      ALEC - QUICK TIP! IF you are going to use the Steel foil 'Envelope' trick.... BEFORE you seal up the envelope with the blade inside, HEAT the envelope and knife up FIRST BEFORE SEALING IT UP. This drives out the 'Air'/oxygen from the 'Envelope', and then while it is STILL HOT, fold over the last seal. This is why you see those little 'Buttons' on jars of food, the jars are filled with warm/hot food contents, then sealed, the process drives out the air/oxygen and thus causing a vacuum inside...
      This will help STOP the envelop 'Puffing up' on the heat treatment/hardening cycle 👍 😎🇬🇧

    One feature of this knife you forgot to mention. The grey circle is serradet and connected to the blade. It is designed that way so you can open it with the thickest of gloves and don’t need to fiddle with the thumbnail hole on the blade to open it. Makes it easy to open one handed as well.
    I love this knife and it is my daily carry as a park ranger. Cheap, easy to find if you drop it, hooks on your beltloop with a carabiner and goes through rope in one cut.

    I found a much better way of lighting the forge, I use a ferrocerium rod to light some 0000 steel wool, then toss it in the forge before turning on the air, then turn on the gas last. The air keeps the ember in the steel wool going nice and hot, and then bringing in the gas lets the forge light up nice and gentle, with no hair loss or scary blasts. It only takes a small scrap of steel wool, and you can fish it back out easily, so nothing soots up the inside of the forge.

    Three folds per side to keep the envelope air tight as possible. I used a small roller to seal it . Or use a rubber mallet to lessen the risk of puncturing the foil.

    Dry ice turns to gas when you touch it, so it doesn’t suck much heat out of your fingers unless you get it stuck somewhere. The cooled down alcohol however will give you serious frost burns. It is sticky and thick like maple syrup, so it sticks to your skin while it freezes it to death. You should therefore be extremely carefull around it

    I'm a climber, canyoneer, and knife enthusiast and in all my time in these hobbies I haven't found a knife specifically made for climbing that has a carabineer hole and a sheepsfoot or Wharncliffe blade. I just don't see the use of a drop point. The edge is what you want so why not take away the tip, that way if a rope is tightly wrapped around someone's limb (which I have seen happen a few times) you can press the sheepsfoot tip against the skin to safely get under the rope and cut out. White water knives are made for this scenario so why not the vertical world??

    As a mountaineer, rock climber, that cut out in the knifes spine is that way, as not to deploy in case you have to scramble about, while climbing, rappelling, etc
    Rope that is under tension cuts very easily, especially with a knife.
    Having any chance of accidental opening is not a good thing.
    A knob can snag open, the likelihood of a rock opening the cutout is very slim, plus if wearing gloves it gives better purchase on the blade.
    Look at Benchmade/ Spyderco knives that are designed for search and rescue.
    Most it not all use a cutout for a reason.

    As soon as I saw him opening the box of Dry Ice my immediate thought was "Where's your PPE?" For a frame of reference about how long Dry Ice can last before it completely sublimates, once at work I left a box of dry ice out to sublimate so the box could be sent back and it took a week for it all to go away. The box was worthless by that point though because while the ice was warming up it was also cooling off the air making the water condense on the box so it was turning moldy.
    Incidentally that's why it felt like it was sucking the skin into it, it is so cold that it was literally freezing the fluids in your body, (Incidentally the freezing temperature of the human body is -17.8 C, which is 0 F, it's not arbitrary that's what 0 F was defined as. So anything below that can damage your skin if you come into bear contact with it.)

    If I had to guess the large whole and smaller handle are to lower the weight of the overall blade because often in climbing people are trying to minimize the weight they are clipping to themselves

    Have just realized: every time Alec asks someone behind camera, it goes like: Jamie, can you... Joe Rogan in his podcasts does the same thing :D

    Alec not grasping the concept of dry ice is hilarious. "Otherwise it's gonna melt" lol

    Having experience with dry ice, I sat here going, "Don't do it, don't do it, don't...of course he did it."

    Make a Damascus steel tapping wrench, to add to your Damascus steel tool collection 😁😁

    I might have misunderstood you but as I see it you are planning to connect the small lever to the bottom of the knife as well as the pivot point/ hinge, I cant really see this surviving more than the first couple of openings (especially if you want it to fold against the arch). if you want to make the lock part of the frame and use the steel springiness instead of an actual spring (and that a good idea considering that this will likely be dirty when you want to use it) maybe try left to right movement of the lock instead of up and down?

    Can you make a knife out of coins? Id love to see what patterns you get. Maybe do it out of multiple different countries coins all together for a coller pattern?

    Don't you have two very nice Paragon Ovens that would be just smashing at this? Come home Alec, we still have snow on the Beartooths.

    Dry ice feels like it burns you because it does lmao
    It's solid carbon dioxide, my guy! The stuff sublimates at -57C (70F).

    Yeah.... As others have said, dry ice can burn very quickly. Like, immediate frostbite.
    It's suggested to only ever handle it with gloves... 😂

    My dad used to bring dry ice home from his lab and drop it in our bath when I was a kid. It bubbled amazingly and made a great layer of 'fog' in the bath (CO2 fog actually; probably not very safe in retrospect). It really hurt when it stuck to your skin, though...

    I have a paratrooper knife that has a rope blade in it. Pretty handy. Though it does not do big rope so a more of a v U shape would work.

    I have an idea for some things to make. I think it would be cool for you to make a pair of forceps and maybe some other surgical tools.
