Repairy and carry. I love the weather radio. Makes the shop seem like an isolated survivor after an apocalypse for some reason. Love it.

[@theknifedoctor]

Thank you!! I love the weather radio also!! I just helps me stay focused! Thanks for watching and thanks for the support!

What narcotics are you on?

[@richardvirchow3390]

You brought that Spyderco Dragonfly back to life - well done.

[@theknifedoctor]

Thank you

[@billyj.williams2341]

Spyderco man myself.... since late 98 when I got one as a thank you/ Farwell gift from the platoon. All stainless Delica with the full serrated edge. Carried it every day from then until I got back from Djibouti in 2005.... let another Marine use it over there (f'n knew better) and sure enough, they brought it back to me with a broken lock.... Sucks as it means alot to me and was just my favorite EDC knife. Still have it, but as it's basically a slip joint now, it's relegated to my keepsake box. Have tried a bunch of other mfgrs and models since but last couple of years I have reverted to andl EDC a Spyderco Delica, its just the perfect size for me. Love that Uncle Henry LB7 with the EGA. Very cool sheath as well.... I also like to reward young people who take up a trade making nice things by hand when I have the means (discretionary funds) to do so..... SF brother.

[@chrisjames3087]

That sheath is a great idea. Nice work on the Spyderco.

Cherished holiday? For The Knife Doctor? That can only be the USMC Birthday. Spydercos are excellent knives. My first Spyderco was a Delica. Got it back in 1996 or 97. Still have it, and have added to the collection since. My most recent Spyderco is a Para 3 that I got a set of US Flag scales installed on.

[@theknifedoctor]

Thats Right!! LOL. It's the most important of the year. LOL. I do love Thanksgiving and Christmas too though. Thanks for watching and Thanks for the support!

[@chanceadams5157]

[@jock-of-ages73]

I always liked the Kahr Delica that Spyderco used to do, the Dragonfly would've looked nice with that style of blade, you did a great job. I'm really liking your channel. 👍

[@rogerstlaurent8704]

Beautiful looking Spyderco Knife nice little restore and Uncle Henry USMC knife was very beautiful looking The older Uncle Henry Knives are far better Quality than the newer knives ... As for the GA Bushcraft Gathering i wish there was something like that in my area the handmade leather sheath has a really nicely designed feature it tucks inside you belt not on the outside like most Sheath are .... By Chance do you have any Switchblade Knives in your collection ??? great video keep up the good work and videos

[@goobergriffith8489]

Case elephant toe is my favorite knife are canoe something about them two I like thanks for the video

[@bobbyd4400]

Just ordered a western lockback made by camillus in.the box with papers for 20 bucks on ebay also got a spyderco coming

[@theknifedoctor]

Thats awesome! I like Camillus knives and Spyderco.

[@user-vu5fd9ig9b]

Where did you get the sharpener

[@thomastommy1192]

Awesome great video. I am a new scrubber but I really enjoy your videos. I collect Buck knives but I don't have very many. They are hard to find in my area. I also have an Uncle Hendey like the one you have but it's not a special edition. My wife bought it for me a Kmart back in the very early 80s. Where do you buy the Never Dull from? Can I contact that guy to order a sheth from him? Thumbs up stay well and safe.

[@theknifedoctor]

Thank you and thanks for the support!

[@seanpovilaika9321]

Always love your videos, good stuff! I'm curious where you came across that broken Spyderco.?(if you'd rather not say it's totally fine. Thanks!

[@theknifedoctor]

on eBay. I paid $35 for it. Thanks for watching!

[@ghostmaloneedc4254]

I need some work done on my great grandfathers pocket knife I inherited. Could you possibly help me out with that? Basically it’s a 2 bladed slip with a problem spring, and I just want a blade delete and put back together as a single blade.

[@theknifedoctor]

Please send photos to the email provided in the description of the video. Thanks for watching!

[@dannyjackson2062]

[@user-mf9vc3oc4k]

Do u do repairs on knives of subscribers if so how can I send my knife in for repairs

[@fabianflores2339]

503!!!

[@randyzinn548]

Do you repair on knives for people

[@theknifedoctor]

No…sorry. Repair’s always don’t go as planned and I don’t want to mess up anyone’s sentimental knife. Then I’d have to ship them out too. Thanks for asking.

[@nahumdeleon8453]

Do you think you can send me one of those sheaths I I'll pay you

[@theknifedoctor]

Thank you for watching!! you can actually order it from Shankle Homestead Leather Works here: www.shanklehomesteadleatherworks.com/product-page/knife-holster

[@nahumdeleon8453]

@theknifedr-edc thank you sir keep up the great videos

[@theknifedoctor]

@@nahumdeleon8453 thanks!! If you order you’ll be supporting a very nice family. I’ve been wearing mine since the event and I don’t even know it’s there. Thanks again!!

[@Angler233]

Is that spyderco a fake?

[@theknifedoctor]

No.

[@thetazva]

Not restored, but reshaped blade. Sad someone abused it and broke the tip off. interesting how it came out.

[@theknifedoctor]

I think it came out just right. I carry it and use it most everyday. 😊 Thanks for watching!

[@user-kr6mg2ly2c]

Kevin, I enjoy your videos but that background noise is annoying and takes away from your videos. It sounds like a radio playing at low volume.

[@theknifedoctor]

That’s my weather station.
