[7Storm7]

Very nice man... very innovative. Big fan of this tanto here.

[DeathMetalRegulator]

the thing is a beauty. love the blade shape and whole design, would like to buy one but couldnt afford it, and there would be shipping issues. as i have the impression you live in the US.

anyway love it, keep um coming, would like to see more knife designs from you. peace

[WeaponCollector]

@MrKingtigertank , hehe, it definelty opens bottles.I'll send you some details on the knife.

[blissi2010]

Arfter watching you other video I have to re comment I'm interested in buying one any details would be amazing you have no idea how badly I'll love a one of a kind knife made by you

[WeaponCollector]

@blissi2010 ,Thanks mate, just email you some details, take care.

[redraider5001]

That thing is bad ass any for sale

[WeaponCollector]

@redraider5001 , Yes mate, i'll send you a P.M

[WeaponCollector]

@redraider5001 , Send me an email mate, I'm not sure if the messages i sent are getting sent out, my email is on my page on the left hand side, I'll then send you more details

[AXE2501]

Two things ,1. Is that a mild carbon steel and what grade. 2. I think all knives should have bottle opener for that tactical beer in your EDC. -:3

[WeaponCollector]

@AXE2501 , Not totally sure mate, its definetily some kind of Tool steel, its made from a modern heavey Duty Pry Bar.

[AXE2501]

@WeaponCollector in that case then it most likely a mild tool steel around 45 to 50 on the rockwell scale and it will hold an edge really well when tempered and sharpened

[crypter27]

I'd like to see you make a dagger!

[WeaponCollector]

@crypter27 , I'll certianly try to do a dagger mate, might even try a Kriss Blade, lol.

[crypter27]

@WeaponCollector cool

[gowersponger1]

this is so well made i bloody love it thumbs up mate fucking SUPER job

[WeaponCollector]

@gowersponger1 , Thanks mate, I appreciate that, cheers,

Mike.

[MadBadVoodo]

Looks good my friend!!

[WeaponCollector]

@MadBadVoodo , Thanks Rich.

[Manifold73tube]

I like it. well done. Love the idea of the screw driver.

[WeaponCollector]

@Manifold73tube Thanks mate, glad you liked it,

[wmpyr]

TU! looks really professional, putting all that survival kit under the chord is really brilliant and hopefully will start a new trend with knives like that!

[WeaponCollector]

@wmpyr Thanks wampire, i would love to see more companies do a similar thing, most knives don't add anything to the pommel end other than a lanyard hole,

glad you liked it mate, cheers.

[ArtistBlade1972]

Came out nice man. That is likely something along the lines of a 1050 steel. You need to quench it from a temperature of about 1525 degrees F to harden it. You can temper a knife in an oven, but not harden it...

[WeaponCollector]

@ArtistBlade1972 , Thanks for the tips mate, Yeah, after reading your comment i worked it out, The metal is definetily already hardened, so after grinding all i should need to do is temper it, which i did, and it definetily made a differece. i'll do a video soon.

Mike.

[ArtistBlade1972]

@WeaponCollector Mike, a prybar in its working state has a spring temper which is too soft for a knife blade. Tempering will make it softer. It needs to be re-hardened, then tempered back to the proper hardness.

[nqkoisii]

This is proffesional work.You roock!

[WeaponCollector]

@nqkoisii , Thanks bro, Glad you like it mate, cheers.

[xXxCatsnakexXx]

The oven trick is for tempering, AFTER it's already been hardened, in a forge or whatever -this makes it less hard i.e. makes it tougher. It's a good trick with files -which are too hard/brittle to make a good knife... but a prybar is almost certainly already tougher than a knife.

[WeaponCollector]

@xXxCatsnakexXx Hey mate, Thanks for the tips, Yeah, after reading your comment i worked it out, The metal is definetily already hardened - it has to be if its a pry bar, those fuckers won't ever bend - so after grinding if its kept cool all i should need to do is temper it, which i did, and it definetily made a difference. i'll do a video soon.

[xXxCatsnakexXx]

@WeaponCollector Glad to see it's worked out well Mate and thanks again for the blog tips!

[SkallagrimNilsson]

Looks great! Nice work as usual.

[WeaponCollector]

@SkallagrimNilsson , Thanks Skall, glad you like it mate, by the way, I hope you and Cara have a Good New Year.

[huntingpa12]

i would totaly buy one for the right price! could you also tell me what is the draw length on your 80lb cross bows?

[WeaponCollector]

@huntingpa12 , I'll P.M you about prices. the draw lengthy on my 80lb crossow is 6 inches or there abouts.

[WeaponCollector]

@huntingpa12 Send me an email mate, I'm not sure if the messages i sent are getting sent out, my email is on my page on the left hand side, I'll then send you more details

[angrybuck1]

very cool thanks!

[WeaponCollector]

@angrybuck1 , cheers mate

[z3160200]

Looks good, when I used to make knives, I used to use my Dad's BBQ pit to harden steel.

[WeaponCollector]

@z3160200 , Thanks mate, glad you liked it bro.

[craftymaggot]

That came out really sweet.!

Good job!

[WeaponCollector]

@craftymaggot , cheers mate.

[jmce3]

That is just one mean looking tool. I like alot.

[WeaponCollector]

@jmce3 , glad you liked it mate.

[KTriggerKHappyK6]

Can you own knuckle dusters in the U.K as long as you keep them in your house and don't take them into public places?

[WeaponCollector]

@KTriggerKHappyK6  yes, that is 100% legal.

[camochannel1]

well done Mike. that turned out great. i like how the eye protection printing is on the blade. that is cool.

[WeaponCollector]

@camochannel1 , Thanks Bob, was fun to make, i will try other blade types too, maybe even a Kriss Blade.

[XDM50]

[jumpman5551]

@WeaponCollector many thanks mate

[raindog951]

Looks real slick! That 'safety goggles' warning makes it even cooler!

[WeaponCollector]

@raindog951 haha, glad you liked it Jeff, I thought that was pretty cool too. if i did it the other way it would have said SUMO, lol

[subby7866]

I think it looked better when most of the blade was black and only the edge was silver

[blissi2010]

also mike i would love to know good safe websites the deliver knifes to the uk. at the moment im restricted to amazon cause thasts the only one i know works and is safe and sells knifes

[subby7866]

@blissi2010 try battleorders and there are probably other websites dedicated to knives but can't comment on the reliability I have used battleorders though so I know it's reliable

[blissi2010]

@subby7866 thank you for the help. ive looked at battle orders and it looks good. a lot of rely cool and interesting stuff on their

[WeaponCollector]

@blissi2010 , yeah like subby said - battleorders are good, also BKCG .com, and stringtownsupplies, coldsteel u.k should be good too.

[blissi2010]

@WeaponCollector thank you too. their is so much more i can look at now. Oh and keep up the good videos that tanto turned out amazing. would love one for my self it looks like it would last a life time.

[zednotzee7]

@blissi2010 Have a look at Heinnie Haynes site. They have lots of good knives on there. All the well known brands and good prices as well,plus they are cheaper than the official Cold Steel website for Cold Steel knives, and free delivery. I've used them quite a lot, and can recomend them (no, I don't work for them in case you wondered, lol). .

[smelpyou]

Hey Mate, I just wanted to let you know that I got a really nasty virus from your blog. Check it out or have someone check it out for you. Sorry for the bad news...

[WeaponCollector]

@smelpyou , are you sure it was my blog, i know theres lots of ads, thats my work,lol, did you click a link from a comment?

[blissi2010]

i would buy one of you any day i had the money witch i will a lot around Christmas please more info on how to buy one of you soon =)

[BlowDevilUp]

I thought you might put a guard (hilt) on it. What happened?

[WeaponCollector]

@BlowDevilUp , Could still do a gaurd mate, one that slides on, would be easy to do at any time.

Mike.

[billsykes75]

Oi that come out a blinder Mike mate!:-)

[WeaponCollector]

@billsykes75 , Cheers mate, glad you liked it Bill.

[mike631798]

do you buy the prybars from screwfix?

i noticed they were selling extremily cheaply in the sale

[WeaponCollector]

@mike631798 , Yeah, cheap as hell on there aren't they.

[tetsubo57]

I always find it amusing when a survival knife has a bottle opener included. Because in a survival situation, nothing is more important than having a beer. Nicely done Mike.

[MrHookystig]

Have you ever thought of making a kukri??

[WeaponCollector]

@MrHookystig , I would definetly try to do a kukri, but not with this metal, wouldn't be big enough, but i'll look into it.

Mike.
