This is the assembly of the knife made by YouTuber "AvE." The "knife" is sold as a "blade holder" and comes in parts that need to be cleaned up and assembled. It is made of stainless steel and titanium parts and is designed to hold a 25mm or 1" snap-off blade.

AvE has a few videos about this knife and the assembly of it. My video shows the clean up of the parts, the assembly, and my thoughts on the knife.

I took a bit more time to clean up the parts than AvE does in his assembly video though the total time was not more than a half hour. I could have taken more time to get a mirror finish, or to make the edges perfect, but I was running short on time, and after all, it's a utility knife; I plan to use it not look at it.

The knife has a nice weight to it and feels very solid. The action on it is rough at first but gets better if you take the time to sand the internals and I assume it will get smoother over time.

A couple things that I noticed that could be improved are that the screws protrude out the back, the edges are not very clean or line up well, and I'd like it if it had a belt clip.

Overall this knife is very nice looking and feels nice in the hand. The push-button action is smooth if you take the time to get it there. It's pretty close to "one-of-a-kind" at the moment but I know my coworkers will be asking me where to get it. The price is steep for a utility knife but taking into account the materials and the quantity being made I think it's worth it.
