What’s up bro are you still sharpening

You make some good points pick one and stick at.

Messed up. Simple green is a degreaser. The harder and less porous stone will be the easiest to clean. Plus the stone was dirtier. That matters. I know trying to clean concrete is almost imposdible when that dark. Where was the stone broken in half?

Brother if you have strops or anything for sale. Please holler at me

I bought one from Amazon for 15 bucks. I found the green compound does best. Dam dude I wish you would come back. But I understand move on to bigger and better things. You have my blessing brother 💯

What does he mean by “profile “?

I have the three Arks, and I'll probably get the translucent in the future. Of the soft and hard, the one labeled soft is the solid white stone, and the hard is the white marble one, but the hard feels much rougher. Are they mislabeled, or do I need to work on them more?

Do a video man!

It's me again. I just got a primitive cut from Dan's. It's not that big. But I love it. Bubba I wish you still had those. Yessir 👍

What a time capsule this video turned out to be. Purebloods were right.

What’s the name of that knife?

Bubba that blowed my mind what you told me. If your happy than I'm happy for you. BTW do you have any stone's you want to get rid of?

Man I really like that old esse Btw I hope you get in the mood to make a video sometime . Hint hint. LOL

Bro I'm 62 and it's awesome to see the younger generations carrying on the tradition. I've learned a lot from you. Bubba don't ever stop.

I would love to try one

Years later but here is my 2¢. Using pliers, I break the blades into 3-4 inch pieces. Drill holes for lanyard as needed. I also file down the teeth of the hack saw blade. This keeps the HS blade from tearing up your ferro rod. Not all they way but half the original height. The blades are flexible when cut to the right length. The flexing does a lot of the work for you and it seems to make directing the sparks easier. Also, Magnesium shavings can be made by using a drill to create the shavings. The coarseness of the shavings depends on the size of the drill bit. It is probably cheaper to just buy by the bag but you can make some for that weekend outing if you do not have the bagged magnesium on hand. Harbor Freight still sells the magnesium striker bars for $1.69 each.

Dam it man. That is one beautiful stone.

You know man I'm the only one at work that is into knife sharpening. But I swear when I order a stone I feel like a kid at Christmas waiting for that thing to get here. It's a awesome hobby. BTW and it takes a lot of skill too. LOL

Bubba it's 4 years later and I just got over that crap. It's here to stay.

I've sharpen on the top of my truck window. It's ok. Far from great. LOL 😂

Man that diamond stone is huge. Where should I go to get me a top quality diamond stone?

Man that is the coarsest stone I've seen. Would be good for those crappy jobs. You know what I mean. LOL 😹

what ever happened to the rooster?

Well bubba i found a couple videos i haven't seen. I just gotta say I have never been a fan of spiderco. I know I'm weird. LOL 🤣

Hey brother i don't want to run this in the ground. But I wish you would make a new video. BTW what good diamond bench Stone would you recommend that I get. I've heard too many negative things about the DMT . There quality have went down hill big time. I've heard it from too many people.

If anyone reading this is serious about learning to sharpen freehand, listen to what this man says, follow his teachings, have patience, and you will be seeing improvement in no time.

Very useful video. Thank you. I just found your channel. It’s great. One thing though. I’m an old man. I’ve been using email since 1993 and the Web since 1994. People have been being rude little jackasses on here since then. Just ignore these fools. Because they will not stop.

That is such a beautiful stone (grey and white)

You know I've been thinking about this video, and concluded I don't think this comparison is quite right after all because we're comparing a heavy duty degreaser to a regular one. To make this fair, I think we need to compare heavy duty with heavy duty. Try with Simple Green Pro HD (HD standing for Heavy Duty) against Dawn Heavy Duty and see which one comes on top from that. Simple green has a different makeup and composition than Pro HD and they're both purple as well by the way.

Hard to watch your videos. All the "uh" and "um"s every other word.

Bubba I need some advice? I've got a Dan's hard. Absolutely love the thing. But literally after about 3 or 4 knives I can feel the thing getting smoother. It's getting glazed already. In your opinion what is the easiest and best way to touch that thing up. Should I get me a pocket diamond hone or go with the wet / dry sandpaper?

Bubba I got me a Dan's translucent. Ooooooo yeah I paid for it. But man it was worth every penny. OMG that thing cuts so good 💯.

Man I really love that stone. Beautiful

"HOLY SHIT THAT MOTHERFUCKER IS SHARP" 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Wait so you're telling me if I want a real Dan's Arkansas Stone translucent or black I have to order it and wait 2 years????? Dude what takes it so long? Like that alone is stopping me from getting a good stone because I'm way too impatient to wait too freaking years. Like kind of disappointed but it seems like this is a marketing strategy by Dan to only release so many a year to keep the price and the rarity and prestige around his brand of stones because if it's hard to get and you got to get on a waiting list it makes it seem like you got to be part of the inside club to get it. That might be why people use cheap stones that you hate on them for because people don't want to just sit around and wait for 2 years for a sharpening stone. I guess I'm going with diamond plates 😭. Damn Dan

Well shoot I was about to purchase some atoma diamond plates but you just sold me on buying a translucent and a black dans. I'm looking at it as more of a precious mineral than I am a tool

I just got a Dan's translucent. This thing cuts so good. I like it better than my black arkansas. Great investment. BTW I really enjoy your videos. Dam good stuff

Hey rooster are you doing well? Hope so. Watching the new fallout series?

I've never owned a washita. Hopefully one day I'll run into a good buy on eBay or find one at a flea market or something like that. Great collection you got.

Whr to buy ?

Sharp. Love the old ka bar

I don't mean to be a broken record. But u-tube can really suck. Channels that you can learn something good and that is fun to watch. But on the other hand they pay these idiots to do all this dumb crap and they're getting filthy rich off of it. What is wrong with this picture

I've got a much younger friend that I'm trying to learn how to free hand. He had one of those things. It has almost ruined his blade it is removed so much steel. Well anyway he don't have it anymore. LOL

Of all my Stones I do not have a washita. I would love to know. LOL.

You have a good point. Bro I've seen some new knife designs that are ugly as crap. Absolutely impractical as hell. LOL

I get my best edges when I'm feeling good. Mentally and physically

Hey bubba what is your opinion of Flissa knives? I've got 2 and for the money. They are awesome

The only bad thing about this is I didn't find your channel sooner.

I've got the Norton crystlon and the India. Both are awesome stones
