- Опубликовано: 3 дек 2020
- For as long as I can remember I have wanted to make a kitchen knife, but finding time has just been really hard, until now! This is the 3rd version of this knife and overall I'm quite happy with it! I am working on minor details at this point, and I will soon be looking to make many more of these!

As someone who’s spent a fair amount of time in a machine shop and who also likes to cook, you sir deserve some mad respect for your dedication. Absolute legend!
Thanks Ross, very kind of you mate!
I have always admired the quality and details you put into these knives.
Thanks very much Dave! I am working every day to keep improving my quality!
I'll second that
Just like the editing of the video and everything
Your style is unique; precise, plain, and perfect. Keep going sir.
You went to culinary school just for this knife? You madman!
Haha, well if it's worth doing it's worth overdoing Steven! It was part-time school for a bit over a year, but it was a lot of fun! I met some great people and made a lot of very tasty food! Plus I found if I made friends with the chefs teaching us then I got a lot of free food! Came home with 9 lamb shanks one night, that was a good week! 😁
@@GoughCustom Sounds like a great time! Cooking skills are always useful too :)
I woke up 5 am and followed Kebab master all day 2 months. And I only cooked kebab once :) Compare to Gough I am padavan level obsessive :)
Man, he just makes it look so simple and easy.
If you’ve made a few knives yourself, you understand how impressive that is.
I like to look in on this channel every now and again because quality is good for the soul.
Thanks Pete :)
As soon as this is up for sale, I'm picking one up. Absolutely mad in the best way for going to culinary school to make the best product possible.
Thanks Brady! Yeah I'm hoping I'm nuts in the best kind of way 🤣 I'll look forward to making a knife for you mate!
You know how many times I thought of this channel and came to check if any new knife making video got posted? I feel like I've aged since.
Edit: This is not a criticism but rather the opposite.
I've been the same way over the years.
I am glad you look forward to my videos so much! Hopefully I will have new videos coming every month or so going forward, I have just been really swamped and stressed the last couple of years... Finally digging myself out of that hole and getting back to a more reasonable place!
I love to see custom kitchen knives on youtube. Most custom knife makers on youtube seem to be oriented more towards camping and hunting knives, so it's nice to see something different. Not to mention that nobody uses knives more frequently than commercial chefs and butchers. I can also tell that you know what you're doing with designing a kitchen knife. A lot of kitchen knives made by people who don't have much experience using knives in a kitchen end up being pretty clunky and unwieldy looking.
Really glad you like the knife mate! It's going to be really fun to go through the final steps to get it out into the world, still quite a lot of work to do! And yeah I really like my knives to get used, so professional chefs will make me happy in that regard!
Waaaayyy to much knowledge in a free RUclips Video! And the fact, you used the knife for over a year and only then showing it to us, is mindblowing!
I'm really glad you found there was helpful stuff in the video mate! It's hard to strike a balance between too much info and too little!
@@GoughCustom Ive been watching since the Arctic mission Knife (I think it was) and ever since I wanted to try out to make a knife myself... Ive never done it cause I just don't know where to start... Especially without having the essential Tools and a proper place to do all that stuff... But I always knew, that if I would ever make one, Id watch your videos again thoroughly since they show everything so extremely well! And additionally, they are made so well! The majority of your videos I watched without skipping a second! :D
@@MacBookAir-cu4fb Well if you ever have any knifemaking questions feel free to ask mate!
@@GoughCustom Hahah thanks man! I will do, if Im ever going to make a knife! ;D Appreciate it a lot! :D
I came across some hand made knives years ago that I wanted but thought they were overpriced. I decided to try my hand at making knives (which is why I started following this channel and a few others) and learned a ton.
It was really fun and I encourage you to try it. Some lessons I learned were:
You are learning on a steep curve so each knife you make will get way better
All of those tools are not necessary but they are worth while if you fall in love with knife making
Order steel from a reputable supplier (i accidentally made my first knife from mild steel which wouldn't harden because I didn't know what kind of metal to buy)
And lastly, it would have been far cheaper to have bought the "overpriced" knife.
your videos are just so damn watchable. the quality of your work, the tightness of the camera work and editing, the succinct and engaging voice-over narration, it's a;ll absolutely on point. you are an absolute inspiration and I hope you keep making videos of this quality for a very long time.
Thanks very much man, really appreciate the kind words! It's pretty crazy how much work goes into a video like this... Lots of *days* of work just in the editing so I appreciate your appreciation!
Your
you
Phil Wilson cryos his blades right after hardening. He said he’s never cracked one this way and it saves time for large numbers of production. You’re a legend gough, I made my first legit knife because of you.
Cheers bud! Yeah for this steel the cryo after quench is a bit too extreme, the steel ends up too brittle, but for other steels that is definitely the go-to!
I would probably watch this guy paint a fence. So good! (A kitchen knife that matches my Resolute would be over the top.)
Haha thanks Clifford :) A matching kitchen knife can definitely be arranged!!
I bought of you knife a year or two ago I’m still in love with it! I am looking forward for this kitchen knife and will definitely be placing an order as soon as your gonna put them on the market!
Thanks very much Johny! Really glad you like your Resolute so much mate!
This is magnificent. i really like the idea of delving into new territory whilst maintaining your core belief of "perfecting one design"
Keep up the amazing work.
Adding an s-grind was a game changer for my kitchen knives. Would highly recommend looking into that!
Thanks! I will definitely look into it!
It's great to see you back on RUclips, and I'm really happy to see you're focusing on Prototype vs Production processes, and only bringing products to market that you can produce extremely well at your own scale.
Others are taking mortgages on Kern Mills for the sake of microns, and you're getting on with real work on personally refurbished commodity hardware. It's inspirational, and I hope you see that.
Jolly good work Mr Gough! I can't wait to see the terrifying custom fly-cutter you design 18 months from now to cut your perfect flats on these knives! Big love.
Haha I get that reference! ;) I think everyone has different things that 'float their boat', for me personally I couldn't stomach taking on the financial burden that would come along with a machine investment of that scale, it would stress me out too much.... But that's not to say I wouldn't love the shiny toy and it's capabilities!
I am actually slowly working on an idea for a CNC machine that I would build fully in-house that would dramatically increase my capabilities while also being much more compact than my current machines... We'll see how that goes! I'm also working on a project to investigate retrofitting my current machines with much more capable controllers that would let me get much better surface finishes... I've been able to get good results out of them but I definitely have to jump through some hoops to get there! Would be nice to get results more easily!
Thanks man, really appreciate your encouragement! I hope I will have some videos coming soon with awesome new toys that I have made myself!
Aaron, I love it, you are like a method actor studying for a movie but just to make a perfect kitchen knife. The lengths you go to to get the knowledge and feedback to make something the right way is incredible and super smart. Glad you "Took your time" on this one, It's a beautiful blade but when you finally perfect your design I can't wait to see how it comes out. Hope all is well and stay safe, Bill from NYC.
Thanks for the kind words Bill! It was definitely a really fun process, could have still been a lot quicker if I wasn't so stressed and overworked lol... Going forward those problems should be greatly reduced though (with any luck!). Hope you're well bud!
@@GoughCustom No problem, I'm glad you had fun and I'm doing really well. Can't say it's normal down here in NYC at my hospital but it's much better than the beginning of the year. Take care and have a great one!
@@Madlintelf Thanks Bill!! Stay safe mate!
Thanks for sharing. Great to see you branching out.
Now, I must keep your chef knife a secret from my wife!
Hey Tony! Thanks for watching mate! I hope you fail to keep the secret! 😀
Saw the notification for this video in the morning. As for all good videos, i saved it to watch at night and literally made some popcorn to watch this. Keep it up, Mr. Gough! Your work is always fantastic!
Awesome Pablo! I am glad you enjoyed the video so much, thanks for the kind words!
Glad to see a new vid! Thanks! If I may share a tip from experience in production re: clamping the blank on the drill press. Clamps are slow. Drill a 1/4" hole in your DP table. Bend a 3" piece of 1/4" round rod so 2" of it is 180 degrees back touching itself. This will be an "anti-helicoptering pin" Way faster then messing with a clamp and so easy you'll actually use it. Pace is high, time is money, so safety must be simple and easy. :)
Good advice on the anti-helicopter device Bert! I totally agree that it what I should have done!
@@GoughCustom It's just a nice easy way to do it. I've got a few holes radiating out from center, so I can move the pin out for bigger pieces. If you really want to up the holding factor, make the rod longer, bend the piece into the shape of a mini blacksmith's hold down and give it a tap to clamp the work piece down so it can't lift when retracting the bit. :)
In pure Aaron Gough style, he doesn't look up other kitchen knives and makes his own, he works in a commercial kitchen and test his knife, you are truly a professional and perfectionist mate well done 👌👌
Thanks very much mate! I can't claim to be an expert, but I definitely enjoy getting a deeper understanding of what the important bits are!
I’m still loving my Red Resolute knife . You do beautiful work .
Really glad you're still liking it so much!!
Awesome to see you back Gough! So many people have learned to make knives from your channel. And I think we all strive to get to your level one day.
Thanks for the kind words mate! I am glad to be back! I released another video about a month ago, not sure if you saw it? Hoping to do roughly one video per month going forward!
Yeah i just watched it. For some reason i didn't see the notification when that one came out. I will be looking forward to the more consistent uploads.
Yesssss! He’s back!!!
I might have to start soaking my EDM stones before using them, just to see if I get an improvement in cutting.
🇬🇧🙏🏻🇦🇺
You definitely will! You don't have to soak them for long, just a couple of minutes, but it really helps stop the stones from loading up...
@@GoughCustom
Cheers Aaron 🙏🏻
Fantastic, as usual.
Thanks very much Russ!
So glad your back!
Thanks Caleb! More videos coming soon!
So excited to see this knife!!
Me too Ian! I am planning to fully release it this year for sure!
Outstanding work.
Thanks Michael!
these videos never fail to impress - thanks as always aaron :)
Glad you liked it mate! Thanks for watching!
i love the look of the texture and color of the handle
Thanks man! Yeah I love the texture of the G10, not something that shows up too strongly on my other knives so it's cool to see it more here!
Fascinating work as always! Thank you for sharing the process.
No worries at all Enis, thanks for watching mate!
Looking great!
Thanks for the video!
Glad you like it mate, thanks for watching!
That looks freaking amazing dude, glad to see you making prototypes and making new designs
Thanks man! Yeah I'm really happy that I've been able to get time to do a bit more fun/new work lately... It's been a really long road but I think things are headed in a good direction now which is great! I will be posting another video soon that will cover some history over the last few years, it's been a wild ride!
Amazing work, as always! I'll definitely pick one up when they're available.
Thanks very much mate! I'll look forward to making you one!
Great job brother, thanks for sharing your process and development of this!!
Thanks mate! No worries at all, thanks for watching!
Awesome to see you back. I've always loved your videos.
Thanks very much Robert :)
Hi, excellent video , I´m using poshing stones and they are amazing. A good finish to the blade is compact grain belts. I go from 180 to 600 and it´s look much better than scotch belts.
Thanks for the tip, I will have to try them out!
thanks for the video, lovely Friday treat.
No worries! Hope you enjoyed it!
Good to see your back. Thanks for sharing this. Cheers from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Thanks very much Cooper!
That's one pretty knife man! I love the handle scale beveling.
Thanks Joe! Yeah I really like the 'stealth' style handle as well, the original rounded handle was so dull in comparison. It's also been very comfortable to use so far which is something I was initially worried about!
Hi Aaron, nice to see you again. It is an exceptional knife. From design to detail. Congratulations 👏🏼👍🏼🤝🏻🇲🇽
Thanks mate, really glad you like it!
Excellent work as usual Aaron. Thanks for sharing. 👊🏼
Thanks very much mate! Thanks for watching!
Hello from Oz. Great knife ,love the way you develop your knives. I will be ordering one of these when they come up for sale. My wife will love it,as will I. Great work Aaron
Cheers Frank! :) I look forward to making one for you mate!
Amazing!
Thanks very much mate!
Man I love your vids. Awesome.
Thanks very much Mike, glad you enjoyed it mate!
Finally!! I saw you mention a kitchen knife on some website like three years ago. Thanks a lot.
Haha yeah it has definitely taken a lot longer than I would like, even the footage in this video is over a year old now! Things are starting to move along more quickly and smoothly on all fronts now though which is great!
Congratulations! Amazing kitchen knife! It is the beautifully kitchen knife I have seen in all my life! 👏👏👏🔝🔝
Thanks mate! really glad you like it!
Great video! Very nicely done with talking through every part!
Thanks Andreas! Really glad you liked it!
That’s an excellent edge 💪🏻👍🏻
Thanks! It will be even better once I thin out the bevel a bit more on the next version!
So nice to see a new knife making video of you. I need to try out your technique with the super glue to grind the bevells. Thank you
Thanks mate! I have used the super glue technique a couple of times now and it works really well! It helps keep the blade cool too which is great. I found it's pretty easy to break the bond with a blow from a hammer so make sure you use plenty of glue, because it's not fun if it comes loose during grinding!
@@GoughCustom thanks for the info 👌👍
As many others I started making knife with your file jig design, I look up to you, you're an amazing guy 💪 keep up the great work !
Greetings from Switzerland
What a treat Aaron! Made my day. Chef School...You the Man! The idea of a 'Do it All' kitchen knife is sorely needed. Spent a lot over the years on my eclectic taste in cutlery but in every case the handle shape is one of the primary things I feel for. Your handle and blade shape has peaked my interest and signed up. Although I didn't think I would need any other knives the idea of an all around is most appealing to my need to find the ultimate. ~¿@ My go to chef's is an 8" Myabi (Morimoto) because the handle fits my big mits perfectly as well as my Mrs...steel is Good too. Second (a gift from my son) is a Dragon Fire, although the handle isn't perfect, the thin Cryo blade with 16° grind is perfect for vegies and other soft foods. Third best is my Kikuichi 270mm Yanagi (Sushi only)...balance and handle are a real pleasure and a treasured personally hand engraved (by Kikuichi Master engraver) 60th BD gift from Mrs PJ. Can't wait to see where you take this new line. All Our Best to you! Happy Holidays, and please stay safe.
Hey PJ! Great to hear from you as always mate! Sounds like you really know your way around a kitchen knife! I will look forward to making one for you, hopefully it won't disappoint! Kitchen knifes are definitely something very subject to personal taste... Hope you're well mate, stay safe!
I've been watching your videos for 7 years now, and I always enjoy seeing how you develop your skills. I'm super excited to see you make a new knife! Keep up the good work :)
Thanks very much Christophe! Really appreciate you coming along on the journey with me mate!
Man you are awesome!! Super video! It shows that dedication and persistence pays off..
Thanks Igor! Definitely still have a lot of work to do, but progress is always good!
Great to see new content from you! I made my first knife, and now 14 more, using your filing jig.
That's awesome Brian! I am glad the filing jig has worked so well for you!
oh shit, it's finally happening! v much looking forward to buying one of these :)
Slowly but surely! Next year is going to be a big year, I can tell you that much! I'll look forward to making you one mate!
@@GoughCustom :) :)
top work!
Thanks mate, glad you liked it!
Dude... this is your best video yet! Keep it up!
Thanks man! Really glad you liked it so much!
looks awesome Aaron, excited to see where this goes 👍
Thanks dude! I'm excited to get these happening sooner rather than later!
@@GoughCustom can't wait buddy!!
It's really good to see this video arrive on this channel. Gough Custom is one of the main reasons I wanted to start making blades when I was a teenager. Well over 10 years later I am still around waiting for updates :). Awesome to see you grinding steel man. Thank you for helping me find a passion all those years ago. I hope whatever is going on in life for you gives you some time to keep us updated. Looking forward to what's next!
Thanks very much mate, really glad I was able to help spark that interest for you! If you'd like to get updates more often you should make sure to check out my instagram account, it's nice because I can make small updates and interact with everyone very directly! It's great being able to chat with folks like yourself that have seen the whole journey!!
That's a very nice kitchen knife! 👌🏽
Thanks very much Gelo!
Hey Aaron, so glad to see you again here on youtube!!!
Thanks mate! Glad to be back! Should have another video coming soon!
Good job my friend!
Thanks very much mate!
You are posting more often. Great to see!
Thanks Yan! Yeah I hope to post a video about once a month going forward, already have a bunch more videos lined up and waiting!
Let us not forget that Damascus isn’t just the capital of Syria. Damascus Resolute MK III?
Love the knife you sent - I carry it every day
Really glad you like your knife mate! I actually have a bar of stainless powder-metallurgy damascus from Damasteel here that is waiting to be made into a pair of Resolutes. I cut it down to the right size the other day and will hopefully do at least some initial machining on it before the end of the year!
Finally a kitchen knife( santoku shape) !! The knife handle looks pretty good with black and orange colours on it. Excellent rendering.
Thanks very much! I am looking forward to actually having these for sale!
It’s been a pleasure learning from you over the years Aaron!! You are borderline too transparent with all of your techniques and testing!!
Cheers Ben! Really glad the videos have been helpful mate, thanks for coming along on the journey with me bud!
God, another video from you man. extraordinary work like always.
Thanks very much Hamid! I'm hoping to post about one video a month going forward!
@@GoughCustom Hey man , got anything coming up soon?
plus. what would it take for me to leave my home, work and country to be your mentor?
Like always its a pleasure watching you work much needed relaxation during final exam week! Once this comes out I would be interested in getting my hands on one since the other knives I find difficult to justify without it being something I would be able to use regularly.
Really glad you liked the video Andrew! Yeah I totally understand what you mean about not wanting to buy a knife unless you're really going to have a use for it, and I appreciate that a lot as I really want my knives to be used! I hope this one will be a way to make them approachable and useful for a lot more people!
@@GoughCustom good thinking! I know this is probably going to take a while yet to perfect technique and workmanship so Ill keep checking back
Awesome 👍 inspired ❤️
Glad to hear mate!
Please make more videos. They are so inspiring.
Thanks very much mate! I have released a few videos over the last couple of months, not sure if you've seen them? Next video coming April 1st!
Can't wait to get one in my kitchen!
I'll look forward to making one for you Lucas! A little while to go yet while I get everything worked out, but I'm making solid progress!
@@GoughCustom was hoping to get one as a gift a year or so ago when you first mentioned it. Any chance you might have it dialed in by June?
*Keeping fingers crossed
@@lucashipkins It's definitely a possibility! Just depends how long it takes to get the new CNC process dialled in! Making kitchen knives with CNC is complicated as they're so long and thin that it's hard to hang onto them while doing the machining...
You are awesome mate! WTB more vids!
Thanks very much!
Awesome, want to try one of these out
Glad you like it mate! Really looking forward to getting a few of the next version into people's hands!
Fantastic to see you release a video again Aaron. And I see you take your research very seriously. I have found that, on large chef knives a double convex grind works the best. Also if you leave the surface of the knife with a high grit belt finish, that also helps, I use a surface conditioning belt, to get my final finish. Great to see you again.🍻
Thanks for the tips Jeff! I have been looking at going to a subtle convex grind on my Resolute knives as well, so maybe I'll just go convex everywhere!
Hey Aaron, just wanted to say thanks, I made one of those knife filing jigs using your instructional video as a basis. It's really helped me a lot. I can't fit a decent sized belt grinder where I'm currently working from, and I didn't want to use a 1x30, the file jig is helping me make good plunge grinds.
Awesome mate! I'm really glad the filing jig has been helpful!
you are a talent sir. nice chopping skills too
Thanks very much Mickey!
Great video 👍
Glad you enjoyed it Alex!!
Amazing knife🔪, plz make more videos because you make awesome job
Thanks very much Leonidas! I will hopefully be releasing one video every month or so going forward!
I would love a knife like this!!
Thanks Joe! Glad you like it! Hopefully I will be making more of these towards the middle of the year!
I've been waiting passionately for a new vid. As always worth the wait. Your knife making processes are much different than mine and I certainly don't use CNC cause I just don't have one but always enjoy your vids. You have come a long way from when I started watching you. Nice work.
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed the video! I appreciate your patience, hopefully I should have more regular releases going forward!
Wow cooking school you are truly a jack of trades. The kitchen knife is very classy. Glad you are back again with a new video so soon. How is the video for the new shop going. Will it be done soon. Looking forward to it. Take care.
Hey Richard! Glad you like the knife so far mate! New video coming soon talking about the new shop, it won't be what you think it is though :)
@@richardgaray9979 Sales have been 'ok', a bit slower since COVID hit, but it's also likely because I've been quoting people a 4 month lead time because I've had lots of backorders to catch up on! Kind of nice to have a little bit of time to get caught up! Stay well mate!
I'm subscribed. More videos please. Very interesting knife.
I love the angular handle look.
And culinary school to help you make a better knife? You really take product testing to another level!
Glad you like it! Culinary school was a lot of fun, I am really glad I went!
Yess! I'm in class but this is more important !
Well I don't know about that! Hope school is going well!
Amazing knife. And equally great video about it. The video reminds me of your old videos from back in the basement. Man, it's been a while. :D
Thanks Scott, glad you liked it mate! Yeah it definitely is a lot more reminiscent of my older videos, I agree! Hopefully I will be posting more going forward, it's just been a real struggle to find time! I have been making real strides in making more time in my life though, and also in making improvements so videos are easier for me to make!
Wow bro you are real artist 👍👍👍😌😌
Thanks Zaid!!
I like how the handle looks like a signature of you
Thanks Neil! That was definitely one of my complaints with versions of the knife before this one, they really didn't look like one of my knives... This one is definitely more my style!
very nice knife, i like it
Thanks very much Elmer!
Man, as usual you bring a whole new level of precision and consideration into even the smallest factors of your work. That's fantastic.
If you ever consider making a variation on this, I think a Kiritsuke tip would be excellent. If you liked the look of an angular handle, a K-tip may look even better to you!
Thanks Ben! :) A k-tip is an interesting idea! I will have to try it out and see how it looks!
Awesome video as usual, awesome knife as usual!.... Put me on the orderlist 😄
Thanks very much man! I'll look forward to making one for you!
Hello and thank you for showing these great building process. I am a german knifemaker and very interessted in the mold polishing stones to reduce the satin finish time. Which Stones do you use exaxtly? Best regards, David
Hey David! The stones I use are the CS-M stones from MoldShopTools.com, tell them I sent you! I use the 1/4x1/2" size ones in a variety of grits and find they cut very quickly... If you're switching over from sandpaper it's worth noting that you can start at a higher grit and space out your grits more when using mold stones... So if your normal progression with sandpaper is 120, 220, 400, 600, 1000 then when using mold stones you can likely go to just using 320, 600, 1000... They will save you a lot of time! And they're cheaper overall than sandpaper too I've found! Each stone lasts me for about 15-20 knives...
EDIT: Here's a direct link to the stones I use: www.moldshoptools.com/catalog/list.php?start=39
@@GoughCustom Hey Gough, thanks for your answer. I placed the order and Im looking forward to test the stones :) Best regards, David
you're back! welcome back!
Thanks very much mate! More videos coming soon!
Fantabulous 👌👌👍👍
(Fantastic + Fabulous) ☺️
Thanks very much Sanjay!
I've made a Japanese style petty and a more traditional 8inch chefs knife. Both turned out good but the 8 incher did warp slightly in the heat treat. I hand file all my knives so cant heat treat first. Want to make a large bowie next. Great video. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks man, glad you liked the video! Good work on the knifemaking! Keep it up!
love the knife, definitely going to want to buy one as soon as you get them out the door, though I would like a finer and more aggressive sharpen - I usually reprofile the knives I get to around 8 degrees per side, which is great since I don't do much meat with them anyways
Nice mate, I will look forward to making one for you!
Wow, never thought you’d do a chef knife, I’m no culinary expert but that looks great. My sister is a chef in Edinburgh so maybe I’ll pick one of these up eventually for her. But for me, how about a folding pocket knife? I know I know, everyone asks, haha! I just lost my Fällkniven TK4 that I had for over 10 years, I’m bummed out.
Hey mate! The plan in my mind has always been one outdoors knife, one kitchen knife and one folding knife! Just executing the plan has taken longer than I would have imagined! I am still working on ideas for the folding knife but it will definitely be something a bit different!
@@GoughCustom Awesome, take as long as you need brother!
My favourite knife is heavily tapered in both directions. All the mass is on the spine towards the handle, and it gives a beautiful feel. Just something to consider
Thanks for the feedback! This knife definitely has a taper in the blade, but not a really heavy taper. The handle is also pretty light because the blade bevel continues through the tang which removes a fair bit of weight!
Amazing video as always! Looking forward to be able to get myself one of these.
Curious when the mini fixed knife you have sitting on the desk will be available as well.
Hey Henri! Really glad you like it mate! Not too sure if I'll actually end up making the mini fixed blade for sale... The chef's knife is definitely higher priority at the moment!
Great stuff, awesome prototype. If I were you, I would make the handle quite a bit rounder and more barrel like, would be way more ergonomic for most people.
Hey Yan! Thanks very much mate! I have actually found the handle very comfortable personally, and I have used the knife quite a lot over the last year... It will definitely be tested well before I go into full 'production' with it though!
my master has returned
Thanks Mikail, hope you enjoyed the video!
@@GoughCustom i do!
