TJ you are a beast I love your knives and more important I really respect the kind of businessman you are. So obvious you’re in here for the long-haul . Your passion for doing things . Your work and everybody in the industry likes you as the man you are. I wish you the best. This is such a passion project for you not just a cash grab and everybody knows it
Found your channel because of the Syil, stayed because of the knives. Have an Overland on order to add to my collection! Love the process and machining videos TJ!
Really interesting to see the thought process behind the design and manufacturing. It's great to support quality USA knife makers. I love my Overland so much I put in an order for a custom Overland Sport!
Really enjoyed the first couple of your videos, you made it further along than I did, I bought a brand new Haas TM-2P years back, but unfortunately I didnt have enough work to keep busy so had to get rid of it, maybe one day I'll take another run at it. I love your shop set up, and to actually find something youre passionate about..awesome, Im happy for ya..keep fightin for what you love..thank you!
I really appreciate getting to know you, your work and your knives. Watching the design and machining of the steel and scales is very revealing. It shows great knowledge, skill and attention to detail which makes for a richer cutting experience for the user. Thanks for sharing.
I installed a gorilla glass screen protector on the inside of my door that is hydrophobic and I now get much better results filming from the outside. Before, all my footage was from a GoPro inside a case with an air knife. Now, I use footage from both the GoPro inside and my iPhone from outside. I use an iPhone because I get fewer reflections than from my DSLR.
Great video. The fact you did go “into the weeds” and shared your thought process made a more mainstream, but very good, knife making video, very enjoyable for the problem solvers in your audience. Thanks for the time shared. Keep it up.
Hello, good work! may be you can do a plate parrallel to the knife fix on your two existent screws and on the other end of the blade a little more thikness or little gauge under to avoid vibration. One opration and you can do all the contour. Sorry for my english. Thanks for your video from France
LT5 looks good and good choice with the A2! Curious to know what your thoughts are on a single bevel chisel design for wrecking wood. Only example I have is the Garette Wade XHD Chisel knife
My last job had a lot of stuff laser cut, if they used nitrogen instead of compressed air it helped in hardening the edge is what they said. I noticed a difference when reaming holes from air vs. nitrogen.
Have them cut with nitrogen. No slag, no more warp, and a smaller heat zone. That edge is either oxygen or dry shop air. A fiber lasered edge should not be that color with nitrogen.
Loving you're videos😁👍.....I have a Skyfire VMC and thinking of upgrading to the X7, space is an issue so I was wondering what was the minimum distance away from the wall do you need to access the electronics panel at the rear, ie how much swing in the rear access doors, many thanks Marcus
I'm not sure of the exact dimension, but approximately 24 inches. If you join the Syil User Group on Facebook there are documents linked with spec sheets and blueprints.
Thank you very much for the video. Will there be a video in the near future on how you machine the bevels? Are 3 axes enough? Are you machining it from the top or You are using some special fixture and have it under angle? Can you reveal the machining strategy or is it Your secret? Two years ago you were in Survive! knives shop. Do you know how they machine bevels? They have a beautiful finish straight from the cnc and I have no idea how they do it. Thank you very much for the answers. Have a nice day.
Fascinating to watch, thank you !
Overland...in my pocket👍...looking forward to LT5...jusordered

Tj this video was great man! I am so pumped to get my list trail today it came yesterday so I'm going to grab it from home!

Thanks so much for your support. I'll keep the knives and videos coming!
It’s pretty cool watching you as an artist and knife maker taking your craft so seriously. Awesome video. 😊

I can't thank you enough. So glad you're happy!
TJ, great to see people being this innovative that are also local to the Boise, ID area. Look forward to seeing future videos!

The Confidante and The Overlander Sport are definitely hight up on my wishlist!
Thanks for bringing us on the journey TJ
Thanks for following along!

Love your work, sir! My Overlander is one of my favorite knives, right up there with my Bradford Guardian 3!

Really helpful. I will definitely be trying that. Thank you!

Great stuff - love to watch the process. Looking forward to the rest of the build!
You and me both!
if you set x/y to one of the pins and z on the top of the pad on the pallet base you will never have to pick up offsets again :)

I'd avoid laser at all costs.
My last job had a lot of stuff laser cut, if they used nitrogen instead of compressed air it helped in hardening the edge is what they said. I noticed a difference when reaming holes from air vs. nitrogen.
Nitrogen won’t warp and will have a smaller heat zone. It cools the edge during evacuation much better. That edge is shop air

Yes Please !
How to get a TJ made knife ?
What steel u use for blades

Yes, I should definitely do a video about our bevel process in the near future. I'll answer as many questions as possible.
Would it be worth doing a temper cycle in an oven before machining them?
Also could you put in some magnets around the blade area?
What is the reasoning behind choosing A2 over other tool steels like Cruwear or 3V or over Magnacut? I'm genuinely curious.
I will definitely be doing a video on this!
Use bohler k890 63-65rc
Hey, the design website shows an error
Interesting. I'm not seeing the error. Can you help me by explaining what it's saying?
