Thank you Hans. Yes, definitely more updates coming.

I'm really envious of you man. You just always seem to be moving forward and pushing through with ideas. I've been sitting on a Kickstarter for a few years waiting for the product to be right and you just up and do it. As for machining, wish I could have came and given you a run through the horizontal and lathe. Could have shortened your learning curve dramatically. As for surface finish, if you want to remove the milling marks wet bead blasting works well, leaves a nice satin finish. If not getting a nice custom pattern isn't all the hard, could scallop it a bit with a ball mill or some such Kepp up the good work, see you next year for the next video lol

Yes, just go for the Kickstarter Manny ...the platform is still great (but not what it used to be 5 or 6 years ago). It's not so much a novelty any more for people. Thank you for the info on wet bead blasting - will definitely look into this!

Welcome back Magnus!... Been looking out for your videos, awesome. Hopefully we can see more of your vlogs.

Hi Ian! Hopefully I stick around his time (I already have a second video filmed and edited ...so that's a step in the right direction!).

@@MagnusMacdonald Back when you did regular vlogs, I always looked forward to the next one. It was sort of like your daily cup of coffee to start the day.... looking forward to more of your vlogs, very inspirational for me as a machinist.

I have missed these videos! glad you're back

Hey Hugh! Yeah, I'm not sure if I'll do those again (I enjoyed them too to be honest ...I'm a sucker for good quotes).

If you make them, we will watch. Still loving my Ego spinner by the way. Nothing quite like the dual bearing system you came up with. :)

Great to have you back... Finally. Already waiting for the next installment. Oh, and put me down for a Project Zero when it's ready!

Cheers Lucas! A bit rusty with the filming here ...but should find my stride again.

I like the look of the 'dog-bone'! Design-wise it's more interesting than just the parallel lines of the chamfers.

Interesting. Will consider a "dogbone" version in the future (whether on purpose or by accident :-D).

OH NO he said at the end he will leave it to the next video. :( I hate waiting months to find out a teaser.

If you can't buy one when it's ready ...then maybe I'll run a giveaway or something.

May be next time you should better collect preorders only from production ready prototype that you can actually hold in your hands, rather than a CAD design. People like your honesty like i do, but it is not an excuse for your bad financial decisions and lack of business plan. I think that 3 months of commitment shouldn't extend to a full year without a fully functioning prototype. Please take my thoughts in a positive way because i know you are a hardworking man that have dreams, and i wish you the best of luck for to achieve them.

I have a lot of weaknesses and flaws right now ...and a year ago I had even more of them! Definitely learning. The most progress made in the last couple of years is hiring amazing people. Forces me to not make silly decisions. I appreciate your feedback Vahit - thank you!

Hey Mr. Magnus, I've been looking for a good guide on the first essential bits/end mills to buy for CNC knifemaking. I haven't been able to find something comprehensive. Do you know where this info might be?

@MagnusMacdonald

Hi David, unfortunately there is very little information out there! The only place I can think of is Titans of CNC. They have an online academy (I think it's free).

Price? What material are the scales and blade going to made of?

@MagnusMacdonald

4 жыл бұрын

The scales are titanium. Not sure what price is - it is on the website though (not really offering them right now though).

Was super interested in this knife, but the price for me is not affordable. I'm sure it's worth every penny, wish it were cheaper :(

Magnus! Where’s the inspirational/make ya think, quote of the day/video!?!?!? I’m sure that you have some more memorized lol

Pre orders are never a good idea

Thanks for the free RnD China will be making these for pennies soon

That's okay. They're not making videos and showing their work ...so they will attract different types of customers. There is room for everyone.
