Your video gives me a little relief while on these 12hr shifts. Can’t wait to get home, got 3 knives in the mail waiting on me. I to think of my dad when I hear them zippo’s lighting up. Going knife hunting Saturday. Enjoyed the video.

[@theknifedoctor]

Awesome Sir!! God Bless you and Happy Hunting! Thanks for watching and the Support!!

[@tinanorwood5557]

Still catching up on your vids ,just luv ‘em , great vid ! Keep on --keep on

[@theknifedoctor]

Awesome sir! Thank you!

[@user-Bladewalker]

He sure is Mr Kevin sir he has performed so many miracles in my life even though I have suffered great loss I keep leaning on him. I don't know if you recall my situation I spoke with you about me just having a liver and kidney transplant and cancer but even with 2 weeks given to live here I am 3 years later. I'll quit bothering you with that but it's because of you sir helping with videos to keep the mind oçcupied. Just can't wait for me and Sam to sit down together and watch. 😂 He is going to think he won the lottery when he received your autograph.

[@theknifedoctor]

That’s Awesome!! You never bother me!! Reach out anytime!! God Bless you!! Praying for you!!

[@TonyDemarco-ju5vb]

Hi Kevin, I'm happy that you appreciated the Cover and laces and the Zippo, I don't know what that spot is on the lighter I tried to clean it off but no go , I subscribe to dozens of knife channels on KZbin ,yours is the best

[@theknifedoctor]

Awesome!! Thank you very much for all the gifts!! Love the Zippo!!

[@edwardpeach9175]

I really enjoy your videos. I am a knife collector myself. Great job on the sheath repair.

[@theknifedoctor]

Thank you!! God Bless!!

[@jasonaffeldt7838]

Nice leather repair. You inspired me to try some leather work. I subscribed to Deep South Cutlery on your recommendation 👍. Good bunch of guys like you said. Take care Kevin. 🇺🇲🔪🔥🌲

[@theknifedoctor]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@AWCustomDesigns]

That stitch job turned out great Doc! I love the looks of a good worn out leather sheath 👍

[@theknifedoctor]

Thank you!!

[@kenlewis1374]

Heat the tip of that Boker blade cherry red, then straighten it. Reheat the tip, cherry red and quench it in oil to re-harden. Then reshape the tip of the blade accordingly.

[@theknifedoctor]

@@kenlewis1374 awesome!! Thank you!!

[@_DlME]

Hey doc, enjoyed the video today. The piece of equipment you called a "leather pony" is actually called a stitching pony. They are handy for sure. I need to get me one also.

[@theknifedoctor]

Thank you!! LOL I always mess up on names!!🤦‍♂️

[@patousixx2401]

Loving your videos the best 👍

[@theknifedoctor]

Thank you!!

[@danedwards8535]

I had a cover like that in 1971 at PI. Before I got out IN 1976 it was woodland camo. Enjoy very much your videos .

[@theknifedoctor]

Awesome!! Semper- Fi!!

[@10gaugeTroy]

Good morning everyone!

[@howardkayecrabyman]

Great job on the sheath. Be safe and healthy God bless America 🇺🇸

[@theknifedoctor]

Thank you!!

[@randyzinn548]

That looks awesome and the knife is so cool

[@theknifedoctor]

Thank you!!

[@user-hg7sm9vb8h]

Sheath looks great! Picked up a few knives at Ruth’s flea market today! I mainly collect Schrade old timers. They are the knives I growed up carrying and hunting with.

[@theknifedoctor]

Awesome!! I started to go, but had to go down to meet my friends!! I’ll be there in a few weeks.

[@J.O.VenturesOutdoors]

Great job Kevin! It turned out great! I usually use waxed nylon thread for leather. I've used sinew before and didn't enjoy it. It will work but it's hard to work with.. But, great video and that sheath will last you a long time!

[@theknifedoctor]

Great tip! Thanks John!!

[@malwagner6090]

That K-word on the Boker is the same word as in AK-47...

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Whoot on the sheath, sir. Well done. I had issues just like you with the saddle stitch. Pulling the loose end out of the way it helps. Another good one

[@theknifedoctor]

Thanks George!!

[@randyzinn548]

Cool cap

[@wazzeradk9398]

Nice job Kevin! Now you are the knife doctor/leather nurse!

[@davidsawchak1330]

Doc that cover looks great on you! Semper Fi! Oorah! Very nice knife and case!

[@theknifedoctor]

Semper-Fi!! Thank you!

[@Freedom2219]

Sheath looked good

[@theknifedoctor]

Thank you!!

[@tedkenne]

It's Pronounced "BAY OWN" New Jersey Bayonne. Thanks, Kevin.

[@theknifedoctor]

Thank you!!

[@tedhart7708]

I chuckled to myself when you mentioned liking the smell of a Zippo and how it reminds you of your dad. I know EXACTLY what you're talking about. My dad was a WWII vet who always had a Zippo and never smoked a filtered cigarette. Always Camel, Lucky Strike, or Chesterfield. BTW... You gonna start adding leathercraft to your channel?😄

[@theknifedoctor]

LOL! Thanks for sharing this!! I am going to make a leather slip very soon!! Thanks for watching!

[@gambitm7480]

Good stuff bud 👍

[@theknifedoctor]

Thank you!!

[@user-uc1uo2rw9n]

Hey Dr Kevin. I'm looking for a nice Barlow for my dad.. I'm on a fixed income so don't hit me too hard.. he's a special man and I'd love to honor him with a special knife

[@theknifedoctor]

You can find some good deals on eBay and Pawn Shops. I don’t sell my knives. Thanks for watching!!

[@terryshields87]

👍

[@jerryphillips5112]

Nice Work Kevin 😊

[@theknifedoctor]

Thank you!!

[@jerryphillips5112]

@theknifedr-edc You got the package right?

[@theknifedoctor]

@@jerryphillips5112 yes!! I’ll be opening today and the video should be out tomorrow which will be Friday!! I sent an email. Thanks Jerry!

[@jerryphillips5112]

@theknifedr-edc cool... just making sure.... sometimes it shows delivery and hasn't. Thanks Man!

[@radar468]

Nice stichin

[@theknifedoctor]

Thank you!!

[@10gaugeTroy]

That’s a Boker Kalishnikov like the ak47 or ak74.

[@reggieheidelberg2363]

Kevin, if you wax that artificial sinew after you thread your needle it works way better.

[@theknifedoctor]

Thank you!!

[@tomweingart2337]

It's pronounced BAY OWN

[@cheesymoonworkshop]

Put a dab of super glue on it.

[@leegowdy2295]

I'm a old vietnam vet you have inspired e to do something to keep busy. Can you tell me about your small grinder and wheels also what grit you use on your belt sander. Thanks!!

[@theknifedoctor]

Thank you for your service sir!! The grinder is at Harbor Freight. 3” Bench Grinder, with fiber wheel. Almost like an SOS pad. Very good for surface rust and tarnish. Thanks for watching!!

[@user-Bladewalker]

Good evening knife doctor. Which book have you got that shows the markings and stuff. I got one but The one I think I need is like 300 on eBay and I can't even afford to pay that for a knife 😂 I am trying to learn more about the markings. I have the standard knife collector guide fourth edition. I have learned a lot but not quite there. I am donating to an auction for people who need transplants. I have received a kidney and a liver so it's a special place in my heart. just wanted to share since you share with me. We are big fans of your show . God bless you Mr Kevin sir and have a fantastic day. Sam is on break next week from school and we are going to do a video I will tell you when it airs. Much love to you and your family

[@theknifedoctor]

Search for Author Houston Price. Collecting Knives. They made 15 editions. 15th is the best one and it’s the last one made. It was published in 2008. The items should be ready next week. They’ll be in the mail soon.

[@user-Bladewalker]

I really appreciate you Mr Kevin sir he is going to be beside himself. Im pretty excited as well😂 just love ya man for doing this. Can't say enough what this means to me.

[@theknifedoctor]

@@user-Bladewalker you’re welcome!! God is GOOD!!

[@terrell48]

That is a Boker Kalishnakov they still make them and they are not real high usually under $50 so parts should still be availablhe

[@TonyDemarco-ju5vb]

Also the insert in the lighter has the year it was made

[@theknifedoctor]

Yeah, I looked. I thought I found a slash for 1981. It’s really light though.

[@TonyDemarco-ju5vb]

Maybe a magnifying glass would help

[@theknifedoctor]

@@TonyDemarco-ju5vb that’s what I had to use…

[@TonyDemarco-ju5vb]

Take a look at Three,River Blades, the man that has that channel was a Marine for 10 years and he also makes knives

[@cheesymoonworkshop]

Great job brother. What size leather cord do you use for lanyards? Or is it just boot laces?

[@theknifedoctor]

Not sure…LOL. I think so.

[@thomastommy1192]

Cool video thumbs up. What is the name of that leather cream? Where can I get it from?

[@theknifedoctor]

Thank you!! Here is a link to their website. www.shanklehomesteadleatherworks.com/product-page/mama-s-outback-leather-wax

[@mwe1337]

Just wondering brother. You don't smoke do you, because i was wondering about always carrying zippos ? God bless from Australia 👍

[@theknifedoctor]

No I don’t smoke. I love Zipos though…mainly because they remind me of my Dad from the smell and that click they do when the lid closes. My Dad always carried a Zippo. Great question! Thanks for watching from way down there!!

[@user-ow5md8ym6s]

Was that sheath made for a Case folding hunter?

[@theknifedoctor]

No, more like a Trapper.

[@Kodiak_Edge]

Send that Boker Kalashnikov back to Boker it has a life time warranty! they will replace the blade and spring!! free!!

[@theknifedoctor]

Thank you!!

[@mikemcwilliams961]

Wonder how many knives you own Doc? Do you have any idea?

[@theknifedoctor]

I don’t. LOL

[@Stoned_flips]

I've been meaning to ask but what grit belt do you use on your belt sander

[@theknifedoctor]

240. Thanks!!

[@nicholasdavis388]

Was wondering how I could get ahold of you I was wondering if you would be interested in a knife trade for some USA made pocket cutlery

[@theknifedoctor]

Awesome!! Send me some photos and trade proposal by email. My Email is: [e-mail]

[@DavidHodkinson-ps1cb]

Do you think they are hand sewn originally or machine ....

[@theknifedoctor]

I think machine.

[@DavidHodkinson-ps1cb]

Hand sewn gives character and a greater sense of achievement ... Great skill you have there doc ......

[@Greg-cu4dg]

I love the smell of a zippo also

[@CharlesMac1313]

I really enjoyed this video. It sure took a lot of patience to restitch that sheath🫡

[@theknifedoctor]

It did!! LOL!!
