Loved the free hand milling, Koss. Always amazed at the simplicity of what you build sometimes and the beauty it becomes...truly simple elegance! Thanks Koss, always a treat!
Don’t own one yet, but for shure one of next in my collection. This piece, still with some small licence (the blade shape) is another masterpiece. Thanks for sharing 🙏
This really does have a simple and yet still exquisite design. As someone who uses knives both in camping/backpacking and cooking, I have some sense of a good blade design(though no expert), and the blade seems well designed for a useful pocket knife, the minimalist design is perfect for pocket carry and ease of use, And the lines are aesthetically perfect. The perfect pocket knife? And all hand made. Wonderfully done.
Traditionally tantos don't have grip pads they're just a wooden block for the handle so you'd lose the traditional look, though I'm sure it would make it more comfortable to hold
Without some kind of internal stop pin or ledge on the ricasso for the closed position, won’t the edge of the blade bang on the inside of the handle when closing?
Ну тут и так понятно, человек занимается,много станков и приблуд, профессионал , и ты не сможешь за ним повторить , а ват если человек делает, с болгаркой и обычным наждаком ,это совсем другая история. Мастеру ,лайк 👍
ножик получился очень красивый! но есть пара нюансов. очень большой угол сведения. такой грубый угол делается для прочности, когда ножом планируется работать в суровых условиях, что уже не актуально для складного ножа, но это еще ничего, а вот штифт заклепаный в миллиметровой латуни не самое надежное соединение. в таком случае куда логичнее было бы сделать клинок более острым, что б он идеально резал в не нагруженных условиях, потому что в нагруженых клинок выдержит, а вот заклепка нет. да и вообще какие тяжелые условия могут быть для складного ножа?))
great looking knife .... 2 questions: (1) why don't you add ball bearings? your stuff is quality enough for it. (2) I didn't see a locking mechanism, was there one? thx
bro, as a follower from turkey, I like your work very much, I want to buy a knife from you, unfortunately, my financial situation is not enough at the moment, but if my financial situation allows, I will get it one day I hope you will continue to do it until that day Greetings from turkey, regards 😊

Right, I'm a CNC machinist and I've NEVER seen anybody try that one
What an awesome minimalist design! Another truly epic piece! Thanks again!
I was doing my own higonokame and that square brass tubing looks like a GREAT advantage over hammering flat stock. Awesome build!
Again abs. perfect video and product, bravo and full respect from old BG.
Very nice elegant, simple, razor sharp,, and these qualities when blended are very Japanese in my opinion The beauty speaks for itself! Thank you.

Very nice medieval European peasant's knife!
It is a XX century Japanese school student pen knife ;)
That is the best looking higonokami I've ever seen. It's like a japanese version of the Otter copper folder
Man you are truly skilled. I never get tired of these videos.

Awesome work. It's cool seeing the processes behind the knife part.
Great great job 👍🏻💪🏻
Exciting video! Impressive craftsmanship and attention to detail. Great job! I would add grip pads. Copper is very soft, they will strengthen it.
I think the same

@@dylandavis2737 I am not opposed to this option. but then you need to do not from copper
@@serengytech is the handle not wood? I honestly just skimmed the video and it looked like wood
@@dylandavis2737no it’s copper

HIGOKONAMI 3.0!!! AWESOME WORK
I really need to make this one day. The design is simple but sweet, and I have a ton of short steel scraps that would make great folders :)
Super nice little knife! May I ask where you source that tubing. I’d love to attempt to make one of these. Thanks much!
Thank you, Koss, for sharing your craft with us.
I am always waiting your video!!!!!!
May I inquire where you source that tubing from ? Thank you! Love this knife
Congrats on 1M, 👑🙌🏾🤝
Beauty. And a decently thick blade too.
beautiful piece of work
Good job 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Beautiful blade you made there
Amazing Craftsmanship 👍👍🏽👍🏻

less is more. beautiful knife!
Very elegant.
The design looks like shaver from 60's
That's one of the reasons I love this knife. Idk what is about a straight razor I enjoy so much, though....
@@HaloDJumper couldn't agree more
Well before straight razors got formed people used to shave with knives...
@@galadballcrusher8182 yes i knew, i have one at home from 60's, it was belonged my grandfather
@@agungh1670 i mean regular knives just sharpened well. Even in middle ages
Absolutely perfect
Amazing work
Авторская работа второго такого ножа нет в этом уникальность этого вкусного ножа!!! Чтож остаётся только мечтать о нём!!!

格好いい肥後守ですね。

Excellent work. Great making video anyway 👍👍

No words!!🎉

Beautiful
Great looking knife! Nice work!
beautiful knife
Clean friction folder ❤
I have a question about your bandsaw. What type of bandsaw are you using and which blades do you use with it?
Very pretty. Looks heavy in pocket .?
You should electro etch some kind of design into the handle. That would be killer!
Damn, missed out on this beauty
This reminds me of the higonokami nagao japanese folder blade
Nice
I'd carve a little notch where the bar part meets the hinge, so it locks in better.
It's actually better than the real one.
How does the blade stay sharp through the tumbling process? Do you sharpen it again afterwards, or is the tumbling media just really soft?
Eline sağlık.
This is what art looks like...
Is that a shop made surface grinder?
Mantap 👍👍👍
Gorgeous! But how did you make the integral handle??! I’d love to have seen the process on that, beautiful design.
Wouldn't the turner thing dull the blade?
Amazing..
Where did you get that copper stock at? I cannot find it anywhere !!!
开时背做个保险扣定！😊
Have to ask, where did you get the brass tubing? Can't find anything that fits.
Mantap👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤
..let me ask: how do you carry a knife that would near instantly puncture your pocket?
bro, as a follower from turkey, I like your work very much, I want to buy a knife from you, unfortunately, my financial situation is not enough at the moment, but if my financial situation allows, I will get it one day I hope you will continue to do it until that day Greetings from turkey, regards 😊
sorry for my bad english i use translation ...
日本の折り畳み式ナイフである肥後守（higo-no-kami）によく似ています。
肥後守はシープフットナイフのような刃先になっています。
Was that brass or copper that you used for the handle?
nice work, fantastic knife but blade is too thick
