    Bought three of em, assembled one for myself, the other two as Christmas gifts for my dad and my buddy. As a proud owner of the 25mm version already I am a huge fan of this size. If you ever find yourself in the teeny tiny 9mm blade industry I will definitely be there to subsidize it for ya.

    Just assembled mine today! Even my dad was impressed with the design. Still need to do some more finishing work but that can wait. The Olfa blades are quite nice, would love to see a Torx kit for the 18mm knife but I understand that might be a bit of a tall order.
    Merry Christmas and thank you AvE.

    Beautiful little piece of machinery. I will disclose DEWALT blades are working in it well, tis what I had on hand.

    got my blades from Amazon today, so i spent some time assembling. turned out pretty cool. I did destroy one of the wife's emery boards sanding some of the manufacturing slag..
    I assembled, then took apart and did more sanding and blued up the inner parts. Then reassembled and turned out amazing. have a tinge more cleaning up on the outer edges of the blade guides (manufacturing nipples)
    Overall a fun project and is very nice!
    Thank you

    My 18mm blade would slide out the back without having to press the retention pin button on the rear basel platten. I flexed the retention lever in just a little, fiddled with the screws (not too tight) and walah! Works great. It locks back in safely now. Love it! I realized it was an (old) 18mm xacto blade and not Olfa--I'll rectify that. I got 25mm new olfas, will now get the 18mm to make everything as smooth as possible. THANK YOU! In the box was a Retina blaster 9000 I didn't order, so if someone says they're missing it, lol.

    @christopherperisho4819 8 дней назад

    Where was this vidjeo like a week and a half ago when I put mine together? But for seriously, loving the knife. I had fun with it and tempered the screws, button, and blade guides varying shades. Looks great and cuts like a hot damn! Truly a slick knife!
    Only feedback would be, the springamathing on the basal platen not being spring steel, it basically immediately remembers where it gets pushed to and no longer provides retention to keep from drawing the blade too far back by accident when not deliberately trying to pull it out to change the blade. Had the jeezeless blade and button jump out on me when I was first getting used to using it. Contributing factor might could be that I also got the retention pin in backards seein' as I was guessing at it without the guide vidjeo...I"ll double check that. But still the not-springy spring seems an issue.

    I had gifted one of your 25mm units to a friend and college of over 25 years. We both recently showed up on a job site 2100 miles away (2200 for Him) several months after the said gifting. He proudly displayed gifted 25mm unit that was assembled incorrectly. Now this gentleman is an Ex US Nuclear Navy, so not your run of the Mill DA. I confiscated his non-functional unit and told him I would reassemble it and return it when completed. Damn good thing Sir "AvE" that you included a couple of spare screws and a blade retention pin...which is likely at the bottom of his Ammo Can Tool box. Now awaiting VFR weather to fly 1:30 (each way...weather dependent) to return His gifted precision made 25mm utility knife. I will be requiring Him to dump the contents of his Ammo Can tool box to recover MY spare retention pin.

    Sure I could spend a little more time and clean it up more better. But where's the fun in that? Actually, I will probably do that someday and definitely take some better time with the 25mm one. Until then, i've got almost a full set. I 3D printed the 25mm one also.

    Made mine and upgraded the big one to copper a few days ago. Great knives but there’s maybe an issue with the flap of metal that acts as a spring on the blade retention button where it doesn’t go all the way back in once a new blade is installed. Was fine on the first few blades on the big un but now not so much..
    But love the knives and thanks for all your content. I started watching all the way back when you did your boltr of the dewalt grinder and enjoyed all your videos since..

    As a 10 year sheet metal programmer/operator/individual everyone bothers with questions, I could knock that out in a couple hours, start to finish. Programming a laser, punch press, or waterjet is a hundred times easier than programing a lathe or mill and a million times easier than a robot welder. I know, I can do all of those.

    • @akselbering291
      @akselbering291 9 дней назад +4

      Yup, almost finishing my apprentiship and I'm sitting here thinking this would be no big deal for even me to knock out in a few hours, 1 type of countersunk hole, One threaded hole.
      The only slight issue I might foresee is the one thin plate, the slim protusion would probably warp a bit if laser cut but even that could be alleviated by putting the tack out at that ends tip.
      There's barely any chances to mess up, I think it's more an issue of finding a company that's small enough to not have high overheads but still big enough to have anything more precise than a plasma table.
      Like we do batch runs like this all the time where I work, but 99% of them are from established customers that aren't going away anytime soon.

    • @Steve-sd7wk
      @Steve-sd7wk 9 дней назад +2

      ​@akselbering291 last place I worked for did everything from 1 to 10's of thousands, contractor running 3 lasers and 6 brakes, plus welding and some machining. If you order your path correctly, you can mitigate that warping. Bounce back and forth, takes more time, but warps less than if you burn one end to the other, gives it a little time to cool down. Also depends what assist gas you have, Non ferrous materials SHOULD run with nitrogen, which would also help keep the temp down and mitigate warpage.

  • @andycarson3341
    @andycarson3341 9 дней назад

    I got the 18mm. The blade retention button is a nice decoration, blade slides in and out without pressing the button. If I put the knife in my pocket the slide button gets knocked off. Tried loosening it, tightening it - nada. Put a plastic plug in the slide button hole to keep in from falling out for now. I will upgrade to a rubber grommet later. I am using new OLFA blade.

    Had issues with my retention plunger not stopping the blade. was too wide. Can use the play in the top and bottom rail "spacer" to adjust the fit.
    can do this by loosening all the screws on one side and use gravity to bias the rail to the inside or outside. For me i had to bias both rails to the inside/center. I was using olfa blades.
    Works great otherwise. Broke in faster than the 25mm veraion for me
