Project Update: Why Your Knives SUCK - The VKS Design Video
I'm about to pass out.
My hands hurt from marathon editing and filming sessions, I'm on 2.5 hours of sleep, and we're quickly approaching the end.
There's been so much to do. Over the last month, I wanted to be able to do more, but unlucky circumstances meant that our focus had to be turned towards other things. A lot of people got sick, some even hospitalized, and it's been tough.
But here we are.
Almost at the finish line. Just a few steps away.
This video took a ton of work, a lot of editing, and a lot of passion. It's both the explanation of how the VKS was designed, but also has... some interesting quirks about it, let's say.
There's a puzzle to solve, a link to find, and the story of VKS has already started.
Good luck.

Project Update: FINALLY REVEALED: THE PROTOTYPES
I CAN'T WAIT TO USE IT AND SHOW YOU GUYS MORE!
This user contributed to this community!
Do Tier 3 and up get the upgraded honing rod? Or should I add it to my order if I want to get the one that matches the knife handles?
Project Update: Achievements 1 & 2 unlocked, stretch goals completed!
That means FREE peelers will be going out to all Tier 3+ backers, and we'll be upgrading the honing rod to have a colorful resin handle as well!
We also just ended the 5 hour long stream, and then found out we forgot to turn on the VOD feature. Whoops!
I have the recording though, so we'll be able to upload that, at least, but that might take a bit.
Thank you for your support everyone!
