Guys, can you suggest something to darken stainless steel, possibly medical one? I've treated it with sandpaper, so now it looks like brushed. But when left in vinegar for 1h it didnt got any darker unfortunately.

Great tip

I’m guessing this may not work for stainless steel knives would it???

Thank you!!

Gotta break em in everyone! Ive hated every axis lock type knife ive ever bought when i first opened it, love every single one now. Even a Bugout or other high dollar folders will be stiff at first

Christ. The inconsistency was caused by you not wearing gloves while handling the knife during and after degreasing, by using a pot too small for the job (it was jammed in there; of course the handle was sticking out), by letting the solution boil and evaporate too much, and by not using enough solution to cover the entire knife by at least half an inch. Maybe that music was as distracting to you as it is to your viewers.

Is it the same way for a cut throat razor

Did you clean with acetone or alcohol to remove the WD-40 residue before the banana exposure?

You really touched the blade with bare hands after degreasing it makes 0 sense

Thank you so much for this info. I got the last trick down pretty quick. Gonna keep practicing.

Excellent

If you've practised with your manual then no. I'm not good enough with mine yet. But where I live assisted knives are illegal so.

I just bought one, but from Walmart, for $13. I can guarantee you it is made by the very same company that makes those $16 ammo cans for Harbor Freight. I was about to go return it because I didn't think it'd be as good as the authentic one from the military. But after seeing your video, I think I'll just keep it.

Better way to test the seal is to fill the can 3/4ths full, lock it, and turn it upside down to see if it leaks. US Cans are Seawater tested for Corrosion Resistance, Chinese Cans are not. US Cans get a 2 Step Finish. Phosphating and Powder Coating. Chinese Cans are Powder Coated only. Buy what you want, but I prefer to keep my $$$ in the USA. F*** China.

That looks goofy asf

Lots of comments about it being stiff mine was too and now it's perfect, play around with it for a bit and oil it and it gets really smooth

Birchwood Casey's Cold Blue product isn't just for gun metal, use it for carbon steel blades and it will work much better, and much faster and it does provide rust protection.It's not expensive either.

I just discovered this, thank you.

Thank you for making this. It answered my questions.

This is what the Gurkas use..tried and tested in the jungle

Was or is this the best method to prevent the blade from rust? Possible with an Steel like CPM M4, which has 4% Chromium, and lastly should I dip the whole blade on an folder, also the parts where it locks up or not?

The point of spring-assisted is to make it more convenient in a split second situation at its core, not to come out faster per se.

Blued steel gives me such a hard on. It looks like it was mined and extracted from the fucking shadow realm!

Great work

Not faster but way less of a hassle

I’ll tell you what’s faster a fixed blade

Wow bro, you're fast. 😎👍

My blade can't open😢

This is a perfect example of why switch blade and automatic knife laws are so dumb.

Thanks dude.... found an OZKurt D'ante knife today while fishing and wasn't sure how to open it close it.... Please don't tell anyone..😂😂 .

Why do you need to cook the solution with steel wool?

Thank you to make this clip for me to get this into my school presentation referent sir.

Mine opened like a slip joint. Asked sog for help, and they couldn’t even tell me what day I would get it back, because they didn’t have any more. SMH. It was the S35vn gold model too. I just gave it to my dad who didn’t even know what their fancy opening system was about

Thanks for this fast to-the-point video! What is the reason for the borax, just curious?

Fidget knife 😎

I got a genuine and a very good copy and the copy is way way better it's way way way smoother my genuine is a little stiff

Do we really need the music…. Wouldn’t it go any louder?

Look where your hand placement was after opening the 2. The one with the flip was already in your palm ready to grip. The manual was still thumb side after riding the blade to a open. Unless you got a switch blade or fixed , it’s slower. 😂

I bought a new knife , almost looks like the one you have. Washed it real good with hot water and dish soap the in a glass with the vinegar and water. Left it for 3 hrs . All came out nice and black . No more shiny knife . Washed again and dried. Added a little oil . DONE! Came out good. Thanks for the idea. The knife says Carbon steel 1066

Interesting. Looks like you got the Beasty very sharp.

Try (FeCl3): Ferric chloride or (Mn3(PO4)2): Manganese phosphate. You can achieve a long-lasting more "profesional", deep and dark patina with both compounds.

Which Kershaw is the one on the right ???

I have a Guerilla Gear knife that I can’t figure out how to close. Your video helped me to open it but not how to close.😔

Any idea what happens to the fabric if left in the sun?

I went to several hardware and auto parts stores trying to find plain USS 7/16 flat washers. Took an hour to figure out I wasn't going to find them. Then I thought, 'I'll check out KZbin'....... In little more than the time it took to watch this video, the galvanized washers (I ALREADY HAD!!) were ready to weld....Thank You....... Being a pack rat, I had battery electrolyte.

can you do the bottle horizontally so i can put a long straw in and drink?

How do you clean the knife between experiments?

I think the video below has the best solution to adjust the long string: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWLKiWVujcuso8Usi=M1BEYRO7D26Ib0mT

Thanks for the help
