Can you do a review on Cutco knives? I was hired and trained to sell their knives, but after a bit of research, I found out that the company has a very sketchy history, and now I'm on the fence on whether I should stay with Cutco. I'm actually job hunting as I'm typing this comment.

[@gtrzero2157]

Hey kyle!!! Love the craftsmanship, would love to see ya do another run of chefs knives, I don't camp but I cook and would love to purchase your work. Cheers from Southern California!

[@Xxxero42]

OMG That is beautiful!!

[@YippeeKiYayMrFalcon]

For collectors of R.H. Ruana knives, leaving a knife such as this one in its original as-found condition, with its original factory grind marks, and many years of worn finish is the best way to retain the absolute most value in the knife. This restoration is impressive, and the knife is more beautiful now (in some people's eyes) but unfortunately it has now lost value to many collectors. Just something to keep in mind. Also, some people see the beauty in a knife that retains its original finish, wear marks, scratches, etc as it tells a story of history and how it was used over its lifetime as a useful tool. They are only original once!

[@lalli8152]

Yeah i personally love the vintage knife patina as long its not actual rust. Kyle also just did what the client wants, and im sure the client will be extremely happy. I have never before heard this company, and the knife looks really cool. Over here i dont find lot of old american knives from flea markets, and so on, but definetly will pick one up if im lucky enough to come across one.

[@Yaridnac]

BEAUTIFUL WORK Kyle!!!! The client is gonna love it!!!!

[@williammrdeza9445]

Beautiful job, Kyle. As you noted, it looked like a lot of work but the end result is spectacular! I am sure you will have a happy client.

[@timothygross5593]

Kyle, this video just brought back a ton of memories from my childhood. I grew up about 2 to 3 hours south of Bonner. All the old cowboys and woodsmen had the kind of knife you were working on. They loved these knives for the rugged look and the over all durability. That being said, you did an outstanding job on that knife. I have always wanted to see what one would look like all polished up, and you sir made it look absolutely stunning!

[@huckjones9521]

the handle looks cool

[@tombostian8255]

Kyle,You are truly an artist! Definitely God given talent.

[@rocko.2007]

The before and after on this piece is totally awesome Kyle. That blade was seriously rough condition…. Look at er now. Love the videos Kyle and lovely work!!

[@lalli8152]

Yeah it was amazing workmanship. I personally like the old blades when they have patina, and well look old, but its personal preference thing. The client wanted mirror polish, and Kyle definetly delivered just beautiful job

[@Antiliblife187]

Ruana knives are my personal favorite made in the great state of Montana. My old man had one gifted to him back in the 80s and I have never seen another knife that comes even close to the quality of Ruana. They are extremely valuable especially the old ones made from Studebaker leaf springs.

[@gesarts3625]

That is unreal. Beautiful!!

[@BrianRust89]

Great video man I love the restorations! I love grilled corn are used to cook mine just like that until my grandmother suggested another way. Leave the husk on the corn soak it in water for a couple hours before grilling then grill it slow and it will steam and you still get the smoky flavor. Then you can remove the husk and char it if you like that. Great video man keep up the good work

[@kyle_noseworthy]

I just might have to try that, Brian! Thanks to you and your grandmother for the suggestion.

[@Bobb1julie]

I feel honoured Kyle that I started following you long ago when 100000 subscribers was only a dream. I just have that instinct to pick out something , someone who is a cut above.. You are the man , and pleased to be in your company going forward.. What a restoration effect.. I had to set my cell phone down and put on my sunglasses 😎 It was blinding me..LOL Did I miss utubes plaque that they sent to you.. You should have it displayed on the wall as a reminder.. Your Bakeapple cuts a mean chunk out of my prime ribs….To be continued..

[@kyle_noseworthy]

That's so kind, Mr. Peck. It's great to hear from you. You didn't miss the plaque. I didn't show it on camera. The video I did announcing the 100k milestone did very poorly, indicating that people just don't give a hoot (haha).. so I decided against another video speaking on the topic. It's sitting here nice a pretty on my shelf though. Very exciting. Enjoy those ribs!

[@philosophusbellator]

Beautiful mirror polish on that fixed blade. Kyle, with all respect - I love the blade shape on the O-Knife. It's reminiscent of a trailing point Persian style, yet still a clip point. I've never been a fan of thumb holes in the blade (not a Spyderco guy), but I'd make an exception for this one. Great video, man!

[@MR_Mocha_Major]

Gorgeous!

"a LOT of work.", said the knife man who is accustomed to 'lot of work' type projects. Sure looked amazing in the 'after' pics. Thanks !

[@troybranaman316]

That was a alot of work on the knife you worked on !! The O-Knife was really nice too . Im with you on the clip point and where the jimping is .I hope you and your family are doing well !! Great video as always Kyle! Take care and stay safe my friend!

[@lalli8152]

Yeah if this knife would not have had clip point i would have seriously liked it. I personally like more of drop point, and when the tip of the knife is more or less centered with the handle. Those are just personal preference things, and maybe o knife have already different designs or in future as well.

[@famasmaster2000]

Kyle, I will be right over for dinner !! 😆 That bbq looked awesome 👌 That finished knife was absolutely gorgeous. Such patience shown and attention to detail, Wow. Like I said before, next level workmanship. Awesome brother ! Blessings to you and yours 🙏

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Haha you just let me know when you're in the area, and I'll fire up the grill buddy!

[@WATTYATHINK]

Being a Maritimer I feel the need to caution you Atlantic Province folks... about how you handle your knife! I noticed when you opened the packaging you cut toward yourself (danger/danger). My grandfather cautioned me when he gave me my first pocket knife - to always cut toward your friends. That way you will never cut yourself. Good advice I say. As some others have mentioned I also love BBQ corn as well but gave up grilling it without the husk. Soaking it for an hour or so, pull the tassels off and load up with butter salt, and pepper then grill with the husk on, no worry about scorching the corn, the husk takes all the damage -- heaven. Great video. Checked out the EDC and they have a sale starting in 3 days from this date.

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Hmm, perhaps I'll try that buddy! Sounds great. As for cutting the packaging, I'll continue with my habits. haha I would prefer it, being a person who regularly has little toddlers buzzing around me.

[@WATTYATHINK]

@@kyle_noseworthy ✅✅You'll not be disappointed with BBQ'ing corn in the husk. Just remember to soak well and pull the tassels off first - less mess on the BBQ.

I know Rudy Ruana was a legend and pioneer of of custom knife making, and had his own unique style that nobody else does!! That being said Ive never been impressed with RH Ruana fit and finish, the modern ones have a bit better fit and finish now adays, but nothing like what you did!! This is the full potential of the design and boy is it a beauty!!!! Nice work Kyle!!!

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Thanks for the input buddy! Very cool to hear more about them. I'll agree in saying the fit and finish on this knife isn't perfect, but a beautiful knife still. Very cool piece

[@alme6743]

@@kyle_noseworthy Yes Rudy's process involves casting molten aluminum on the tang for the handle in case you didnt know, dont think any other maker does this! I think Cooper knives have cast guards though. Very cool part of custom knife making history!

[@arquloc0893]

Hey Kyle, very random question. Which lapping stones do you use for shapton glass stones? I bought a 220 Grit yesterday and have done 3 knives now, i already see quite a dishing, noticed it too late. Do you have a list of your current favourite stones and lapping stones? :)

How long does the corn take on the grill? I have been craving some and have never tried grilling it. That customer should be very happy. You did an amazing job on that knife.

Rudy Ruana was the first full time knife maker from Bonner Montana. Super collectable! You can send the knife to the Ruana shop and have it recondition and authenticated. Ruanas are my favorite collectable hand made knife!

Hey my friend how much would you charge to mirror polish two western 49 bowie knives for me my friend, awesome channel,

[@chrisssmallengines7163]

Hey Buddy , great video love the knives , but I still Like your knives better . Another way of cooking the corn , is to leave on the husk of the corn and soak them in a sink of water for an hour or so then cook over fire or BBQ . Like you said it makes nice sweet tasting corn steamed in its own juices. The husk will take any charring , and when you peel back the husk it makes a nice handle to hold your corn with while it is hot . Great Food .

that extra stuff in the pouch must be extra screws since they do losen and fall out, unlike pins that are there for the duration. no offense intended but pins are better lock backs are better than liner locks and those pocket clips? how's the back of your hand feel when you have to dig past that in your pocket for change for the toll booth or something else?

[@darreldwalton8763]

Those were made by the Olld man. They were butt ugly when new, but, oh, Brother, did they work. There was no "model", each one was a work of art. He used to bring them in to Great Falls when he'd get a batch made up, and sell 'em at Skaggs Drug Store up on 10th Ave. So. when I was stationed there in the 70's at Malmstrom AFB. I'd heard he forged them from truck springs, and preferred Studebaker. When the Old Man passed, there was a definite lapse, and a distinct difference in the blades the Sons made and sold. Hope you didn't over restore a valuable old original Ruana!

I know Mike Randall who is Bo's grandson also the Randall shop forman Scott Maynard. Nowhere in Randall history is Mr Rudy Ruana mentioned. Could you possibly be thinking of Bill Scagel? Bo based his early work on what Mr Scagel had done. Also remember that Scagel barely talked to Randall when they met. The Randall family has the largest collection of Scagel knives, I've seen it at the Randall museum.
