For any who haven't seen it, here is the segment on Case knives from the show "How It's Made".

Enjoy...

I have never seen that, very interesting. Sort of a combination of high speed production with handfitting and indivdual detail work at the end of the process.
 
You are very welcome, guys.

It's a great show which I watch regularly, that they did a segment on Case knives was just an added bonus. :)
 
Thanks for posting! it is nice to see how they combine mass production with a personal handcrafted touch as well.
 
Thanks for posting that.I watch the show every so often but haven't seen that 1.I wanna see a How it's made on how they make some of the machines that make the stuff.
 
I have that recorded on dvd. I also have a hour long tour done by the Pennsylvania Cable Network. They do tours of factories and places in PA. Nice show. Like the How It's Made show, but obviously more detail in each area. And done by the president or some bigwig.

hmmm id love to try that and make my own slipjoint. looks like a blast and a good way to pass time. thanks for the vid, great info.
 
Thanks for posting! I had seen it some time back, but really wasn't into slippies so much then. Now I see it with a new appreciation. :D
 
That's freaking amazing. I really had no idea that much automation went into it.

I wonder when they anneal the blade tang why part of the blade cutting area gets annealed also and if it hurts anything?
 
That's great, thanks for the link! I'd love to visit the plant in person and watch them work (I know they don't do that, but it would be fun).

I saw a similar segment on "How it's Made" on Victorinox the other day. It was pretty cool, but Vic chumped out and wouldn't let the cameras record how they grind their blades. I'm assuming it's just a Swiss dude in a suit, sitting in a darkened room, furrowing his brow and grinding the blades with the raw power of his mental concentration.

They did show one of the assemblers put together a Champ- that was pretty impressive. The girl was AMAZINGLY fast and precise. And the Victorinox plant was spotless- very Swiss.
 
This is a very cool segment. I saw one like it from the Victronix folks a while back.

If anyone can find the Victorinox segment, please post it. I've been looking but can't seem to find it.
Thanks.
