Much obliged to you Sir…, I ain’t seen that since I was a Kid. However that’s exactly the way our Daddy did it! Now you got me thinkin’…, I got a Buck Knife the Neighbor Kid gifted me that needs to be sharpened!

A bearded man in a nice shirt with torn elbows freezing in a shed while doing handicrafts... *are we the same person* ???

What whetstone grit do you recommend?

What is the purpose of burning the handle

nice saddle hatchet . looks great

Get a Case Sodbuster Jr.

Love my Axes

I’ve got an oldie that was my grandfathers, I’m 60 now. Can’t remember the brand but, it must have taken a bad side hit at some point in its life. But the V notch it is broken towards the front. After watching this hafting or re-hafting I’m inspired to cut it down and create a shinglers ax/hammer. Its height should be at least 2.5-3”, perfect to nip of stray small young shoots and limbs in the summer and then do kindling duty in the fall and winter. I’d probably polish the head a bit more just to make it slip through the kindling better. Like you, I wouldn’t clean the eye too much as some rust left will help grip the new haft too. I might use a contrasting wedge wood color for kicks. But, I WILL certainly use the Shou Shugi Bon torch work on the haft to give it some contrast and protection. Maybe go darker and sand back a bit before I hit it with some polymerizing oil like the linseed oil. thanks for the content. I enjoyed it a lot. You got out of it.

A big blade to peel taters and apples, a smaller blade to sharpen your pencil.

I restored an old Plumb hewing hatchet recently, that someone in the past had the bright idea to try and file a double bevel in it and stopped about halfway through there process. Bought it at a yard sale, saw the potential, flattened it back out a bit, polished it up, and hung a new handle, took off the varnish on the handle of course and three coats of boiled linseed oil, along with a light coat of paste wax, and it's a completely restored heirloom that is absolutely something I restored with my own two hands.

Dude you look so sophisticated with the beard look going on! Love your videos, especially enjoying seeing you and how you restore historical relics and things that a man should appreciate how to do and work with. Keep up the good work!

Hello sir I just stopped in here because I wanted to hear your review but I have to ask you a very honest question what is the deal with your vest I really like it where did you get it from thank you kindly

You madw this a bit more complicated than it needs to be. Jewelers rouge is red. It is iron oxide. Rouge is the french word for the color red. The green paste is chromium oxide. It is about twice as coarse as iron oxide. Iron oxide is used after chromium oxide. A buffing wheel with a compound will make a knife sharp. It will not leave as good of an edge as can be had. It will heat the fine part of the edge excessively and round it. Use a bench stone to set the bevel. When a bevel is set it will shave hair and paper. The coarse side of a norton india will acheive this. A stone that coarse is only needed for repairing a damaged edge. A good medium stone such as the fine side of the norton india or an arkansas hard is a good place to start on a dull knife. After making sure it will slice paper or shave hairs move to a smooth finishing stone. Microbevel it on the fine stone and be done. If you want a rounded edge strop on a pasted strop.

Get the carbon steel it’s so much better

Hathorne explorers, I have had a pair for over fifteen years best boots I ever wore. Use them near daily

Aussie Whipmaker here; I gotta have me knives so sharp i can shave a mouses whisker in its sleep. I always use the hair side of the leather with autosol (automotive polishing compound) on it put a few good layers when its fresh but as it gets used just put a thin paste on it and let it dry as ya need it, I find that works better then anythin else for me! Anyway keep it up mate!!

no comments? Let me fix that😊

all-time most memorable movie scene is the waitress from hell or highwater saying. WHAT DONT YA WANT. some things are just to astonishingly simple and will last several lifetimes has more pins & heavier build and lock back that other sodbusters don't have, and many people have case like me, but a carl is less common so it's interesting and c75 is likely to stay sharp longer to?

That knife’s way over priced. I can buy a Case sodbuster yellow delrin in carbon steel for $39.

I just can't get a consistent angle freehanding it, mostly due to my clumsiness, so I just use a clamp-on Gatco sharpener with diamond stones. I get the edge as good as anyone could ever hope to have that way.

You got bigger balls than I do brother, dem bad boys are a little much to city slicker for my personal taste but im not judging cowpoke 😅

i have the small and large sodbusters from imperial great for cleaning fish and small game, single blade and no complications makes it really easy to clean and they slice real good!

Whats the price at little joes?

The first sod buster I have seen that is a lock blade. Every one I have seen are slip joint knives. I prefer to carry a lock blade knife for working.

Looks like a great knife . I carry yellow delrin case soddy every day

No lock, no clip, no one hand opening. All those are red flags for EDC in my book, to each their own I guess

I have a case sod buster XL. I really wish it was a lock back.

I love Sodbusters but I like them with a heavy backspring. This one sounds kinds soft from the click. $200 is also rather over priced for a Sodbuster. $100 or less will do you fine. $200 is not a no-nonsense price.

Amen, the catalogue now looks like where you outfit to walk down the street in Aspen

I have one cool liner lock, one Buck lockback, and the rest of my knives are just plain old folding knives.

Have an old Boker Gaucho sod buster thats very similar to the Schliepner eye you've shown though mine has lost its belly do to many cycles across Arkansas stone even though the materials are cheap looking the knife is very light for the size and overtime has not failed in anyway after decades of use.

Thats a nice knife,i carry a moore maker trapper as my EDC

Thats a solid knife Brother 🇺🇸 🇳🇿

Thank you! I had purchased some pull through sharpening deal that chewed up my buck knife and I've been nervous since to even try on a stone. My first attempt with a back and forth motion didn't do much. I found your video, followed along and by the time we finished I was able to shave my arm right along with you! Tried another knife...razer sharp as well. You made it so dang easy, I never expected such success right out of the gate. I appreciate you.

Great knife D!!!! Love it!🎉🎉

2 Hundred bucks ? Pass Too rich for my blood I have a Case sodbuster jr.

Otter Messer has a medium size soddy with a micarta handle. Basically same length as a full size trapper. Much better size than a soddy jr.

I carried one for years but it wasn’t near that big.

I cook on mine every night. That's cool man looks just like mine
