Very intelligent decision, in making your first run a Kephart style blade! Right down to the lanyard hole. I personally don't like lanyards, but it's very smart to include it, for those that do! Sign me up for a two hole!!! Pro tip.... make a bunch.... thank me later, lol!

Nice content and approach to this build. I didn’t realize you were a knife maker, too. I also like to make knives when I can, but I don’t have the shop space to do noisy metal work. That is usually do these days is reprofile or regrind old kitchen knives down into new patterns and then put new handles on them. When I was younger living with my parents in a rural area, I could do things like blacksmithing and heat treating of steel, but that’s pretty much out of the question in apartment living.

If he didn't have what he needed, he would build it. He was raised in a family of 14 children & they never had much. Their Dad never drove a vehicle but did have a tractor. They lived from what they produced on their farm like our family of 13 did. At least my Dad had a car.

Davy Deals! Hey brother, man I love this channel, I really and honestly do Dave. You and the little lady are just awesome salt of the earth people who I would be proud to have as friends! At 56, or as those punk kids and their transistor radios say "fiddy six" I've been places, seen things, scary things, like the day I met my wife! ") You don't meet many people with the body of knowledge you have Dave, but then there's two of yus! Brook is an absolute firecracker, and just full of knowledge and skills that would take regular slobs like me three lifetimes to know half! Then there's the skill of being great teachers! I've known people who could tear a Jumbo Jet engine apart and put it back together in a few days! Incredible mechanics, but ask them to show you how to do something and they're completely lost! You just have to look at the state of a large percent of university students today and you know that nonsense took truly monstrous incompetence at the "professor" level!! Again, if one of you two cats was a good teacher on top of all that body of skill and knowledge you both have, that would be pretty cool, but AGAIN, you're both awesome, pro teachers as well!! If that doesn't sicken jealous people enough, you're both fantastic musicians and writers too!! ! There's but one thing a person can say...HOW DARE YOU!!

The drop point tip of your knife is similar to my Ontario RAT1 folder which I carry every day and love. It is very useful in all situations and agree with you that the shape will serve most users in most uses very well. I like your approach. If a knife buyer wanted one that was perfect in every aspect with laser accuracy, then any one of the mass-produced models would do. If one is looking for an artists' eye, then yours would fit the bill. Thanks, Dave for letting us look over your shoulder in your shop.

My Dad had a beautiful set a long time ago. The sheath had a smaller sheath sewed to it so both knives used the same one. They must have came from an oriental country, because they had dragons embedded in pearl handles. Absolutely beautiful. Now I know you probably don't want to get that involved, but the big knife, small knife combo would probably sell good. Just a thought from Paul.

I got a bk62, Ian beckers reproduction of the original (he managed to acquire an original) it is a real nice knife, it has an interesting balance and can cut. I completely understand your issue and desire to change it up just a bit. What grinds are you going for. I like a saber grind.. it cuts great in all kinds if situations especially with food!. i like a knife i can cook with after all those feather sticks are carved up. Your knife is your life!.. what are your handle thoughts. i opted not to get a genesis because i didn't like the thumb notches at the blade so i got a outback the custom lt wright made for blade hq, and it is great. my other real favorite is a BK2 it is an awesome beast 1/4" thick and can cut a tomato, and field dress a Buick. Sweet knif . I love knives.. they are so much fun.. Keep at it. making a knife is the ultimate.. i am still learning (yea 50 years) to use a Washita Stone, and a Whetstone, made a strop and am considering giving up and getting a tormek just cause i want all those edges to shave...

Good question.....I don't have a name or logo settled on yet. I might do a video asking for recommendations. So far the majority of the work has been mental.....just taking it slow and trying not to waste money on the wrong things. The fun part has been collecting old equipment. The old drill presses and grinder are super fun to use. Its equipment you can respect. Its got history. Our Grandparents and great grandparents made all that stuff back when there was a totally different approach to making things. It was meant to last. It says a lot that those old folks are gone but the machines they made in the 30's and 40's and 50's are still here. I don't know if I "could" use anything else...I admire and respect those folks and the way they approached building things.

Dave, I think that you may have read my mind! I've been somewhat attracted to Kephart knives, the that rounded spear point has always struck me as rather odd, and not very utilitarian. Congrats on 20K subs!

Hey Dave ! I always wanted a knife that is a little bit different then the rest! I kind of thought about adding a piece of sheet copper under each scale! Once polished out, I think it would look awesome! Especially with darker scales. What do you think?
@Bushradical5 жыл бұрын
I like it. I have been thinking of doing part of the run with copper rivets, and lanyard tube. I just think it looks awesome. Sheet copper liners would be way cool!

Congrats on 20K subs, what do recommend as the best steel for a beginner to make a knife out of, thanks and look forward to seeing your first completed knife.

Thanks Andy! To answer your question about what is the best to start out with......I'm just starting out myself!! LOL Ive read that o1 is good for beginners. Also that 1084 is very forgiving to work with.

I had ordered A2 steel but the supplier called and told me they were out and didn't catch the mistake in time...so they asked if I would be good with D2......thats why the first run will be D2

Great video Dave. Just curious, where will the knives be placed for sale.. your website? Also, do you have an approximate time table that knives will become available?
@Bushradical5 жыл бұрын
I haven't made it that far yet...I'll be documenting the whole process so when they are ready I should be ready to sell them. I may do a small website.
