[@theknifedoctor]

Awesome!!

[@TimothyCibula-vh5ip]

[@MB_OutdoorsMT]

That Case turned out really good. I'd be pleased with it. I've been attaching a metal loop to a tiny Opinel a few minutes ago. Perfect key-blade.

[@theknifedoctor]

Very cool!! Thanks for sharing this!!

[@davidphipps46]

Just came across your channel and it really made my day. I refer to myself as a knife rescue fella. Over the last 10 years I have been very lucky to find, restore I think well near a 100 knives. I'm always looking behind and around things to find a new to me knife, some even new in the boxes with papers. A question on storing them, a few years ago I started using prescription bottles to keep them in. Works great and with either those silica packs or plain 3-in one oil I've never had any rust. I'm looking forward to watching your videos.

[@theknifedoctor]

Welcome Aboard!!! Thanks for watching!! Thanks for sharing your experience!!

[@davidphipps46]

We will have togo over trift store finds some time.@@theknifedoctor

[@RobertSiwik1968]

Great resto job! I love the sound of the rain on the roof. Remington oil is awesome for guns and knives, you need sponsored! Have a great night!

[@theknifedoctor]

LOL!! Thanks!

[@lowrangeoverland9013]

Outstanding work❗ Well done brother👍🔪🏆

[@theknifedoctor]

Thank you!!

[@thomastommy1192]

My son said to ask you guys something, lol. He wants to know how you get those deals on the knives from eBay? lol. He watches Ebay a lot and he can't find them. He said to tell them enquire minds want to know, lol. Help him out, guys. Thank you many thumbs up for your video.

[@theknifedoctor]

You just have to look and hunt. I always look for knives in need of repair. Theres no secret to it really. Just hunt!!

[@thomastommy1192]

He is just a kid but he does ok for his age. @@theknifedoctor

[@TwinGunz]

Lol😂 what is the noise in the background??? I must have missed it , I assume it’s not a crazy person stuck in a cage 🤣 Love your channel man!!!! I actually look forward to your vids and I’m still watching the old ones.

[@theknifedoctor]

If I remember right it was rain.

[@MrPerry61]

I just mail you a box from Arkansas, Because a man can never have enough knives. lol.

[@theknifedoctor]

LOL!! Thank you!! God Bless!!

[@flknifelife3725]

Love your videos man I’m hooked on them. Could you make a video sometime showing how you fix a knife where the tip sticks out above the handle. I’ve got a lot of slipjoints brand new and the tips are barely under the scales and seems like if I sharpen them too much the tip will be out. Thanks

[@theknifedoctor]

I do that in some videos. The trick is sanding the left side of the tang of the main blade enough to allow the tip to go below the handle. If you lift the main blade and look at the bottom of it where it’s stamped with the Maker Mark…it has a little bump on the lest side. File it down some, not to much though because you’ll loose the nail pull to lift the blade. Thanks for watching!! I truly appreciate your support!!

[@randyzinn548]

I looked upon that exact knife book you have on Amazon and it's $132, I'm going to try and find it used

[@theknifedoctor]

Yeah they’re pricey now. I bought mine new in 2008 for $21. I found the 13th Edition in a thrift store and only paid a few bucks.

[@randyzinn548]

@theknifedr-edc we have a used bookstore so I'm going to go see if they have it there

[@jerryphillips5112]

9 1/2 minutes of pleasure and happiness... 😊

[@williamwest5827]

When you moved to the 3” grinder with the fiber wheel your left arm was blocking out the work performed. Perhaps you could raise the camera angle higher to film over the left hand. I/we are interested in the work and how it’s performed. I know it’s not easy to always adjust the camera angle to capture the work. Thank you for your excellent teaching efforts.

[@theknifedoctor]

Thank you!!

[@user-fh9ul7bk4b]

@ 3:05 are you washing nickles in your laundry

[@marclafrenais6751]

So what coarse belts are you using on that belt sander?

[@theknifedoctor]

240 Grit…but I like a worn out belt. It’s more forgiving.

[@tecnotrog1]

I may have missed it ,but on the wood handle knife it has a 1/2 moon cut out on top. What would that be for anyone know?🦉

[@theknifedoctor]

I don’t know what that was used for. I heard it read somewhere those 1/2 moons on electricians knives were used to help strip the wire.

[@tecnotrog1]

@@theknifedoctor Thank you 🦉✝️

[@Street.Hermit]

how do you like that worksharp pocket stone?

[@theknifedoctor]

Love it!!

[@badboybootz8]

Did you put some of your knives in the dryer? 😂

[@theknifedoctor]

LOL!!

[@larrywillis9589]

Buy your son a ply bar😅

[@travisbell9014]

Why do people use their knives for pry bars? I don't get it.

[@theknifedoctor]

Me either!!! Ina way though I’m glad they do! Job Security!! LOL

[@jerryphillips5112]

What grid of sandpaper you using Doc?

[@theknifedoctor]

240 Grit

[@RoubidouxCreekOutdoors]

Sir, out of the blue question. What Film editing software do you use for your videos?

[@theknifedoctor]

LOL!! I use Power Director all on my phone. It costs $34 a year. It’s very powerful!!

[@branned]

What belt sander grit? What stone on the other grinder?

[@theknifedoctor]

240 grit and it’s a fiber wheel. They sell them at Harbor freight.

[@branned]

@@theknifedoctor Interesting as I have never used a fiber wheel. I think I have heard of them from Scoutcrafter another excellent channel like yours.

[@tomweingart2337]

With your talents you could make a good buck refurbishing eBay knives, damaged ones are DIRT cheap ‼️

[@theknifedoctor]

I used to do that. Sell knives on eBay.

[@randyzinn548]

What kind of spray oil is that you use and where can I get that and the flitz?

[@theknifedoctor]

REM oil…or Remington Gun Oil. Flitz can be purchased on Amazon.

[@randyzinn548]

@theknifedr-edc ok thank you

[@larrywillis9589]

That was easy 20.00 ?😂

[@larrywillis9589]

Is that hail or rain ?

[@theknifedoctor]

Rain. It’s a very thin tin roof.

[@michaelmorrison4843]

What the heck is up with all the noise? It's even worse than hearing the weather channel! 🤔😵😡

[@theknifedoctor]

It was raining!
