Can you do a review on Cutco knives? I was hired and trained to sell their knives, but after a bit of research, I found out that the company has a very sketchy history, and now I'm on the fence on whether I should stay with Cutco. I'm actually job hunting as I'm typing this comment.
Hey kyle!!! Love the craftsmanship, would love to see ya do another run of chefs knives, I don't camp but I cook and would love to purchase your work. Cheers from Southern California!
Kyle, this video just brought back a ton of memories from my childhood. I grew up about 2 to 3 hours south of Bonner. All the old cowboys and woodsmen had the kind of knife you were working on. They loved these knives for the rugged look and the over all durability. That being said, you did an outstanding job on that knife. I have always wanted to see what one would look like all polished up, and you sir made it look absolutely stunning!
The before and after on this piece is totally awesome Kyle. That blade was seriously rough condition…. Look at er now. Love the videos Kyle and lovely work!!
Yeah it was amazing workmanship. I personally like the old blades when they have patina, and well look old, but its personal preference thing. The client wanted mirror polish, and Kyle definetly delivered just beautiful job
Great video man I love the restorations! I love grilled corn are used to cook mine just like that until my grandmother suggested another way. Leave the husk on the corn soak it in water for a couple hours before grilling then grill it slow and it will steam and you still get the smoky flavor. Then you can remove the husk and char it if you like that. Great video man keep up the good work
I feel honoured Kyle that I started following you long ago when 100000 subscribers was only a dream. I just have that instinct to pick out something , someone who is a cut above.. You are the man , and pleased to be in your company going forward.. What a restoration effect.. I had to set my cell phone down and put on my sunglasses 😎 It was blinding me..LOL Did I miss utubes plaque that they sent to you.. You should have it displayed on the wall as a reminder.. Your Bakeapple cuts a mean chunk out of my prime ribs….To be continued..
That's so kind, Mr. Peck. It's great to hear from you. You didn't miss the plaque. I didn't show it on camera. The video I did announcing the 100k milestone did very poorly, indicating that people just don't give a hoot (haha).. so I decided against another video speaking on the topic. It's sitting here nice a pretty on my shelf though. Very exciting. Enjoy those ribs!
Beautiful mirror polish on that fixed blade. Kyle, with all respect - I love the blade shape on the O-Knife. It's reminiscent of a trailing point Persian style, yet still a clip point. I've never been a fan of thumb holes in the blade (not a Spyderco guy), but I'd make an exception for this one. Great video, man!
That was a alot of work on the knife you worked on !! The O-Knife was really nice too . Im with you on the clip point and where the jimping is .I hope you and your family are doing well !! Great video as always Kyle! Take care and stay safe my friend!
Yeah if this knife would not have had clip point i would have seriously liked it. I personally like more of drop point, and when the tip of the knife is more or less centered with the handle. Those are just personal preference things, and maybe o knife have already different designs or in future as well.
Ruana knives are my personal favorite made in the great state of Montana. My old man had one gifted to him back in the 80s and I have never seen another knife that comes even close to the quality of Ruana. They are extremely valuable especially the old ones made from Studebaker leaf springs.
For collectors of R.H. Ruana knives, leaving a knife such as this one in its original as-found condition, with its original factory grind marks, and many years of worn finish is the best way to retain the absolute most value in the knife. This restoration is impressive, and the knife is more beautiful now (in some people's eyes) but unfortunately it has now lost value to many collectors. Just something to keep in mind. Also, some people see the beauty in a knife that retains its original finish, wear marks, scratches, etc as it tells a story of history and how it was used over its lifetime as a useful tool. They are only original once!
Yeah i personally love the vintage knife patina as long its not actual rust. Kyle also just did what the client wants, and im sure the client will be extremely happy. I have never before heard this company, and the knife looks really cool. Over here i dont find lot of old american knives from flea markets, and so on, but definetly will pick one up if im lucky enough to come across one.
It’s pretty obvious though that this customer doesn’t want to throw this in a drawer or hang it on a wall somewhere like most collectors. This knife will actually probably be used for its intended purpose.
Kyle, I will be right over for dinner !! 😆 That bbq looked awesome 👌 That finished knife was absolutely gorgeous. Such patience shown and attention to detail, Wow. Like I said before, next level workmanship. Awesome brother ! Blessings to you and yours 🙏
I know Rudy Ruana was a legend and pioneer of of custom knife making, and had his own unique style that nobody else does!! That being said Ive never been impressed with RH Ruana fit and finish, the modern ones have a bit better fit and finish now adays, but nothing like what you did!! This is the full potential of the design and boy is it a beauty!!!! Nice work Kyle!!!
Thanks for the input buddy! Very cool to hear more about them. I'll agree in saying the fit and finish on this knife isn't perfect, but a beautiful knife still. Very cool piece
@@kyle_noseworthy Yes Rudy's process involves casting molten aluminum on the tang for the handle in case you didnt know, dont think any other maker does this! I think Cooper knives have cast guards though. Very cool part of custom knife making history!
Rudy Ruana was the first full time knife maker from Bonner Montana. Super collectable! You can send the knife to the Ruana shop and have it recondition and authenticated. Ruanas are my favorite collectable hand made knife!
Hey Kyle, very random question. Which lapping stones do you use for shapton glass stones? I bought a 220 Grit yesterday and have done 3 knives now, i already see quite a dishing, noticed it too late. Do you have a list of your current favourite stones and lapping stones? :)
How long does the corn take on the grill? I have been craving some and have never tried grilling it. That customer should be very happy. You did an amazing job on that knife.
When you cut down into that sausage and the edge hit the grill rack every fiber of my being was screeching bloody murder it’s like hearing nails drag across a chalk board to seeing age hit metal or ceramic like that lol 😂
Being a Maritimer I feel the need to caution you Atlantic Province folks... about how you handle your knife! I noticed when you opened the packaging you cut toward yourself (danger/danger). My grandfather cautioned me when he gave me my first pocket knife - to always cut toward your friends. That way you will never cut yourself. Good advice I say. As some others have mentioned I also love BBQ corn as well but gave up grilling it without the husk. Soaking it for an hour or so, pull the tassels off and load up with butter salt, and pepper then grill with the husk on, no worry about scorching the corn, the husk takes all the damage -- heaven. Great video. Checked out the EDC and they have a sale starting in 3 days from this date.
Hmm, perhaps I'll try that buddy! Sounds great. As for cutting the packaging, I'll continue with my habits. haha I would prefer it, being a person who regularly has little toddlers buzzing around me.
@@kyle_noseworthy ✅✅You'll not be disappointed with BBQ'ing corn in the husk. Just remember to soak well and pull the tassels off first - less mess on the BBQ.
Dunno if I was paying for restoration that lil bit of corrosion/muck where the handle meets the blade would bother me. But that aside you always do great work. Thanks for the video
The O-Knives are great, and manufactured by Kizer so the quality and action is great. The Jimping is meant as a front flipper and not as traditional jimping
As always a great video. I enjoyed it. Love the knives and chickens. I don't think I've ever seen chickens that big. What did you say the name of that hunting knife was. ( My hearing is not the best. I can't make out what you said ). I always look forward to your videos. Stay well & safe.
It is always amusing to me what kinds of knives are legal in Canada. Most, if not all, knives you showed in your video are, in one way or the other, illegal to carry here in Germany.
Hopefully they don’t come after your knives like they did your guns in Canada Kyle. How do the laws relate to the rifles you’ve shown in recent videos?
Hey Buddy , great video love the knives , but I still Like your knives better . Another way of cooking the corn , is to leave on the husk of the corn and soak them in a sink of water for an hour or so then cook over fire or BBQ . Like you said it makes nice sweet tasting corn steamed in its own juices. The husk will take any charring , and when you peel back the husk it makes a nice handle to hold your corn with while it is hot . Great Food .
I have an old WWII pilots knife. How can I get you to work it over for me? It is pretty much all there, but the leather stacked handle is pretty much dried up and way loose. I am subscribed to your channel and I have been watching for a while now and based on what I have seen I think you would be more than capable of bringing this old timer back.
that extra stuff in the pouch must be extra screws since they do losen and fall out, unlike pins that are there for the duration. no offense intended but pins are better lock backs are better than liner locks and those pocket clips? how's the back of your hand feel when you have to dig past that in your pocket for change for the toll booth or something else?
Yessir. Actually, I have a little problem here. They started molting many months ago, but now they won't leave each other alone! They're trying to grow back, but they are constantly picking the fresh down out of each others behind. Not sure why, or how to correct it!
@@larrystephens7437 Could parasites explain it? Internal or external parasites? The coup is very clean, and I have never seen evidence of anything around. Although, their egg production is pretty low for their age. hmm.
@@kyle_noseworthy I treat mine for internal parasites once a year during their molt time. If I see signs of runny poop I will treat them as needed. Mites can be a real bitch to treat..
@@kyle_noseworthy Egg production will drop off during summer. At least mine do... Different breeds of chickens produce different. My Sussex chickens produced well in spring and fair summer and winter. American Dominique cranked out year around. Americanas stopped totally in winter. I treat for internal parasites regularly because they are chickens and just assume they have them...LOL...
Great restoration. It is truly a beautiful knife. I won't buy China products and I know the Olight flashlights are manufactured in China. What about the knife? I like it the way it looks and would be interested in buying it but if it is a product of China, I will pass.
Those were made by the Olld man. They were butt ugly when new, but, oh, Brother, did they work. There was no "model", each one was a work of art. He used to bring them in to Great Falls when he'd get a batch made up, and sell 'em at Skaggs Drug Store up on 10th Ave. So. when I was stationed there in the 70's at Malmstrom AFB. I'd heard he forged them from truck springs, and preferred Studebaker. When the Old Man passed, there was a definite lapse, and a distinct difference in the blades the Sons made and sold. Hope you didn't over restore a valuable old original Ruana!
This is the only video of yours that disappointed me. But then again, I don't really know what I'm talking about and it is probably impossible to keep all those angles on the knife while making it a mirror finish.
I disagree with you on the packaging. It uses a lot of unneccesary plastics which is not recyclable. The plastic wrap, the plastified cardboard and the plastic packaging inside the sleeve are unrecyclable) It would be better to go all cardboard on things that are single-use (IE: The sleeve is fine since it's not intended as a single-use item.
You obviously do not know what the hell you are talking about!!! The two men never met at least not to their own recollection. I know Mike Randall who is Bo's grandson also the Randall shop forman Scott Maynard. Nowhere in Randall history is Mr Rudy Ruana mentioned. Could you possibly be thinking of Bill Scagel? Bo based his early work on what Mr Scagel had done. Also remember that Scagel barely talked to Randall when they met. The Randall family has the largest collection of Scagel knives, I've seen it at the Randall museum.
I was finding alot of interest in your videos... but this made me stop at 35 seconds... Knowing of previous O-Light shennigans and buying reviews, I can no longer watch this video or any others. Good luck to you.

Just came across your channel today, watch a bunch of restorations. Dam man, your work in this vid, spectacular. Beautiful work.
I just keep coming back to KN to see what's next.
Good stuff.. Thx Kyle.
That was very impressive! Those surface conditioning belts are real life savers, especially for hollow grinds
Nice folder. Beautiful restoration on that Ruana and Awesome multitasking.

Rudy Ruana was well- known. I remember reading articles about him in the 80s. Many, many people have heard of him.

That Knife has earned its patina. It showed its history 😢😢
Gorgeous knife once you finished with it.
Thanks Ron!

Some how I knew u were gonna say that about the knife.
Huh... I'm trying to understand how...
I love the look and shape of the folder.
I love knives. i carried cold steal ti-lite for awhile but the clips kept breaking.... im hoping for a mirror finish fairbairn sykes some day.
Get a Randall you'll be happier.
