I will mod mine and add a thumb hole and I can’t wait!!!
I absolutely cannot wait for this release!
Does an axe cut better with convex edge ? I'd like to see
I was gonna ask where you got the prototype.. but you made it! Lmao. It looks amazing. I will be getting one.
Does the handle hydrolyze?
Absolutely love the diamond pattern on the XL. I’ll be picking one of these up ASAP.
Beautiful as always
That Highfin XL I cannot wait for! Your designs are so good looking.
Excited! I do wish it was a blade slot versus a stud. And that it had a longer different clip. Grateful to see another collab with WE. Keep ‘em coming. Your designs are too awesome! (Wharncliff Nurse collab next please!)
Shark skin texture looks sick
Thresher is one of my favorite folders of all time. These knives look cool. There is something about the highfin blade shape that is yearning to reprofile that fin into a bottle opener in my mind. Call me crazy. Love you mike, looooong time follower.
I like it for sure! Hope it's not too expensive! Greetings from Europe
what brand is the yellow floder
Spyderco Manix 2 lightweight with Magnacut steel! Welcome to the rabbit hole hehe. Greetings from Europe
Spyderco Manix 2 Salt Lightweight
I like using ulti clip, but I also like what you did with the paracord for horizontal. I put some of those Molly Clips in my basket in Amazon, I'll try them too.
In practice. Best self defense knife is the one that an opponent may not easily disarm you from or one shouldn't drop it during scuffle. This one is lousy in that department. For EDC it's 10/10 for self sense. No no. U got to have something with index or pinky grove like karambits or solid grips like push daggers. No offense just a public service message.
The blades for these were orginally made by Blackjack when they were still in production in Illinois (USA) when they first came out. They sold them directly under the BK&T brand.
Absolutely incredible.
Would really like to see this design as a collab with Kansept or WE knives!! A a V Grind. Love your work - wish that I could afford more.
Sir insane! You Styles ar so fresh n cool. Let me ASK is that black timascus with zirc? I am so tired about the blue'ish colours.
Thank You, yeah black timascus has zirc in it, its the black you would see normally in black timascus. Its blackened by heat. Timhis one is regular timascus without zirc, just 3 titanium alloys
I just bought the OG grizzly but saw this later, and yelled in my shop for a while. A fucking VFD for $300?? Tilts??? Crikey!!!!
I bought the same one you had from 15 years ago. When I got it it REALLY reminded me of you.
Holy cow, I thought I recognized your voice. I used to subscribe to your channel several years ago. Somehow I got unsubscribed. I'm glad I found you again. I agree with you, this is an awful lot of machine for the price. A single speed 1x30 with a 1/3 hp motor will cost you about $50. I've seen a few videos on this machine and the one thing almost everyone complained about was the platen. Which is an easy thing to fix.
The little one reminds me of antique German military "Fascine Messer" i've handled from the 19th century. Nice stuff.
Excellent video bud, I got the big boss and love it.
This exact knife with Spydie hole. That is my absolute grail.
I think it would be worth while to build a contact wheel and a fuller wheel for this unit. I don't think it would be very difficult at all. Mainly just need some flat bar, and figure out a way to mount the wheel or roller to it.
Ok, now I have to get one so I can make my own improvements! Thanks for the inspiration; your work is beautiful, sir!
incredible
Hey man, I have one of your big elmax bowies. What did you end up naming it? Second question, that is my absolute FAVORITE camp knife, any chance in getting one made or have this one sent off for some tlc?
With my power supply, at 95 volts I got a nice green color with a purple haze. Awesome color
I already have a 2by 72. I ordered my grizzly just to have the smaller machine to work on other grinds.
Thank you for posting this! I purchased a SRK in CPM 3V with an oilve drab handle because it was on a super sale (new) for $77 (with a first time buyer's added discount) from Midway USA and I am going to make a micarta handle for it. I'll likely make my handle using carbon fiber for the finger guard and pommel and green canvas micarta for the main handle area but will epoxy the carbon fiber and micarta together before sliding it onto the tang so it has a seamless integrated look without screws or pins on the handle. I'm not expecting to be batoning much with it since I have other knives more suitable for that and as such, don't need the extra security/strength that screws or pins would provide. It's good to see other enthusiasts venturing out into customizations of their own designs, just as you've done here. Hope to see more videos from you.
I have been waiting for these to come back in stock. I have been using a Palmgren / Norse / Dayton / Craftsmen 2x42 that is popular on Amazon to make knives currently. It takes some working with it, and requires paying attention and not overheating anything, but it works.. I don't have a ton of "shop space" as I am just in my basement, and I don't have a ton of money either, so this will be perfect for what I need to do. I churn out maybe 2 - 5 knives a month (5 on a "busy" knife month lol), so this will be above and beyond for my needs. I watched other videos and as long as you aren't hogging off steel and putting massive amounts of pressure on it, as well as you replace the platen backing like I would do with ceramic glass or something, I believe these will work out just fine for many people!
Wear shoes on garbage strewn beach.
Poor knife....RIP SRK
I love your accent and how it sounds like you're saying 'knife shit' and 'photo shit' LOLOLOL. Good video. Thanks.
I turned one into a 2 by 72 small wheel grinder. Its great! Just gotta take it easy
Even sweeter ❤
Woooo. More gavik!
Excellent price to get into the hobby.
💪🤙🇺🇸
It's nice to see this all in one place. Thanks.
Please do videos on the upgrades!!
Sure you can extend the platten to 72" lenght belts but the motor is to weak to drive it.
Length of the belt doesnt make it any harder or easier on the motor. Its a loop that goes continuously so the length has no affect. Width would have an affect. I did it yesterday real quick and teated it and it actually has surprisingly lot of power and torque. This can definitely make a knife easily… only question will be longevity
Don't grind yourself! :D
This is hilarious, I was just going through your old videos looking for the big choppers you used to make. I just forged my first kukri and it reminded me of those knives the Excalibur . I was just thinking I miss your videos and here we go, you made one yesterday :). I remember back when everyone was all about chunky grinds and you were trying to grind as lean as possible. And I also remember using your advise on grinding when I made my first knife back then. You have come very far from when I used to watch your vids in high school circa ~2011. Not that I ever stopped following along on Instagram and stuff!
Last i heard your voice was 10 years ago. Nice to watch you again bro!
I've been putting together my knife shop. I was extremely impressed with this unit. I think it's going to be perfect for sharpening and light-medium duty handle scale work.
Did you try to grind steel with it yet? Is it not powerful enough for it since you said light-medium duty handle scale work? I cant wait to customize this and give it a go, but like you said, i might keep it just for sharpening and some light easy work that doesnt need lot of water cooling like i use for my gridnding…
@@gavkoo A lot of folks use terms like "light-medium duty" or "beginner" because it's not $3,500 like a 2x72. lol I have this grinder, and if a person can't sort a way to make knives with it, a 2x72 would be a waste of their money. This machine needs very little modification to be a solid knife grinder IMHO.
@@gavkoo I have not yet tried to profile any blanks out or anything. Just sharpened some kitchen knives on it. Performed very well. I’m sure it would profile OK. But I have a grizzly 2x72 that I plan on using for profiling. My philosophy is the right tool for the right job. I don’t want to beat the machine into the ground. Either way, this is a huge step up when comparing it to the cheapo 1x30s. Opens up a lot more capability at a good price.
@@gavkoomine has no power. I can stop it easier than my 1x30 grinder. It also won't track well at all
@@SugarMapleForgei would definitely try to reach out to grizzly, i heard their customer support/service is great. I cant stop mine and it tracks decent, so im guessing you have something wrong with yours.
good to see you again ,its been awhile
It’s not a northridge but potentially has promise for some applications. Using mine for leather sanding do far. The value is hard to beat.
A gavko video? Ooooo
