00:00okay what we got here let's have a look yep okay what we've got here is a buck
00:07it did not come with a ferro rod this came from the DBK inspired Chinese knife
00:19I said I was going to find a new home for it and here we go
00:24all right this is the buck and I have to say that this handle is small okay when I put my hand on
00:40there like this okay you can see my meat is hanging out both sides all right that's how small that grip
00:50is there is freaking overhang okay my hand is doing a little bit of overhang on it
00:57it really wanted about 10 millimeters more from front to back
01:04uh it really did pinch at the back and at the front so your hand felt really really crowded
01:12I put it on the belt sander and I rolled off the tail
01:22so that it doesn't pinch and I rolled off the front here I don't know if we can see that it's been
01:27rolled off and rolled off at the back and what that does it's no longer pinches
01:35it still feels like a really tiny little grip that was meant for maybe women or children but anyway
01:46the other thing I did while I was doing it was I ground the spine to make it crispy
01:54I also flattened the saber grind because on one side here it's not flat there's a hollow there
02:04I tried flattening it out and I can't do it it's still hollow there I run my finger over there and
02:10it's just a little bit of a hollow there so yeah the edge let's see if we can grab that edge there
02:21we'll try and show you the edge okay the the blade was not very central to grind so it's ground off to one
02:32side a little bit we can fix that while we resharpen it over time so not the end of the world but
02:44pretty average pretty average for a buck
02:47so very very average build
02:59it is pretty sharp now like I said 18 degrees
03:17is
03:29so
03:31it's
03:31so
03:38so
03:41Let's go.
04:11Alright, we've reached a failure point I think.
04:41Okay.
04:57Okay.
05:20Okay.
05:21Quick and dirty wood strop has got it back slicing again.
05:27Feels alright.
05:29It took a little bit of hair off my arm.
05:44It's a bit of a clean spot there now.
05:48So the apex may have deformed.
05:53So...
06:00Let's go.
06:15Let's go.
06:30Let's go.
06:45Okay.
06:46Pretty average at that.
06:49Just a little bit average.
07:04Picking up a lot of corrugations there.
07:23Spines are alright I think.
07:30No.
07:31I'm not picking up a lot of corrugations there.
07:37No.
07:38No.
07:39I'm not picking up a lot of corrugations there.
07:54It doesn't stick in the wood.
08:22It kind of has a tendency to find a little rough spot and it just bounces right out.
08:29So you do that.
08:31There you see.
08:32Just a little bit of a rough spot and it just bounces right out of the wood.
08:37A good scan.
08:38A good scan you would just keep rolling, keep biting the wood but this thing keeps bouncing
08:44out.
08:45So...
08:46Yeah.
08:47Pretty average.
08:48Pretty average.
08:50Not the best piece of wood in the world but still.
09:03Let's move this off to one side just a little bit.
09:16There we go.
09:17There's some room for my hand.
09:22There we go.
09:23That's gum tree for you.
09:24That should have lit up.
09:29So it does very good on the ferro rod because it has a very crispy spline.
09:52The gym thing though.
09:57Geez.
09:58People need to stop doing that.
10:11That's a phenomenal rest of it.
10:12Look at a regular start to drive.
10:16Make videos accessible for us.
