Check out my website for more info: goughcustom.com/ This video has been in the making for over a year! Over the last 4 years I have been working continuously to improve my process for making the Resolute MkIII and this video documents what it has evolved into! First the handle material (G10) is prepared, then the blades and handles are CNC machined, then the blade is hand-finished, heat-treated and DLC coated, then the blade and handles are carefully married together. After the knife is completed the kydex sheath is made using a combination of CNC machining and hand work. This process has taken over 4 years to develop and has required thousands of hours of experimentation and design work, I believe it makes the most of modern CNC machining and old-school hand finishing! Nevertheless I continue to evolve this process and improve my knives every day! Hope you guys enjoy the video! If you have any questions let me know in the comments! -Aaron High-res photos of the knife from this video: i.imgur.com/GLMCEyY.jpg i.imgur.com/gN45usR.jpg

This is a marine grade epoxy and the bond strength is already way above what is actually needed! Speed is not an issue as I just leave it overnight to cure...

Absolutely love my #1074! In one word, perfection. I really like Aarons concept of choosing a single design and perfecting it to incredible standards. Its different from many other makers. I see some critical of the fact that he makes use of technology rather than as he had by hand but his goal is making the best product possible. Humans made these machines for a reason, to achieve what is simply impossible to do alone. Just seeing his work shop speaks volumes to his work ethic. Looks like he could be making mechanical time pieces its so clean. If you are after the individuality of a custom made by hand with all its character and imperfections there are plenty of great knife makers doing that. I rest assured that every detail on my knife is absolutely perfect, the fit and finish, the materials chosen, the heat treatment, the blade finish, its all been thoroughly tested and chosen for a reason, to be as good as possible. My first slice through cardboard seriously impressed. It slid through with far less resistance than any other knife I have used including far slimmer folders. Zero compromises.

Stunning! Only just starting to get interested in knife making...nice to see the other end of the art. New materials and techniques do create something spectacular - coupled with your clear skills.

Everything's perfect 👍 But where is fun ???

The quality of your knives is simply astounding. Every time you release a new video it seems you have introduced even more quality into the build. Just a quick question however, how long does it take you to make a batch, and how big is the batch of knives?

+lpsowns thanks very much mate! Batch time/sizes varies a lot because I'm always trying new things... Right now time per knife is around 9 hours.

hi! I'm figuring out the steps for knifes production and this was so helpful man! Even though I'm not counting on all of the machinery involved this oriented me a lot. Thank you!

Watching a cnc machine at work is truly hypnotizing.
