Imo this is not a multi tool, i have a multi tool for that purpose. My keybar is for my keys and maybe one or two things i would like to have with my keys. In the key organization space there is nothing better, there are a few that are similar but don't come close. I have 5 keys and i recently added a blade to mine after over four years of having one. I have the same deep carry clip and it fits tight and snug, its a replacement from the 1.0v that came with my Ti keybar it snapped about 3yrs into ownership. A quick email and i was sent a replacement. More than worth it imo, maybe reach out to them with your concerns.
@@area51.52 the Snook looks really good! I would love to have one of those as well. I am working on getting more content up. I have yet to work the 80crv2 steel from VGKC hard enough to find the limits. And it sharpens up so crazy sharp. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. I greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for the video. On a serious tip I'm not much of a drunker yet ive amassed a substantial liquor collection. I was thinking I'd need to go at this with a blade or knife. Again thx for the help.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone try to patina a stainless steel, it definitely puts me off ABEL steel considering you were a little successful. I’d prefer a stainless steel to do a little better than that, may as well stick with the A2 steel.
Bonjour les marque blanche sur le mur c'est la chaux des béton qui ce disous et ce cristalise sur les granulat extérieur . ont beaucoup ce phénomène sur les bunker en Normandie.
WOW Very Cool, Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to share that. I wondered as it looked like it was almost corrosion breakdown. Thank you again. You are a Rock Star.
They look like bridges. The textures look like mold. or a seal of some kind. I saw the whole video. I hate long videos like an hour long ones. Livestreams I hate as well.
I greatly appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. I am trying to find a good balance of vedo time. RU-vid wants the videos to be either shorts or over 10 min. I find when I re watch my longer videos I start getting board. LOL I do like the short under 10 min videos. Thank you again for your support it is so greatly appreciated.
Both VGKC and White River Make some great knives. The Rambler is really a solid blade that has a good balance of strength, but not to heave, As well as enough blade to do most handy tasks and a large enough handle to keep everything secure and under control. Yet not to heavy or large to get in my way. It may not be the sexiest but it sure is ready to go to work. thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. It is so greatly appreciated.
No that is the VGKC Mantis. I have been carrying this for a couple of months now as a pocket dropper. I great little EDC work knife. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment.
Yes There are a few. One it high lift blades pull a vacuum causing the grass to stand taller for a more even cut. Another thing is it discharges larger clippings and can throw the dry ones farther. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.
I have a new gen with the clip point in black/black FRN that I got from Hogue in May 2023 I can squeeze my handles together - but don’t really mind it. I just wish it was grippier and a bit more stout - I’m about to experiment with JB Welding the gaps on the back of the scales to add rigidity and throw some weight on there. AWT scales are in my future.
I am interested in your JB weld results. I took a point of a knife and created a texture that is ok ish. It doesn't look amazing or cool but it works. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. I greatly appreciate it.
@@patrickmunneke8348 I will definitely have to use it more than just this to find limits. I thought for sure with a 17 deg edge I would have seen something. Lol good deal though. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. I greatly appreciate it.
@@VeryGoodKnifeCompany hmmm that stinks when I check my dashboard it says I am in good standings with no strikes. I do wish I would get more views and comments. I was surprised how sharp I was able to get it. Seriously hair popping. I never really beat my knives so I just touch up the edge every once in a while. What are the benefits of nitro other than stainless. I did see you beat the crap out of that one.
Ya I am super surprised how sharp it got. Being a spray form of D2 I want to see if it gets chippy with a narrow angle. This is at 17 deg each side. Now I just need to use it more lol.
Wouldn't the White River Sendero Pack fall into this same category? You kept saying you were going to do an in-depth video on it but I haven't seen that yet.
@@Rossski yes I do need to put that together. I just want to make sure I do it justice. As a survival EDC the reason I didn't mention it is that it is a bit thinner. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment. I greatly appreciate it.
It depends on the steel. Some are more resistant than others. This could have gone a bit longer. But I think overnight would have pitted. Thank you for watching and talking the time to comment
I just got a knife from VGKC on your recommendation. I recorded and unboxing and first impressions video yesterday and I tagged you in the video. It's coming out Friday! I hope it's all right that I tagged you. It's the video of your farm knife story.
@@sharpends4279 that is awesome. I just seen your short on the traditional Jr. I really want to get one of those. Need more ad sense funds first lol. It is perfectly fine to tag me. I believe that small channels have to promote each other to be able to try and grow. Especially with these established channels that get 25k views the first day. Some day we will be there. Lol I can't wait to see your video on the vgkc
Its all the same. Olsa makes both those in the same factory including the quinn. They look the same cause they are the same just with different engravings. The more you know bud.
Ya it is so hard to keep up on all these places. I wish they had to keep things more open. Just like amazon does not have a Made in the USA filter. I hope more in the know will happen. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. it is appreciated.
Man I hope I am good enough and am able to sell prints from a Gallery some day. That would be really cool. I have been photographing for almost 20 years consistently and never noticed. Now going back through photos and flags in a lot. LOL Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment.
@@fuelediowa Google galleries near me. Or galleries in your home town. Or galleries in your state. Then approach them with a portfolio. Don't call ahead. Just walk in. Be professional and social.
Another thing you can do. Is do an art show. You spend more money. But you meet a lot of people. They get to see your work. Price everything set up a booth expect to pay about 100 to 200 bucks to rent an area. Invest money in prints of your work. Fill your booth with prints. Charge about 20 dollars a print alone. 40 bucks if it's mounted. 80 bucks if your print is mounted and framed. Bring 100 business cards. Also thats not even the cost of the tent, table, and frame holders.
Great looking knife. I like what he stands for making knives for the working man at a good price. I havent picked one up yet but i am planning on it. Have an amazing 4th
Ya I really like finding small dedicated businesses and being able to support them. I have no problem giving VGKC knives to my kiddos to last a lifetime.
Lol me as well. I have used Capture One for years. And never had time to learn any graphic design like PS I just gotta try and get it right in the camera. Lol
@@fuelediowa This is after being in the shower and thinking about the image. I think the subject matter should be the barn. Because a lot is going on with the barn. From your photo, I cannot tell if you are taking a picture of the barn. I thought it was a house with a broken tree next to it. The only reason why I know it is a barn is because you said it was a barn with equipment next to it. It is an old barn and it is rustic. With old equipment next to it. And that the trees are damaged as well. Just adds to the idea of the barn's story. The winding road right now is the subject matter. I do feel that a foreground is wise. Also, the foreground should be the plants. Just that the winding road is a S curve. Just like the Banksy painting, Girl with a Balloon. We use the S curve to accent the subject matter. It is a great way to lead the viewer's eye to the foreground from the mid-ground. You could do what Banksy did with the S curve. You could use the winding road and the barn. The same way that Banksy uses the string leading to the red balloon. The Asymmetry of the tree line is on the right side of the photo. The farm field is on the left. Relations with each other are the real seller. Which you captured perfectly. I implore you. Sir, please retake the photo with that idea in mind.
When I worked in the QC department testing blades the engineers brought in some to be tested for Europe for noise standards, some were perfectly flat, what I didn't know was that the flat blades were almost totally quite
Having worked in the Quality department of a once major Lawn Mower MFG and testing our blades that was made by vendor Fisher-Barton this is a good clip
@@fuelediowa "Thanks for watchin, leave your feedback give me give me some comments let me know what you think. I'd greatly appreciate it hope to see you around here soon and hear morefrom you guys thanks." BOOM CORNY! really tho, really? Nope.
Anytime my friend! I can't wait to check out a traditional Jr. Quick question would you mind sharing some details on 80crv2 and the nitro you use obviously the stainless but the pros and cons
I had the X-T3 the same amount of time as my X-T5. The X-T3 was in much worse shape from wear and I had to get rid of it due to a defective shutter release. The X-T3 forced me to turn off the camera constantly to save battery. The silver paint on my X-T3 was not as durable as on my X-T5. It came off the corners of the upper trapezoid after the first 3 months.
I have heard the silver was not as robust as the black. I have only had the black bodies. I have also heard more than once about a shutter button issue on the X-T3 but have been lucky I guess. Thank you for taking the time to watch and share your experience. It is greatly appreciated.
Really that is interesting. I very seldom ever use the before and after. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. It really does help this channel and my family.
I have very good luck with my Fuji gear. I never had the x-t4. What all do you like to photograph? My 3 and 5 I have drug with me everywhere I go. Very seldom do I not have my camera with me. In fact if it is a function that a camera and photos are inappropriate I probably wouldn't go. I don't visit friends that hate their photos taken. Lol
