Was just going to comment on that. Picking up the jewelers saw at the start of that cut....that channel must have seemed like the Grand Canyon. Doing the whole thing without a mill....just remarkable. Lad has skills. Michelangelo with an angle grinder.
@@MrParker_1 Yeah, at first I was surprised he didn't use an endmill there, but then I realized his mill might not have motorized CNC axes. I can't imagine how long that took.
Nice design! Can imagine a spring loaded ball-bearing with a indention closed and fully open would give a nice tactile feedback if implemented. Not that I would have the knowledge to achieve it my self but a master craftsman as you could probably pull it off... ;)
As nice as this design is, it would want it to have a locking mechanism. Even a minimal indent catch at the base of the knife would make the blade more sturdy in the hand.
I can see this as well. One for opened and closed. It would help with safety. Could likely put one or two at the base of the handle that activates by pressure of the thumb for opening and closing, it can be housed behind the brass cuff held down by pins, and blocked by the framing. Another way, and initially crossed my mind is around the swivel assembly. Small, but strong spring and stainless steel pin that resides and works copacetically with the slide. Pinning to the frame only enough to hold it in place without completely locking it. The pin concept could also be used with the first model. Strong magnets are a potential, however, magnets can lose their energy through time, and sometimes are not good for certain areas or work. In other cases, magnets are also great for survival situations. Adding more brain tools in everything carried.
The way you make each different folding knife open is always a surprise. I try to figure it out before you put them together, but it's rare that I do! Another fine piece good sir!
Absolutely love all of your designs. I find your videos a freshing rechange from constantly seeing these huge knives that I would never personally carry. Keep up the good work 👍
Really excellent videography! You've stepped up your game Koss! Well done grinding on such a stubby and the idea of a semi lock with the pin when open is ingenious! Thanks for all you bring!
Isn‘t there a problem with the knife being able to be pushed back when using it? (Instead of cutting through smth.) Because the hinge only stops it Form going forward if I’m not mistaken
I was looking and trying to make it work in my head and it seams you are right it would go back if you tried to cut something so that's why he isn't counting anything

Man I would love to be able to get a custom hand made knife or something from the knife makers mind like this! Customs are so high I don’t know if I’d ever be able to get one. I love the craftsmanship in your knives though they are professional in my opinion for sure
would it not be quicker to putthe straight edge of your pattern on the straight edge of the blank? as a fabricator of almost 25 years I've never not used a straight edge of sheetmetal whenever I can
@@azad4759 Choose new, high quality steel and follow the manufacturer's guidelines for heat treatment. The choice of blade shape is important. Even heat treatment and quenching up and down reduce warping. To an extent some is inevitable though. If warping is minor it may be possible to correct by clamping between large flat metal slabs during tempering. I hope that this helps. 👍
simply fantastic work, a truly great custom knife. i do have two suggestions though for any future iterations of similar knives, though keep in mind these are coming from a guy who doesn't make knives but does use them for multiple hours a day while at work and has been at the sharp end of a broken knife more times than id care to admit. 1) the scales of the knife are fantastic, clean and simple, and no doubt strong, but that super clean finish would seem to make the knife hard to open and close with one hand, some simple texturing on one or both scales would do wonders for being able to manipulate the action of the knife. something as simple as a divot for a finger to rest in as you rotate the blade in or out. 2) there's no lock on this knife, which worries me slightly. as is, when open it appears the blade can be nearly closed on the fingers if pressure is put on the backside of the blade, now that shouldn't be an issue with a firm grip but the one instance where i see that being a problem is in a slip. of there were a simple cam or slide lock at the base of the knife to really hold the scales together and prevent them from splaying apart in the hand then that would improve on the safety of the knife. those aside, great job. its content like this that really makes me want to get into metalworking of any kind.
Regarding (2): It actually can't be closed without flipping the front scale all the way around, as the pin from the front scale acts as a stop. I have a hard time believing that this design could be safely operated one-handed even with texture, though, because you'd have a hard time holding the non-moving scale.
I love the concept and overall look of this knife.. it would have been nicer though to have had the same key way and stud locking mechanism on that rotating handle..
amazing work. ignore those clowns downvoting, they are most likely downvote bots from a jealous rival channel.. sure this isnt exactly blacksmithing but still amazing work. atleast you never claim to be a blacksmith like some of these guys who angle grind most of their knives.
Where can I find a template for this knife?

@@Koss-channel Thanks!
@@winterprizon4798 you couldn't figure this out yourself??
@@THESLlCK the fuck is your problem??
@@THESLlCK I'm glad he asked actually.
Incredible! every single step looks so easy, but I can't imagine how it is really hard to create and then to produce it. Bravo!
thank you =)
@@Koss-channel When will you make an OTF knife
Easy? Cutting that channel with a jewelers saw would have been the biggest test of my patience...

The fact that you do this without super expensive precision machinery is inspiring. Thank you

Was thinking the same thing. A detent on the back-right corner and some knurling on the surface.

Wow. Craftsmanship, ingenuity, artistry=excellence. Thank you.
That recessed pin placement was perfect
Absolutely love all of your designs. I find your videos a freshing rechange from constantly seeing these huge knives that I would never personally carry. Keep up the good work 👍
Yes, I feel the same. Clean simple minimalist design that let's the movement of the knife speak
The fit and finish of the pieces that you make are unbelievably precise and tight!
Respect for hand cutting lock groove!
Really excellent videography! You've stepped up your game Koss! Well done grinding on such a stubby and the idea of a semi lock with the pin when open is ingenious! Thanks for all you bring!
One of those posts where I find myself watching every little detail. Nice work.
Looks as if it's probably one of the safest knives to open and close I've seen.
Masterful, one of the most original knife makers I've seen.
You are so talented. I could watch these all day
Cool design. Definitely something I would add to my collection.
Шедевр !
He makes sanding look so easy
Awesome build, and great video, very professional as always. Always looking forward to more of your videos, keep them coming;)
И задумка и исполнение, как всегда на высоте!
Awesome video to watch at 2AM!
Very Kool knife. Great job in building it...quality workmanship.
WOW, THAT'S QUALITY!!!
This is one of my Favorite Designs of yours!! Well Done!!
This is a sweet design, definitely a great knife for anything.
Шикарная работа! 👍

Satisfying as heck!!!!!!
Whoa, someday I'll make such sharp objects :)👍
Really nice fret sawing. 🙏❤️🙏
That’s some fine craftsmanship right there. Great work brother.
This knife has such a simple yet beautiful look to it . it looks like it would fit perfectly in one's pocket . Very nice 👍
Is that a small and chunky ballisong? I love it!
I applaud you sir! You have real skills
Beautiful, functional art.

Well done, it's very nice, why does the blade become crooked or cracked when doing heat treatment?
The extreme difference in temperature changes during heat treatment cause it to warp.
@@cloud_tsukamo So how do we prevent bending?

cool knife
Как всегда, превосходная работа!👍
Very cool! Well done!
Very nice, curious about the blade (?) in the coping saw you used. Couldn't quite tell what it was, a diamond embedded wire or something else?
Great work! Amazing!😁👍🛠️⚒️
really good work. but my one question is doesnt the blade come out on its own if droped or sumthing?
Magnifique ; )
Bravo champion👍
Can we have the drawings to try and make one. Incredible work!!!
(in portuguese) Obrigado por compartilhar! Saudações do Brasil!
Bloody hell, this little thing is cool - maybe you should concider putting it in production. Anyway, very very nice knife!!
Impressive 👍
Excellent... Good Job...I want one please 😜

thats cool i love it
It's a brilliant design but it need a back spacer/barrier to protect the fingers from the blade's edge when in the closed position
Very nice!
Just curious, wouldn't nylon washers be smoother for this application as they are self lubricating?
man itss really awesome
