@@lalruatdika2494 so, a few things. Knives are EXTREMELY common in war. But also, it doesn't matter. It still takes longer to deploy than a normal knife. I'm not attacking it, I was just saying I find it interesting that Koss is doing these kinds of knives. Even Koss loved me saying that, so I don't understand why other people feel offended...
Unique design and complex build, Koss. One of your more innovative designs and love how perfect you grind a Tanto and use of flat and SHCS!! I do miss seeing your detailed quality hand work, but understand with a complex build, holding a high standard in Videography. Thanks Koss, please stay safe and happy!
@@Zeropointreticulant Hardly pretentious and more like Respect for the what he "Brings to the community" and the amount of effort and talent it takes to do what he does. Perhaps after 7 decades, an education, and some language skills you might find "it was cool" just isn't enough to honor someones wherewithal, so minimally.
@@Zeropointreticulant Look at you go with continuing education and manners in 3 languages. As a parting to our ways, I recalled something Maya Angelou said that I have learned over the years to be true...“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” In your case I'm willing to make an exception and forget by applying the fine words of Lily Tomlin..."The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you’re still a rat.’’
I think the strength of this channel is how it uses the language of mechanism to fluently derive and display new designs. To watch these videos is to grow in the knowledge that mechanism and artifice are at the core driven by organic process. Too easily we become trapped by the rigid framework of mechanism and lose sight of the ideological statements that are all individually components of this design language we see in knives Thank you for sharing your craft
you should standardize that semi circular cut around the pivot pin and make a jig for it so you can be more consistent as opposed to cutting it out with a hand saw each time
You have to be an engineer if you're not you got to be a hobbyist, I'm trying to figure out if we can make a style of the benchmark bug out lol, I like the walking mechanism on them but also the knives which you have to flip upside down push a piece of metal over and close it that way I love those as well
It also looks like there is a milling machine available, (as indicated by the T-Slot table being used as a base for a "drill press") so why is it necessary to use a scroll saw to crudely make the radial slot?
I apologize for the dumb question, I’m not a metal worker or a machinist, but how does the metal at 1:57 not get launched off by the rotating grinder? Is the table magnetic or is there some sort of stop I’m not seeing?
@@JeronimoStilton14 tanto blade shapes are specifically designed for stabbing, hence the reinforced tip. I can link a couple of sources for you if necessary, or you can just look up the purpose of a tanto blade. A blade does not have to be double sided for its purpose to be for stabbing.
You should make a “knife kit” and sell it. A “put it together yourself” -style. Maybe arrangeable in more than one configuration. A Pandora meet LEGO for adults…upgrade this part, add that, and so on.
Ok, I realize that not everyone has a surface grinder, but EVERY SINGLE person who I know that DOES have a surface grinder, ALSO has a BAND SAW, and doesn't have to use an angle grinder to cut out the contours of the individual pieces.
It looks really cool and I will use these build processes, but the design of the knife just left me cringing thinking of folding that blade down onto my fingers
Absolutely beautiful. I keep praying that God (in whatever name you give the Creator) will give me the resources to afford one of your masterpieces. I would be honored to be the custodian of such a masterpiece. Then my granddaughter would be the next custodian. Be well and God bless you.
As manufacturing engineer that has worked with drill presses for more than 40 years, I strongly recommend you don't wear heavy gloves. If you could see what I have seen, you would not do it. If you must use gloves wear a disposable surgical glove that will tear away when it gets caught in the tool. Not if, but when it gets caught.
