I've had surprising success modding old-school kitchen knives. I initially learned by playing with two that I bought at a thrift store for $2. Then I spent $10 on an Old Hickory Butcher knife and did a decent job reshaping it.
Great stuff- no bs - I'm going to have to break down and get a belt grinder...looks like fun & I have a LOT of old laminate files around 😏. Thanks, Joe!!
The Third one surprised me..but I also liked your suggestion to try and clone a knife that we really want but can not get for whatever reason...cool idea
It's good to see ya back Joe good video my most used would be my eldris cheapest go's to the 511 by my all around fav and carried is my jx4 the bushbat w/ the packet sheath from c2g fab
Great ro see tou back Joe. Nice line up of knives. Your Mobley build looks good. I bet it will be great once you get a handle on it. I agree with you. Folks should try to make their own knives. My last build was a mocotaugan. I had wanted one for a long time but just couldnt justify the cost. I had a chunk of beech burl I had harvested and bought a Nicholson file for $7 and made one for a total of $26. I am really proud of it too. Looks great and carves like a boss. Have a great weekend my friend.
I was a knife dealer and in retirement, I refurbish/modify knives/hatchets/axes/swords. Swiss army knife. The minimum. Based upon a discussion I had some 40 years ago with Ron Hood. He wanted a saw. I wanted a scissors. Scissors because I am down and out if I have ragged toenails/fingernails, unable to neatly cut things, and or unable to clean my nails. The minimum model is the Huntsman. This was before Leatherman tools. Leatherman tools. Everyone seems to bid up the used Waves. Any lesser model than a Wave, but having a scissors is fine. Daily carry knife? A used/abused original Spyderco Endura (cannot take apart model). Purchased with a broken clip that was fully removed. Plain blade. If taken from me or lost, no biggie. Fits in pocket. Remember, the balloon has not gone up. There is no shtf right now. And, if you don't have a tool with you, you might as well understand you will not be high up on the food chain. A safe queen is not going to help you.
I think the model if that Victorinox, is the "Deluxe Tinker". Main tools: large blade, scissors and pliers. Plus the usual can and bottle opener, small blade, toothpick, tweezer etc. With a Philips #2, hook and reamer on the back. I got one of these in the mail just one day ago. It's pretty much their answer to the Leatherman Squirt PS4, which I liked a lot but gave to a friend. I prefer Victorinox tools and own a small collection of them.
some nice knives there bro. i like the last one alot n you did a good job on it. ive wanted to make a few designs i got layin around but where i live they complain alot about noise..
I also got an ld51, won it through a gaw. It's a brick to carry, literally heavy as hell, much heavier than a leatherman wave + a CS Large Voyager(bd1). I like how many tools it has, but the pliers are very cheap and useless.
Oddly enough, it's pronounced "rake." It's so timely that you are showing this. I have been ogling this very model for a little while now. It seems to have all the strengths of a good Victorinox, but with better materials. I love your cheapest knife! I keep promising myself to take a shot at making a knife.
Very cool a lot of great pics I'm going to make a video doing the same thing thank you it'll be on my channel in a couple days if you would like to check it out God I wish I knew how or was able to make a knife I think that is so awesome plus there's nothing better to me then an actual handmade knife
Nice I also was tagged if you get the time check it out . REAPER MILITIA SIDETRACKED RUclips CHANNEL.. push my face lol have a good one and good luck with school.

Glad you’re back I can’t stand most of the other reviewers out there. They offer no real content other than reviewing stuff they get for free
Agreed
Really missed you sir!! Blessings 😇

Where are you now. I notice you're in a T shirt and the leaves are still on the trees. A warm state. :-)
Jeff Bush one would be great knife for you to review. I know of no one better to run it through the paces than you!
Jeff White Bush one*
Any chance of comparing that Black feather with the Bravo EDC and Adventurer when you do the review?
It's pronounced "rake". Why? No idea! Really cool piece though I didn't even know they made a multi tool.
Well.....great to see your smiling face again, so soon! You could of reviewed a ham sandwich and I would have enjoyed it! LOL!!! >;-)
