Found another recommendation from you, 17dps on the magnacut, with that strong edge will watch your sharpening videos and find the zone, they are mostly all different, and like you said make sure they are same in each blade angles... have a great ling week end !!! PS: your video on ask was dead on, some owners do what they want and don't seem to do what people need, like scissors, etc... I have a few victorinox and was looking forward to this ASK Knife but will wait for more accessories needed for my use... Thanks! ❤🎉😊

I was fortunate to discover Survive Knives very late in the game. I saw all of the dissatisfaction from so many people and decided to go the EBay route. About a week ago I ordered a beautiful GSO-5.1 and received it in the mail in only three days. I’m sure I paid a little over the original price but for me it was well worth the price, I love this thing! I feel so bad for all of the people who never got the knives they paid good money for just to have some idiotic clown rip them off.

@TheScrawnyLumberjack 3” blade length is more my speed. Thank you for letting me know. I’m impressed with the steal options and customization you offer. Would you consider a splinter without scales? Something I could wrap with paracord? Perhaps at a different price point? Just curious, not trying to be cheap! I looked over your website last night and I’m really impressed with what I see. I did find a minor typo (I hate that I’m pointing it out and I’m sorry) on the splinter page the part that says “(defult)” God speed Kyle. For only being in production for a few years (2022?)… you are going to be very successful! The level of professionalism is chefs kiss my dude.

that dmt 325 grit edge is my favorite all around working edge. i do mine with microbevels though. simple, fast to sharpen and to touch up. agressive, just a great edge. if you have a knife with a big ol honkin choil like that one, and you find yourself getting hung up usually in cloth, tarps, sheet plastic and small ropes like baling twine then you can always sharpen the inside of the choil, and that will help.

His main problem was that he was trying to make knives to an unobtainable level of perfection with the kind of operation he had. The other was dreaming up new designs and trying to put those into production when the original designs were never getting made, finished, & shipped out.
