Hello again. As I promised I was going to do unboxing video and I'm not going to keep
you guessing what it is. It says YouTube on it so as you remember February 3rd of
this year this channel to reach 100,000 subscribers and it took it took about
close to 2 months for me to get notified that I was going to get a silver button
and once I got the code from YouTube I submitted it and it took another two
months for it to arrive so with that said I would like to open it. When I
design a knife I go through a lot of thinking how I'm going to make a knife
the way I'm going to approach it what tools I'm going to use what steps so
with that said I believe this box deserve special kind of opening or
unboxing so let's go outside and open it. as always I start with Dykem Blue
let's go take a look inside
a letter from Susan and it says you've just done......... I'm going to frame this one
and put it up on my wall. All right here we go. I would let you see it first,
because you are the ones who made this channel this big so you deserve it I
mean even though I put out the videos if you guys didn't watch them you didn't
subscribe my channel would be nowhere close to where it is right now so you
deserve to see it first let me know how it looks okay. Is it nice?
Wow
SLAVIK TELY hundred thousand subscribers
never I thought I'd be holding this in my hands. So looking back when I posted my
first knife video it's coming up close to two years I never thought that I
would have a YouTube channel. All I did was post one knife video and never
thought it would reach over a hundred thousand subscribers but one thing led
to another you know a lot of people liked the video that I posted and I decided to
keep going and make youtube videos that consist of videogame knives and in
between I added my design so that's how my channel grew. To keep this channel
going I spent a lot of sleepless nights a lot of time went into designing knives
and making them making a video spend a lot of time in the heat and the cold
under the rain and but you know it all paid off as you can see right here this
is the payoff I never imagined that I would have a channel this big that I
would be able to interact with fans from all over all over the world and it's
it's been a nice ride talking to all of you if it was very pleasing to meet all
of you all the fans that took away their precious time from a day to watch my
videos that I have constructed and placed on YouTube and from the all the
comments that I get a lot of you really really enjoy watching them and I thank
you for that all the fans that are brand new to this channel I welcome you
I hope to keep going with this channel and to continue entertain you this is
still my hobby I have a day job so if I don't post a lot of videos please take
that into consideration I have a family to feed and that's the number one
priority and after that comes the hobby which is a knife making I would like
to give a little update on this channel basically when I started about close to
two years ago after I posted my first video I saw how
much people loved that video and I gave all I had to make more videos more to
put them out more often and what it did to me is basically wore me out
basically I tried to put as much time as possible into making the knife after I
was finished with the first knife I went on making second third you know without
taking any breaks and took my time away from family friends from sleep so
basically I want to reverse all that and put my life first family you know and
then put YouTube on the second place so I'll be taking a little bit easier this
time and but I'll still I'll still post quality videos for you those of you that
follow me on Instagram or snapchat you know the crazy hours I work during the
summer and but wintertime when the rains a lot I stay home so you'll see more
videos during winter time than the summer time this channel started with
this knife like I said I posted it two years ago almost two years ago and some
of you want to see all the knives I have this is the second one I made I believe
the second one third one and then the rest are sold then came this one
the Seraga knife these are all sold they're just waiting to be delivered to
the customers one of them is gone this one is going out to another customer and
the very latest knife so these are all the knives I still have on me
like I said all these knives are sold they're just waiting to be shipped out
and this is what I have left
and I'm not selling these last four as I said before if I miss your comments on
YouTube or Google or Instagram I apologize because there's only one of me
and there's thousands of you so I try my best to reply to the questions and some
comments for those of you that are new to this channel I have plenty of videos
for you to watch I have created a playlist where you could see the video
game knives or you could see the custom knives that I came up with so I created a
different playlist for you guys check them out once again it's been a pleasure
to meet all of you on YouTube from all different parts of the world I get to
interact with you answer your question comments ah there were a lot of knife
makers that inspired me to start making knives and because of that I started
making knives and from what I see right now I have a lot of people new knife
makers that started making their own knives they send me pictures on
Instagram and it's quite pleasing to see that there is a growing community of
knife makers because somebody decided to make a knife and post it on YouTube and
from that it's like a pyramid you know a lot of knife makers are coming out with
their beautiful creations so thank you for sharing your knives that were
inspired by me I appreciate that to all the knife makers out there
the new ones I bless you all I wish you all the best with your craftsmanship and
do your best and the best customers will come to you to the knife makers out
there that are maybe a little bit discouraged or bummed out because they
don't have fancy tools machinery don't don't feel bad
I started out like that I still don't have that many tools that I would like
to have just remember this way back Japanese sword makers and other knife
makers out there didn't have no power tools and they still created
beautiful artifacts so it just because you have some fancy machine all it does
is you might cut down on your time that it takes for you to make a knife but it
does not improve your craftsmanship craft craftsmanship is within you the
machines just speed it up once again thank you for all your support I read
all your comments I reply to a few of them but thank you appreciate it now to the
YouTube creators that are creating their own channel and are a little bit down
because their channel is not grown as fast as they expected when I started my
youtube channel it didn't grow it didn't grow fast in the beginning and then it
took off there were knife makers that were ahead of me by 100,000 subscribers and I
thought I would never reach them but over time over close to two years now I
have surpassed the subscribers on their channel I'm not bragging about it but
but there are channels like Alec Steele I believe I was at 100,000 subscribers
and he had only 25,000 subscribers right now his channel is a 288 thousand
subscribers so he blew by me with his subscribers like a Ferrari so basically
what it shows is that I if you put in a lot of work and show creativity in your
channel you your channel can grow really fast and it just depends what kind of
content you're putting out there so don't get discouraged just work at it and
be yourself also I see a lot of people post comments subscribe to my channel or
I'll do a follow for follow on Instagram just just my suggestion don't get the
numbers don't let the numbers get to you they're
just numbers you're not doing anything or anybody a favor by doing a
follow for a follow just be yourself stay humble and the people will
see your creations and they'll come to you as it as is you you don't prove
anything with the numbers they're just numbers just because I have so many
followers on Instagram or on YouTube it doesn't mean anything
like I said they're just numbers just be yourself
I usually promote only the channels where I get my knowledge and information
from channels like Ekim Knives, Walter Sorrells, Nick Wheeler, Aaron Gough,
Simple Little Life, channels that I personally gain knowledge from and that
helped me throughout my youtube career or hobby and I just recently found
another channel called Hoffman Blacksmithing and if you don't know
about him he was on Forged in Fire. He forges axes he forges Damascus steel he
was like I said on Forged in Fire and he won the competition so if you guys want
to check him out and follow him just let him know where you came from let him
know who sent you to him and give him a follow if you can. He's a good guy
and right now to finish off this video I would like to say thank you in 31
languages hopefully I don't butcher your language with my accent:
I love Italian language they so
exaggerated everything I love Japanese because when you watch
their videos or any they do everything is precise clean, neat
simple that's what I love about Japanese culture
Korean food good stuff
In Russian- Thank you all who follows my channel
Mexican food-excellent.
I hope you guys all
understood what I said and I wish you the best
take care and I'll see you with another video bye bye
