pocket knife part 2

[@Ozarkwonderer]

nice to hear from you again, good sharpening tips. i had to learn most of this from trial and error. i'm probably better off for it in the long run but i ruined a few knives as a kid trying to sharpen them myself when no one would help me. cant wait for more vids, you make some of my favorite.

[@vulcangunner58]

Good, thorough series on pocket knives. I have just recently re-discovered "traditional" pocket knives, and the classic patterns. I have used/collected knives for years and love the tactical stuff, but classics are that for a reason...they get the job done! Thanks and I just subscribed.

Blackie a good tip I use malt vinegar on kitchen paper towels soaked in that vinegar wrap carbon steel blade up it will force a grey patina protect the blade somewhat too keep checking during process after few minutes Till desired colour tone is achieved 👍🐾🦊🇬🇧

Blackie, I NEVER comment on vids - I watch a lot of them. If I want in-depth, informative vids, explained in an easy to understand way, I always go to your channel first. Thank you SO much for sharing your breadth and depth of knowledge and experience in such an entertaining and simple way. Happy Trails...

[@MrShooter54]

Love it!! My two sons and I have learned a lot from your Videos on Pocket Knives. I have allways known that each blade had it's own name and use,but I couldn't remember them.To many booms around the old head,u might know what that can do for u.Anyway thanks for the knowledge!!!!!

[@davidtomkinson1876]

Thanx Blackie, When I ordered a knife from Cold Steel, They threw in a gift in, On this particular order they gave me a knife called a KUDU it look's very similar to Your French Locking Knife with the Pull Ring Lock, They said they got the design from Africa, and that I was a inexpensive knife everybody had, But I could understand the French being their with that design, My C.S. is a inexpensive quality, it's made with a 4.116 Krupp Steel, which is similar to 440a But C.S. claims it's a little better, Yeah its a larger blade pocket knife and I really don't use it, But now that I'm getting into pocket knives more and more, I might fetch it and start using it, Thanx for reminding me I even had it. The biggest reason for my all of a sudden change to use a pocket knife, And as smart as I am, Yeah, Right, anyhow I would sit around the camp fire having coffee and whittling with my belt knife, and that might be Ok, but it does use up your sharp edge, So with a pocket knife my belt knife stays sharper, and sharpening a less expensive pocket knife for me is easier to sharpen in camp. Thanx for sharing your expertise, I also enjoyed your Khukuri video's. and now I know the difference between a Kukuri looking knife and a real Khukuri, Yeah You helped me make my choice to have my M-43 made also in a smaller versiin, I have a larger one which chop's like a Beast, and a more managable size in the same pattern but smaller, it still is a good chopper but better to wear on person, I also got a C.S. Kukuri Plus made in the O1, which is one of my Fav's choppers, it's lite, and where tge tang starts on it it appears to be thicker then starts to tapper, Anyhow Thanx, Blackie.

[@OregonMike]

Well explained

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Blackie, First of all Welcome Back, I always enjoyed watching you and your wisdom. But that Pocket Knife with the ring a top, I have a Cold Steel Kudu that oops just like that, Lynn Thompson said it's very popular in Africa and almost everyone carries one, , ,

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

+paulie 4x The classic ring lock design is a very early locking knife..i really enjoy mine at living history events

[@phillipmerritt1428]

Sorry to hear about your computer problems. But thanks for all of the details you are doing with your videos I really enjoy your site learn a lot. Here and see stuff that you mentioned in other people's videos to. Keep making them I'll keep watching thank you for it. 🚶💀

[@palomamonteleone2762]

I thought you'd like to know that Ontario makes that exact same all metal demo knife for about $35. Its 420HC steel and US made.

[@carmineredd1198]

i would want D2 or M4

[@MrBluesluver]

Thank you for another nice, informative video. Sorry to hear you lost so much hard work. BTW, you gave me the exact info I was looking for on the Rough Rider pocket knives. I am ordering a couple in the morning.

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Blackie, I'm having a very hard time finding any information on a Slipjoint Pocket Knife I just bought at the neighborhood pawn shop. It's a Wilkinson Sword, INOX Stainless, made in Sheffield, England,Canoe Pattern 3blade Slipjoint Pocket Knife, I looked and researched it in many ways and NADDA, I don't care about what it's worth as much as what type of stainless it is. First, I'm hoping it to be 440C I'm not that familiar with pocket knives. But I could tell a well made knife. If it was a 420 Stainless, someone put alot of work making it, It resembles a little like my Camillus Silver Sword #836, although it's not as big, and the scales look like either some kind of horn or a fancy smooth plastic, I dunno, but it is a well made knife. The main blade look's a little like a Scandi with a Secondary Edge, or a Saber, Dunno, the Spey blade is smaller and same size with the English Blade but has a little bit of a suede warn cliff well the tip goes down slightly, If you have any info on Wilkinson Sword Pocket Knives, Please I would Sincerely Appriciate it, Thanx in advance, , ,

[@jasonhoyt8232]

Very helpful video. I learned a variation of this from my grandpa (I hate to say it, but I think yours may be more helpful). But for my edc knives, I find that the "slide through, V-style" sharpener works well enough to produce an edge that I can shave my arm hair off with. Do you find your method a better option? I'm not opposed to buying the setup that you mention in this video. I just seems like the slide-through system works very well.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

the bottom line is use what works for you..i have found there is very few times when there is only ""1"" way to do a job..if your way works.. stick with it..thanks for the comment..safe journeys

[@Poppy999]

Flitiz to clean the patina off and mineral oil on the blade .its food safe then use hoppys oil in the joints should keep your knife in good shape

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

sound advice...safe journeys

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah, I bought (2) Moose Pattern Rough Riders that has the same blades a Trapper has but the blades are on opposite ends instead of side by side like a regular Trapper.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

sounds good..i really like mine

[@marycahill546]

Thank you so much! I want to buy a useful knife for my nephew who fishes and hunts turkey and deer. It would appear a trapper will serve him best. At least now I know why!

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

+Mary Cahill correct..the right blade makes the job much easier..thanks for the comment safe journeys

[@Tilbily]

Which would you recommend between the full size trapper or the mini trapper pocket knives for squirrel and maybe rabbit ?

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

i like the control the full size has..the small blade is better for those with small hands..hope this helps

[@Tilbily]

Sure did. Thank you !

[@Tilbily]

Would you be able to recommend a particular quality brand(s), price not a factor ?

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Blackie, WoW I got my Rough Rider Moose Pattern Slipjoint Pocket Knives, It's not like the pictures of Nessmuks, his appears more like two clip points similar to the slender tooth pick styles, mine look's like a Trappers blase with the Clip and Spey, except the blades are opposite of eachother, instead of side by side like the Trapper, Like Moose Antlers, What can I expect from these knives as far as edge retention, Because they both came beautuful, really worth the money I paid for them, Their also on sale (10-2015) I paid $6.95 normally $12.95, But Boy do they look good, I Cann almost compare them to my Case Knives, but I heard the steel is cheap, I can't understand a Company making this nice of a knife and not temper them good, that's why I'm hoping you might throw some imput on the edge retentiin, Thanx in advance, , ,

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

+paulie 4x in actual use they have done well for me..i expect a knife to hold up to most tasks with out a resharpen half way thru and these knives have done the job.. i have carried one in my pocket for 2yrs now and it has proven to be good for me..true i will hone one every so often..just out of habit..but thus far none have let me down...thanks for the comment safe journeys
