That’s a helluva design and the fact you took that completely apart and showed everyone how so easily and explained everything so throughly was very impressive great job 👍🏻
This knife is worth every penny and is more than just a knife! Words can’t explain but when I first handled mine & deploying and retracting it for the first time, I felt the heart, blood, sweat , tears and workmanship/care & countless hours that went into this knife design/build. The action is absolutely better than I imagined and I was already expecting it to be perfect. The switch/trigger to the action of the blade is absolutely unexplainable. So smooth and precise, smooth and clean break on the switch. Couldn’t stop smiling, it’s therapeutic fidgeting with it. A must have for any knife enthusiast! This is one bada$$ knife , keeper for life. Will open it up one day but too busy enjoying playing with it at the moment.
This would be level of engineering prowess that I would expect to see if Patek Philippe was to get into knife making. Mr. Hawk, you have raised the bar to it’s true & proper noble apex. Your name should become the gold standard in the industry against which all others are judged. And as if this achievement wasn’t a crowning one, in the true spirit of dauntless Yankee ingenuity, the subsequent generations of your superlative knives promise to defy the illusory mandate of irreducible complexity by streamlining this already elegant system even further - delivering equivalent function & improved durability with significantly fewer components. Stunning. A watershed moment in the history of the craft.
Exactly. Peerless, not even close to any competition. I heard these are $1k to 1.8k, that seems like an absolute steal in my opinion, but then again a grand seiko is also a genius mechanism and can be had for $6k. Difference is their knives are handmade
I spent probably 4 hours of my life to just watch this video! there’s so much interesting to see in this knife, i really have to start saving something of my student budget to get one! thank you for designing AND sharing the mechanisms of this awesome piece of mechanical art! kind regards from austria!
I don't think I'l ever own one but I really enjoyed the video. I love knives on many levels but, for me, foremost as mechanisms. What you and your dad do is amazing.
Craftsmanship, craftsmanship, CRAFTSMANSHIP!! I love it! Beautifully done by you and your Pops. Now I just have to save my pennies, but its worth it for something built like this.
As someone who has been following this project from the beginning and an owner of one of the prototypes. I found this unbelievably awesome! I need a second deadlock!!!
I just recently learned about you guys after years of being obsessed with OTF's. The engineering here is fascinating. You've redesigned almost every standard element of most OTF's to achieve something really cool. Can't wait to see the deadlock in John Wick C4. :)
At first it seemed like it was a complicated mechanism but it's actually a pretty simple design. I like the way you actually put an insert where the screws go for the clip, handle and button plus loc-tite it unlike other manufacturers that just stick a screw into a thin piece of metal or worse, a softer material.
23:43 Thats what I used to say. Wow im getting old... I love this video. Not many people just allow you to go in and clean it out bow a days. Hope to buy this someday! 😀
Just got one of the Batch 9 Deadlocks. As awesome of a knife as I can imagine! Gavin, you guys are geniuses! I will have to look into the stronger firing spring. Would like to try that out.
As a machinist, I have a real appreciation for things like this. Saying the mechanism is a work of art would be an insulting understatement. It is truly a thing of beauty beyond words. The first time I watched the video, my mouth hung, gaped open and I instantaneously wanted one. I have since watched this at least a half-dozen more times and still cannot get over what I'm seeing. As much as I want one, I'm concerned over issues of legality. Unless there was a configuration that offered a spring "assist" on the open action (or even just enough to release the lock), I may not be able to get one, short of moving to another state.
You can still own one. My state has some of the toughest laws on automatic knives and I own several, if you just want to collect them you wont have problems. I've had all mine shipped right to my front door with zero problems, its when you conceal carry these that things can get dicey.
Just received my batch 7 single edge, graphite with the titanium colored accents. I agree with the soft fire.Man this thing is sweet best OTF by far. Great craftsmanship.
Now that is what I call a working piece of art! Nice knife Gavin! One day I will buy one but for now I'm just waiting for them to build my Benchmade Infidel Auto Knife. My first OTF! Thanks for an outstanding product and awesome video!
This is a clever design and honestly shows how little innovation there is in the knife industry. I’ve wanted one of these since they were announced and eventually will grab one. Hopefully once you’re done with a bunch of them and you get bored, a major company will license the design off of you. Your attention to detail is really high.
Very cool engineering. I am always curious how things worked from automobiles, firearms and now to otf's. And yours sir is unmatched! Bravo to your innovation and passion to make things better 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Wow! I expected it to be the same as the desert knifeworks sandshark. I was way wrong! That's frigging awesome. I need to buy one of these now. Excelant design
This is amazing. I really want to get my hands on the Model C. Does the Model C have bearing rollers under the button like the Model A? That's a feature I didn't catch until watching this video. Sounds so smooth!
What? And have a real job! I woke up at 11 today. . .I wonder if NASA would let me do whatever I want, when ever I want? Oh, and how can you be so sure I'm not already working on a space ship?
A very cool video. Your switchblades are a very nice piece of engineering. It’s too bad they are not legal in Australia- except if you’re a cop or in the military.
You can take the blade out and change it . All you gotta do is take out the round circular thing the spring attaches to. And the blade slides right out . You just have to turn it upside down and tap it .
This man built this intricate, Ingenious knife design, solving the most irritating problem with the coolest style knife in the world... Also this man - " de-locking mechanism "🤣🤣🤣
Your girlfriend is laughing at you cause you are always losing your balls.... That was priceless 😂😂😂 The internal design of this knife is an eloquent solution of the problem, with fewer parts than expected and a simple reinforcing symmetry that absolutely brilliant! Excellent work sir, cheers. 🐉
I've never been particularly interested in this knife until I saw this video. Very cool! I'll be signing up for the next batch : ) also, great vid! Edit: just went to your site to see there's no shipping to HI : (
Love my Buck Marksman and would love to finally win a bid on a pre-owned Gen Lee. Hoping this Deadlock someday, becomes a well executed production knife to fit my budget, which like your knife has very close tolerances.
Roughly how much is the third batch gonna run. I love this knife and see the only way to get one is sign up for the next batch. I don't wanna sign up and then possibly have to back out if it's more than I expect it to be.
How come the stop pin doesnt get wedged so tight against the stop plate that operation of the button gets difficult when you go to retract the blade? It looks like the stop plate "arm" is a sort of cantilevered spring that is exerting a lot of force on the stop pin.
Sadly I'm prohibited to own such loveliness, but it doesn't stop me dreaming of such things, beautiful design and manufacture, complements to the creator
If you were to change your work mat color to more neutral color like white or tan cameras will focus better that’s why when you place things in your hands they autofocus no problem.
It would be cool to see if you could make a side open auto with a deadlock and a half serrated blade that is saltwater friendly with a large button and safety. I'm with the US Coast Guard and that could be very beneficial to us for cutting lines while holding a rescue line.
From what I understand of the design, no. The spring hook is simply/mainly there to keep tension (very little actual needed) on the blade lock. There's not really a way for the spring hook or the pin it presses on to "wear". There's no friction, very little at least.
What material are the ball locks, do you expect issues with wear, are the balls serviceable ourselves, do you sell extras so no worries about shipping back for refreshers
The material is 440c. The ball will be the last thing to wear out. I used to ship with an extra ball, but only because I thought people would loose them when cleaning. The ball has been redesigned, but is still 440c.
The small pins have minimal pressure on them. The only pressure on them is from your thumb. When pushing the button, the last .050" your pushing on the pins to unlock the knife. The ball lock is an 1/8" 440C ball, its not going to wear out ;)
A sphere is one of them strongest shapes. In this case it's a 440C ball. There's no way you would be able to destroy that ball in this knife. The frame will expand and give out before that ball is crushed or destroyed. If you think of a lever, like whats in most otfs, they can bend and be crushed. Or more likely the point at which they pivot would be the weakest link.
Gavin you know how they say think outside the box it's nice to know people like you Never Knew The Box Existed to begin with thank you for doing revolutionary things I'm a HuGe Fan DuDe!
Genius design!! I'd buy one in a second if I had the disposable income. If I start saving now I might have enough to buy one for Christmas 2018...... Yup, that sounds like a plan!!!
@@Microfiber_Muncher Nope, never did. 'Disposable' income is not something that's very plentiful these days; especially since Covid and 'Brandon' fucked everything up... FJB!!!
I do half to say that this was engaging to watch I would never be able to afford one of your knives. but the engineering is wonderful thanks it was fun.
Q? Have you ever done any "stress" tests on your designs? In other words, if you were to stab say a piece of plywood, for instance, how much force would it require to force the blade back into the handle? Similarly, how much sideways stress can the blade take before the handle breaking etc? This may sound extreme, but when you spend big cash for a well engineered (obviously) knife, it would be good to know what you are getting and the capabilities of the tool you are buying. No disrespect.
You have any proof to back that claim up with? That's a fucked up thing to do, if true. I've heard that claimed multiple times yet not a single claimant has produced without a doubt proof.
@@blwngt1598 sadly its hard to find concrete proof since this happened in the days before the internet got big and they'll sue the shit out of any blogger or professional journalist who publicizes anything related to it. But for absolutely concrete proof of another stolen design microtech started a firearms division and then promptly stole/copied the steyr AUG design. look up the 777/matrix knives and compare the two
jerry hawkins the Hawks are peerless knife makers, but it would appear their online marketing game has a few holes in it. A link to their website / store is an essential part of the boilerplate copy that should be Included without exception in the video description. Here’s the link your looking for; www.hawkknifedesigns.com/deadlock.html
So after a full day of research ive basically gathered info stating that G+G are the D/A OTF Gods of the game ...would this be a fair assessment? Or am i being mislead
WOW, brilliant design! Gotta save my pennies. Just curious why the trip plate is not anodized (assuming by the video it is aluminum…I could be wrong)? If it is aluminum something like ALUMINUM HARDCOAT ANODIZING/PTFE might be a good finish. Nice slick and ware resistant. Again, if it is SS please ignore my comments!😅 I also like that you say, “no lube”! I manufacture precision, XY stages for semiconductor inspection equipment, and everyone wants to lube it. Lube collects dust and turns into lapping compound. I’m just so impressed that this is more than a knife, it’s engineering, genius….. and man jewelry! LOL! And that’s why you’re the first and last name of OTFs. Thanks for the video!
Your wizardry knows no bounds. Nice work, Gavin. -Ben
Neat, thanks not only for sharing, but for designing it to be straightforwardly maintainable by the owner.
and not cost thousands...
@@guthrie1960 Something with this level of machining and an expected niche market is hard to not go over thousands, even when not made in USA.
That’s a helluva design and the fact you took that completely apart and showed everyone how so easily and explained everything so throughly was very impressive great job 👍🏻
This knife is worth every penny and is more than just a knife! Words can’t explain but when I first handled mine & deploying and retracting it for the first time, I felt the heart, blood, sweat , tears and workmanship/care & countless hours that went into this knife design/build. The action is absolutely better than I imagined and I was already expecting it to be perfect. The switch/trigger to the action of the blade is absolutely unexplainable. So smooth and precise, smooth and clean break on the switch. Couldn’t stop smiling, it’s therapeutic fidgeting with it. A must have for any knife enthusiast! This is one bada$$ knife , keeper for life. Will open it up one day but too busy enjoying playing with it at the moment.
Good engineering is taking a complex problem and solving it with a simple, elegant solution. I'm in awe of this design. Amazing work!
This would be level of engineering prowess that I would expect to see if Patek Philippe was to get into knife making. Mr. Hawk, you have raised the bar to it’s true & proper noble apex. Your name should become the gold standard in the industry against which all others are judged.

Exactly. Peerless, not even close to any competition.
I heard these are $1k to 1.8k, that seems like an absolute steal in my opinion, but then again a grand seiko is also a genius mechanism and can be had for $6k. Difference is their knives are handmade
I spent probably 4 hours of my life to just watch this video!

I don't think I'l ever own one but I really enjoyed the video. I love knives on many levels but, for me, foremost as mechanisms. What you and your dad do is amazing.
Your dad is going to be pissed when he finds out your disassembled his pocket watch to make a knife.
I now agree on the price of these even more. The amount of thought put into this product is amazing and inspiring.
I love watching these types of videos and this one is better than any other videos I have ever watched. Beautiful design and I’m a new fan.
What a creative mechanism. I love it.
You should come back on TH-cam. Very fascinating engineering.

Still loving my Model A over two years later!
I think this is the first time I have heard someone say to not oil the knife. Incredible engineering, it's inspiring.
Another fantastic and innovative design from the Hawk Brothers! Well done!

Its a father & son team actually
Beautiful mechanism. It looks like it doesn’t tolerate ANY dirt.

Works like a Swiss watch. Ingenious design. Well done.
It’s even more fascinating when you know the magic behind it. Thank you so much for your contribution to knife history. True masters.
Now that's a beauty :)
Classy knife. Perfect material and color combination.
Gavin, why aren't you working for NASA so we could be exploring other galaxies and meeting aliens... you are a genius.

Wow.... I have only one question. Can it be mass produced efficiently ?
Played with other POS OTF’s but this seems a game changer, cant wait to get one.
Vey nice but I wonder if the hook or the pin or the hook gets a little wear will it throw the timing off when it retracts
From what I understand of the design, no. The spring hook is simply/mainly there to keep tension (very little actual needed) on the blade lock. There's not really a way for the spring hook or the pin it presses on to "wear". There's no friction, very little at least.
You guys are mad scientist (engineers/ designers)!!!
Well, you are obviously a genius and an artist. What is it like for you to live among mortals?
Some serious genius here. I am on the list now. Dang. That’s worth some money.
Best knife ever. In every way. Fit form function and styling. Bar none!
What material are the ball locks, do you expect issues with wear, are the balls serviceable ourselves, do you sell extras so no worries about shipping back for refreshers
The material is 440c. The ball will be the last thing to wear out. I used to ship with an extra ball, but only because I thought people would loose them when cleaning. The ball has been redesigned, but is still 440c.
Good video! I just wonder how much pressure and wear will effect the small pins and the ball detent over time?
The small pins have minimal pressure on them. The only pressure on them is from your thumb. When pushing the button, the last .050" your pushing on the pins to unlock the knife. The ball lock is an 1/8" 440C ball, its not going to wear out ;)
You saying that little ball bearing is the only thing keeping the knife open when stabbing it into something? Other OTF designs seem much more robust
A sphere is one of them strongest shapes. In this case it's a 440C ball. There's no way you would be able to destroy that ball in this knife. The frame will expand and give out before that ball is crushed or destroyed. If you think of a lever, like whats in most otfs, they can bend and be crushed. Or more likely the point at which they pivot would be the weakest link.
