Good stuff bro. No need to apologize for kiddos. I raised 5 boys and 1 girl and it never ends. Now 26 grandkids and 2 great grandkids. Enjoy them as much as you can because they dont stay little lol
Thank you!!! I have 2 older, one on her way to being a Dr and one serving our.country. they grew up so fast. Congrats on the grandkids. That's awesome!!!! Thanks for the kind words.
Nice Chris, & there's no need to apologize for being a great dad raising his boy's mate, I waved back & I said, "Hey little buddy", nice to see he's got the industrial headphones covered mate lol. Ahhh yes, the joys of sharpening *thinks* it wasn't that long ago I was knocking tips off, rolling edges, micro beveling perfectly good edges using incorrect angles & performing less than adequate burr removals LOL ahhhh how time flies when your costly hobby is teaching you the hard way LOL. cheers for another great video mate, hope the little fella enjoyed his mickey mouse too mate. Oh & personally I don't use paper to test my edges, I know most do & that's totally cool, but I go to our grocery recyclables & pull out all the thinnish cardboard boxes food stuffs come in, cut it up into smaller pieces & use them, much harder to breeze through light carboard than it is through paper, if you fly through light cardboard like a hot knife through butter it's a decent indication that the edge is up to standard mate.
Lol. Yea, he had a good time. He was in a mood tonight! He has been so sick, so tonight he was ready to be loud and rambunctious. It has eaten me up worrying that it was a poor.video.so thank you for the positive feedback!!!
Seems like pretty good dad advice to me! I hope more people pick up on it, its incredibly satisfying and not nearly as indimidating as alot of people seem to think. I heard someone say once that if you are ever lost in the woods, you should sit down and sharpen your knife. Someone will find you to let you know you are doing it wrong. I really like that because theres some truth in it, theres 100 ways to do this and the correct one is whatever works
Yes! Don't argue .methods, only results! If it works, then keep doing it. The lost in the woods analogy is hilarious and so true! Thanks for an awesome comment!
Good video Chris. I was bad at sharpening for a while. Yeah lots of videos are dudes who clearly have been doing it well forever just zipping through saying yeah this is how you do it. I have the worksharp persicion. Where you clamp the blade in. It works great but I'm still using my stones. I don't want to get lazy and not master that. Thanks for making time to make your videos. And no need to apologize for taking care of little ones! Heck alot of times I have to pause your videos because my daughter decides it's time to bounce on Dad. Or climb the couch to lick the window 😅. True words...it never ends. It's great tho. Great video. The more you see it done and hear it explained the better you get. And you did a good job. Oh and thanks for the turkey tips! I knew I was going to be a basting fool on Thursday. The toothpick idea is great! And I'm doing the micarta with old pants that my younger son out grew next. This time I'm using an old pair of craftsman pants from my electrion days. So it's like a tan canvas look. While I was starting to sand and conture I could clearly see layers and I thaught alternating colors would be great. Well this is long enough I appreciate that you take YOUR time to make theese. As a stay at home Dad myself I know that it's a thing in short supply. Have a blessed day brother.
I bet that Canvas micarta is gonna look sweet! You just gave me a great idea, i talked about t sentimental knives before, and now I want to take something each of.my kids outgrew, a blanket, or favorite shirt, or whatever and make.micarta with it. Then, those items would be around forever, and it would be easier than packing that stuff away and never looking at it again. It would be useful, and every time I held the knife, those memories and stories..... yea, im gonna do that. Thanks for making that click for me! Good luck on your turkey, I have no doubt it's gonna be fantastic! I love doing these videos. Its a way for me to have an outlet and to communicate categories with people who are like-minded. I'm really glad you all like them, and maybe someone even gets something from them. I have fun either way. Thank you for all of your kind words and encouragement! You and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving! I'm sure if you are like we are, then you have a lot to be thankful for.
I like that you say "tuned in" i say that too! 😂 Theres a fast moving culture i just dont subscribe to in life, and I dont like it. I enjoy the old way of things.😊 As a kill floor butcher for a decade, we used to wear our sharpening steels on a chain around the waist along with a scabbard fir our knives. I used victorinox fibrox handles in red, 5" length, semi-stiff, and a lamb skinner to drop heads!💀 The F.Dick packinghouse steels in14" are PHENOMENAL! they keep a tooth in the edge that you dont want in pocketknives, but you sure look for in deep cuts.
That is so cool! I watch the bearded butchers and others online, and I'm envious. That would be the coolest job! I have processed kills from hunting, hogs for.roasts, and a few heads of cattle we got deals on when purchasing sides of beef with other people. Nothing like what you did. I would love to pick your brain and do a special video for people that do process animals a lot. Most would already know what they are doing, but could.pissibly learn a few things about tools that would make it easier. That would be awesome and interesting! Thanks for sharing that story with me! Like you, I'm a product of an era i do not want to let go of. While my kids use verbiage, I don't understand in the least, I say things like tuned in. Lol. They make fun of.me all the time, but I assure them that I'm not the one out of date, they are. They are the generation that is.missing out on the greatest times in America! The best shows. The GREATEST MOVIES EVER! The birth of happy meals, value.meals, the cola wars, MTV WHEN MTV PLAYED.MUSIC!!!Don't get me started. Lol. Regardless, time keeps flowing. Thanks as always, for a great comment! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
Thank you , and same to you and yours. I tried to be as detailed as I could. Anyone can show you the steps, I wanted to explain why the steps are important.

Great video for anyone needing this information, no need to apologize for kids and normal life things that people should understand 😊
Thank you for the kind words!!! I'm glad you liked the video. I appreciate the comment greatly!
Sharpening is my favorite way to relax
