I broke the tip on my L.T. Wright Patriot and sent it to them and asked if they could fix it by grinding it and I was OK with it being a little shorter. 2 weeks later I got a brand new Patriot in the mail at no charge. Now that's a company that takes care of their customers.

[@whatitisMillertime]

It's Nice to hear an Outfit stand Firmly by their product. It seems as time goes on businesses don't care about their reputation like older generations.

[@dennishurley1992]

I’ve used Scotchbrite pads to get a nice brushed finish. You could use that to even up the finish on that spine. I first learned about that when I owned a DeLorean, because that’s how they told you to get rid of little scratches. Get a pack with a range of coarseness.

[@dennishurley1992]

I have also used Scotchbrite to put a satin finish on an entire blade. Then if you get a scratch you can just refinish it. Never use steel wool because the steel particles will cause rust on even the most stainless steels.

[@Kungfufigher]

I use the same thing all the time. Also I use the very corner on my detent track to make smoother. And it’s hidden if you don’t want to brush the blade. With the exception of a few that are exposed when deployed.

[@masonrains5010]

Scotchbrite is awesome.

[@andrebartels1690]

There are rotary scotchbrite bits for power drills. These give the nicest touch 👌

[@brennenhudson7626]

What kind of pads? The non scratch pads u use for dishes or the more expensive ones? I just Googled them. I have a second spyderco military that has a small spot where the grind is off. I was just curious.

[@bdubb5390]

I'm still rocking the spyderco sharp maker. It fixed a broken tip of mine. I'm sure it was much quicker with the grinder though. Great vid!!

[@SkunkPunch73]

Beautiful seeing you tinkering away my man, it still tickles me how many people have or own a Spyderco Yojimbo and don’t know it is designed and made specifically with knife fighting in mind, they just like the shape lol. Touch wood no one ever needs to go down that line in their lifetime. Much love one and all out there! 😉🥃🥃😘👍

[@StevEDC_UK]

Looks excellent bro,I'm needing the ken onion in my life but just can't afford to get one just yet and then spend more on attachments but yea so so handy,the opportunitys are endless

Fantastic job, Jerad! How many people would just buy a new knife and not consider a simple repair option? I'm sure there are many out there, unfortunately. I'd love to get my hands on all them broken tipped knives, let me tell ya! 👊

Good stuff. I've had a lot fun doing repairs with a work sharp. Or a grinding wheel for some serious changes.

[@jakebennett239]

Very, very impressive workmanship!

[@bluerazors]

Super job! They look brand new. I have a 3hp Bader and I doubt they would have looked better. That grinder is paying for itself fast.

[@ballpython57able]

All I can say is to that you are awesome. These are exactly like a new one but better than original. Thank you sir.

[@bunsonhoneydew9099]

Good video. Lots of classroom and reasoning. Did anybody else notice that little mechanical gizmo that has the word "EDGE GUIDE" on the side perfectly blocks the camera from seeing the blade contact the belt?

[@robertdewalt8711]

I have also fixed 3 knives with broken tips using my Ken Onion Blade grinding system. One of the reasons I got firm belt set (3 sets). On the back side of my blade grinding system I have leather stopping pads on straight backend on blade grinding system.

I bent the tip on my para 3. Just bought it and I’m in love with it but ruined it by dropping the thing. It’s the purple cruwear version. Any advice as to how I can get the top back to normal without reshaping the blade? I don’t wanna f it up. Thanks in advance

Nice work Pimp....

[@SonoraSlinger]

I have personally never repaired a broken tip any other way than removing material from the spine. Always makes the most sense. Unless your edge is chipped to hel then there is no reason to grind it down

[@unclejoe6811]

Reprofiling the cutting edge takes patience, time and a belt sander. It's usually not worth the time. I usually just do as shown here and reshape the spine the benefit is a spike shaped blade that looks meaner.

[@SonoraSlinger]

@@unclejoe6811 make em pokier unk 🗡️🗡️🗡️

[@unsivilized]

I need to search your videos to see how to make them open smoother... I see to many videos talking about how they will eventually break in, but my voyager is still stiff and your opens so easy lol

[@NeevesKnives]

You can work on the spring

[@ger13nunyah56]

Bloody nice 😊

[@95ZR580]

[@jorgefernandez6407]

Jarred, you do "excellent" work! How would I get in touch with you too repair tips I've chipped?

[@d.eddlemon8400]

Nice job! Could you have turned the Voyager into a tanto or a reverse tanto? I was wondering what that would look like.

[@NeevesKnives]

Absolutely

[@florindeaconu3169]

Happy New Year man !

[@NeevesKnives]

Happy New year 👊

[@jefferys9593]

Nice work Jared, looks like they didn’t even have a damaged tip.

[@Rime0ne]

Is that the blade grinder attachment? I don't have the the extra attachment and mine looks the same as urs. Also, what belt is that? Also, great job thanks for the tutorial. I've tried this method on much less severe rounded off tips. You're definitely much better at it!

[@NeevesKnives]

Yes the blade grinder attachment for the Ken onion, u used their 60 grit then there 200

[@kevinbarrera8745]

What was the name of the knife you said competes with the lock of the voyager? Ive never seen that

[@NeevesKnives]

The Demko AD20. Or other tri ad locks like the 4max. The ad10

[@nathanstewart7766]

Good vid. I just chipped the edge off my pm3. I wanna drop down the spine but its black coated. Not sure what I'm going to do yet. Just got the thing, sucks!

[@masonrains5010]

Is it the tip? If so, you could MAYBE grind the cutting edge down 1/2 inch before the “tip chip” and shape it till the chip is gone. It would have a little more belly towards the tip. Not the best explanation, or the best idea. 😬

[@nathanstewart7766]

@@masonrains5010 ya it's the tip. Luckily I didn't break off too much. I'll probably just sharpen up the blade some to make it less noticable and use it as a daily carry. Thanks!

[@tubeonline629]

Be careful, or after grinding it may leave a point sticking above the handle when it's closed.

[@NeevesKnives]

Yeah if it's coated you can take the material from the edge so not to damage the coating

[@airadaimagery692]

Question from an amateur, with the Voyager, could you have sharpened the broken tip, if you wanted to, and make it into like a dual grind knife? You know, like a dive knife, so that it could be better used for prying? Like I said, I just don’t know, that’s why I’m asking... Thanks

[@masonrains5010]

Yea… if you wanted to.

[@Lemmiwinkser]

totally makes sense. I have a huge ass wharncliffe and if the tip ever breaks off I'm turning it into a tanto lol

[@NeevesKnives]

Absolutely, you can pretty much change a blade into what ever you want as long as the stop pin areas don't get compromised

[@airadaimagery692]

@@NeevesKnives 👍

[@TimothyCibula-vh5ip]

What grit is that blue belt? Very nice

[@jukio02]

Would you say the Ken Onion is better than the original? Is it worth the extra cost?

[@Anythingelse83]

Excellent video thanks, ever do this to a DLC blade?

[@NeevesKnives]

yes but you have to 2 tone it meaning you will see where you grind so you have to try and blend it as much as poss

[@Anythingelse83]

@@NeevesKnives thanks, recommendations on what to look into on how to 2 tone it? Thanks again, enjoying the videos.

[@NeevesKnives]

@@Anythingelse83 if you grind the spine you can add swedges on the spine to the tip

[@watcherspirit2351]

My Cogent has a broken tip, very small. Dropped it in the bathroom sink. Fell only about a foot. Who'd have thought such a little drop would break the steel?? Who would you recommend I send it to for repairs? I do not have the equipment or skills. Thanks! Great video.

[@NeevesKnives]

Contact me on email or through Instagram. Ceramic is extremely hard and steel doesn't compare especially with thin geometry

[@sir_i.p.freely3757]

Damaged the tip on my CS Spartan I don’t got the cash to buy that fancy mini belt sander so I’m taking a little meat off the clip to bring back the tip by stone I know I’m in for a long project but it will be like brand new soon

[@JohnC29]

I'd make the Voyager a clip point.

[@Zero_8347]

Drop points and sheepsfoot/wharnies are easy to repair cuz you can just take material off the spine with a belt grinder

[@dominickgiallombardo2921]

What about Kubey Aus10 ? Is it the same as Cold Steels Aus10? Very interesting video.

[@NeevesKnives]

It's not the exact same because they probably have a little different heat treat protocols but they are both done well

[@brennenhudson7626]

Dude your hand sharpened edges look sexy. The way they cut. I have a pm2 with small tip chip and factory edge. What would u charge? I didn't know u help people with their knives. I just started watching your videos a while ago and I'm hooked. U been getting me back into knives. I kinda left from collecting and went to collecting guns. But I have always loved good knives.

[@newmanoutdoorsnewman5619]

bang happy new year

[@YourAverageReviews]

I feel the Cold Steel could've been fixed from the edge side without taking that much steel off because you could just taper the edge. Sure, you'd change the edge shape a bit, but I feel it wouldn't be that bad. Either way good job.

[@NeevesKnives]

Of course but this wasn't much steel in the end it looked brand new, and didn't require loosing g any steel from the edge which is most important and it didn't change the geometry or shape

[@latetodagame1892]

I'd just throw those away and move on!🤘🏼

[@robertmunguia250]

You recommend belt sanders to fix tips? Oh what grit is that belt?

[@NeevesKnives]

If your going to remove the steel from the spine, or have a lot of steel to remove before doing a Sharpening, my belt I think starts at 60 grit then finish at 300 if you want a finer satin finish

[@robertmunguia250]

@@NeevesKnives yes that’s what I started at on 60grit on 1 by 30 and then progressed to 400 grit trizact and diamond stone to finish. Not as good as I wanted but looks straightened.

no it wont as long as the blade doesnt get to hot which mine doesnt i make sure of it, in many cases im dipping it in water, but when the belt is not at a super high speed and you stop often it wont burn

[@Boltsinkwell]

Are we talking about how our knives perform and stand up to abuse or are we fixing a broken tip?!?!?!? I don't mean to come across as a dick but I've ruined my stone trying to fix a blade that is made of extremely hard steel. I was looking for advice on how to do it in a more efficient way that won't damage my sharpening stones. The first few minutes were all about how much you like your knife and all I wanted to know was how you were going to repair it. Lol.

[@mymans3284]

Are you lugemonger by chance

[@NeevesKnives]

Nope

[@Flockingtheherd]

And this is why I don’t use folding knives. Everybody’s so into this fad with folding knives and extremely hard steels that should never be used on a knife. And keep in mind no folding knife should ever, no matter what, be used for hard use. They are essentially only for cutting paper and cardboard nothing else

[@_MiMo_]

Lynn Thompson and Andrew Demko disagree. And Chris Reeve and Bill Harsey and Ernest Emerson and....

[@masonrains5010]

@@_MiMo_ and me.

[@NeevesKnives]

Yeah I disagree, I know some folders that are far far stronger and tougher than some fixed blades. There are some incredibly strong locks that have been thoroughly tested and proven to hold way more weight than you could ever deliver. There's knives for every purpose I agree many are for cutting normal purposes only.

[@Flockingtheherd]

@@NeevesKnives eh I still disagree. I mean sure there may be a few folders that are overbuilt and have a strong lock, like an extrema ratio RAO II or triad lock. But there’s one defining feature in a folding knife that compromises its strength and goes so easily unaccounted for when determining if a knife is safe for heavy duty use. And that is longitudinal forces. A knifes locking mechanism only defines a knifes latitudinal force, up and down, not side to side. A hard use knife encounters forces on any geometric plane. For example when trying to shave a stick, not only are you applying latitudinal force down, but longitudinal force to the blades side. This is what will ultimately lead a folding knife to fail as there is a space between the blade and the folders tang/handle near the pivot. It might work for awhile but it will only wear out and become looser and looser over time until failure. A good test to determine if a knife is capable of hard use is to baton a knife sideways into a tree and to then stand on the knife as a step. Many fixed blades can achieve this, but no folder will ever be able to do this reliably.
