Just ordered this blade! Can't wait to check out your own brand of knives. Owned pretty much all your CRKT stuff and even some Hanwei and Bugei over the last 15 years. Big fan!
I have a cast iron skillet about that same diameter, perfect for frying one egg at a time, if you want a perfect fried egg with crispy edges. Two, if you're hungry. I haven't ever seen this adorable Dutch oven size. We have a 10" and a 12". What do you put between the bacon and the Cheese? It would smell and taste delicious, I'm sure.
Cast iron is heavy, but great on the fire like this. This one is from Petromax, it’s their smallest size. Works well solo or with a kid or two. After the bacon comes the “crozets” it’s a type of buckwheat pasta from the French alps.
80CrV2 is a bit tougher, V4E should give you better edge retention and corrosion resistance. In a knife you’d really have to abuse them to see real differences.
Admirations for Andrius! When you doing something with passion and love, the resolt is coming by itself! Keep going in this direction, Andrius! I really like all the designs of your knives!
Beautiful blade. Three questions (if you don’t mind): 1. I own several of your 3.5 shobu zukuri mini-Kaikens …my current favourite is the V4E SZ, which is perfect. First question is how you feel the V4E holds up against the new Magnacut? I know, for my purposes (personal defense) it is all the same …and before I started carrying the WBD knives some years back, I used to carry your CRKT versions (that were of ‘lesser’ steel). If the purpose is self defense, then even the simplest steel will work. But with that said, what are your thoughts of V4E as compared to Magnacut? 2. What is your thoughts of the osoraku zukuri shape vs the shobu zukuri? I’ve tried both for penetration (the CRKT Inazuma folder with the OZ shape, and the 4.5 elmax steel SZ Kaiken …and both did very well on plywood). Again, for purposes of personal defense both blade shapes would work well, but what are your views on (any) differences? 3. Finally, is there a custom version of the Magnacut 3.5 SZ mini-Kaiken coming out? In the past there have usually been a custom/limited version coming out after the ‘main’ release. Is this the case? Thank you very much, and thanks for the amazing work!
Thank you for the feedback! 1. Functionally I think it’s hard to find serious differences between these high-end steels, and even some more basic steels. They’re all excellent steels. Between V4E and MagnaCut, the main difference is corrosion resistance, with V4E being a tool steel you won’t get the same corrosion performance in humid/sweaty environments. I’ve been very happy with the toughness of V4E, I use it a lot for fire prep when I’m outdoors. Need to use MagnaCut more to say for sure, but people are constantly asking for it. 2. The difference in performance is marginal. You get a bit of a different edge profile toward the tip, but it’s mainly aesthetic. 3. We have some SZM customs coming later this summer with MagnaCut and CF from FatCarbon. 👍
@@williamsbladedesign last question, if you don’t mind. Any plans for coming out with more of the WBD bearded axes? It’s been missing for some time (I got the CRKT Skeggox axe, but it’s not the same), and while waiting I’ve gotten all the Winkler axes I have wanted to get. :) But still yearning for the WBD bearded axe. If it is anything like the Skeggox (which is the same axe but with different materials) it must be totally amazing. Any chance? I am assuming that, considering there have been no Winkler-WBD collaborations for quite some time, that may be the reason for no WBD axes in a while? Any chance TRC would make them? Or is there some secret squirrel stash of new-old stock WBD axes that may come on the website … ;^) Many thanks and stay blessed.
I just purchased the Freedom, my first TRC. I wanted a high quality knife for my moose Hunt in British Columbia this October. I have owned many fixed blade knives, Bark River, Enzo, Brisa, Arno Bernard, Boker, Moki, Esee, Ontario, Russell, and more, and I have to say that I have never been so excited to receive a new knife in my life. Thank you for your craft and dedication to life. Riipinen of Finland
It's a stupid ass design. That might be the most unfunctional thing I've ever seen. Not a weapon, hand will slide up the blade. Zero ergos so you can't work with it. Doesn't even look cool.
It's funny, because the dumbs always have issues with these - because they're too ignorant to know what they don't know, and too stupidly arrogant to learn. 😂
Totally RAD! I finally got one! SZK005 #76/150 , and it is so absolutely incredible. It is my favorite knife, and the sheath is the best I have encountered in the knife world. Good Luck with that awesome blade Bro!
The best blade ever created! I have the Williamsbladedesign/trcknives SZK005, and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE that knife! It is so INCREDIBLE! Every one of my blades are made in USA except this MAGNIFICENT SPECIMEN, and it is my BEST knife. My HFB CombatDirtNap is Very Close! Like so Absolutely close. The trcknives craftsmen are some of the very best in the world. Very impressive, Quality, Outstanding blades!
@@williamsbladedesignOUTSTANDING! I just can’t wait to get this Blade in my hands Have a GREAT NEW YEAR !! I had to use my step son Hunters credit card.
A like that they don't have a hundred of knife desinges I have to chose from and decide.. Buy Polheim and Apocalypse, and thats all a man need in his life. And I hope they will last longer than one mans life, and the price is no problem when you get quality what you paid for!
I like your folders. I have a couple requests. Longer blade like the Otonashi Maybe offer a more entry level knife with aluminum or g10 and a little lesser steel Put a wave opener on it. All the knives I carry have to have a good wave opener I love your knives but they are almost just collector knives, not really to use imo
Thank you for the feedback. Our next folder will be Otanashi sized. The wave opener is a bit more complicated due to the patent issue, although we’re working on some options.
I have number 100
I just grabber 69/150! 👊🏼

@@williamsbladedesign Hey, Thank you.
That food was delicious
How tough is vanadis compared to 80crv2?
80CrV2 is a bit tougher, V4E should give you better edge retention and corrosion resistance. In a knife you’d really have to abuse them to see real differences.
@williamsbladedesign thanks for that ,all of the designs are awesome either way 😀

Just ordered. Wanting something, "Dressier" for EDC
Quality knife with bad handle ergonomic. Bark river is a better knife.
Absolutely disagree! Bark river is just overpriced and nothing more to offer you! 😅
Love that handle design. I really wish there was a hand guard or something that prevents your hand to slip onto the blade
They don't add it so it doesn't snag on your clothes when carrying it ISWB
@@rdrs6872 Okay
Favorite knife at the moment - Willams Blade Design + TRC = perfection
Thank you 🙏

We’re working on it. Hoping to have some before the end of the year. Will start with the CBX 👍
@@williamsbladedesign you guys rock! All the best and God bless.
Much too expensive for a knife that is reproduced endlessly by modifying it by just a few mm, it's making fun of the world.
Thank you for your products,work,dedication and passion ,really a great job! Keep up the good work!🙏👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Pretty much perfection. Can't wait for mine to arrive.
Art. That gentleman is an artist, not a machinist. His philosophy is honest and true. Really enjoyed his talk.
Ordered mine today..cant wait.
Such a magnificently beautiful blade! I hope they show up on the website one day
How can I get that sheath for my OZK 002?❤
Could talk to instagram.com/offensive_industries?igsh=dzh4eTN5ZnR5enh6 👍
I like the new packaging. That blade though is something else.
Appreciate the feedback. All our packaging will be like this from now on. 👍
Beautiful blade!
Beautiful! Appears to be a hidden tang? Thanks!!
Not this one, but we have another design that is.
Are you guys planning on making another run of these? I’d snag one up!!
Yes, hopefully by June.
Cool 😍
