If I may use a very rough analogy, I think about your channel kind of like a meal. The main dish is the good, most fulfilling stuff. It’s the content where I’m learning stuff. The sides are the knife show and tell videos, something that complements the main dish but doesn’t distract from that quality. The dessert is just sitting and BSing with us, probably the most enjoyable thing. I like that each week’s video is a bit different, it really makes your Sunday video a highlight for me. Keep switching up the content, I always enjoy it. Have a great week!
So far I like the way you mix up your content a bit. A little technical and a bit of bs’n. Thanks for the kind words! Flat and parallel for the win! 👊🏽
@@BlessKnives thanks bro. Yeah just not getting the results I want yet. I will get it dialed in eventually. Truly appreciate all your support and advice Donny😎👊
Funny w Regard to the Pivot Slippin... My SMF Perf Series was getting a little "Sloppy" and I was getting disgeartened, and I just tightened up the BODY Screws NOT the Pivot and its Back to being Smooth as Silk!! What a Knife!! I was so pleased and intrigued at HOW much of a difference the Screw Just one down from the pivot affects the action immensely
YES....ABSOLUTELY WANNA KEEP WATCHING "SATU'S FORENSIC KNIFEOLOGY...." I have a knife on washers that I would kill to be able to put on bearings...I actually hate the washer action it currently has...
Thanks Dave ! Enjoy your thought process. I always learn something new, from the channel. Love seeing your mods! I like seeing folders you don't see everyday. To cool you know how to front flip now. The Sherif collaboration look cool in my opinion. Keep up the good work. 👍 shoots
I love seeing how you do the work! It’s always fun looking and BSing about knives, but I really love learning and see how the work is done. But at the end of the day, keep making the content you want! I will still watch either way 🤜🤛
Lots of nice ones in this, I dig the modding stuff and would like to see the studs and detent work. I'd the patina ride on the t1 and see how it changes organically, then reet if it's not looking like you want it or takes a turn you don't like, but it's coming along nicely so far. Totally agree about having to learn the machining and manually making the knives, there's lots of contradiction on logic, theory, or processes, but both can still turn out awesomeness. I appreciate high tolerance and precision, but also like seeing makers marks and personality infusion.
@@Gman1024 thanks Gman👊😎. I think I am going to let the T1 do whatever it wants. I can always refinish it later like ya mentioned. Appreciate you’re support and feedback 😎👊🤘🤘

Let it rust! The grind on Kev's knife looks awesome with the black contrast on the blade. As far as the new knife design how about an internal race stop pin design? on the fuller design I think it would look and function great with an oblong fuller (taller at the front and narrower at the rear. I always thought that type of fuller makes the most sense functionally and looks better. Love the idea of compound hollow grind. Anyway just my ramble I guess. Cheers Dave and have a great week!
@@RamboAdventures-oi1mn thank you bro😎👊. I think I will let that T 1 do its thing. Can always refinish it later if I get tired of the rust. I’m gonna keep plugging away with the collab but at this point it’s really just to get a few things figured out. It’s honestly not even close to the drawing at this point. 😎👊🤘🤘
I love them all the talks the tutorials. That’s a hard one on what to do with the z wear. I get that it’s expensive and you want them to last. I just recently got my first Zwear but it’s coated and I’ve got other blades with some rust on them but never really do anything with them other then hit them with wd40 because I’m lazy. Haha. I get the heat it’s going to be brutal hear and I’m not looking forward to spending the next couple days in the bin.
@@ScotchNThings lazy is the way I have been with this Z wear. I think it’s gonna be cool to see some patina on it. Don’t think I have ever tried to let one rust before 🤪Thanks for the content feedback.
Always learning something from you, and I appreciate it. As an alternative to heating/annealing Titanium to relieve the stress, could you take it on vacation? - that works with my wife 😂. 👊
@@satudave a thing to consider or not, on Instagram this weekend I noticed Serge had shared his 1 of kind collaboration collection and every single knife from that group had a patina done on the scales, copper inlays and blades. It brings up the expression shit, or get off the pot. And what I mean by this is if you go with polished refined and slick looking knife it will be beautiful like a jewel. And on the other token, if you have a rustic patina looking relic of a bad boy knife, it’s going to look awesome, gnarly, tough s.o.b., its owner is probably not to be trifled with. Now if you don’t commit to one theme over the other it will be stuck in the middle. A once nice looking knife that’s had some used, needs cleaned up, that one is a little rough around the edges they will all say in a negative tone. Nothing special, just another used knife. IMO I’d go full on either way, is it a jewel or a relic? Both work but don’t mix well on the same piece. Just my 2 and half cents 😉
Keep making the videos that you like. I enjoy watching your trials and tribulations through your knife making journey. How far away are you from obtaining all your machinery? I know you want an oven, but what else are you in need of? Also are you interested in taking donations or a business deal to get you going? Have a great week and see ya next Sunday
@@Doug-do7ge thanks for all your support and feedback Doug. Gotta be honest I never thought about building my shop like a business. Always wanted to keep it fun Don’t think you can ever have all the equipment you want. Heat treat oven is next big piece of equipment but immediately after that I would need a hardness tester and probably something for cyro too. It’s always a snowball my friend. Don’t really want to get too far ahead of myself. But I should try to analyze it more like a business soon. Thanks for getting me onto a slightly different mental path😎👊
Bro, not many other people are showing what you're showing on your videos. You never know who itll help in the future. Record what you enjoy! We enjoy the content regardless . Id like to learn to patina in patterns since i carry a lof of high carbon. Also...id love to learn how to do dlc coatings. Im not sure what all that entales but i think itd be a cool skill. 😎🤜🤛 , keep up the great work bro
@@apex_alchemy_knives thanks bro. Never really thought about who it could help. Appreciate the feedback. Does take way more time to make videos like last weeks compared to this one today. I’m kinda leaning towards the patina for the z wear. Never had any folder with patina. Seems like a new thing to try
@@satudave we've had some fun...leave that blade in coca cola for a few days and it'll be black as night. Mustard , vinegar...lots of cool stuff can be used. I do like the natural overtime patina better...except the "8 day coke bath " ...it's predictable at least.
I have a TFF 1 its the only Medford i like because it has a standard stop pin and the detention hole is covered. Not sure why he went to the choped down handle style with the pivot all the way forward on all his knives after that. The TFF 1 is a huge handle so maybe thats why but it fits me perfect.
@@dstone9748 thanks bro. Definitely not at that level of front flipping yet. But I am enjoying more than I had imagined. Appreciate your feedback too 😎👊🤘🤘
I am always willing to give my opinion, but I think I'm a weirdo, so I'm not sure if others will feel the same. I find the technical knife stuff really interesting. It would get old if it was the same thing all the time, like if you were HRC testing every knife in the world 🤣. You definitely progress well from one thing to the next, so it never gets boring to me. And I am fine with a little rust patina.

@@BrendanCS thanks for checking in bro. I don’t think I will ever be a front flipper guy but at least I’m able to enjoy it for what it is. Definitely a harder thing to do with bruisers because of the weight 😎👊

Holy that rust on that miller bros is disgusting bro, you need to send it to me be disposed of properly 😂 jk, All joking aside, don’t let cnc vs handmade ruin your enjoyment, at the end of the day does it really matter? The end product should all that matter, no?
@@plethoraofblades7392 yeah you fixed blade guys are all about that patina huh. Starting to realize that if I don’t like it I can refinish it anyway so might as well give it a try. So cnc vs manual is more of a justification of price in my opinion. Manual work always takes more time and is easier to make mistakes. I have done both and manual is way more enjoyable but also frustrating. But yeah at the end of all my thoughts I completely agree. The product speaks for itself 😎👊. Thanks bro🤘
