I loved this, Ben is an absolute gem of a human. These vids your putting out with more of your personality getting to shine through is a welcome change of pace, Keep it up Neeves your the man!
Awesome video! Watched both of the bladehq videos and maybe my favorite channel now, using a delica 4 thin red line. soon as I can I'm going to try and sharpen it with one of your tutorials
Ben is always open for any discussion to make himself and his company do better and understand his user base. Neeves is a good guy givig constructive criticism. Neeve knows his sharpening and his knives. Definitely a force to listen to. Love Ben. Love knafs. Love neeves. 🔥❤️🍻
Looks like you had a great time nerding out on knives with Ben. Definatly a fun trip your on. Thanks for the great vid and keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable
I’ve actually taken 2 of my Malibus and deepened the plunge grind with a dremel. It’s quite easy, just important to go slow so don’t end up hitting the handle or somewhere you don’t want to. Takes the knife to another level especially as a professional sharpener makes not as worried to take down to like 15- 17 degree angles. Also as neeves said before make sure u know where the stop pin hits for closing first.
@@jerrykotrokois3050 no problem. I've handled it in the storefront and it was bigger than I expected but it was still surprisingly good in pocket. And it's fidgety if that matters.
I don’t know it has been addressed on the newer yippers. With mine, pulling back the crossbar lock and flipping it closed, will cause the knife blade to go down so far into the handle that it hits the back spacer and puts dents into the blade edge. My solution was to remove the backspace where it was hitting, but not after I damaged the blade pretty good.
A relative newbs observation. Yeah, no sharpening choil makes for a smile at the plunge grind and maybe on a $1k knife that would wound me dearly. On a $100 knife, I do not care. A large sharpening choil which I see more and more of these days makes a knife a pita to slice up cardboard. Tradeoffs I suppose.
@@DeerUNIT42 it's still a plunge grind, it's just a very sharp transition from one thickness to another. The 'plunge' is the name given to the transition area of thicknesses. Are you thinking of a 'sharpening choil', a notch at the heel of the edge?
The blade stock is flat, the bevel is.. a bevel. So its impossible not to have a plunge grind. Unless you bevel it the entire length I guess with no flat area.
Two of my favorite knife guys! Jerad and Ben, the collab I've always wanted!

2 bathrooms, baller status 🙌🏽
Absolutely BIG BALLER STATUS
A great interview/get-together from both Ben and Neeves. Thanks Guyz. Why do I want ice cream all of the sudden? ....
Ben is a nice man Jerad always good to hear him talking knives.

Ben seems like a cool dude👍
@@OUTDOORS55 he's a great guy for sure
That boujee banter is by far my favorite so far!

@@Alexander210 👊 🙏
Huge fan of both of these guys so this was great! Jared, you're so high energy and that is a HUGE plus, but let the other person talk, bro!

Exactly
Wow what a whirlwind of a trip you have me thinking what other companies you’ve talked to while on your trip!??
@henryg683 we almost got with Zach but we're gonna set that up for a later date
Ben needs an xl knife. I would love to support him but they too small for my hands. Just one please!!
Big banter.... It's pretty big
@ I don’t know why I didn’t see it. Duh. Thanks though. Will check it out.

Those mountains are beautiful 🔥
Just a ball of energy!
Messing up the plunge grind IS a deal breaker for millions of real knife guys
Yay more baby banters for me to get. I may have more Baby banters than other knives by the time they stop making them :D

It has been fixed in the new models being sold now, I just picked up a new yipper and its amazing no more hitting your blade!
BANG!
Damn jared y'all went to Utah and just whored around from blade hq to knafs love it
Awesome that you guys are hanging out together and sharing good info.
I hope you enjoyed Utah.Peace!
These men speak truth about the cost of blade making equipment! Minimum.$6000 with proper abrasives and steel/ handle stock
Adhesives and corby.bolts

Another great video
I'd like to visit from out of state, but how's the inventory...fully stocked?
Make plunge grinds great again😊
How come the price difference between a Ben knife and a Jerod knife one is affordable one is a bad financial decision
Plunge but also, make sure the stop pin is outta the way!!!
Langit I shoulda mentioned that I will take note and reach out
Spyderco literally has no plunge grinds, like they are ground to the flat of the blade stock, no?
There's a 90° transition from full stock thickness to the full flat grind. Very crispy on Shamans, Millies, PM2s, P3s etc.
@harleynarwhal so that's not having a plunge grind, right?

They most certainly have an obvious plunge grind…they however lack a sharpening choil. By design according to Spyderco
You gonna come home with some new Utah words like…darn, heck, and crap?
Utahns get damaged by naughty mouth sounds.
