if there is a paradise, then it looks like this. air, friends, dogs and favorite work.

[@Little_River_Forge]

I’m gonna come pitch a tent in the yard by your shop and just watch all day, and just learn as much as I can lol

[@tylerhebert8237]

I'm a certified personal trainer and one thing I always say is, "There's 101 ways to do this, we just need to find the way that works for you." Good to know it applies to multiple disciplines.

[@plectrumura]

Hey you said to include a comment on what you'd like to see a tutorial on. Forging integral damascus bolsters and shaping them on the grinder would be my vote. It requires shaping the bolster and handle separately and I've just never been able to figure that out in a way that makes it easy. Thanks for all the knowledge.

[@tomafenes3330]

I'm also looking forward to it.

[@samsmith2635]

Gonna need to get some of that Wootz to make "Damascus"

[@franciscoferraz6788]

I wish so bad that you'd make more forging videos on here. That 1 hour long chef knife video was so gooood. And your vibes are amazing man, always laughing and positive, I love it.

[@Dk20Silver]

God bless you. i know the pain of no money from yt. its hard to keep wanting to do it. but i love you and your content keep blessing us with your smile, kind spirit and knowledge. all the best man!

[@guindesign4458]

MAN!!!! I've been trying to figure out how not to mess up the tips of my knives. Never I mean never has anyone I've asked or watched been like yeah just stop in the middle of the belt. Thank you so much!! I've been self conscious about how my tips look lol.

[@EliTheEnlightened]

That bad ass feeling when you have been intuitively sharpening the same way the pro does.

[@jmac822]

Thank you neil and Dane, I really appreciate the videos you guys put your time and effort into. I came across Neil Kamimura a while ago and find him as one of the most honest and no bull bladesmith and the seals episode was moving, I've watched it twice so far. Thank you Neil👍

[@christophjuvan900]

I`m making knives for a long time, this man is doing it the right way and he's telling you the truth. Thanks for the great video....

[@dianasweetpea2561]

Totally noticed your blade geometry on your Buttercup short video.. Awesome!

[@86sportyguy1]

Dude, I would be proud to own that “reject”. You make such fantastic knives.

[@lakeontarioboatingandbeyon8762]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world.

[@jimmylemberger7419]

Just discovered you today and watched a couple of videos, and I gotta say, nothing but love bro 💪

[@rowbearpucklebuck2331]

I have been a metal craftsman/jeweler/blacksmith for 55 years, and i am STILL learning! Thank you!

[@bigryan9447]

[@blackcherrybushcraft3855]

Awesome video … appreciate the time you put into showing us how to properly sharpen a blade

[@Little_River_Forge]

[@Devonleys]

These videos are amazing. Funny, entertaining, and informative. I’m new to making knives and I’ve learned more from you than the 100 other videos I have watched. I incorporated some things in a knife last night. Love the content, hopefully you guys keep it up.

[@Jesse_was_here]

Always end up learning something new and valuable for knife making and end up smiling and happy to boot! Great video!

[@zanemarion7211]

[@lilpopo489Lilpop]

Neil, you rock.

[@AaronEsparza]

[@b2bogster]

Perfect explanation on knife sharpening a lot of shef's don't understand. I started recently as a shef in sushi restaurant and those folk had all their Damascus shef knives dull. I explained them about micro serrations and sharpened their knifes.

[@BIGJON827]

Hey Brother, as usual what an amazing educational, informative video. I've watched a many y-tube videos but none are as informative as yours. I/we all appreciate all of the time and effort you guys put into making these videos! I don't get down that thin before putting an edge on them and it's a bitch putting an edge on a thick knife! And yeah, I always use a gig to sharpen because I get an incredible edge. No more! Thank you for the videos, I've learned so much. Forever indebted! Jon

[@fathertime3463]

Edge geometry is something I struggle with greatly, thank you for this video!

[@jclt10]

marvelous! mr. kamimura

[@leemichel8199]

[@KauleleHawaii]

Mahalo for sharing!

[@blackarm3265]

[@Artislife1111]

@toymunkee this is 🔥 Mister Roger’s knife show! 😂

[@venom0237]

Mad love to you sir, video was entertaining and I picked up some new techniques. If I'm ever in Hawaii I'd love to buy you a beer man

[@cameronchicken8439]

2:39 thinner cutting edges have good edge retention but it produces a longer burr which is much more difficult to remove without fracturing the cutting edge so most people think that it is unstable but it is just more difficult to get right

[@dejiadeogun]

I've been watching people try to demystify Stone sharpening for the longest. What does the first video that made it accessible and achievable. ;)

[@antoniodanielmachadoorquen7952]

Brasil perfect vídeo

[@watermelon4083]

The shorts are cool but I love the videos

[@richardpreisler3352]

I fcking love the intro 💖👏

[@knifesharpeningnorway]

Would be awesome to test out a blade from you oneday. My self i love to sharpen its probably the most relaxing thing i do. Just found your channel so i gotta ask what steels you like to use?

[@nathandunning7150]

I've just started taping my blades too I notice when stone sharpening my fingers are leaving scratches

[@rapturefox7068]

T-4 Tormek sharpens everything. But yeah the jigs can be a pain. But making mistakes are rare and the excellent outcome is consistent

[@rudyrodriguez8883]

Amazing you do great work 👍 how can I order a custom knife for me and my son . Thank You

[@mikelworker7883]

👍🙏

[@user-cs2nq9wu4f]

Hello from Russia🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@NeilTKamimura]

Aloha from Hawaii!!!

[@maxwax2061]

44:49 that’s it

[@HeavyForge]

Right on! I find it funny how Hawaiians and Alaskans have a name referring to the continental US. We Alaskans refer to it as the Lower 48.

[@73FORGE]

🤙🏼🍺

[@jerrymcrie]

not yet seen the whole vid yet... thx tho, i was doing everything wrong...

[@samsmith2635]

I noticed that the way you sharpen the knife on the 2x72 and the way you do it on the wet stone. Spine first on the machine, blade first on the stone, why?

[@CagedSUPERMAN]

Man I wish I had that reject knife
