Knives of Alaska makes great knives. I love the video's brother. Thank You for saving America a little bit at a time.

[@theknifedoctor]

Thank you!! I know about them now!

[@robertfandel9442]

It's part ulu knife my buddy has every one made knives of Alaska.

[@bw4048]

absolute steal on that knives of Alaska set

[@user-iv1in2bd2w]

This has become my favorite channel. I’m 20 and have lost both of my grandads who were both veterans (one was in Korea, the other Vietnam). I used to go to flea markets with one of them and always had a good time, in fact one of my best memories I have of him is from just a few years ago where we had to chase him down at a flea market after he had taken off in his truck solo to go shopping! Anyways, this channel is just cozy and brings back memories of them! I greatly appreciate it :)

[@theknifedoctor]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I wish Grandpa’s never had to leave us. God Bless you.

[@kevinAuman1]

​@@theknifedoctor heyyy, finally someone pronounced Olean NY correctly haha I was born and raised here and let me tell ya sir if you wanting to find ya some old knives then you have to make a trip up this way because we have KaBar, Cutco here in Olean then OKC 15min north in Franklinville and Case cutlery, Zippo 10mins south in Bradford were located in Cattaraugus County where some of the very first pocket knives that were made in the USA were made mid 1800's knives can be seen in just about every pawn shop or antique store you come by... Cheap too

[@Blue-ws1io]

The pawn shop didn't lie about the price on the Knives of Alaska, I appreciate his honesty. I'm hooked on your videos. Great content. Please keep doing these, I enjoy them. I only collect the newer/date style of knives, but it is nice to see the classics and the interesting shops that sell them.

[@theknifedoctor]

Thank you and Thanks for sharing this!!

[@bw4048]

so casual about the shiv in the knife basket

[@neilhart9924]

Glad someone else noticed that. Lol

[@user-cs3hi8zp7p]

For a minute, I thought you were gunna pass on that amazing Knives Of Alaska set...I was hollerin "GET IT...GET IT" over & over! I'm glad you decided to man, cause them knives are world-class tools with some of the best edges a man can have, if sharpened correctly!! Well done, good sir!💪😎👍

[@lddtyrone]

Knives of alaska was a good find specially with the leather sheath

[@richardmundo9709]

Awesome find you know what to look for, a lesson to bee learned

[@user-cs3hi8zp7p]

Yessir...you made out like a bandit with the KoA set, also the Kabar is immaculate!! Literally awesome finds brother! God bless y'all🙏🙏

[@richardbinell2053]

I just discovered your channel. I love it. Thank you for sharing your passions.

[@theknifedoctor]

Awesome sir!! Welcome Aboard!

[@MrG77]

That Knifes of Alaska are cool. The ridges on the back can also be used for a striker for fire. Between them and the Kbar you scored a home run for sure.🙏

[@dannyjackson2062]

Love those old ka bar usmc. Favorite knives with bucks.....

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Some good finds! I’d never heard of Knives of Alaska before. Pretty awesome! Enjoy your visit.

[@theknifedoctor]

Me either Bryan!! Love it!

[@Orlosthedruid]

That set by Knives of Alaska....I paid over $300 for mine, new, in Ft. Richardson AK, at the PX. That was decades ago. Those knives are the BEST if you hunt or guide. BEST skinning knives EVER. Those round tip blades never poke through hides and slice like razors. You will enjoy them, great trade bait once you cleaned them up and sharpened them.

[@Orlosthedruid]

I just looked up the set I bought, $687.00

[@theknifedoctor]

Thanks for sharing this!!

[@danedwards8535]

You’ll love that little Bear & Son’s farm hand. I picked one up at the blade show and I love it . Have a good time in Florida and enjoy the family.

[@theknifedoctor]

Thank you sir!! God Bless! I have a few of them already. Just couldn’t pass them up for the price!

Good knife finds them knives of Alaska are great knives. Man that imperial is beutifull love that bone

[@theknifedoctor]

Thank you!! I absolutely love that Imperial!!

[@ozarksfirewood3936]

Sometimes you have to hunt for a while to find some deals. I was on the hunt last weekend in Branson, MO. All of the places I went to were firm on their prices. They had knives (Schrade, Camillus, etc. with broken, or even missing blades, most of them covered in rust… for $20+ each I did manage to find a Schrade Clip Hanger CH4, never used, for $7. So all was not lost.

[@theknifedoctor]

So true! The clip hangers are good knives! Great price too!

[@heyQuixDraw]

Knives of Alaska are great. Mine was D2 steel. Gave it to a friend who asked another buddy if I might be suicidal.😂. Gave away 3 others that week to young boys of my buddy.

[@theknifedoctor]

Awesome!!

[@kenbates1354]

Your wife must be a patient woman! 😂 Making all of those stops to shop for knives only. Hope y’all have a great visit with your son and a safe trip home.

[@TheBennie102103]

I thought the same thing :)

[@theknifedoctor]

Thank you! Believe me…she gets her shopping in. I don’t film her shopping. It would be all about shopping for grand kids, shoes and clothes. LOL

[@paulrice8342]

Sometimes she finds the knives!LOL

[@steveb6553]

Great finds Kevin! Knives of Alaska was the steal of the day 👍 and thank you for your service ✌️God bless

[@theknifedoctor]

Thank you sir! God Bless!! I feel the same way! Great find!

[@jonduggan7433]

I've found that old estate sales run by the family is the best place to pick up old knives. Anytime you go into the second hand stores they are overpriced. Everyone looks the stuff up on the internet and they think they got gold or something. Also, I very rarely bother with any knife made after the mid 1960's and is not high carbon steel blades. But hey, that's just my opinion.

[@franknorthcutt2958]

I really like the knives of Alaska set. Very impressive! I love your videos.

[@theknifedoctor]

Thank you!! Love it too!

[@willamballard7857]

[@theknifedoctor]

George town is pretty place I want though once on my way to Savannah on vacation last year I would have thought that you would have been able to get more knifes than you did but glad you did

[@user-qx4jb2pz2b]

I find that Silk find a few though

[@Gingerbeard_Knifeworx]

Oh man you are a deal hunter! 17$ for a farmhand is crazy! They are usually about 37 to 40 $ so you did great brother! I wish I could find one for 20$! Great video sir and awesome knives! God bless you and your family! Let me know if you wanna sell a farmhand!

[@theknifedoctor]

Thanks! It was a great find!!

[@richardvirchow3390]

I got concerned when the first three stops turned up nothing. But you really hit it rich along the rest of your journey. That was fun to watch.

[@theknifedoctor]

Thank you!! Yeah, I was worried too, but it’s all part of “THE HUNT” and that’s why I love it! LOL

[@theknifedoctor]

Thanks, you too!

[@user-ld7xp2gf8d]

KOA makes a smaller knife that looks like the cleaver it’s called a muskrat great for skinning I won’t get rid of mine and once you get used to it and familiarize yourself with it, you’ll take it on every trip. Also knives of Alaska. The grip is known as sure grip and you choose antler or sure grip anger puts a substantial price on the knife so I only get sure grip

[@theknifedoctor]

Thanks for sharing this! I love the set I found. Will be cleaning it up soon!

[@stevewalker4638]

Cabelas. So the knives of Alaska.

[@rasputinscastle]

Great finds. That knives of Alaska cleaver was designed by the owner for skinning bear.😊

[@theknifedoctor]

Thanks Mike!! I’ve learned that since I found it. This is another reason why I love the “HUNT”. I love finding USA made knives that I’ve never come across.

[@benbrennan7663]

Dear Knife Doctor, Reaching out to you from Mascouche , Québec Canada , 45 min. North of Montreal, I watch your vids every day , I wonder if i could send you a photo of what i got, My dad was in the Canadian Air Forces , RCAF , he was a what they called a Flying Chef/Steward , He used to accompany high level officers from The UK,the US , Canada and Australia on expeditions in the Canadian wilderness in encampments of grid , So my mom bought him a mess set/kit , It's a Colonial set in a plastic sleeve , that consistes of a knife with one blade and a dual bladed can opener and bottle cap opener blade , also a fork in a knife with three fingers,and a big spoon in a knife ,🤣 excuse my French , i am a French Canadian ! My dad served in the Canadian Air Forces from 1940 till 1966, I am pretty sure my mom bought this kit in the 50's? On all blades it is written " Stainless , Colonial,Prov.USA " The kit is in pristine condition all three knives are in mint condition , not a sign of rust, they shine like new , all handles/scales are like new they shine like out of the store , except for the knife blade that my brother tried to sharpen with a rock and he scratched the blade but not so it even rusted after all those years, there isn't any patina on all blades ? The plastic sleeve that hold them isn't even cracked ! I just wonder how much this kit i worth today , it's almost 75 years old? On the silver plates on the handle it's written Sport pal stainless. Thanks for answering my question if you please, Robert Mandeville , from Québec , Canada 👍

Welcome

[@bigfrankfraser1391]

one of my favourite knife facts is that during the war of independence, and for a long while after, the best bowie knives in america were made in Sheffield england edit: this is as fun as it gets as a brit, the knife that screams MURICA, was only successful because of the british knife makers

[@theknifedoctor]

I agree. Sheffield England and Germany were once the Best producers of knives. America didn’t start having good knives until German and English knife makers migrated here. Late 1800’s through WW2.
