A little bit of olive oil will do the trick. I've had mine for less than a week. Nice and smooth now

Miura Knives ua-cam.com/video/xXG_8qm8iW4/v-deo.htmlsi=SPOSiOJua30reu4s shows how it is done without oil

Dark handle is patina on the wood side. I don't force patina my knives, i prefer them either sparkling shiny or naturally aged. Wanted to try the boiling in oil for a long time but i guess the small voice in my head gets the better of me convincing me that it will mess the temper of the steel, which i know it wouldn't!

@@DrJKee you wil not cause it wont warm the steel.I have vintage Oliv wood Opinel from 67,i will not do something like that to it.But basic Opinel new knife ,why not?Much better then oven on 100C like some videos

It is an outstanding knife. Really love the aogami steel in this

You are right, i guess it might but luckily it hasn't happened yet, i suspect in my case the swelled up portion probably did get sanded gradually with the opening and closing of the knife. Been contemplating to turn it into a fixed knife. 🤣

@@DrJKee sure, why not. make a sheathe so you don't cut yourself

Thats should work too, that low temperature shouldn't mess with the steel temper as well, but in Malaysia our sun is hot hot hot, i usually just lay it out in the sun for a couple of minutes(will be too hot to touch sometimes) and that usually dried the wood up but doesn't last long with the humidity though. Very tempted to soak it in 60-70deg oil to seal the pores like how they make stabilize wood without the vacuum though...

I made a mess of my shellac in the oven, the pores of the timber leaked water and made bubbles on my shellac finish. I sanded it and redid the shellac twice. It actually looks pretty cool now. A lot like Padouk, I dyed mine red.

Lay it on the dash of an automobile under the windshield on a sunny day. That will loosen up a tight blade.

Not sure what styling wax is because i don't have much hair anyways. But if it's anything like the ones they use for dread locks then those dry and hardens, don't think it will help.

After having experience from shitty steel to "super steel" i have come to appreciate all kinds of knife steel. Yes, super steel has excellent performance but its not for everyone because once it goes dull, it takes an expert hand to return it to the former glory, while soft steel is "shitty", it can be sharpened easily with honing rod (yes, honing rod can sharpen very soft steel) and easily done by almost anyone with minimal knife maintenance skill. There is a place for all types of steel. However, i do agree with you on the "company" part. 😂

Don't really understand that statement 🤔

Thanks for sharing, good to know i am partially on the right track. Now time to get some olive oil!

You talked about the blade and the ring, what about the wood?

@@oldstory-sz4qc linseed oil for handle

@@oldstory-sz4qc olive oil works but not as hard wearing on handle as linseed oil

@@Phil144gbp Do I soak the knife for several hours-days?

Vaseline is mineral oil le....... Btw this knife doesnt touch food. Thanks for your comment.

@@DrJKee Vaseline is NOT mineral oil. It is a Petrochemical product. Your ignorance of that is astounding, as it says it on the label. It is NOT safe for human consumption, mineral oil IS.

vaseline IS mineral oil. it is made of paraffine which is made from mineral oil. @@Orlosthedruid

@@Orlosthedruid Vaseline® Jelly is made of 100% pure petroleum jelly which is a blend of mineral oils and waxes. Discovered by Robert Chesebrough in 1859, Vaseline® Jelly has had a long and dynamic history of keeping skin protected which you can read about.

FFS, And you think mineral oil is safe 🤣

Yeah, out of the box sharpness not impressive but after touching up it is wonderful. Honing with dual stropping(green compound and raw hide) works very very well as you suggested

Kitne ka he

Fiio ignoring my case, so none opened. Hahahha

Okey okey okey…Thank you very much.

I really wanted to do that, and add metal spacer in between to prevent future swelling, but alittle too much work. 🤣. Glad to know someone has the same thought as i did.

You may be right, but my dead yeast was because i added boiling water into it accidentally 😂. Its sad that no one reads instructions anymore nowadays, including me. 😢

Sounds sweeeeeeeet tooo!!!

Sharp eyes you have there. Yes, they are both using the same core material, the sibazi is laminated and forged while the jm8 is stamped. They can both be sharpened to the same acute angle and sharpness but the jm8 tend to chip easier(microchip especially when sharpened aggressively), the shibazi is more forgiving to less than ideal sharpening technique. Edge retention wise, the shibazi can last about 50% longer. The shibazi is heavier so the feel of use might differ depending on your preference. Handle wise, the shibazi has more grip, jm8 is toooooooooooo smooth, even after i sanded down the coating.

Thanks for the comment!

@@DrJKee welcome

Thank you very much, i noticed that neat attachment when i was in a local hardware store recently, i had this machine for a long long long long long time when they havent actually came out with that attachment. Will get one that comes with the attachment if and when this machine fails. Thanks for the suggestion!!

😂 well congrats!

Do you mean that the FD5/7 too do not fit easily into the ears? Thats rather unfortunate. This is the only Fiio iem i own, the rest like KZ,CCA,Shure,Sennheiser and Mee, they all fit naturally into my ears. Angling the stem downwards is just a weird design.😅

They do, but it took me a while to figure that out. The FD5/7 nozzles are angled inwards and downwards if you take the MMCX axis as a horizontal reference. The same trick should be applied to the FD11, I think. But if one has to rotate it too much, then that's bizarre indeed. By the way, the only reason for me not pulling the trigger on the FD11 was due to the lack of the MMCX interface.

​@@FabioKaspernow i see where the problem lies, MMCX... Thats a pivotable connection, it was a pain when i first encountered it in Shure iems, but i guess it really complemented the downward stem of the fiio since there will be room for slight adjustment with the mmcx. They should've adopted a different design if they are utilizing this 2 pin. An update; i modified the C pin silver cable that came with the new KZ iems, moulded the earhook and fashioned the pins (removed the excess plastic) to fit the FD11, works very well and there is even a misbass boost. 😅

@@DrJKee the rotation over the MMCX axis helps indeed. I also have a couple of Shure IEMs by the way, and after our conversation, I checked my SE846 this morning and noticed it is also aligned in a similar fashion than than the FD5/7, i.e., inwards and downwards with respect to the MMCX axis as a horizontal plane. However, the axis I was trying to communicate is the one at 4:18. If we use the Six-DOF of a Marine Vessel as convention, 4:18 is *pitch* rotation. MMCX axis would be *roll* rotation and there is a 3rd and vertical axis which is also important to fit and that is the *yaw* rotation. The latter helps to align the IEM parallel to our pinnas. So all of the 3 degrees of freedom (DOF) help to position the nozzle aligned with our ear canals. And guess what, the FH9 has also the same alignment, but this one being the most comfortable fit in my collection, except the little Shures, of course. Sadly I don't have the FD11 to confirm this though. Ohh gosh, why it is so difficult putting this into words? Drawing would be much easier. 😂 Anyway, it was a good discussion. Good luck! Cheers.

​@@FabioKasperthanks for the info! Maybe i should get one of those FH and compare them one of these days. But the odd thing is that people complain about the fit of the FD11, not with the other models 🤔. Cheers

@@LanxPenzenpepperu not that strong bro💀

i think any oil might work too, however, some sources did mention that vege oil can go rancid, i havent encountered that before yet.

No point in this, just showing you how i cut cabbage with that said knife

It is very sharp and the scary thing is it lasts alot longer than the VG10

I am not entirely sure which version this is. Judging from the handle i believe this is the cloud version. The spine is not tapered, i think he maker grinded the first gen knives in his garage, fit and finishing was bad... Very bad. But the blade held up very very very very well, the sharpest knife in my shed as of now.

I think that might work too!

280W, its under powered but with some patience, it will work

@@DrJKee thanks!

Our understanding about physics might be different, yes i put highly viscous oil in the wood, I didnt soak it in light oil. No, the joint didn't swell up, since the inception of the video.

Nah, they were shot on different days

But i dont really enjoy this board as it is pieces of wood glues together

Haven't tried that before.... Unfortunately/fortunately my supply of tea leaves never seem to run out

Putting it under the sun will also help, but with year round humidity of 60-90%, it swells back up in no time

Yes, its too humid here

I would love to compare them but not many are available in Malaysia, if they are, they are usually very expensive. From comparing yaxell zen and tojiro, yaxell VG10 seem to have wayyyyyyy better edge retention. By the way, i lived in Simferopol for 6 years, when it was still in ukraine, hope everything is well in your place. Cheers

@@DrJKee I'm from Kharkiv.

I've been to kharkiv a few times before, even performed garigarimaiasvesda in one of your national tv channel before. I remember Ukraine has many local knife makers, have you tried any of them?

@@DrJKee Yes, there was a period when I was fond of knives. Now I basically use cheap ones. But I can say one thing for sure - it is more profitable to buy a knife from a local knifemaker than a Japanese one. It will be cheaper, with good geometry and interesting steel.

I bet that smelled lovely as well!

The petroleum jelly gets absorbed into the wood after a day or two, but i always wipe off the excess after lubing hence less chance for dirt to cling onto it. This is not lubricating,, i live in a very humid country, this is sealing the wooden pivot from moisture .

Yeah, electricity is the way forward. Like electric vehicle. 🤣

Thanks, the brass liners and not "run of the mill" steel actually tipped my choice compared to the cold steel jigged bone trapper!

Glad it helped

Welcome to Asia

Would've done it in boxers if not taking a video. 😂

You'll never know until you tried. The worst that can happen is NOTHING!!

He might need the knife more than me. 🤣

@@DrJKee yeah

Not so much fun to flick for me as it lacks the grip security like balisong

Definitely

@@DrJKee I actually found a compromise. Mine is on the looser side, just not enough to flick it effortlessly. I just grab it with my thumb and pointer finger with my Higo facing downwards. Then I rapidly slam my higo holding hand on my other hand, exposing the blade. Works every time and I don’t have to worry about it’s blade traveling so loosely that it will close on my fingers if I don’t keep constant tension on the tab.

@@KanekiKen-lm1dl i get what you mean, its like the savoyard's tap we use on opinels, that's a brilliant idea actually.

@@DrJKee I didn’t even know it had a name like that. Thanks for the info

Boleh cari di shoppee, saya beli di kedai chau sui tek Sandakan

Unfortunately its good only for sharpening pencil, as for other wood working, the specific way the handle needs to be held limits the flexibility of usage, not to mention the profile of the blade.

Glad you realized! I held back on the new knives purchase to be able to afford vegetables! 😂
