play the video form 11:55 to 12:20 just listening to the audio...

Love living vicariously through you, Jim. What an amazing collection you must have by now...

This knife is amazing! I'm in love!!

Dude, this is the most beautiful knife i've seen in years. gorgeous!

It's beautiful, but if it were mine I'd change one thing. Since you didn't end up getting the blue, I would have him reannodize the liners in some tone of gold or bronzish to capitalize on the brown and gold tones of the Damascus. Just my .02 as I think that would take it over the top.

Love this, man. Absolutely beautiful

This knife and that Bangle or whatever you spell it...maaaan, two most beautiful knives I have seen in a loooong time. How could I have missed this episode. Rastor is just insane, this is blade art and utility in its highest form for me - freaking awesome !

now that is a beautiful piece of art. stunning piece you have there

So Nice ! Jim, You truly are a Blessed Man !

mannnn.. guaranteeeedddd you have the best knife collection in the world! also you take the best pictures of your knives in the beginning of your videos .

One of the most beautiful knives I’ve ever seen. Wow...

Heck of a pickup brother. Definitely a vid I've been looking forward too

Absolutely gorgeous Jim!!

Drop dead gorgeous!

This is a beautiful knife serving it's purpose as an art piece. That damascus is captivating.

Holy Christ thats the most beautiful knife I’ve ever seen. That thing is siiiiick.

The coolest and most beautiful knife i ever seen

yep...sure is a creation of beauty :) congratulations on owning/having such an item. wish I had one ;)

That's beautiful!

Totally wicked! Very very excellent!

absolute best and funniest review you have made

its beautiful!!!

Beautiful ! ! !

I've been subbed for sometime now, even tho i know ill never be able to afford any of these wonderful knifes i love looking at all the detail and beauty lots of these knifes have!

I found your Kwaiken video, liked it, subbed. Now I'm in a totally new knife universe. Amazing!

I honestly can't stand how gorgeous it is.

That is by far the prettiest knife I have ever seen

That's a beautiful knife 😍😍

That’s beautiful

Wow! Amazing knife :)

Love the color scheme on this one. I would love to see a more practical knife with similar colors and materials.

Gorgeous!

What a BEAUTY Jim!!!

Dang I love this 😍😍😍

Its like a Rolex watch....OMFG Its soo frikkn gorgeous! I love these vids man keep on goin! :D Would be cool to see a vid to show different knives for different occasions. Work, leisure, evening out. etc...

Lovely knife. I dig the color scheme on it. I am not too keen on Krambit blade style knives without the actual ring. I say this because of the Krambit blade style, which can get stuck on a object when in use. I've had to defend my self using my actual Krambit (with the ring), and boy... I cannot stress enough how valuable the ring became in those incidents. You end up swiping and using the knife to counter/block etc. and the ring helped me to keep in control of the knife. I know for certain, without the ring, I could have easily lost my grip and had the knofe knocked away from me or lose control of the knife when it got stuck.

its rely beautiful like karambet and the outo open locks rely nice

Wieland makes fantastic knives, I know Jim doesn't think it's stabby enough but I LOVE the Slash, the Slash sword and the Slash balli (I found a contractor who makes large machined aluminum spikes all anodized with a kydex scabbard for when I need something stabby)

I'd love having this in my collection!

awsome knife I would use it every day

There is some kind of special wax for the ivory to keep it from yellowing. You need to apply it occasionally.

This is so B E A U T I FULL that i'm amazed...strange shape of the blade, beautifull looking handle, it's A M A Z I N G looking folder, L O V E it...

I really enjoy your reviews. I just wish that I could afford just one of your knives

omg I don't collect knives, but I can tell what quality is and boy these bad boys are amazing.

Stunning knife Jim....but honestly I would ask Reese to make a couple changes. I'd ask for him to maybe change the thumb stud, for something more decretive/ fancy. I would also ask him to redo the liners maybe a deep bronze/ purple. Still amazing tho :)

I know people have said it but the ONLY things I would do would be getting the liners in a gold or bronze, and just... something else with the thumb stud. I know it's intended to be an automatic but that really looks like an afterthought. Now if it's intended to be minimalistic so it doesn't draw your eyes from the rest of this fucking masterpiece, then yeah, makes sense, but for me it's kind of like putting a twenty dollar trigger on a thousand dollar thousand dollar race Glock. But yeah, bitching aside, hoooooly shit man. That damascus is literally the most beautiful blade material I have ever seen. I've seen some cool shit on bolsters, but nothing like this on an actual blade. I think the ivory was the only way to go here too. Something like anodized Ti would have looked cheap in comparison but any other synthetic material with a pattern in it would have cluttered it too much. The ivory is plain, but at the same time gorgeous, and is truly worthy of sitting between those bolsters. I don't even want to know what you dropped on this one but I know it was worth it for a true piece of art.

I see your Phil Harvey Gladius as somewhat of an art knife, I've never seen anything like it and the quality appears to be off the charts. The Gladius is my other holy grail knife by the way. In fact, I emailed Phil and I guess his books are open and I went ahead and signed up for one. Going to start putting away money and saving now as of I have a 2-3 year wait.

Magnifique !!!!!!👍

This reminds me of the upgraded knife in the game Dishonored,truly awesome

ohh wow very nice!

"It's not a midget, it's a little knife." XD lol

The background you use on the thumbnail of your videos is gorgeous! Would love to see regular items on it lol

Love it! Wish the thumb stud was ivory as well though..

Holy crap jim that is sweet, I'm guessing you probably own a few rainy vallotons, if you do I'd love to see them sir!!

Love yer vidz + yer insane collection (this one being no exception), but I just gotta say this: A good chunk of your vidz showcase awesome blades that you just gotta admit aren't very practical for a buncha reasons. Even excluding cost, some of those beasts just don't strike me as being usable in daily situations... Regardless, more power to ya, cause us less financially-liberated fellas can live vicariously thru yer insane showcases vidz.

Jim you have truly beautiful knives. Is there a dealer that you use or do you go to the manufacture directly?

"when I pull it out and they see it they're like Oh my God" -Jim s 2015

Ron best knives are the most top tier of insane art knives I've ever seen short of steigerwalts

There was a voice in the back of my head saying "That's what she said" through half of this video. Nice to know I am still 5... Nice vid

that is awesome

How the hell is that Damascus made, that is some craftsmanship

Absolutely beautiful! Though personally I'd prefer the liners to be more of a dark red or something similar to the damascus.

The best art of a blade is how it's used.

Beautiful knife Jim!!!!! Only thing I'd change is to have the clip slightly in an "S" shape.

the only thing that bugs me is that thumbstud

Hey so after they heat anodize the steel how deep does that penetrate? I always want the edge to look the same as the rest of the blade......

idc about knives, I dont even carry one. But I do enjoy some good craftsmanship.

Jim. I recently bought a Reese Weiland Rastor it has a 6 in blade. Gold Damascus. And Gold Timascus bolsters with Pre ban ivory handles.

How much does a knife like this usually cost? This is honestly beautiful. I cant stop watching your videos, especially this one. I just recently become interested in knives, and forging in general. Your videos are great though! pS: I love this knife. I want it.

damn! I want it!!

With the ivory I would have gone lighter colors or even high polish stainless on it. The white and dark don't do it for me. Nonetheless, I like the detail of your videos as a teaching tool. Great job.

Reese: hey I have a few minutes, do you want something done? Jim: make me something fucking crazy and huge. Basically the equivalent of somebody saying "hey can I get you something to eat? And you saying "yeah do you have a dozen white truffles?" Haha love the video Jim, keep em coming my friend!

The reflections off the bolsters are blue in tint.

Reminds me of a Stan Wilson!

Beauty of a knife. I'm a big fan of karambits, so that blade is wicked to me. The most deadly of all knives in my opinion.

I almost died when he mentioned dropping it on the pavement

wow Jim you must have a thousand knives!

one hell of a karambit

How do you get that color on Damascus?

Imagine this in a size of an XL Cold Steel Espada. That'll be awesome, but I'm not sure if it would be even possible.

lol this has to be one of the most ridiculously gorgeous knives i seen

my old sebenza feels like victorinox swiss army knife compared to THAT! Beauty and The Beast ^^ Best wish knife ^^ congrats

i may have missed it, whats the price on one of these?

Are you planning on getting a Stan Wilson in the Future? Because he is the most talented knifemaker I know ^^

"when I pull it out and show it to someone they can't help but gasp".......I have that same problem.

Is there such thing of buying one of those from your friend

omfg I want one :)

The knife looks amazing. I don't know though, if I paid that kind of money and was expecting one thing and got another i wouldn't be very happy. Also with that caliber of maker I don't buy that excuse for the bolster. Maybe because I don't know what Im talking about but I would never let that go out to the customer.

how much money did you spend for it? It looks way too expensive! is its price in the 10grand range?

where do you buy your knives

I wish I had as much money to spend on knives as you do.......maybe one day xD.

I would do anything to own this knife..... ANYTHING...

Not a fan of the blade shape at all, but damn, the craftsmanship on this one...much respect.

i want a knife like that

I think if I was going to get a knife of this price range then I would want a fixed blade especially if I plan on actually carrying and using it.

wooooow nice how i can buy one of this fold nife brother?

It’s like a lava Damascus

Jeez if I payed over a thousand dollars for a custom knife and asked for blue damascus but was then sent something resembling bloody-diarrhea damascus instead I'd send that shit right back pronto. Seems like a pretty big screw-up to occur at that price-point. I would't stand for it.

Goddamn. Sorry to ask but how much was the negotiated price??

damn that damascus....
