Too many robots make Case knives today. The quality has suffered greatly. Search here on youtube: "GEC Knives Factory Tour". ( Great Eastern Cutlery ) and see how an American made pocket knife is SUPPOSE to be made, and 100% hand-hafted just like they were a hundred years ago. There are over 200 steps involved, to make a typical GEC knife. Best in the world today, hands down.
You see how far the blue came up on the actual blade that's ruined, when they put the tang through the induction heater they need to prevent the heat from running up the blade and ruining the heat treat
@@w.e.s. they should but I'm pretty sure blue on the edge of a knife after temper or even after heat treat and before temper it should not be ground to hot to where there is blue coloration on and behind the edge its called burnt steel. All production companies struggle with this because its mass production and they need to get knives out quickly so instead of using water cooled grinding to grind after heat treat they use either belts with various abrasives or wheels with various abrasives which is fine pre heat treat but burns the steel at the edge a bit unless your very careful but I agree with you I don't know as much about heat treatment as them, which is why I was curious about seeing that
I agree, the blade is ruined half way up. No doubt about it that the blued areas are now softer. It may be a billion dollar company, but they sell cheap crap knives with cheap steel that's half ruined.
I believe in hand working...but I think sharpening should be done by machine .I've gotten a few expensive knives with uneven grinds . Nobody wants to pay for an expensive knife and get one with an uneven grind ..
@@Rancherinaz it took me buying 6 Case knives, all that showed up with serious problems, before I bought my first Rough Ryder. I still only have 6 Case knives but I now have 15 Rough Ryder knives. I'll be the first to say, Rough Ryder QC is about as good as Case, however, all of my RR knives have showed up sharp enough to cut with, that didn't happen with any of the Case knives and the RR knives are all under $20.
Muahaha. None of *these* knives will last long. Using the _knives_ a few times and the'll be dull. And they will be almost impossible to sharpen again, if you'd ever try to do that :-P
Why did Discovery UK do a How it's Made on an item Brits can't even own? LOL Maybe do one on a tactical folding spoon next time, at least you'd be able to buy that with ID.
@@Remmeister2000 I used to say that about your mum but I got fed up of her and started doing your auntie instead I'm basically making my way through your family but there very boring people

Heat treat doesn't come before or after the temper. Tempering is a part of the heat treatment. (heat, quench, temper)

very interesting!
Good job 👍👍👍👍👍👍

First comment‼️‼️ love this channel
How did they make knifes before knifes.
I’m guessing that a blacksmith probably made them?
And Case hasn't made a decent knife since this was recorded.
Nice video
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

@@stanervin6108 dang

After seeing this, I will NEVER EVER EVER buy another case knife!
Why?
@@rsafree1139 because they’re mass produced
Yeah Case knives are overpriced overhyped shit . RoughRiders are just as good if not better for a fraction of the money

Simon Grönlund ok simon
I've got a Case Slimline Trapper bought in 1965. Still works just fine. Used a lot.
Simon Says 😆
Paid $75 for a knife that takes 5 minutes to make!! LOL
