I found your channel because im currently designing a knife that im making for my father. Thank you for making this video, i have lot of ideas thanks to you!
I love hearing old guys (sorry if that offended you. It was not intentional) talk about anything. And his voice is very soothing. It is a very good video.
You're more than welcome. There's a world of great knives that will fit in women's jeans pockets and knowing what shape of blade would most likely work best for you is a great way of starting to sort through them. My daughter is personally fond of the CIvivi Elementum, but Case also makes quite a few nice, smaller knives. CJRB Small Feldspar might be another one to consider. In any case, I wish you luck and look forwards to seeing you here in my little corner of cyberspace again.
Get yourself a 2-blade serpentine jack, comes with a clip blade and a pen blade and fits right in the small watch pocket on a pair of jeans, it handles 90% of my cutting tasks. I carry mine every day and forget all about it until I need it. Good Luck and Happy Hunting!👍☺
Immediate Bob Ross vibes from you sir. I just retired after a long career in the military and contracting for both government and private sector brokerages (KBR security/Gladius International-formerly Leviathan Group) and need a new hobby to keep my sanity. Knives are not exactly foreign to me (I’m no Doug merciada, but Silat was always my favorite tertiary “goodbye bad guy” weapon) but in my newly discovered love of knife making, I’m not too embarrassed to admit when I’m totally ignorant to a concept, but man am I lost! Your demeanor during this knowledge transfer was very much appreciated and calming. I just strangled the sub button you asked me to hit. Or did you not mean “hit” in that way? Damn it… well, you’re stuck with me now 🙏🏼🇺🇸🙏🏼
Oh, did you shoot this video instead of taking a nap? LOL I'm just playing with you brother, thank you for the video. I'm a new knife maker myself and I'm curious about what to call these styles that I'm coming up with. Your video helped me, now order your son something cool
Nap? Sleep? What is this thing of which you speak? I know it not! lol, no in all seriousness, thank you. And don't worry, I got my buddy something from Chik-Fil-A, his favorite restaurant.
I use hock bills \ tallons / what I call them carpet knifes for Castrating cattle you put the nice in hot cools tell it’s red hot clean the Testicles with Iodine the grab knife and pull towards yourself it is the best way to castrate if not useing rubber band witch is how I like to do it but some people like to eat them
Learned more about knife blades in 20 minutes than 63years of living. Been carrying a Case trapper for last 20 years . Like Case steel . thank you for informative video.
Glad you like them! Much as I enjoy doing knife reviews, I must admit it's a bit of a rush to get to show off some of the knives in my personal collection.
That last knife looks similar to the 1917 American Bolo. You can get a recreation from Windlass steel crafts. Same knife carried by the legendary Harlem Hellfighters which was supposedly inspired by Filipino Bolo knives. Im not sure if you are aware of the online shop "Kultofathena" but they have a lot of reproductions of historic knives, axes, bayonets and swords as well as daggers. If you arent familiar with that site I recommend a look, its very popular among the HEMA(Historical European Martial Arts) community. Another thing you may want to check out is a channel run by a HEMA instructor/antique arms and armor collector and dealer who covers a number of weapons including knives, daggers, swords etc both in how they were used and why they were shaped the way that they were. Channel is "Scholagladiatoria" run by Matt Easton. Im suggesting these btw because you seem to be like me in the sense that you like to analyze the blades, know where they come from and what tasks they were meant to excel at given the culture, environment or specialized tasks that might have been more in demand at certain times. Always love finding informative channels like yours, subscribed and looking forward to going through your past videos.
Thank you. Reason I didn’t cover the Bowie in this video is that I did one on just it. If you’d like to check it out, it’s at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vn6kTEj6qO8.html
So then what’s a Bowie? Thanks for the clarification on the 2 Tanto types? Could you explain some of the newly “fashionable” different clever?? Thanks for the video
I won't lie to you. I've wanted a khukuri since I was about 10 or 11 years old. When I got my first job, I spent about $100 for a khukuri. The shipping was weird having to get it from Nepal, but it is really nice.
