Thank you!

[@BennyBraves]

I love the flea market knife hunts! That’s something not many other knife channels do on KZbin. I love the repair too

[@tennesseesmoky9012]

Flea market treasures can be some of the best. Every now and then you can luck into a really good, gently used knife that just needs a good cleanup. Some of the knife sellers are very knowledgeable, however, most don’t really don’t care about the knife cause they’re just looking to make a few bucks. Not every used knife is a candidate for a rescue mission, but there are some that are worth saving. You are truly The Knife Doctor. We always appreciate it when you take us along junking. God bless y’all and enjoy every day. - Tennessee Smoky

Those Flea Market finds are always a joy to find. Most of the people like to stay up front in the newer sections. I like to go digging way in the back of the places. That's where you find the diamonds in the rough at! If can do a little cleaning and fixing. That's the ticket guys!😊

Nice buy on the mess kit w utensils

[@adude7050]

The Swiss knives you can just send back for warranty. The table where you picked up the Gerber Easyout had a nice little Dozier folder right up against the side closest to you. You should have checked that out Kabar used to make those light weight folders pretty inexpensive. That model and Benchmade's Bugout share a lot in common.

[@TheFROSTER420]

This channel is such a gem! I really enjoy the hunting for the knives,and then fixing them up. Something I'd like to try one day.

[@theknifedoctor]

Awesome!! Thank you! It’s a lot fun, you need to try it! Thanks again for the support!

Such great finds looking for to the follow up videos

[@theknifedoctor]

Thank you!

[@A.MCollects]

The local flea markets around my area are great but the prices are outrageous plus you see people on their phones with Ebay looking up prices showing how much their worth and then get all mad when you try to get them to come down a little. One guy had some stuff we were really interested in but he wouldn't budge off the price and then got mad caused we asked if he would take 5 dollars less. He said I ain't giving it away and I see why people wasn't even stopping by his tables. Anyways I'm a new to the channel just found it and subbed. Keep up the great videos!

[@theknifedoctor]

Welcome Aboard!! Thanks for sharing this and Merry Christmas!!

[@rogerstlaurent8704]

It always seems like the flea market vendors with the highest prices are the least likely to haggle with you. It's like they meant to open a retail store but made a wrong turn and ended up at the flea market by mistake.
