- This is our first official "Meat and Potatoes" video, which means that we cover a lot of information, but if you're a super nerd (like us), you're gonna love it! In this video, we cover everything you need to know about using the tools that we provide with your knife, how to clean it, and how it fits together.
And hey, if you want this information, but in bite sizes, that's gonna be up on the website within the next couple days!
Enjoy!

Very informative video! The only challenging step is definitely
step 1.....getting a Grimsmo knife.
Bonzaras ya, no joke, one of these days.. hopefully. Huge fan of the brothers Grimsmo in what they do.
Same here...
I've had my Norseman #3122 for about a week and just love it. As far as I am concerned, I have THE perfect knife to replace all others. I love the video's John, learned something new about my Norseman from this video.
Absolutely love the norseman killer drop shut action..
Hey that's my Norseman!
Just scored my first piece from you guys. Arrives this coming week and I'm just going to binge these videos until then 🤣
I just got my first norseman yesterday... #871. I cannot imagine a BETTER video coming out the day after! Y'all are amazing!!!
That Dama Norseman is SICK! 😮😮
Notice the uniqueness and kindness ...so unlike a Medford!
Brilliant, Go-To Grimsmo video John -
Thank you! Will definitely heed on my 3rd Norseman you just shipped yesterday!

How to take care of your Grimsmo knife.. dont use it for digging up dinosaurs! *kidding*
Would love to get one of those beautiful knives
I wonder if they are gonna ever sale scales by themselves? that would be pretty sick
I won the "makers choice" raffle this month. Pretty sure thats my knife!
That Damascus blade man ..... so ridiculous!!! It's a beauty for sure!!!
In the aviation industry, the idea for most screw bolts etc. that does not have a torque requirement is: Finger tight and then a quarter turn. Thats a good rule of thumb that should work in this instance.
How to stop cross-threading screws ... Turn them backwards under light pressure until you feel the thread click down, then start screw in normally.
Does taking it apart void any type of warranty, anyways its amazing how you guys worked almost every detail in your knives and share it with the owners, I doubt the entire sub count owns one, and I'm sure each wants one, I sure do, this is just quality from the first step to the last. I try to use this philosophy in my work, but unfortunately we don't get to this level, but damn I would love to try.
My next knife!
Can I buy ceramic bearings from you guys? Norseman 062 is still wearing its original SS
Please do a video on the original design intent of the knife, the blade shape etc
You should definitely test it for a longer amount of time, soak one in windex for an extended and see how it reacts over a longer period of time and see what kind of wear, damage, will occur by forcing windex on one.
Might want to change to Loctite 243...newer formulation, better in oil environments and on nonferrous metals...provide more consistent results in your application.
John I don't yet own one of your knives but when this will come in handy
What is a good way to contact you? I tried to send you an email a couple weeks ago, but I never heard back.
You don't have any old style Norseman screws kicking around do you? #383 decided to let one escape at some point today..
How far back logged are you guys on getting knives out? If i requested for one today.
Probably the wrong place to ask, but have you considered applying your expertise and perfectionist ways to making a leather man style multi tool? Personally I don’t like the iconic ‘wave’ multi tool and have opted for the cutdown ‘sidekick’ version as it is lighter and easier to carry. However it is made of inferior materials and had less options available. Maybe cost preventative but I’m sure I’m not the only one that would like to see your interpretation of this genre ....
You can get tiny packet of Permatex. Parts store and Canadian Tire usually have them on the counter in a coffee mug.

Great video John. Thanks man. Btw I have #124 and didn’t get a kool box with a wrench. Lmao 🤣 seriously though, what is the number for the wrench and is it a Torx or an Allen ? Thanks man. Keep up the good work. See ya at Blade bro. 👌😉. Still loving mine. Even though windex doesn’t bring mine back lol. It’s a wonderful knife and if I had a dollar for every time I’ve been asked to sell it, I’d have some bucks. Haha 😂

Mark in Paducah, Ky. 👍
Shane Dougherty Thank man. 👌😉
Your knives have a plastic disc holding the ceramic ball bearings and this makes a difference in the way the knife sounds. With plastic, the knife is quieter. For those makers who use stainless cages, I recommend a heavy thicker oil with one drop on each ceramic bearing to illuminate the rattle sound from a stainless bearing cage. If you put a thicker oil on ceramic bearings and the detent the knife will be smoother and quieter.
Maybe someday Santa will bring me a Norseman for Christmas.
I love your work and I love your knives. But a concave blade profile is an unnecessarily massive shag for sharpening and precludes many traditional sharpening techniques like stones. You have forgotten more about knife making than I will ever know, so perhaps Im in error.... but having the blade profile recurve seems like a massive shag for sharpening suing most traditional methods imho
Hey guys, just my opinion on the editing.
When a person is talking in the video, background music is just an unnecessary distraction.

How can I purchase one. I R mailed the company to reply.
Thanks for the info great vid but no one in the UK stocks your knives.
Andy Wils They only sell from their online shop. They don't sell to distributors. Assuming I recall correctly.
Blind Fool tried to find this company on google to no avail any further help would be great.

I would also recommend signing up to the news letter and such. Their knives go out of stock almost immediately every batch.
Someone count how many times John said critical. 😂
I enjoyed your recommended maintenance even though I do not own one of your knives. Those are beautiful knives. Do you guys have an assembly jig? Does Clara know you "borrowed" her tweezers for loctite aplication? On the slow motion fast flyover shot... please don't.That section of video stood out in a bad way. Personally a slow pan over would have been better or just leave it out. Please take this only as constructive criticism. I cant wait for the next Grimsmo video (come on IMTS 2016)!
I don't get the point of using two stoppins. What is the reason for that and what's the difference to using just one?
Probably allows them to make the arc slot smaller, which would strengthen the blade a smidge, and maybe to allow for some other design feature. Plus more pins will only make the connection between the two halves that much more rigid. Just guessing.
Video coming out on that soon!
It allows them to alter the closed and opened position of the blade seperately, so they can for example change the lockup while keeping the detent the same.
08:15 in the video he explains why
Alecs Steele's background music why
would be nice if you could buy just a new screw.
So it's like my pipe how the more I smoke the more the colors change, then I clean it and it's back to original.
I can spend $400 or $500 for a knife, but the grismo Norseman is getting ridiculously overpriced. I'll buy one if they ever get back down to $500
Rask = Grail
I'm sure I would enjoy your videos more if I only had one of your knives! I cant afford to pay 1200 for a used one
string twister well they're $950+ new, not much difference. And you can find them closer to $1000 on the secondary market if you're patient and check daily.
i chose an old video to make this comment;
I have a TIktok which I started a couple of months ago; I'm fully prepared to complete whore myself out to your brand.
I love writing utensils; cutting implements, and smart people.
Squigglesbydesign on tiktok, i also invented this goofy thing with zipties which (if you see this) will be evident upon viewing the page.

Hardly anyone even uses these safe queens.
Guillotine 🤣. How sharp does he believe his knives are?
They are pretty sharp and the blade is heavy, so it’s really easy to get a bad cut from them.
Great video, but, yea all ways a but, please stop cutting Johns head off.
No real MAN would carry a purple knife
