    I love seeing these long videos drop. I know its time to grab a cup of coffee and a snack or two. We're about to see some knife hunting pro footage. You never disappoint us Doc. It's always a interesting time and a thrill of the hunt.... Thanks again Brother! 😊

    As a knife collector in England i have to say that the quality of our old Sheffield made knives is far superior to the USA made knives in your videos. A trip to England would not disappoint !!

      I agree 100% with that with certain knife brands but when it comes to Case and Cattaraugus and all the older cutlery companies your Sheffield can’t hold a light to them. But I will say that that would be 1975 and earlier for most. Try Northfield and GEC brands. Great American made knives.

      Sheffield made the best cutlery, steel and pocket knifes long before Europeans ever even set foot on the shores of your country to colonise it! Am not knocking your stuff but it's not in the same league I use a 1870s Christopher Johnson pen knife every day testament to Sheffield steel it's made from.

      The Best steel made in the UK. Came from Brymbo (a foundry outside of Wrexham). The Quality of how the steel was made was second to none sadly it closed in the mid 80's having been bought by an overseas company.😢

    Kevin, I almost fell out of my chair when I saw that Buck 639! I carried one on my webgear (LBE) back when I was in the Army in the 80's and 90's. It was a great knife and I've been trying to find one. My original one was broken after 20 years of hard service. Great video and those are some sweet knives you got there!!

    We had some good weather in Ohio a couple weeks ago and I ended up going to the flea market. I was shocked that at 11AM and even 12 some dealers were just starting to set up outside. Really shocked me as they normally are all closing down around 1PM during the summer. At some flea markets during the winter I guess they wait until it warms up before setting up.
