This video has been in the making for over a year! Over the last 4 years I have been working continuously to improve my process for making the Resolute MkIII and this video documents what it has evolved into!
First the handle material (G10) is prepared, then the blades and handles are CNC machined, then the blade is hand-finished, heat-treated and DLC coated, then the blade and handles are carefully married together. After the knife is completed the kydex sheath is made using a combination of CNC machining and hand work.
This process has taken over 4 years to develop and has required thousands of hours of experimentation and design work, I believe it makes the most of modern CNC machining and old-school hand finishing! Nevertheless I continue to evolve this process and improve my knives every day!
Hope you guys enjoy the video! If you have any questions let me know in the comments!

As both an aerospace machinist and a traditional bladesmith, i can appreciate this process from multiple perspectives. Say what they may, but nobody can doubt that edge. They seem like quality knives.

Aaron your process is as much a work of art as the beautiful knives you make - just sensational mate. Cannot believe that cutting edge!!

@garymillwacker8486

DUDE! That's incredible. I utterly loved it when it turns out you used your own jig on a shop grinder with custom CBN wheels. And CBN wood strop is the best. I have long decided my dream sharpening supplies would be custom CBN, and that wood strops are the most precise. The level of precision from start to finish on these is outstanding.

I can't imagine the amount of time and effort that went in to perfecting the set up on all this. Fantastic results.

With you attention to detail and quality design i still consider this a handmade knife. I want one.

It's great seeing how far you've come from simply using files to make your knives. I highly respect your passion to create the best knife you're able to. Thanks for sharing, it was definitely fun to watch!

It clearly stated in the title 'High Tech Way', to those whom come for tradisional method, you're at the wrong video. Keep that in mind. And I enjoy both tradisional and modern. Nice work there.
