In the Philippines, Buwaya is a Filipino word for crocodile. I noticed that the grind on the handle looks like a raw of osteoderm on a crocodile's spine. I also noticed that the blade is shaped like a crocodile's head with eyes. If you fold the knife, it looks like a sleeping crocodile with its tail bent around its body. It looks really beautiful yet badass.

Picked up a Buwaya about 2 weeks ago and I absolutely love it! Wanted since I first laid eyes on it at Blade Show. I was lucky to have a good friend with a knife store who stayed vigilant in finding one for me. Another great Polish (lives in US now, Brooklyn NY) is Michael Zieba. His work is phenomenal, I’ve got an S5 mini by him. He’s a protege of Jason Knight

I'm not gonna lie, this knife is just BEAUTIFUL!!!

Wow!!! That is one sick blade!!! Thanks for taking the time to make great knife videos.

Wow, really great knife. Nice grind.Jim, thanks.

Stunning knife, looks like a shark from deep space. Once again loving the eloquence of your observations "biomechanical" Jim!

Nice review, i had few Brrr knives in my hand, they are beautiful and perfect. Greetings from Poland ;)

Stellar craftsmanship!

Absolutely awesome. Damn near the perfect knife for my personal tastes!!! Great call on having the raised flats polished. A+++

Polish knife makers are the best! People like Herman Knives, Brr Knives, Poltergeist knifeworks or Ostap Hel make excellent folders while Libra Knife Works, G custom or Maciek Torbe make outstanding fixed blades. These are just a few, but whenever I attend any knife exhibition or show in Poland I am left breathless. #reppingthenation

Very nice knife love the style M390 blade makes it so much better on top of the great look this one would be a keeper for me for sure nice EDC size.

Just picked up a one-off Sablya from CKF due to your video. Goddamn it Jim. This knife is sexy to! This and the Sablya have stood out to me more than any over the last year...and so close together in timing to.

im not sure where i seen one but i was trying to track this down couple weeks ago. sick looking. congrats jim.

Oh I love it!!! Are his books still open?

I just checked out their website. Yep, double the price is a LOT for a customized finish ... but well worth it! And there's plenty of knives out there that aren't nearly as beautiful or well made at that price. Plus I'll bet it has a high WAF. ;-)

Nice review. Greetings from Poland :)

Just a bad ass looking knife. Reminds me of Jason Brous's work.

10/10, like one..

The blade shape/grind reminds me of something. Bird head or alien head, something, I dunno cool ass knife that's for sure

Very nice..

Real Nice...

Cool as hell!!!

Very nice

Jim- could you please do some gun or motorcycle vids? I love both of those as well.

That's cool

FYI, Australian Knife Laws have changed. Now perfectly OK to send any manual folding knife as long as it's not assisted, automatic or balisong.

really looking forward to your review on the eutsler regulator. any idea when that might be coming?

cool thank you

very nice! ♡♡♡♡

Reminds me of a hedge trimmer.

nice

That knife is beautiful. if you don't mind me asking how much? I couldn't find a price when I went to look.

Hey Jim, if you're curious about the detent in zirc oxyde you should check eric demongivert website or instagram, he created with patrick famin a flipper system call zirconia pivot system, they 're will released for blade show.

Really like the look of the knife. Thin grind. The only thing that ruins it for me it the top of the grind instead of transition to the flat it has a shelf flat area that doesn't make sense to me it would catch on stuff while cutting. Other than that it looks great.

ever sell stuff you out grow? and are you still doing guest blades?

$800 seems fair considering it is basically a small unique batch of knives. Can't believe you paid almost double for a satin and anodizing though. I could of done that for you for $100.

what do you do and how do i get your job?

what time we gonna see your name on some blades jim ?

I think the knife looks like a leaf.

the blade reminds me of an orca

Check Kombou others photo!

Polish uses the Latin alphabet but with a different phonetic key compared with English. It's why I have to tell people there are imaginary vowels in my last name.

Lego. Buwaya

You gotta get a better camera man! The photos of the knives are so different to the colours in the video!

check out Fred burger, he is a talented knife maker who lives in South Africa

i wonder, whats the benefit of that much increadible knives ?

Very pretty, but $1600 for a CNC made knife... from Poland? I’m not saying it’s not worth it just because it’s made in Poland, but let’s keep things in perspective. With a custom knife a lot of what you’re paying for is the makers time, right? If someone in the US charged $1600 for that knife, let’s say there’s $500 in materials (that’s being generous because it’s just Ti and steel there), and 25 hours of labor (again generous since handle and blade are both clearly CNC’d). That works out to $44 an hour for their time, which is acceptable. But, in a country where the average income, cost of living, standards, minimum wage, etc, is a fraction of what it is here, making $44usd per hour is like someone here making over $200 an hour; and I’m pretty sure any knife maker will tell you, they’re not making anything close to that.

Buwaya is not a polish word.

Im going to have to unsubscribe. if i buy one more knife the Mrs is going to rip me a new one..

Knife doesn't appeal to me. Don't like the looks or design. It's ugly.
