HOW TO CUT IN A SHARPENING/FINGER CHOIL

[@Elmax17.5dps]

I like going back to these older videos. Great job

[@fordguy8613]

Nice job.....there is a brand name for the rubberized abrasives called Cratex. They make different grits in different colors. The "bouncing" is called chatter, and as mentioned, is decreased with an increase in cutter speed.

[@NeevesKnives]

Absolutely

[@brianbracht9542]

Thanks brother, cut I a new choil on my buck 656 hunting knife and its like a brand new blade now! Keep it up

[@jimsheppard910]

Excellent how-to video Jerod. Thanks for taking the time to do this. I have a few knives that are suffering from a too small choil so...wish me luck. From 🇨🇦...stay safe and sharp.

[@NeevesKnives]

👊 Goodluck Jim

[@q1fiend623]

This is a great one Jerad. Especially the multiple warning about not cutting a choil where the stop pins bear. You can't forget that a folding knife is a machine.

[@NeevesKnives]

Absolutely

[@plausible.deaniability]

Damn it looks hella good!! Good job Jared!!!

[@scotmetcalf2745]

Almost want a Buck now! Lol as always great video my friend! Have an amazing weekend

Very awesome video, thanks for teaching us all.

Damn Jared. That’s next level instruction. Thanks. 🔪💕🔪

[@Seth45Dn]

You have a gift my brotha…keep it up. It will open doors. Much love homie. As always thanks for the informative content

[@cueball981]

Thanks for putting this demonstration up, Jerad!

[@jayytee8062]

Gotta admit you've improved the look of that blade from what it was. Noice!

[@NeevesKnives]

Thanks Jay! It took a sweet edge also nice and even grinds

[@mancaveedc7596]

What an excellent how to video Jerad. Super educational! Not sure who the one hater was that thumbed down this video. Rock on NK.

[@NeevesKnives]

The guy who doesn't think choils matter, and recurves his buck 110 into a khukuri blade shape over time from Sharpening

@@NeevesKnives lol!

[@davidshuck8830]

I learned something today thank you that was cool

[@dennisbroekhoven6367]

One thing to keep in mind the he didnt do was have water on a container to constantly be dipping the blade in to keep it cool. Doing this stuff to the blades creates heat and you ALW want the blade to be kept cool cause it will start to mess the heat treat if to much heat is generated. And it take not time at all for it to start heating that steel up. Other then that great job

[@jonr1510]

I completely cover everything with painters tape when I do this, keeps the pivot clean. I'll have to try the aluminum oxide bit, I've been doing the refining by hand. Good vid and informative

[@NeevesKnives]

Yeah I was planning on taking it apart anyways so it didn't matter. But otherwise I do as well

[@DogLegDoug]

Great video as always, thanks.

[@larrymarsico4059]

Very nice choice on that Two Sun!!!

[@ScottieG59]

I use a Dremel press to keep it straight and steady. I would be too sloppy freehand and it reduces my first aid activities.

[@NeevesKnives]

That's smart I almost set something up like that but I'm trying to show how to with as little tools as possible

[@Lunarpreparedness]

Wow man. You do really good work. I always wondering why you always had people sending you knives to sharpen. Awesome! I’m really impressed

[@NeevesKnives]

Thank you!

[@Bear-nu8xm]

Thanks Jerod! I just asked you the other day how to do this.

[@NeevesKnives]

👊

I'm going to do a list soon of easy diy knife mods

[@Bear-nu8xm]

@@NeevesKnives That's awesome!

[@739sf6mwq6pRdocosbaiTxocmKlkes]

I have and use many of the same round file for lots of work. Because they don’t cost much, I keep them handy in surplus. Great for quick serrated work.

[@NeevesKnives]

Yeah I have some different files as well hardened steels can be tough though without a dremel, especially certain ones

[@739sf6mwq6pRdocosbaiTxocmKlkes]

@@NeevesKnives amen. Love my dremel.

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

I want that Buck marksman! If its ever forsale let me know, I have a thing for older tactical knives.

[@ibpositivemostly7437]

Reminds of the Dentist 😱

[@hyssean12]

Medford commented to me about their plunge/choil. His excuse was it would affect the detent because the track is so close to the plunge. But you could always cut it farther forward and not touch the rear of the choil.

[@NeevesKnives]

Yeah that doesn't make sense as you said cut it into the edge not the ricasso

[@SkunkPunch73]

Lovely job Jared can’t fault you one bit, just gave a knife with hardly any life span a hell of a lot longer,👏🤝 hope you and the good lady are both having a beautiful day stay safe and healthy 😘👍

[@NeevesKnives]

Thanks Skunk 👊

[@carlosmiles1011]

This ca be done to a redencion 229 kickstop? As long as I dont mess with the stop pin area?

[@pickingandpiping]

Thanks for the video. I have a civivi pintail that I’d like to add a finger choil? How do I know if that’s ok? Also the blade is coated (black) so would I really screw it up if I put in a choil? Thanks!

[@NeevesKnives]

The Pintail is fine to put a choil on, but I show you how to know, check to see where the stop pin is, the PINTAIL uses internal stop pins that are not in the way so your safe

[@pickingandpiping]

@@NeevesKnives terrific, thanks!

[@dalelane1948]

Great vid

[@ramonade_knives]

Thanks for the vid, I've been using diamond dremel bits for a while now. Shouldn't it be faster with diamond than with tungsten carbide ? that's what i tend to see online

[@NeevesKnives]

The Carbide bit is much faster because it's made to cut hardened steel

[@ramonade_knives]

@@NeevesKnives Thanks for the answer, ordered a 9903 just like yours to test it out next time a brand/maker doesn't respect the sacred plunge line !

[@dennisbroekhoven6367]

You should of done and explained that doing this stuff creates a fair amount of heat to the blade and should be cooled regularly in water so it doesn't mess with the heat treat of the blade.

[@kennethtape3362]

Maybe just maybe you could run into a bit of trouble should the dremel decide to take off across the the full length of the the cutting edge, doing it by hand with a rat tail file is a bit more time consuming but a lot safer for the novice. `Just saying’ 👍😄 thanks for the video Jarred✌️

[@NeevesKnives]

The folks that have a hard time using a simple tool like a dremel can always use a file absolutely, imo if you have that much trouble using a dremel then you probably shouldn't be using a knife, and since the point is to cut in a Sharpening choil I'd guess they sharpen so they can always sharpen the knife afterwards or cover the areas they don't want to damage with tape

[@Hungrybird474]

Yes ! I’m so stupid I should have looked for this !

[@NeevesKnives]

👊

[@kamranzangeneh7298]

got it kamran

[@tima7662]

Not bad at all. Looks like it is pretty even too. I guess my only question is why do you have to put one on the McNees knife? Don't get me wrong, it is a nice knife with quality components but for $500, it should already have one. I just find his knifes to be way overpriced for what they are and you can get similar models for half the price with a sharpening choil, over travel stop, lock bar insert and better clip. Seems like I'm bashing McNees again but I like the way they look, just wish they had everything with the price they are asking for them.

[@NeevesKnives]

The owner asked me to, I said it could wait until it's next edge but he said go for it, which will make Sharpening much easier in the future for it and will look so much cleaner after the edge I put on it

[@tima7662]

@@NeevesKnives I agree! Guarantee it will look great and you will put a great edge on it! I like McNees knifes but like I said above, too expensive for what you get..

[@tima7662]

@@Notorious2024 Exactly my point! For what you get, there are better options for half the price.

Its irritating that companies still cant figure out how to do a decent sharpening choil

[@AGC828]

Spyderco should see this video :)) They would sell more knives than they do...to people who expect sharpening choil...and are buying Benchmade, ZT.........etc....knives instead...heh...

[@theknifeconnection9571]

I had a ts301 on order then all of a sudden they all disappeared. It even said shipped and the Amazon tangli dude. Screwed me he said they would get more and ship me one. Unless I wanted refunded. I said no I don’t want refunded I wish you had these in stock like the page said you did. And hopefully you get more soon because sometimes Towson quits making models after certain runs and he cut me off and refunded me. Said “look for yourself”. Like wtf

[@NeevesKnives]

Wow wtf, that's not cool, I notice I usually can't get any links if they aren't available, but I guess they have some inventory issues

[@theknifeconnection9571]

@@NeevesKnives yep now he said. When they get back in stocks I can order again or his boss is running a auction in ebay. I didn't look. But I swear if they are auctioning off a ts301 on ebay just to make more money even tho I ordered first that's fd up

[@michaell397]

I would giver you a few hints on how to keep frim damaging the teeth on the carbide and how to keep the tool from getting away from you like it did in the vid. by climbing up on the actual edge of the blade. But then again, you have proven too arrogant to take any advice. I guess with a lot more experience you will learn on your own. Of course, you'll screw up a lot of peoples projects un-nesicarely along the way. No man is an island. A shame to let arrogance block knowledge and help. KnifeMaker

[@NeevesKnives]

I'm not sure your speaking to the same person your referencing, I've always been completely open to advice and learning, I do however get thousands of ridiculous comments a day from people that actually have no clue what they are talking about, and have learned something from some where with no actual experience in the subject, but I'm always open to constructive criticism or knowledge, carbides and teeth is a topic I frequently talk about in my personal lives where I'm alone in my lives. I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to say but I am trying to understand
