I honestly disagree with the 1st 3 issues you have. I am 6ft 230lbs of juice head. I do not wear baggy clothes. I rock it in the pocket of all my different pants and jeans with zero problems you are experiencing. No seatbelt issue, no hip issue or movement restrictions but I rock pocket (inside wasteband would be illegal where I'm at with blade length and concealed). And my jackets don't really go past my pocket, they all stop at the hip. I also tried it with flannels as the seemed longer than my coats and no matter how slow or fast I drew with the pocket flip feature I could not re create it possible cutting my garment. I have a feeling that the knife may be a little to large for your body size. That's why I added my stats in this reply. I even carry a large phone in a thick case in the same pocket as my espada xl. So this is a good video with the caption as " smaller guys with espada xl carry issues" , because that vould be helpful and that's the only think I can think of why you are having these issues. Not a dig by any means, just observing and trying to help out.

very good job-reminds me alittle of the old timer deer slayer

Wishing you good fortune on this project, including the sale 🤞🍀 ! You have had enough obstacles already.

Sorry bout your loss, congrats on the client! Makes a lot of sense your reasoning for what a more ideal blade shape would be for its purpose.

You gotta be a less George fan,eh?? Looks like it anyways he’s one of my favorites.

Nice work, bro!!

Saved my bacon when it got to the end of a sheath build and realized that I hadn’t stitched the belt loop yet.

Heat treat in house. You will respect yourself in the morning.

whats the make and model?

well loved

It all comes from the same factory in China, just different skill sets, apps made products.....Trust me on this, I know shit.

Sorry to hear of the theft. I do like the look of that one you're carrying. Congrats on the commision.

Kudos to using 3v. Perfect for an axe. I have a Bark River Golok which has seen some minor "abuse" (that wasn't intended) and it knicked a lot lot less than other metallurgies have.

Seems like you got a real dud, mine was used extensively to turn dead trees into kindling and held up fine, nor did it have any fit and finish issues that weren't shortcomings of the design itself (that brass on the bottom is a hand shredder when you've been chopping long enough). It's not on that they shipped out one in the state of yours, let alone to America where shipping means it's not as easy to just get in touch with Tod and send it over to him in the post. You keep saying this is point focused but mine chops as well as my kukri, if not better. I think the fact your blade is slanted probably changed what it does in the hand.

Beautiful collection

maybe just add some resin inside and that should set the lead ball

I made a hiking staff with the same hame ball. I don't think you need to add lead. It would cause enough damage on it's own. If you want to fix it as is drill a hole and inject epoxy in side, then plug the hole with the right size brass rod. Nicely done overall. The one thing I would caution is the screw sitting proud as it might tear hear hand. Us older folks don't have as tough of skin as we use to have.

Epoxy to sturdy the lead.

The base to me is a bit weird, I always got told they kept them flat, as you could use your other hand to hit it and drive it through tougher materials? That castle not looking thing will definitely not make this comfortable.

The brass piece is called a Hame Ball and it is off of a drafts horses harness. Nice work on the cane by the way.

Really good job. I'm very impressed with how that turned out. Especially with using a belt grinder. Use a copper pipe on the end. That's what I use. I've used a cane for a long time hurt my knees in army.

the brass is a cane handle - there are many versions of it for sale online - my brother has one

How to make the pellets framers

Thumb rings are nuclear gay, suppressing turbo and super by at least ultra gayness.

5:01 oof the handsanding fingers

But doesn't it defeat the purpose using pellets to make pellets probably show us a different source of lead

Thanks for video

What kinda pants this have on? None of my espada give me this issue

Looks good so far.

Carry them big knives without the stupid clip. They are long enough that they don’t flop in the pocket. I carry an espada large g10 no clip

Have you decided on a material for the scales?

Looking cool so far 👍

Fakes are all around us, now, in your room. Fake, fake, fake. 24-7 fake.

Just going to mention that you probably have the budget version using cheaper materials, this is not disguised Tod say as much in his videos, if you want use it practically you will have to buy the pemium item.

Who knew Uyghur children could sharpen knives?

The thing is probably made in india

Been carrying a Rajah II for over a decade now but another downside, along with any wave rider, is that they destroy your jeans, particularly where the nub/catch is that activates the wave rider function. Every one of my jeans I wear for work has a hole where the catch pokes out now.

Get different pants dumb ass

This is probably common sense to most of you, but I’m a bit of a knucklehead: Do not hold it with the tip facing up and disengage the lock with your thumb. The blade will fall on your finger and you’ll get a cut on your knuckle that will require stitches at best. Ask me how I know.

I never broke a CS knife pre sale, post sale 2 bushman's broke, the entire bushman series is garbage, they changed something. My brother says his new recon 1 wont hold an edge like his old one.

I carry a good locking fanny bag wherever I go (very handy for phone, keys, etc) fits and conceales my espada perfectly

Gotta get the ruby red for your collection 😎 One day I'll get grab the polished one lol

I've had several tod cutler pieces, I must say the quality control is not great, especially on the sharpening. But they are still the best you will get in the price range. My rondel had a loose blade, my quillion dagger rusted like it was made of pig iron and my stiletto had been heat treated such that I could bend it strongman fashion by accident. In my case the this Dirk had a properly done edge (many of the others had the edge bevel at an angle not suitable for an axe) and I used it for a lot of yard work, the brass on the back is painful but other than that it was good for it. The seax was my favourite, but it was not full tang and the handle split, though the handling was probably so nice because it wasn't full tang, also it had the best blade by far, as it had a good edge profile unlike the others. Overall I'd say be informed about what you are getting, these are historically accurate, most of them are not very useful in any modern context as they are meant for chainmail, not a utility in the current context. They might look cool, but that will quickly wear off, go for something practical, e.g. A chopping blade with a comfortable handle, there are some excellent offers but also some duds. The new Dirk is likely good, as will be the german peasant knives. The seax is good so long as you aren't doing much more than taking the branches off a Christmas tree. The butchers knife he offers is unusable unless you have a sharpening station, the blade profile means its about as blunt as a mallet and handles worse. There is a serious problem if this issues are spread at random rather than specific to the batch. But to be frank other people offer things which don't even have the historical design in this price range, the sword market is more competitive, but only because a handful of companies keep up competition and quality for the entire market, Tod cutler is like if LK Chen were they only people who felt like researching the swords they imitate.

If I had to bring something that big with me into a sketchy area, I think I'd be better off bringing a gun.

That knife is a beast. I have a utilty/EDC 80CrV2 blade; it's about 2 years old. At first I hated the patina but now I like the "used and abused" look. Holds it's edge well.

You can sell sand to an arab if youre skilled enough

I have mine right next to my bed right now I bought 1-3 years ago and it’s the best investment I’ve ever made. At first I had trouble with getting the lid sealed on correctly to where it wouldn’t leak, after that I haven’t had any leaks with mine plus I keeps things cold for 4-5 days until the temperature starts changing after that.

😎👊🤘 doing the good work

hot take: the only time 1:1 clones are a BAD thing are when they are trying to be sold as a real one with the price tag to go with it. if people who want the original item that cant afford it, yet can afford the knock off but would never pay for an original than there is zero impact on the original company. id even argue that some people who buy a knock off might enjoy them so much that they go out n spend on a real one and never would have without having the cheaper one to "try before buy"

Really enjoy your designs they are very far away from things i use. Im working on handle designs. Sometimes what i think isn't comfortable when actually done. I have 2 puuko knives they have a classic design. Which is easy to make. But im trying to make by feeling alone you know were the sharp part is. Im starting to believe one finger groove is best. But i want the knife to be comfortable in any grip. I thought small knives would be easier then choppers i was very wrong. My 2 are 80cv 2 one is very hard 62 the other 59. Wanna see which preform best.
