Good God dude 10 minutes in you haven't shown shit.

Great to view this great video again. Man, I miss Cliff.

Hi nebulax, thank you for the great information but I have a question.... Why don't you use (and many other you tubers) metal protection caps on your buffing machine?

Hi Bruce. Its been a long time. After 10yrs...how is the vice holding up?..(If you are still using it)

I love and appreciate the emphasis of on safety brother..

I’m glad that the buffer i bought is variable speed after watching this. i haven’t used it yet though .

100

😅 You use variable speed buffing wheel not a single speed motor that's why jewelers use variable speed wheels😂😂

Just bought one of your Ontario NS4 sheaths, can’t wait!

Damn good information.👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸

Thank you sir😃👍

Great job!! Looks great

I like the copper too.

The thing is due to how expensive these knives are very few people are willing to do a hard use test on them. And I'm sure the manufacturer is counting on that fact. Because from what I have gathered from a few of of those tests I was able to find online, they chip quite easily, from batoning, cutting through metal and what not.

Thank you sir. I'm finally old enuf to take saftey advice... Just learning the knife building trade and was wondering about buffers. So much good info here. Sure appreciate it!

What do you do when there’s no snap or screw and the belt is stitched?

Very cool! As I said, I've never seen one of those before. Thanks for showing it 👍

Good video. Good review. Nice knife. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.

Great video. The knife needs some love . The rope is a good way to test the blade. Nice little knife. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts. Oh that's sizel rope . Tough stuff. Good rope.

Hi. That's way cool. You can shoot a groundhog at 2 hundred yards with that . Good to get out and get some good shooting in. Good video. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.

@nebulax123 Great video. I like that we get to see Randy's reaction. Forgive me for putting this in a comment, but there's no direct message system anymore: I was wondering if you could recommend a good place to sell some cKc knives from Kyley Harris. I have six, but four I never use and am looking to move them on to someone who lives in a country with less strict knife laws. (I'm selling a Streamline 2.0 with UHMWPE scales, a 3" utility, a bait utility, and, perhaps, an edc.) I'm keeping a slipjoint and a Victorious. None of them have been used much by me so any sales advice you could give would be awesome.

That second blade that you picked up not the one Unlce Jesse was holding, looks a whole lot like my Gavko Knifechette that I purchased from the late-great Cliff Stamp may he rest in peace 🙏 but if you searched S7 knifechette you'd find a video of him really putting it to work...

I have store bought buffers. They come with such fast speeds. If that makes them dangerous. Then why don't the manufacturers make it so these things turn slower?

Hey buddy i got a good looking western bowie..just wanna clean up the blade..can you give me steps??

Well done sir.

I want to shorten my belt from middle. Because sewing design on both ends.

I just got one of Randy's sheath's for my cold steel trail master. It was tight at first, needed little adjustment to become one of the best sheaths I could have ever hoped for. Thank you Randy!

Great video. Good job. How did you get the leather stack handle shiny. And what did you use. I have a western boy scout knife and I would like to bring it back to life. And the same to my pal rh 50 . Boy scout knife. Funny I got the original leather sheaths for them . Love that knife. I used neatsfoot oil on the leather sheath. now I need to find out how to make it shine. . Any advice on the handles and sheath. It would help me a lot . Thank you. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.

Great video. Good job. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.

Where is this shop

I just use leather. It’s gonna get scratched anyways. Well mine is cuz I use. But the leather works great.

We use that buffer for polishing cowboy boots, leather and things like that. Never for knife making. You are taking your life in your own hands if you do...Thanks for making this clear to the viewers. That buffer we use only for leather craft, never use loose buffs for any thing else

Great video. God bless. from Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.

Thanks. Great information. Keep up the great work. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.

Excellent video, many thanks. I admit that I hadn't thought too much about safety except for make turned the wheel the other way. However, what I believe the most after your explanation is that my motor is spinning too fast. And actually, I've never done very well with this dough and it's probably because of this fast speed. Thanks again.

I can say from experience that that knife was originally a great blade made from very high quality carbon "tool" steel that holds an edge far better than 98% of stainless steels. Their heat treatment at Western was phenomenal

waow , beautiful .

I totally agree with what you are saying!! Rockstead knives are in a league of their own!!!

You did an amazing job

My question is can we get the blade razor sharp with that felt wheel after stone and strop . I ve been through 600 grit sandpaper , a strop and it’s not quite sharp enough to glide through paper still , boker d2 steel ? Any help is appreciated . I ll see it in my email

I have a red wing buffer polisher thingy from a. Dr office where they fit make hearing aids and used it to fit the little hearing aids but it is fast and quiet , two speeds and the high speed is super fast but so so quiet . It’s sick . I think they’re like $280 for the red wing

Have you seen the perpetual engine made from magnets and a truck alternator and air conditioning motor ? It works and will run power tools , it’s awesome and illegal but hey man , it really works . Pull start . There’s a vid about it

I use high grit sand paper to clean the buffing wheel and it works great fellas 👍👍. Amen . I seen guys use a spur for car detail buffers but yeah sandpaper for the clogged cloth works , don’t breathe it in , get a fan or wear a mask . We breathe in The worst shit I swear .

I was about to just go at tit with the buffing wheel and glad I stopped here first . Working on sharpening a beer blade that came dull or not quite paper cutting sharp

Very cool 😎

Oh that knife came out real nice. Great job. I would have liked to see you put that knife together. Been thinking of doing slipped joint make overs . Well good video. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.

Looks INCREDIBLE!!!!!

I realize this is an older post but I just came across it. This knife is a "contract" knife made by Western Cutlery in Boulder Colorado as the model L-44. Western Field was a Montgomery Wards brand. If it has a patent stamp opposite the brand stamp it would have been made before 1953.

Great city testing review!! Thank you so much!! I totally understand and agree with you. Rockstead knives with their special ginding / heat treatment, definitely produces the Best blades in the World!!

Good video. Looks like the knife is going to come out great. God bless. Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.
