Applying a little molly powder with an acid brush helps too. I didn't mind the cost because i like AvEs channel and it was a good way help support him.

The bigger the gob the better the job

I bought one too and agree with most of your observations I enjoyed the assembly and cleanup part

Nice job. Thank you for the review.

A thing of beauty is a joy to behold.

Just got the email an hour ago to say my knife has shipped, WOOHOO! Thanks for the assembly tips....and only for a second.

Great Video, thank you. Great description of how someone who uses these knives often evaluates them. I'm just using it to cut up boxes, and I realize I'm way overpaying, but I don't mind supporting a YT channel that I've enjoyed watching for a long time makes it worthwhile (I have no use for stickers, mugs, etc.)

I flushed and polished my outer edges too, came out really nice. You can also easily flush the protruding screws too, that's what I did. Finally slightly rounded and polished the corner edges, feels great. Well done and regards.

Nice to see one still waiting for my knife

AvE's production guy could make the blade spacers from thinner materials to tighten things up but then it runs the risk of being too tight if someone uses a thicker blade or gunk gets built up in there.

I like that you gave it a fair shake... it's nice to see constutive criticism without totally bashing.. good video. And yes I like AVE.

Absolutely love ave. Could not be more happy seeing an honest tool review. That's the reason we watched ave 2 start with. Good job on your review.

Great clip. Thank you. Would the outside layered edges turn out better if the bulk of the edge sanding was done after assembly? I will try that.

There is a lot of blade play, i wonder if sanding down the titanium guides a bit would help…kinda risky might make it way to tight.

Just put mine together last Friday, it’s surprisingly skookum. Contemplating some color on the layers.

I just got mine in the mail, I think of it more like merch but instead of a novelty t shirt its a tool I can use to cut boxes.

Its like building a model as a kid. You more time that you spend prepping each part before assembly, the better the completed product is.

If you have an auto tumbler with appropriate media it will put a perfect finish on the material and save almost all that sanding. I say almost as it will still need fine tuning here & there. Fantastic tool.

When can I buy one at Cambodian Tire?

She's a beauty anna Bonnie anna joy to behold... said some famous KZreadr somewhere.

Graphic illustration of "the other part of the machine shop" that is rarely talked about-Deburring! It's often done by hand and is absolutely necessary to get the fit and finish that is expected of machine parts and assemblies.

If a couple of shims could make up that blade wobble this would be a nice knife. I like the heavyweight aspect of it.

As a laser operator I see things about how this kit was cut that kinda grate against my standards. The cut lead-ins (little divots on the side of the parts) should have been on an inside facing edge or the end of the part and the bridges on the two spacers could have been much thinner for easier cleanup. Speaking of clean up, the operator could have gave the parts a gentle wipe when the slag was hot and it mostly would have brushed off, or refine the cut to reduce how much is produced in the first place. Whining aside, you've done a great job cleaning it up and I love the idea of the knife but these small changes wouldn't have cost any production time to result in a better finished product.

+1 for a belt clip and rounding off edges a bit

Is there a 3d printable version?

Love mine only thing it needs is a pocket clip

The one thing that I wasn't sure about on this is if it could be assembled ambidextrous or not, it seems like it could with the swapping of panels?

Got mine put together too. I am going to peen the screws over on the backside once I make sure I never want to open it again.

I just learned I had to confirm order number with phone number… I hope I end up with one… I ordered the instant they were available.

I've got a sneaking suspicion that you're going to get quite a few views on this; it popped up, and I'm not even looking for it.

That's a fun knife but for thoes who don't want to spend that much and want a ridiculous heavy sturdy 25mm snap knife look into tajima acm-700c even on board blade storage. Something a little lighter yet still stupid strong tajima ac-700s and it comes in many styles of locks and colors. 👍

I’ve never seen them in stores around me. I order them online. 25mm or 1” snap-off blades

Is it the best knife, no. Is it cool as hell, yes. does it make sense, no. But, for all the laughs and education ive received from watching Ave's channel, i bought one immediately. Also, took me about 10 minutes to assemble. Make cool shit and put it on tinternet.

Not opening package with chainsaw = major fail

Mine came in bubble wrap, interestingly

Something about this AvE blade holder ticks my boxes. Ill just stick with the broke arsed plastic one for the time being.

I prefer a carpet knife personally

Why on earth did you sand to such a fine grit? I took mine down to 120 and stopped there.

Not tea bag.

Cool looking paperweight.

This is not for someone that just wants a knife. It's for someone that likes to work with their hands and have a part in the construction and assembly of a tool that will last lifetimes. Or until you lose it or it gets stolen

I'd love one, but there is no way I could justify 100 bucks for a razor knife handle. I also thought it was odd there was no pocket clip. I thick it would look good with some chemical/cold bluing.

Looks cool but too much play for me.

Hi AvE

This type with break off blades are garbage. Not one have I ever owned dies the blade break properly

It costs $100 smackers and you have to do a bunch of hand work before you can even assemble it? Fail! I’ll stick with my Milwaukee Fastback for $20…….and it’s not a one trick pony like this thing…

Yeah, kinda backwards. If it's going to require so much finishing work, and is essentially a starting point kit, it's supposed to be cheaper than a ready to go product. It'd be like buying a Chinese digital caliper that's rough and full of grinding dust that needs to be cleaned out and deburred before use, and it cost 5x what a mitutoyo does that's ready to go out of the box... what the fukover??
