Kawał ładnego noża. Podoba mi się.

[@lairdcummings9092]

This is the first time I've seen the teeth of the file used as the grip/handle. Beautiful and practical at the same time. Brilliant!

[@abezzed]

I wish someone would make a file out of an old knife

[@happyhippie1957]

I made a pallet out of a coffee table I found by the side of the road.

[@rob-artfarmingnz6138]

😂

[@barnabyhopegrant6607]

Absolute master at this . The lines on that knife are sublime

[@MercutioUK2006]

Yeah, it's stellar work and no mistake. Gorgeous :)

[@synthetictruth671]

Never seen such an even cut with a grinder

[@Ben-dp4pr]

The most beautiful file knife I've ever seen

[@owenknives3970]

Koss, you were one of the people who helped me get into making knives, and eventually to start my own knifemaking channel on KZbin! So big thank you, and I always love seeing your work. Keep it up

[@amtvchile]

I would love to start making them, how can I start? What do you recommend?

[@owenknives3970]

@@amtvchile I recommend you watch as many of kisses videos as you can, as well as green beetle red beard ops, dies in every film customs, and any other videos you find. They don't have to be tutorials, just observe. Then I would grab as many tools as you have and see if you can replicate what they've done with your own tools. On my channel I use a lot of common tools, so maybe check it out. And don't be in a hurry, getting as good as koss takes years, im 2 or 3 years in and I'm still getting the basics down

[@johnhoward3271]

That right there is one B E A U T I F U L knife ( best use for a file I ever saw other than it's original intended purpose ) !!!!

[@decaysaypluhtheyst]

One of the best looking file knives I've seen.

[@yizhuolin3906]

while every knifemaker is using that texture on the blade, you managed to keep it on the tang for a reason. I love your critical thinking.

[@tangentarc7477]

Keeping the file surface, for the grip, is a nice touch. Great idea.

[@angelbenitez281]

love it, and this has convinced me that I can use thicker steel for knives. Im a welder and amateur knife maker but the thinnest metal I can usually get is 1/4 inch steel but man that blade looks amazing with that thickness

[@Sawtooth70]

That is one of the coolest knifes I’ve ever seen. Brilliant. 😍

[@homevideosforkids5527]

Absolutely fantastic. Love the handle

[@pjhalchemy]

I love the shape of this one from tip to butt. Very Classy the way you blended the choil, ricasso and bolster! Looks well balanced too. Thanks Koss for another fabulous build! Happy Holidays!!!

[@FearsomeWarrior]

Reminds me of the big knife Jimmy Diresta made. Using the file texture on the handle is such a great way to keep and add the style. Looks so rugged and functional. Definitely appeals to the manly man and mechanical/machine style. Love Jimmy’s knife and I love yours. Like many comments say, your lines/design are amazing. A knife company commissioning a design from you makes perfect sense to me.

[@hungrycolby]

Oh my! That is absolutely beautiful work!

[@timurnizamov1127]

OMG a knifemaker sharpens his knifes correctly on KZbin! WOW!

[@Wilsonbuildsthings]

I like that the files that he uses to file the file into a knife will inevitably be turned into a file knife lol

[@user-oi2dx1yo8s]

Koss делает пожалуй самые оригинальные ножи

[@dariob.3773]

Gorgeous knife. What a great idea !

[@adamyorke7869]

I think that may be the best looking knife from a file I've seen yet.

[@maazahmed46647]

Most unreal blacksmith work,no blacksmith tools but engineering workshop machinery.

[@rus333.]

Отличная работа! Привет из Беларуси!

[@LincesaMiko]

Amazing work, looks fantastic! 💖

[@Wengelsworkshop]

Such a cool take on a knife from a file. Great job!

[@redblade8160]

Now you have a knife and a file all in one!

[@freedom793]

This knife deserves a leather case ! Amazing work!

[@connort7497]

Beautiful shape. Very elegant.

[@emmettwalsh6901]

I would love a set of kitchen knives like this.

[@emilnord]

A beautiful knife again. Like the shape. Great work!

[@CocoBeanFPV]

By far the nicest file knife I've ever seen. I never thought to leave the teeth as grip texture.

[@geraldstamour1312]

It's fascinating to⌚a master of one's craft, especially when it comes to repurposing old tools!

[@ekim000]

Beautifully proportioned!

[@tinsoldier5621]

Another beautiful and fascinating project. One thing i would have done, especially after after watching your thumb sliding, is some mild thumb jimping.

[@threeomgthree]

I LOVE the handle. Thats genius right there dude.

[@chalkeater1427]

Wow, I wish it only took me 8 minutes and 4 seconds to make a knife like that

[@eyeofbass]

It’s perfect and no pieces to break off or to damage.

[@MakersMovementDIY]

That is a super unique way to make a file knife, very original and probably one of the coolest that I have seen. Probably going to have do this myself.

[@philholman8520]

You are the business when it comes to art, craft, design and practicality. Yet another wonderful piece of work!!!✌️👍🔥

[@voodoo7008]

Nice. Came with scales already installed.

[@praveencg4025]

Wow , I am amazed with your skill set. Keep going.

[@Anmobgoccult20]

Well done, wonderful and perfect, you are a great craftsman and engineer, respect from me, from old BG.
