[@AtimatikArmy]

Brilliant video!! Natural abrasive polishing compound, duh (I say to self wishing I had thought of it!). I love these short but rich content videos that this channel posts. This channel really deserves more credit then it is getting.

[@mellowfellow918]

nice vid. Just commenting. to. raise. it. UP!. Good work!

[@DamienBeltrami]

Atimatik Army couldn't have said it better myself

[@AtimatikArmy]

Hey buddy, how you doing?!! I also saw that you follow J Mantel also (I love that channel!)! Whats you got going on these days; I'm sure it's something interesting! I'm gunna go get caught up on your latest vids right now!

[@sondyed777]

You communicate well. You know what you're talking about without coming across as a know it all and it's all short and sweet. Thank you, sir.

[@ThomasOGrady77]

I like how you get straight to the point and explain everything clearly.

[@MikeMuralt]

Missed you John! You've made some of the most useful outdoor video that are packed with good tips on KZbin!

[@IntenseAngler]

Thanks Mike... I really appreciate that brother!

[@thorninthyflesh]

Well that was awesome. I had no idea that was possible. Thank you for sharing John!

[@IntenseAngler]

thorninthyflesh My pleasure :) Really glad to hear that you enjoyed this one!

[@CircaSriYak]

This is actually a wickedly genius way to sharpen a knife. Thanks!

[@pisuarez]

It's so good to have you back John!!! Your great tips, hiking and backpacking blogs, your DIY gear... WE REALLY MISSED YOU!!!!

[@IntenseAngler]

Thank you my brother... can't tell ya how much that means man!

[@AnArmAndAGreg]

Welcome back. Great to see you back on KZbin.

[@IntenseAngler]

Thanks my friend... great to be back :)

[@denisescott7245]

never heard of using paracord as a strop like that, thanks for the tip...good to see you again!

[@freedomforever45]

Always love new Paracord tricks 👍

[@shcmoly]

I believe in stroping regularly instead of waiting for chips to break out the stones / rods. Here is a DIY field strop, great tip, thanks John!

[@bobbyjewell8967]

we did this with our Gerber multitool in the field sometimes while serving in the Army. It truly does make a difference.

[@CptBeardo]

This is why I subbed this channel. Great ideas and a relaxed presentation. Always happy to watch a new video. Thanks, John!

[@billthompson5644]

you're a great man and hopefully never underappreciated. First video I watched of yours I subscribed ,thank you so much again

[@stevekushman3030]

Excellent tip. I had never heard of this method before. A piece of paracord & a little mud never hurt anyone.

[@WarGrrl3]

great tip, love useful, user friendly fixes. I only got into stropping my blades recently and wonder why I wasn't doing it all along. the clay based mud is brilliant. ty for this useful info.

[@a.j.appleseed800]

These are the 2 things that I never leave home without, so this is actually really handy. Thanks!

[@dhbc4783]

welcome back buddy! you are truly a wealth of knowledge and your delivery style is so smooth. glad you're​ back.

[@IntenseAngler]

Thanks my brother... really appreciate that!

[@OUTDOORS55]

Nice vid my friend! I have used this method before, only with soft wood. Never thought about using paracord.👍 Nice you see you making videos again👊

[@CristianoNogueiraBushcraft]

Really great to have you back, John. God bless you and help you find that balance point!

[@steverogers4612]

I love Paracord and I love knives. never leave the house without either. Brilliant mate, I figured using a leather belt; but out in the wilderness, when one isn't available, absolutely Brilliant!

[@gjscorpius6639]

This video is a continuation of your previous work. I've been following you for a long while and am grateful that you have returned from your sabbatical. Thank you for (sometimes rambling) updates. It brings out your humanity and relatability, Keep up the good work and post at your leisure. The outdoors SHOULD be enjoyed while YOU ARE THERE! Thanks for bringing the rest of us along.

[@jasonspry5156]

I always appreciate the length of your videos. A lot of information crammed into a couple of minutes.

[@nihallee]

It's cool that you are back with the channel !! You keep thanking us but I wanted to thank you !! Keep it up !

[@IntenseAngler]

You're very welcome... it's definitely my pleasure Brother!

[@bobbyf7151]

that kind of info is exactly why I'm so glad your back! THANKS

[@IntenseAngler]

Thanks Bobby... really appreciate that my friend!

[@johnnyrebel5458]

I tried this and it works!!! Not as well as I hoped but it does the job good enough to keep the knife going. Great job!!

[@Aco747lyte]

I learnt this many years ago; the paracord acts like a whetstone, and it works very well indeed. I'm new to this channel and very pleased I found it. Best wishes from Wendi UK 🌻

[@IntenseAngler]

Hey Wendi... it's great seeing your comment here. Yeah, the paracord does indeed work like a whetstone and performs very well... you said it perfectly 👌 Thank you so much for your kind words and support of the channel... it truly means a lot to me! 🌻 So very glad to have you here, and I look forward to hearing more from you 😊 All the best.... -John

[@wilneish6086]

Glad your back. Always love the quick tips. Keep em coming.

[@trynsurviven2440]

You know I'm going to put this in my bag of tricks..great to have you back on the Tube.

[@inspireAson]

Always good to have more options in the ol' bag of tricks. Great tip, John! :) - Chris

[@IntenseAngler]

The more the better, eh Chris. Thanks by the way buddy!

[@brianhetrick1301]

John, I have seen this used with leather belts but never rope of any kind. AWESOME!!! GREAT post, keep em coming.

[@marcclarke01]

Really nice field-improvised strop. Thank you for the clear and easy-to-understand video.

[@JerryMckelvey]

Another very good way to sharpen knives while in the bush. Thanks for sharing. God Bless

[@jeffreybarger7062]

Brilliant idea. Glad to see you back up and running. Thank you for all your fun and helpful tips.

[@rayhutfles3997]

So glad you are back. And starting off with a great video! Thank you.

[@IntenseAngler]

Really appreciate that Brad! Glad to hear that you enjoyed the vid my friend :)

[@grizzlytaco3447]

John, thats a cool idea! I would have never thought you could sharpen a knife with para cord! Thanks for sharing Buddy!

[@IntenseAngler]

Grizzlytaco Thanks my brother! Great hearing from ya by the way. Hope all's been well my friend!

[@grizzlytaco3447]

IntenseAngler Thanks! All is good, just working alot! Hope all is well with you!

[@MARLEYFANcbr]

Great tip. I always have those 2 things on a backpacking trip, so this could come in handy. It would be great to see another backpacking video from you again.

[@RealtreeGrizzlyBear]

The simple things in life really are the best. Brilliant! New Aussie subscriber ✌🏼

[@IntenseAngler]

Simple is always good :) Thanks for the sub and support by the way brother... it's very much appreciated! Best... -John

[@Diggit7979]

Fantastic, you are back! Glad you are well. I have missed your videos. I truly enjoy the way you produce your content. Especially the solo outings with your dog. Thanks again.

[@tommypetraglia4688]

tie between 2, one side like shown, second with bowline around but 2 inches big, use short stout stick in loops to winndlass tension the line, then medium tension to load grit, then twisting tight to strop blade with one hand free Really dig your vids. Thanks for sharing things you've found it's how knowledge gets around and you do mellow well

[@martinmoskowitz4069]

That video was OUTSTANDING! Well done, short & to the point. Pun intended. I never knew you could do that with paracord, & I've been using the stuff for decades! Thanks for adding to my "trick" arsenal. I just suscribed to your channel. I'm looking forward to seeing what's next.

[@ScrambledO]

The legend is back. Glad to see you in front of the camera again.

[@IntenseAngler]

Oh hey, the infamous Scrambled O is in the house... right on! Awesome hearing from ya buddy. Hope all's been well my friend! :)

[@ScrambledO]

You were one of the first guys on KZbin that got me interested in the outdoors. Your tips of the week and your Super Ultralight Backpacking trip video roped me in. Gonna have to rewatch all your videos on the next rainy day :)

[@IntenseAngler]

Can't tell you how awesome that is to hear Brother. Gotta say that we're all fortunate to have you as a part of the community man... you bring a style that's fun, informative, and all your own :) P.S. I would recommend just going out and standing in the rain rather than bearing through some of my old vids ;) haha

[@MeetMeOutside]

John, great idea ! A really portable strop ! Like I said in your "return " video you are awesome, whatever you have to offer is always welcome man! Peace

[@jcarpy75]

Thanks John, another great tip. Everyone has Paracord on them and can make mud. Also I wanted to let you know I watched your Paracord zipper pull video a couple of years ago and have made hundreds of them in various sizes and colors for everything that has a zipper. Thank you for sharing your tips and knowledge.

[@pascalmarti4403]

you're back! so good to see you again john. missed your vids. thank you for the excellent work.

[@sergebedard5746]

Thanks John for this great tip , I need to try that one ! Great to have you back !!!

[@jjo5375]

The simple logic of this is great! Thanks! : )

[@IntenseAngler]

My pleasure :) Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment... it's very much appreciated!

[@genemcvay4800]

Absolutely smart! Will remember to use that technique! Thanks from Prague!

[@72A1D372]

Glad to see the Quick Trick videos are back. Great job! Useful info!

[@frozenpoet]

welcome back bud. your vids helped me a lot when i first started to get into backpacking. I'm glad you're back.

[@SharpWorks]

Looks sharp! Never saw paracord being used to sharpen a blade. It's similar to taking your belt, wrapping it around a thin tree, slap on some mud, and go to town in the same way.

[@-Rome-]

Thank you for this tip! Would love to see a comparison of sharpness before and after.

[@IntenseAngler]

Rome M You're very welcome! That's a great idea by the way. I'll make sure to use this method in one of my upcoming vids under "real world" in-the-field conditions :)

[@getoffmylawn8986]

One I've used for decades...roll the car or truck window about half way down and use the rough top edge of the window as a stone. Works every time.

[@negpimawon]

welcome back brother, we missed you! I loved this video man, such an awesome idea!

[@IntenseAngler]

Luke Peacock Thanks bro... really means alot man! Stoked to hear that you enjoyed the vid. Appreciate ya taking the time to watch and drop a comment by the way! ATB -John

[@Psychonaut273]

Nice idea. I've always got my knife and also paracord with me, when I'm out in the woods, but I haven't ever sharpened my knife with. I will give it a try. Thanks a lot, John. Atb, Christian from Germany

[@michaelvogel4953]

I'm so glad you're back on KZbin! Great tip, my friend.

[@DeweyKentM]

Awesome video! I would have never thought to do anything remotely like this. What a perfect video to start again on.

[@edmondvodochodsky8208]

Yet ANOTHER use for paracord! Is there anything it cannot do? GREAT video! Also - for that bag-o-tricks - the "frosted" edge of your car window, you know - the part that has the 'ground-edge' so it doesn't cut you,..... has just enough 'grit' to it to put a nice edge back on a knife as well. The bottom of an everyday coffee mug has this same "grit" in it as well. A few strokes and,........ back in business!

[@stettan1754]

Coincidentally, right before I saw this video, and the "update video," I said to myself, "whatever happened to the IntenseAngler guy?" And voila...here you are! Welcome back!

[@dwightfletcher8603]

i just tried this. wow!!! what a finished edge. i know keep some cord in my fishing bag....

[@terrymoulder]

Outstanding and makes sense, defiantly a good on to have in the knowledge pocket.

[@IntenseAngler]

Thank you. Really glad to hear that you found it a keeper :)

[@jerrodmorgan1374]

Most of the time I watch a video then it's on to the next. This time I had to scroll down to say thank you! Should have said it before since it's not the first time I've learned something from you. So THANK YOU... not just for this video but your channel. Good stuff.

[@rainbowhiker]

John, you're a genius. Excellent idea. Next time I head up to 'the camp' I'm going to try this, if, I can find some clay. Thanks amigo.

[@IntenseAngler]

rainbowhiker Well I don't know about the genius part buddy... but I'll take it ;) lol. Seriously.. great hearing from you my friend! Lookin' forward to catching up on all the videos that you've been posting :) All the best! -John

[@musicandcoffee2853]
