Hi, Im Alex, im a knife maker and RU-vidr, based out of southern Pennsylvania and my youtube channel is Outdoors55. This channel started as an outdoor backpacking channel, but quickly grew into a knife/ knife making channel. Everything I do on my channel is family friendly. I primarily focus on knife / knife making videos but occasionally throw in something different. Thank you for watching!😀

If I could have just two sharpening stones⬇️ amzn.to/31SZ1WQ amzn.to/2za5YGL These are amazon affiliate links.

@matthewmarting3623 4 года назад

I think you’d like the fallkniven dc4. A sword guy turned me onto them - they’re really small but the sharpening they put out is absurd. I’ve actually sharpened a sword with one and it came out great.

I need to make a knife. When pop died he was just getting in to knife making. I have all his equipment & tools. Shop too! I'm retired with nothing to do so I'm going for it!

Good luck with your knife making! Sorry to hear about that! Hope all is well🙂

@willbarks3078 4 года назад

Looks like a bad ass knife! Well done. I watched all your videos leading up to this. I really enjoyed them.

@rcmakingtracks18 3 года назад

Lovin your video's, the voice over is very good. Oh and like your sense of humour. Thanks for sharing. John

@ResaleRonin 5 лет назад

Thank you for doing the voice over! I definitely prefer this style of video over just watching you work with music in the background.

@kiliankiel1250 4 года назад

I was watching with amazement and joy! How much work! You should sell it for no less than 1000 bucks!

@jvirgilio8880 5 лет назад

So while i like the non voice over, I do like it with captions kind of like Andy Rawls does his videos. But with that said... doing the follow up with voice and answering questions is brilliant. Im just some guy so its only my opinion. Also, I do like the way you aren't afraid of using your own opinion of why you do things the way you do without feeling like you need to justify why you do it. Good luck. Love the videos.

@RedBeardOps 5 лет назад

Great tip with the counter sink bit! Gosh darn that steel sounds like a pain to work with. G-Flex Epoxy for the win... Beat BSI in my testing for sure. I really like your handle texturing... Never tried that before.

@lorenray9479 2 года назад

I like your thin strong blade idea! My fav cutters are med thin full flat grinds with a moderate bevel to get an easy to touch up blade! I am a newbee, but love to mod. My son is a machinist who makes his own tools. We have kiln, forge projects upcoming! So much fun!

@93tedd 4 года назад

I actually really like doing the "rock pattern" with a course belt for the deep scratches, followed by sanding the high spots up to 800 grit and polishing. The deep scratches provide a lot of grip, while the handle still looks shiny and pretty.

@John..18 5 лет назад

Watched both videos,, very very impressive knife, so glad you made it a more useful blade length, I always thought Mora's were a bit too short, (obviously a personal thing),, This is now your "trademark ' knife, lol,, You will have a waiting list a mile long, when you start selling these,, !!! Put my name down anyways,, ha ha,, All the best,, ,,

@kimcurtis9366 4 года назад

SWEET! Very nice outcome even if it was a PITA to do! Thanks for the awesome video!

@Ingeb91 4 года назад

Gotta love super steels if you want a camping beater that's lighter than a mora basic. If I'm going out into a relatively dry area, and I don't really want to carry alot of steel, I go for the basic. The basic just never leaves my kit. I add on a robust or a stainless mora, depending on the moisture I'm expecting. I like cheap knives. If I have to chuck 3 moras in a 20 year period, that's still less than a real knife would cost. Reason I don't call it a real knife is because of the handle. It's ergonomic, I just can't replace it as you said. Anyway, great video.

@2dthoughts 3 года назад

Great job on the handle

@peterloftus6259 4 года назад

I just started watching this channel, like the content and the presentation and production style. I bought a the basic Morakniv for my wife because she wanted something light and versatile. I even chose an unpopular colour so that I could save £1. It’s been a real guilty pleasure using it though😂🤣.

@kiliankiel1250 4 года назад

@jameshaulenbeek5931 5 лет назад

Look up the weight difference and strength difference between carbon fiber and S glass. It's not applicable to what you're doing with the handle scales, but it's interesting information...😁 BTW, love the knife!

@mountaindont34ify 4 года назад

Dude this is so damn cool. We use cheap ass low carbon bearing steel at work and heat treat batches for around 30-60 min in gigantic truck sized ovens. We clamp temper some stuff too and we oil quench and salt quench. I work in a metallurgical lab and check for hardness initially. We do break tests and check shepherd grain. We cut up small pieces and mount them and look at them under high pressure digital microscopes to check for no decarb, and good grain structure and proper case depth measurement on specific parts. Im no metallurgist but steel and heat treat fascinates me. It was cool to see how much harder it is to heat treat 3v vs just a standard shit low alloy. Very cool man! Sorry for ramblin..

@Universal_Craftsman 4 года назад

You could also ad fullers to cut down on the weight, if you don't mind losing flexural rigidity around the vertical axis.

@bluej511 5 лет назад

Both videos are great, i would have put music over the other one or something but glad to see the voice over one. 80g for a knife is just ridiculous. My computer mouse weighs 10g more then that haha. Would love to see how this thing holds up edge retention wise and if it's actually comfortable for camping tasks. As usual amazing work. Glad to see the place quenching working out.

@hermanderaeymaecker4134 4 года назад

Just watch both videos. May I suggest trying a hidden tang.

@lancemillward1912 2 года назад

Excellent video. Would love to see a sheath for this. Kydex maybe

@barkingspider2007 4 года назад

Great Video 👍. Making a knife is a lot more work than sharpening.... Thanks for the video. 😎👍

@rofferdal 2 года назад

Love this. Looks like a great knife, and the only thing I personally would make differently it to make a tad more protection between the handle and the edge. I think you are hard on yourself and your skills. I would be thoroughly happy with the finish of this knife. That said: Did you ever make another knife for this goal?

@poodlenz 4 года назад

I want to thank you for making me think I would be able to make a knife. I am now on to number 3...

@lastresort1plays 4 года назад

To save more weight you could remove some of the inside of the handle to closer match the tang

@walkingcaveman6374 4 года назад

@barkingspider2007 4 года назад

Grams matter! I hiked the AT in 2007 take knife carried was a Swiss Army keychain model. (not very good for battoning) Would have enjoyed the crap out of your knife on cold nights. Thanks for sharing the video 😎👍

@GermanBadGuy 3 года назад

I'm looking for the lightest way to add a grip/scales to a full tang. Is G10 the way to go? Also - what about respiration protection when working with G10? Thanks!

@ScoutCraftTT 4 года назад

Hey Alex, I've been a loyal subscriber for years now and I'm enjoying your videos a lot. Thanks for all those awesome videos. I've got a question tho, I've seen you often use a bandsaw to do the ruff profiling of your blade, like in this video. Can you tell me what bandsaw you're using? Greetings from Germany Marius

@sgsheff 5 лет назад

@reivertim7586 4 года назад

Are you not worried the thinness of the scales will chew your hand up ?

@davidh9585 5 лет назад

Very inspiring video. Thanks. How much do you think this hobby adds to your electricity bill a month to heat treat, temper etc? Could you break it down per knife?

@paulsymons7643 3 года назад

Could you use the leather from an old pair of chainsaw boots as a strop. What products would you use on leather. Excuse my ignorance I'm a beginner. Great channel fella.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

@CalebMcFadden 4 года назад

Hey idk if u will see his but is pine a good handle material?

@VINTAGEO 4 года назад

I'm a little late to the game here, enjoy watching your vids! I was wondering if it would be possible to cut out the middle of the scales to match the tang? Or is the handle structural? Would it save noticeable weight?

@RB-xc9vh 5 лет назад

Is it still possible to throw that knife or is it already too lightweight?

@suhr65 4 года назад

Why did you grind profile after heat treating couldn't you of done it before?

@OUTDOORS55 4 года назад

you mean bevel? If so you can't really grind the bevels with air hardening steels pre heat treat.

@xcvsdxvsx 4 года назад

Yea that finish is garbage. Ill take it off your hands. Send it to me please.

@evaderknives 5 лет назад

I'll tell ya, personally, the only reason to finish under the handle isn't for weight, it's for piece of mind, even if ya know no one will ever see it, we know it's there... I use to try different things in the packet, from Argon to paper & there really isn't any difference... Still love the countersink idea... I got a woodworkers vise to hold the aluminium plates, which leaves your hands free for the air... Carbon Fiber is awesome, but make sure you are covered head to toe, because it will eat you up, and i use to build houses & had no problem with fiber insulation.... Hope all is well, take it easy...

@jamesbarisitz4794 5 лет назад

2.8 ounces is a super light weight for an all around camp knife. Great job on hitting that number. Looking forward to your tests. We'll done man!

@biscuitkitchentreviews 5 лет назад

Sounds like you need to do more knives at once to make use of the fact that the heat treat takes so long.

Hi Alex. I really like this Knife. You did very well! Congrats! I sent a message on Instagram however. One one of your older videos when you did an edge retention ( I think) you mentioned you sharpened the Spyderco with a Lansky set. What angle do you prefer for the knife edge from a lansky? Keep the great videos coming!!
