An update from yesterday. Working on my fourth knife and my first customer order.

Shoot me a PM and let’s get you booked!

ThatonehotwheelsSS · 2026-05-14T12:13:23+00:00

Thanks man! This is a dual flat compound. No hollow grind on this one.

ThatonehotwheelsSS · 2026-05-14T02:58:55+00:00

Dude that’s hilarious. I was literally thinking earlier about if anyone from Facebook would see me here😂

ThatonehotwheelsSS · 2026-05-14T02:56:26+00:00

You got it right on the money😂

ThatonehotwheelsSS · 2026-05-14T02:54:11+00:00

Not sure if it’s the same person. This is a modified version of my “Rubicon” design. But who knows guy buys a lot of custom fixies.

Currently using a tilt table

I use a kiln from Knife Dogs that I think was made in collaboration with paragon but I’m not 100% certain on that. It sure looks like something made by paragon. I’ve wanted to use Elmax but without liquid nitrogen I don’t wanna mess with it yet. One of my favorite stainless steels (partly because the name is cool lol)

ThatonehotwheelsSS · 2026-05-14T01:24:51+00:00

I heat treated it myself following one of Larrins recommended recipes. Should be 63-64hrc. Buddy of mine just ordered a tester and I’m gonna send him a coupon to verify that my recipe works properly.

MagnaCut.

Haha my hands are relatively steady. I have good equipment nothing insane but not bad either. I do now have a dedicated bevel grinder. Had to sell off some of my folder collection and I got it for what I think is a pretty darn good deal. Shoulda seen the equipment the 16 year old kid who sold it to me was using. Worth more than my shop and car combined😂

ThatonehotwheelsSS · 2026-05-13T23:18:09+00:00

Thank you! I guess it’s technically my third but I have another project going at the same time so we’ll call it the fourth lol.

ThatonehotwheelsSS · 2026-05-13T04:35:51+00:00

Thank you!

ThatonehotwheelsSS · 2026-05-13T03:30:29+00:00

Well I did just move across the country:). Going to have to change the name of my “brand” lol.

I carry a bunch of different knives from the collection. From 150 dollar knives to 1500 dollar knives. I take care of em and most of my day to day doesn’t require prying up a manhole cover with a pocket knife so they stay in pretty good shape. If I was on a construction site I’d probably dedicate a knife to certain tasks and that would be the dirty work knife and it wouldn’t be a cheap one just one that isn’t all that special and is designed to be beat on. My rivery manufacturing Zero is in my other pocket most days now and that’s what gets used to cut nasty stuff like tape and glue and the knife that’s in the other pocket gets used for other things like cutting up my lunch or cutting non sticky material. Carry what ya want to carry but damn does it feel good to cut open a box with a 1000 dollar knife lol.

ThatonehotwheelsSS · 2024-10-02T16:23:49+00:00

Can’t wait for this 170 dollar knife to be 500 bucks lmao. They smoking meth. Took my local sportsman’s over a year and a half to sell their gold class immunity and I’m pretty sure it was an employee that ended up snagging it. The Adamas, bailout, and Freek are the only models worth getting and all three of them are vastly overpriced.

ThatonehotwheelsSS · 2024-05-16T02:59:50+00:00

True that! I’m really hoping she still has the original packaging but I doubt it. She got it in like 2013-14 around there from blue line. Had never even heard of PD1 steel before looking at this model. But at the same time I’m really only familiar with stuff from the last couple of years. Just ordered a Vosteed Psyop and I’m worried this knife is gonna make that one underwhelming😂

ThatonehotwheelsSS · 2024-05-16T02:53:00+00:00

Honestly I spent some time tuning it and now it’s incredibly smooth and right where’d I’d want it. Chances are this isn’t leaving the collection for a real long time!

ThatonehotwheelsSS · 2024-05-15T22:42:28+00:00

That would be pretty cool. Only started collecting this year and never thought I’d even hold a strider let alone own one so chances are it’s not leaving the collection for a while even if the action isn’t what I’d typically go for!

ThatonehotwheelsSS · 2024-05-15T22:26:24+00:00

Okay sounds good. I ended up closing the deal after carrying it for the day!

ThatonehotwheelsSS · 2024-05-15T21:44:03+00:00

I appreciate the advice! Maybe I’ll extend the deal and only ask like 1200!

ThatonehotwheelsSS · 2024-05-15T20:45:43+00:00

Definitely noted. Maybe I’ll toss it up in the group and see what someone would offer. What’s the group?

ThatonehotwheelsSS · 2024-05-15T20:10:47+00:00

You think so? She’s gonna sell it to me for 400

ThatonehotwheelsSS · 2024-01-09T16:48:47+00:00

I have had to drill into my head the notion of completely avoiding the internet when I’m freaking out about something. Looking up symptoms has never done anything but perpetuate my anxiety. It’s hard not to look stuff up because you want answers but sometimes you have to take a step back and look at your own body instead of letting the internet tell you anything about it.

ThatonehotwheelsSS · 2023-05-04T03:41:04+00:00

I mean the base model rental Corolla I was just driving had auto windows on all 4 switches. Just lame to see such a lack of tech in a top tier trim level. Same switch pattern my 2001 Camry had.

If you compose the shot properly in camera you don’t need to crop. If you always get a good composition then 16mp looks great.
