I feel like a step was skipped right after 2:28 when suddenly the knife has a tip

[@SwheatCents]

Yeah what I watched for he cut out

How to draw an owl according to tutorial books. Draw some circles, and then draw the rest of the owl.

[@waxingmoon2726]

he just skipped a bit of time bc he was just filing

[@Squamington]

ya boi uh austin I mean you could say that was the most important part of the filing

[@quaxenleaf]

I believe the 50/80 grit diamond stones were really designed for this type of restoration. I’m currently using a 100 grit diamond stone to restore about 1mm of a broken tip on my CRK Inkosi and it’s taking a while on the S45VN. (Thankfully it’s a tanto, so I’ve only an isolated section to work with.) I also believe grinding the new profile might’ve been much easier, then use the 100 stones to reestablish the edge. I’m a woodworker using only hand tools and whenever I had the misfortune of chipping an edge on a chisel or plane blade I headed to the grinder (Norton white wheel) and ground it out carefully so as not to overheat and lose temper. But you did it with good success! Thanks for the video!

[@IntenseAngler]

Very nice work my Brother. Thank you for taking the time to share your method. Now to fix a couple of blades of my own... Hope all's been well Drew! -John

[@RevHiker]

Thanks, John! I still sharpen some knives freehand, but it's mostly the wicked edge at this point

[@IMMASTUPIDIDIOTOMG]

why you writing a whole ass letter 💀

[@E.L.RipleyAtNostromo]

Damn, I’ve been sharpening knives since I learned 55 years ago snd am very impressed! Really nice job. I have strips but nothing freehand like this, always down on a bench. Beautiful job!

[@nclinh]

actually you skipped the most important part of the video, kinda sad :(

[@rebeccajuntunen3183]

What is the name of the type of file you were using? And do you recommend a specific brand?

[@Cr0cket20]

Great job. Love breathing new life into a badly beaten knife like that. Fun to see your process and looked great with the final result.

[@RevHiker]

Thank you 👍 spyderco wouldn't take care of this for the owner, so he sent it to me. I enjoy fixing them

[@sawtoothscream1521]

Dang, the part I wanted to see isn't there :(.

[@torreyintahoe]

Might be beneficial to have the 50/80 grit stones for a job like this.

[@sameold77]

I want to see the time lapse between 2:29 and 2:30, that was the critical part, to get it to a point. Thanks for sharing, nice work fixing it.

[@RevHiker]

I had an issue with that portion... by issue I mean I didnt hit record when I though I did haha. It's more of the same though. Back and forth until you get the shape you're looking for

[@mfreeman313]

@@RevHiker LOL, I've been there and missed the best bit. I didn't mind, it's pretty obvious you bend the curve down to the straight edge on the other side. Common sense really. Beautiful job, the knife looks brand new. They don't give those Spydercos away.

[@timheasman2984]

Why no use a grinder to speed it up ?

[@chipsammich2078]

Like how it goes from no tip. Hand covers tip waahla magic has tip again smh

[@jakew3108]

How much do your charge for this service of a vintage fixed blade military knife? I would love to try it my self but don’t have the tools or confidence in my skill.

[@podboq2]

beard hair… sureeeeee, that’s what it was…. anyway, the part I really wanted to see was cut - where ya go from chipped end to pointy end, at roughly 2:29-2:30

[@aminortriad7972]

The $150 custom knife my grandpa got me with my initials and birth date on it broke

[@n.h.moreno]

I have two $200+ balisongs that I am Not About to throw away----so, this is badass!!!

[@cursive6784]

Which sharpening system do you use ?

[@Areaa_]

i was gifted a old knife for protection, i dont have any of these tools , anyone know how to fix it without these? my blade had a chipped tip like this one

[@Tommy-ni1yw]

If I don't have beard hair could I use the pubic type?

[@Lucas-dr6ho]

My knifes tip is not broken but it looked a bit on the flatter side so this helped

[@anti_maze8096]

Who else is here bc you broke one of your dad's best knife?

[@martyesposito5625]

Masterful work. And the no-nonsense format of the video is much appreciated~

[@walts4856]

Nice job , I learned sumpin 😊

[@myxa3842]

Thank you! This helped me fix my Bowie knife, but it took like an hour

[@hadenglock1638]

Thanks for the video!

[@BX138]

@1:08 He turns into The Flash

[@theTIVANshow]

Great video

[@RevHiker]

Thanks👊

[@brianfedderson9088]

The magic happens at @ 2:38.

[@wdu3164]

Do you repair for others?

[@STAY-GOLD-VINYL]

Wow what a quick and easy tutorial!

[@zyern2822]

I usually just Dremel

[@frankieren8791]

If I have a knife with a broken tip, I'll repair it by sending it to you. Lol Was interesting to watch.

[@RevHiker]

Haha

[@mbikesrulee]

Hey good to see you again. Thanks for the video.

[@RevHiker]

Thanks... been out for a while due to a motorcycle accident

[@mbikesrulee]

@@RevHiker sorry to hear. I've had my own motorcycles fun, dangerous usually from others, and freeing. Hope you heal up.

[@RevHiker]

@@mbikesrulee thanks bro

[@OldPackMule]

RevHiker ouch, yeah been there. Hope there’s no long term issues. Get well soon. BTW enjoyed the video. Never thought of clamping it upside down. Always whittled away holding edge down.

[@akatsukilina9295]

saved my life lol

[@LiquidRetro]

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks!

[@don0giorgio]

So whats the total price of your wicked edge set up?)

[@RevHiker]

About 500

[@sajadvafaei2284]

so so sharp

[@toml.8210]

All you you did was shorten the blade. I was expecting you to repair the missing, broken piece. I "repair" broken the broken tips of old pocket knife blades in 30 seconds using my bench grinder.

[@halfbaked3373]

I don't get it at around 2 mins 30 it just skips from being a square tip to being pointy, did you grind the back black bit or just sharpen normally, I can get the dge sharp but was looking for this transition and it just skipped to it magically

[@channelwonnews4322]

OH WOW! YOU ACTUALLY GOT THE KNIFE BACK!!! Well You know what I mean; the knife's tip. It looks like it's supposed to come like that from the factory. WOW THAT IS AWESOME!

[@CTLamp]

Pls use your words. ‘Reading about’ what you’re doing and then rewinding to ‘watch’ what you’re doing is a bit repetitive.

[@agateenchantmentrockwizard5969]

Hey really great ideas thanks 😊

[@Shit5308]

I have a microtech combat troodon dagger that was passed on to me when my dad died and it was one of his most cherished knives. Handles in carbon fiber. The blade is a dagger in bronze apocalyptic finish and steel is M-390. I was showing a friend the knife who accidentally dropped it onto my ceramic floor chipping the tip but hardly as badly as that spyderco. I live in Canada where I cannot take the chance of carrying this automatic knife. I don’t have any experience at all in sharpening let alone fixing a double edged dagger point blade. Moreover than the fact I’m inexperienced or priciness of it, I was very close with him and the sentimental value means a lot to me. He just passed at 67 from cancer. Is there any ideas you have that would be a help? I’m afraid to even attempt trying to mess around fixing it. I know dagger ground blades are even difficult to sharpen for people that don’t know what they are doing. Any ideas at all would help a lot. Thanks and nice work you did on that spyderco! The near mirrored polish is stunning.

[@SufferSilent]

This is great. I’m having trouble getting my Para3 back to factory sharpness. I have the Sharpmaker and Worksharp device - I’m just not getting what I need from those two. Any suggestions??

[@DanielBooneSpoon]

dude I have to say that this video is incredible! watching the blade shrink when you speed the video up is pretty damn cool! also thanks for the advice! I came here for tips on how to repair a broken tip...... (obviously)😅

[@jebbus1497]

So I have a Zero Tolerance 0393 Hinderer pocket knife, a tiny piece broke off the tip and you can't hardly see it at all but I can feel the jaggedness when I run my hand across it. What's the best way to go about and fixing it?

[@joseph999amador6]

Thanks.fixed my para 2 thanks to you. I was thinking it would be a harder fix but it didn’t take long to get the tip filed back in 👍🏽

[@matthewwilliams9288]

Broooooo, lmfao...... @ 1:09 I was like jesus what did I do to the speed of the video?! LoOoOoOoL

[@don0giorgio]

Nice! How long did it take?

[@RevHiker]

About 40 min

[@don0giorgio]

@@RevHiker damn, now i feel loke buying wicked edge))

[@delantey]

Awesome job!!! Thanks for posting

[@cadenmcgowan5161]

whats the coincidence that i have the same knife to fix

[@Warmspringsrezbuck]

Can I send my knife to you also? WhT do you charge? It’s also an older spyderco knife?

[@RevHiker]

Sure. Get in touch with me on Instagram @revhiker I'll give you all the info. If you dont do Instagram, you can send me an email at [e-mail]

[@douglasmackellar3875]

Man is this satisfying

[@juliang3995]

Thank you Rev!

[@Bullshot40]

wow....that's impressive!

[@danielwininger2256]

Can you tell me what sharpener you used and possibly where I can get it?

[@danielwininger2256]

Ah ha. I see now the tool is called the wicked edge. I thought that is just what you were calling the edge you put on the knife. Thank you for the video and great job.

[@Nekyinboots]

Good video. God bless.

[@usernick8928]

I love that stropping system

[@kittrainbow7]

Nice video👍

[@nickmiller3796]

Nice save

[@don0giorgio]

Angle is like 15 dps?

[@RevHiker]

I believe this was at 20dps

[@don0giorgio]

@@RevHiker Are you sure? Never was able to get a hair whittling sharp edge at 20 dps)

[@stargod3064]

I’m impressed 👍 I just bought this otf stiletto. One of the coolest looking knives 😎 🔪

[@gregwalker4236]

nice work! subscribed....i don't think i would end up like yours---as a kid, over sixty years ago, i watched my tempermental dad wrestle with building a dingy. as more of the lapstrake broke he was trying to bend to fit the hull, he finally had enough and at the speed of light it was all in the trash. it probably scared me then, but amuses me now as i look back fondly on my father. unfortunately i inherited his distaste for the lack of speedy progress....

[@pappagetti]

Extremely drunk man speaking here: It's easier, faster and MUCH MUCH CHEAPER ( unlesd you have vice lying around the house) to just buy a new one.** you yodnd2m??

[@columbiariverpussycat3769]

Man cool upload. I just got a free super old Buck knife because the tip was busted off. With this video I'll have that thing looking brand new. Thanks!
