Medicine for the soul to be sure….the “pop” of the fire, the rhythmic sounds the blade makes, and the “pearls” that randomly drop are just what the doctor ordered. Thank you, William….she’s a little dandy that one🎯

[@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors]

I appreciate you taking this on brother! I promise not to make anymore er visits after using your knives 😂. Just wanted to let you know i really really enjoy talking knives with you!!

[@wcknives]

LOL, hope none of us have to visit the ER. Always a pleasure to talk knives with you.

[@thevirginiabushcrafter8833]

Great Lesson. Thanks for Sharing.

YAHOO!! My field lore is coming in from Great Northern Knives this week. "I am absolutely discussed that you killed a very young tree to prove your point and you are burning wood too"! That is my imitation of a tree extremist!!! Just a bad joke with a warped sense of humor... Happy Sunday morning everyone and God Bless!!!

Nice trystick William 👍. I just made one recently. Whether the economy is global or not, without purchasing power the consumer is an unimportant alien✌️🍀

[@1banjrpkr]

I totally agree, we all need to make more things with our own two hands. Also, a pizza box (or half of one) is good for catchin wood shavings. 😉👍🏻

[@LastChanceKnives]

Very nice response to Scabs challenge! Most of us have a lot of knives. Those knives are not much good without at least a basic skill set. I think we need more tags like this one. I appreciate your videos and have been watching ever since you used the home made forge for heat treating your knives. You have come a long way!

[@wcknives]

Thanks, I was able to handle your knife submission at Blackie’s gathering, well done.

[@LastChanceKnives]

@wcknives Thanks! Comming from you, that means a lot!

My favorite pass time is to sit on my deck and do try sticks, with my woodsman narrow, and nessy . It’s therapeutic to me.

[@wcknives]

To great models to whittle with. 😁

I’ve enjoyed watching folks join in on Scab’s challenge. 👍 Love your knives, too! I’ve heard nothing but good about’em. Hope one day to own one.

[@JR-5465]

I'm actually listing to you why I do a try-stick. Now my mind isn't blank I'm thinking about not cutting off something I might need and sticking to only removing wood No Flesh 😁

[@wcknives]

But you’re not thinking about bills, job or problems.😁

[@JR-5465]

@@wcknives That is very true

[@bwrscott1]

When I do this, all I get are toothpicks. Will keep working on it.

[@wcknives]

lol, at least they are useful.😁

Yaupon is a native plant Ilex vomitoria. Contains caffeine-you can harvest the young leaves. Even sold commercially. Formerly used in high concentrations by Southeast Indians in their Black Death drink Distribution: Southern Virginia, south to Florida and west to southeast Oklahoma and central Texas.

[@wcknives]

Thanks, noted it was native in a previous comment was also aware of the caffeine but some here may not be aware

@@wcknives William, I didn't read the comments. My bad.

[@blackhatbushcraft]

There was a lot of nice tips and wisdom in this video William. I connected with so much of what you said. I think taking time to be outdoors, slow down and breath the fresh air are highly under-rated. To craft something out of what would be scraps and feel the satisfaction and a little pride in what you made are all very beneficial things. Most importantly, just being in the Father's creation and simply enjoying the beauty in nature that He has gifted us with is therapeutic. Enjoying a nice strong cup of coffee and a warm fire is most welcome and an added bonus! I too really enjoy that PF French Press BTW. It is definitely a good piece of kit. Thank you for all you share with the community and for making such amazing knives as always. I enjoy mine (one or the other) almost daily. Take care my friend!

[@wcknives]

Very well said my friend….better than I could have. Appreciate everything you do for me and WC Knives.

Nice try stick William 🇺🇸 🇳🇿

CC DARK ROAST?!😎 My MAN! Dats how ya did dat right dere! . My grandfather whittled just about anything with a simple OLD Scharade or CASE Carbon steel large Stockman. He also dug up dandelion and plantain with dang near 2 foot roots and pulled them with it. He was an electrician by trade. We spent months of time over the years breaking garden green beans,,shucking fresh corn, cracking black walnuts with a hammer, a small.iron, and picks for his homemade black walnut pound cakes. Then we would whittle out the hulls and make decorations and figures. I have the scars to prove I was sometimes more interested in hurrying up and getting it done, instead of paying attention. Trust me, bout the first time you say I won't need my knife , or you are convinced you don't need a field made tool. Guess what? You'll find yourself WISHING you had. Are there better knives now? Yes, yours included for sure. And this video proves it ain't always the knife but the woods man using it!😆

[@tomritter493]

Geez its been I can remember at lest 6 7 yrs when the weather get better ill be trying one its beans yrs for me too

[@bushforme]

I'm 67 years old..live in a apartment,I know I'm referred as "the crazy old man who whittles on sticks"..get odd looks,if I fire up my coffee can stove? It's not because of what I do,it's the knives..its a different time now..fun watching that william! Quit drinking coffee about a year ago..just made a cup!😅

[@wcknives]

Enjoy that cup and keep whittling. 😁

[@fabsterun]

The best way ! With a fresh stick ! I stole one from my neighbours tree 😅😅😅

[@hiramhaji7813]

People only speed up through the videos when you have knives for sale so they can make the actual sale day hard or, it’s not fair😂

[@wcknives]

Not sure how that helps. The video is uploaded at least 24 hours prior to the sale going live.

[@hiramhaji7813]

@@wcknives it doesn’t help, that’s why it seems you have to remind the good folks to listen to the entire conversation…😂

[@attila2a746]

Great video William , it was very relaxing watching you work and listening to the nature in the back ground. God bless

[@vaughnwesterby5162]

Who was that said: It Comes From C H I N A! 🤫

[@wcknives]

I assume your referring to Yaupon. According to Google is is native and in the holly family so goes to prove you can hear or read anything on the internet. 😂😂😂😂

[@vaughnwesterby5162]

@@wcknivesActually William I was referring to what a president once said about the couf, also referring to the inferior quality of many of the products that come from that country.

[@wcknives]

@@vaughnwesterby5162 ok, not tracking you then. 😁 but I’m a bit slow sometimes.

[@tikkidaddy]

Them old boys what used to carve walking sticks with wooden balls inside little wooden cages in the stick?? That's when you know you're good😂

[@wcknives]

Yep, I have attempted a few of those, not the walking stick but the ball in a cage. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3LOgpyYeapmm5osi=3hoqpmL_PW4nleDf
