Thank God you're back on youtube. Please keep the videos coming.

[@joshuaqueen9675]

be prepared to be disappointed.

[@TeamVYRacing]

Yeah be prepared to be disappointed haha So sporadic with YT

[@DRskayker]

My friend recently started working with you guys (he's the one behind you cleaning and photographing) and he can not speak highly enough about working there. I can see why now, keep up the good work and I hope you guys continue to grow and prosper! (400K subscribers here we come!)

[@res1492]

Freebies!!...you lucky barstool

[@peejay1981]

Your friend's got up and gone home for the day meanwhile John's still there chatting away bragging about how good everyone is! :)

[@jogyj]

i love the "Quarantined Shop Life " the most just you and the camera so don't worry about the video quality. I think we are all happy that you are making videos. Love to have you back.

[@derekzimmerman2522]

Glad to see you're still making videos! Always nice to see what you have going on.

[@rdlalf]

As the proud owner of the beautifully customized Rask #8 and 2 Norseman knives I have to congratulate you and your brother for the development of Grimsmo Knives ! Greetings from AUSTRIA !!!

[@luke1811]

Bist du narrisch hätt schwören können i warad der einzige hier aus Österreich :D

Bloody hell, he’s back!! 😂 Great to see you making another YT vid John

[@texasermd1]

Buy no Syil machines… 😂 jk

[@MrRctintin]

@@texasermd1 would be so cool if he got a Syil X7 as well.

[@2873lonewolf]

Thanks John, appreciate the transparency of your business function. I'm up to 4 Norsemans now and can't wait to get another. Like many other knife nuts out there, I wish Grimsmo would start using Magnacut and HT to 63-65 hrc. I don't have any issues with your RWL-34, just looking for that next step up in performance.

[@nitsn_france]

John was such a huge inspiration and motivation when it came to starting my own business. I remember telling everyone who knew a little bit about manufacturing on youtube : "I want to become something between John Grimsmo and Mtmwood" and people were like what, you want to start producing tomatoes ? (John makes knives, and mtmwood makes CNC cutting boards...). 6 years later the company is growing and I still abide by the principles that I got from John's vlogs : work hard, never give up, never lower your standards, invest in tools, always aim for better. It definitely pays off in the end. Thanks John for being that someone I needed to look up to.

[@alexanderr6106]

🎉🎉🎉 a new video! Nice quality video and basic overview. I really hope you do more of them. Maybe think about doing a second "vlog" Channel with lower Quality videos 🤔 Missing the covid vlogs

[@DaybidLay]

Jeez i remember when you were posted a video of you machining a superman logo for your nephew and anodized it green. I remember when you and your brother were figuring out how to properly machine the fixture to make manix 2 scales. it's so nuts to see how far you and your brother have gone.

[@bcbloc02]

Just seeing the Kern makes me happy. 😊

[@Alicordparacord]

We have three different Norseman and 2 Rasks. We love all of them and seen the differences between the Norseman

[@paulmills426]

If you ever want to part with a rask I'm your guy. Lol. One of these days I'll have a rask. Lol.

[@Alicordparacord]

@@paulmills426 I will keep it in mind if Jeff ever decides to sell one.

[@paulmills426]

@@Alicordparacord thank you Alice. You da woman. Lol..

[@flikflak24]

here is a little tip that i found out my self after some experience under the rubber gloves ( that i say the finishing guys use in the video ) have a pair of white fabric gloves on beneath them where the top/edge of the fabric cloves is above the robber ones. it allowed your hand sweat to transfer up to the air as well as premote some air down into the clove as well as minimising the risk of develping rubber/latex allergy. also my personal ( and the machine workshop i work in ) recomendation in gloves would clearly be wurth's " Black Nitrile Gloves "

[@BaronVonBeef]

I'll be perfectly honest with you as someone who started watching in the early days, I kinda felt abandoned and left behind when you stopped uploading regular videos. I'm glad you're putting more out here, I always wanted to support you by buying a knife but by the time I could justify purchasing one the prices were raised, Maybe another day.

[@polomarknot17]

I waited 15 months on the waitlist for a Saga. I finally received it a few months ago and absolutely love it! It has such a great feeling and I don't think I'll ever stop appreciating the quality.

[@glass1258]

I’ve been on the list for almost 3 years . Total garbage . I don’t even want it anymore

[@AnonZero0]

*I appreciate this long form detailed show--more of these would be good--many people appreciate the detail. And those who do not--can fast forward.*

[@cnc-ua]

Missed your videos at KZbin Would be cool to see more of shop work, but given the fact you have new machines and high demand I can understand that it could be not a priority Thank you for this one.

[@DeDeNoM]

So cool to see my sticker is still holding on to the Kern. Looking forward to see more updates form your shop

[@nickronin9618]

Guys watching you from the start I'm very proud for what you achieved greetings from Greece!

[@flagdrones]

Dude, you’re knives are right up my mountain. I can’t wait until my Noreseman shows up.

[@tmdarkansas]

I have a norseman that I bought a couple of years ago. It's in my pocket every day, and it's a wonderful knife. Hopefully, it will be passed down for generations.

[@scottgrafton68]

Out of all the people in the world, you're the one i envy the most. Your job is my dream but i lack whatever it takes to do it myself

[@RossWrock]

I think it's about time for another Grimsmo product. I'd love to see a small fixed blade, a keybar-type product, or an innovative multi-tool (with perhaps just a blade, some scissors that don't suck, and a driver. No corkscrew/woodsaw/can openers/etc.)

[@Dan_Murphy]

Dude, I was just thinking about you guys the other day! I started watching back when you were working out of your garage. Really glad you guys are still making knives!

[@Abadguyy]

Hi John and team all the way from remote India, last I watched your videos was around 7 years ago and I am soo happy to see you guys succeeding

[@sscadcam]

Awesome! It really has been a pleasure getting to know you since 2015 and see where you guys have grown to this day! Can't wait to come and check out the new facility one day!

[@bladeswelove]

I just noticed you guys using your old Ti scrap handles as your Anode for your Ano tank. Too funny!

[@YouCollect]

I had the opportunity to visit the Kern factory. Super interesting how their machines are built and manufactured. You would like that

[@Seaward1224]

I’m proud to support a Canadian fine knife maker and yes I’m Canadian. Not impressed that no one responds to my email however when I asked about purchasing one of your knives from you in stock inventory however. I bought a second hand knife because the careless impression I received doesn’t sit well with me when I’m ready to spend almost $2000 and $300 in tax. Not cool guys!

[@dylanhostetler2648]

I’ve been following you guys from the beginning, I can’t believe how far you’ve come, you should be soo proud of what you’ve built! It is one of my life goals to own at least your Grimsmo and rask. Keep it up!

[@scotturquhart4380]

I was making double corner endmills 40 yrs. ago for race car products that I manufactured.

[@ReclusiveMountainMan]

Looking forward to the future content. I have two Norsemans, one Rask, and one Saga and love all them. Carried my old Norseman (made in Feb 2020) everyday during the first year of the pandemic--spraying it down daily with 70% alcohol after shifts. Keep up the good work.

[@95dodgev10]

This is exciting. I'm now running a large fermat cnc 4 axis boring mill and this channel is one of the knowledge sources that helped me understand and figure out this machine. Its amazing the little nuggets of info that people like you share that one day I'm trying to solve a problem and I'm like hmm.. i saw so and so do this lets try that and it works. In a way channels like your's have actually allowed our whole shop to grow because I've pushed us into the cnc era and continue to show everyone what's possible in our specific niche and shop. In a handful of years we have gone from an all manual shop fudging and making with what we have to now we have a hurco vmx50 mill, a hurco tm18li lathe, and the fermat boring mill with a much much larger machine purchase on the horizon.

[@adrianzbaeren]

Hi Grimsmo-Team! I‘m watching your videos allmost since the beginning! I do absolutely love to watch and „feel“ the „Grimsmo mentality“ which stives for perfection! You guys are one of the few who inspired me to start my own shop together with a good friend here in switzerland. We do job shop work (mostly series between 250 and 1’000 pieces). Thank you guys for the effort you’re putting in creating videos with so much knowlegde and fascinating content! I do really appreciate that! I wish all of you a nice summer! Stay safe and healthy!

[@stevendominy1737]

I’m a hard core believer in Grimsmo bros been watching from the beginning and I’m finally getting a Rask keep up the strive for perfection love you guys

[@zenonbambarya7844]

Finally, glad to see you alive

[@charlesdevere]

My Norseman is my fidget for sure haha. I bring it with me when I am going to be in a big group of people. Not only a conversation starter but helps keep my sanity. Thanks for making such amazing knives, and pen. I will own a saga some day.

[@NickShabazz]

Great video, and keep up the good work.

[@EastyUK]

Congrats mate on where you are, having manufacturing capability and understanding the how to design for it is a joy. Been watching for a long time and being an aerospace designer for 25yrs it’s great to see people experience the aspects of understanding tolerances and the capabilities various of manufacturing. One day I be able to treat myself to a rask and it’ll be all the more valuable to own and use watching the videos for so long!.Excited to see what’s coming!

[@tawharanui5011]

One of the best marketing video series of knife making.

[@russtuff]

Glad to see you're still at it.

[@knifetech101]

I’ve watched every video you’ve ever produced and just saying we love the uncut videos of you doing random things around the shop.

[@GlassImpressions]

Yes!!! Thank you for the video! Make more videos!!!!

[@brandonrichardson5123]

Can Not Wait For The 3rd Grimsmo Knife Someday

[@hubrechtpeeters644]

Thanks for the video. Gives me the appetite to save up for a Rask. Thank you for the great vibes.

[@BerndFelsche]

Good to see you back and still in the pursuit of excellence. But what's with the dot in the R of RASK engraved on the hidden inside edge?

[@k74320]

ive got #176 . Wish I was going to blade to see how far they have come

[@mmcnama4]

Can you please do a video on your photography setup and workflow? I have a similar challenge and would love to know more.

[@EDLuke246]

I have a few of your saga pens. I’d love a Rask but they just wouldn’t be easy to import to the UK. Man I love the pens though.. I use one every single day and whenever I’m feeling de-motivated or tired it’s a reminder that someone in Canada worked their arse off to make the pen I’m using, so I need to up my game. Big fan of what you’re doing team Grimsmo ✌🏼

[@hassiaschbi]

Your videos are awesome, but your podcast is a stable inspiration every week! I can't thank you enough for giving this amount of insight into your and Johns business and their challenges. I follow your progress since 2012 and its just amazing what you achieved!

[@TrustNoOne88]

Nick really helped put you guys on the map. But your experience and excellent precision work is really what made you big.

[@bcbloc02]

John S does a consistent video everyweek. You will have to at least double that to catch up! Doesn't have to be a long video something you can touch on for 5 minutes that is flashy would probably draw them in! Of course then again my channel is a 1/3 the size of yours so I probably don't give good advice. LOL

[@adriannuske]

I remember when you guys were to ship the FIRST batch! amazing journey... and tidier haircut, IMA! Congratulations!!👏👏👏

[@ianagos4276]

man ive been watching you and nyc cnc for 8-10 years now and I used to love your videos. Glad you plan on making some more. ive grown my shop aswell but im a little behind your curve. Would love to see more stuff. i cant afford your knives im too busy spending all my money on capto tooling for my new machine lol

[@cameronchicken8439]

5:22 just a second ago it showed the lock bar side of the norseman and i don’t know what it takes exactly like maybe an EMT milling machine or something but i’ve seen a knife recently where the cut in the frame which makes the frame lock was super thin and it was so pleasing to my eye that i was disappointed when i saw the norseman and it had a regular sized gap all the way around the lock…. you should figure out how to do that

[@SuperAgentman007]

Next you need to come out with a bright LED flashlight made with aircraft aluminum with the Grismo icon on it

[@tajhendry9798]

I literally "watch tv flipping my Norseman"!

[@TheMillieSmalls]

Make more videos and document the process on that new integral and you’ll see the subscriber numbers POP

[@tonylorentzen]

YES! Another video - and a commitment to make even more. Love it! Been following along since knifemaking tuesdays back 11 or 12 years ago and seeing your success literally chokes me up. Well done, guys!

[@tonylorentzen]

Btw. I remember when that guy at tactical keychains used to talk sh*t about you and how buying the Mori was going to bankrupt you... well - look at you know :-)

[@Sjaak_PD1SRM]

great to see a video again after a long time. keep filming, it is always interesting to see the things about the shop and the products. great job.

[@lord.needham]

Thanks for the look! Amazing stuff.

[@TheTsunamijuan]

So good to see a video from you. Hope you decide to make more. Cause your business, journey and knowledge are such a inspiration.

[@beak90sfx]

I’ve been following you guys for like 10 years. Keep up the great work! One note that would be cool to fix, it seems like the kerning on your engravings is not quite perfect. Despite being made on a Kern 😊

[@SeanHodgins]

Its crazy(and well deserved) what you have accomplished! Viral video idea, world smallest pocket knife. Scale one of your CAD models down to 20th the size, I think the Kern could handle it. We'll get you those 500k subs in no time.

[@MrMaxymoo22]

Don't get him started on that rabbit hole. He's already got a laser obsession. He's going to be vaporizing away silicon to make 50 atom long pocketknives. Lol

Good to see you! “Knife Making Tuesdays”

[@davidcashin9194]

Fantastic to see you back and the catch up I think the last video was the commissioning of a used machine. How did that go and did it fit THE GRISMO. You must have poured some serious time into the business.

[@stevendominy1737]

Oh I watch all the videos more videos please can’t say enough good about Grimsmo brother knives

[@dingus153]

I feel like your products are akin to fine swiss watches. Sure there are cheaper products that will do the same job, but the engineering and finishing that goes into them is what warrants the cost of the product. Also like a fine swiss watch, they're well outside of my price range lol

[@JamilFerguson]

... I see the Rask everywhere but for sale...lol ... *Cries in the corner*

[@RossiDeakin0406]

Looking forward to learning the project progress and hopefully seeing you guys smash the sub count, Saunders is now officially the hunted an Grimsmo seems like the hungry hunter, lol😂 Im buzzing with anticipation as this UK fan needs his Grimsmo fix back in my life,🤩😁 Happy days are here again 🤞🙏👌👍👏🍻

Do a random buyer's choice. The random is great until you finally get chosen once a year and there's 8 choices of purple or yellow (or choose whatever color you don't like at all).

[@hodanotyoda]

Hey John, I’ve been watching your channel for a while now and love your passion for your craft. I remember watching one of your episodes where you showed your ride so I think you guys are somewhat of a car guy. Since you have all the machines and material, a new product idea would be to make Titanium shift knob for cars. I drive a FK8 Civic Type R and would love to have Grimsmo shift knob. What do you think?
