a trick: watch movies at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching loads of movies lately.
@Alexzander Nathaniel yup, been watching on flixzone for years myself :D
A true sharp knife will slice atoms in the air and create a black hole portal.
yeahh...hahaha
i use to cut electrons - everytime i do that i'm immediately in another universe - i use my Universe gps to get back home again
Naw fam a truly sharp knife will not only make a black hole portal it will cut through the fabric of reality itself
A true sharp knife can cut a true sharp knife and then everything collapses.
Yes, space-time sharp.
"Great test to find our if you're an idiot"
I found out I'm an idiot by not catching that! Ha! -GN
Funker Tactical - Fight Training Videos haha
Sullyvan dumb ass it's his job. you would think he knows what he is doing.
Sullyvan it doesn't seem anyone else is getting it either but I thought it was funny too
Sullyvan i just cut my finger tips to make sure it's sharp.
Wow, this is actually not clickbait, I actually learned something.
Thank you!
About 5 years back I did the same thing in the thumbnail except with a razor blade and the soft part between my fingernail and flesh
Holy fuck, watching him test the knife against his thumb gave me so much god damn anxiety, almost like I was watching a guy text on his phone and accidentally swerving and hitting a pedestrian. HOLY FUCK!!!! WHY IS HE USING HIS TONGUE!!!!! 😰
Hahahahahahaha! What a description!
Here's another way to tell if blade is sharp enough by using tongue...
Taste of blood.
What happens if I cut my tongue open? Did I do my job too well
Oh, so miley cyrus was just trying to see if the hammer was sharp or not. Now it all makes sense...
Thanks for making my day
She was doing it wrong
fjkhjhgf
No,
I think she had it confused with the bell end of a black feller
GodHatesEveryoneWhoDoesn'tReadTheBible your name is wrong god loves everyone
Your comment was great but your profile pic is better
Somewhere in the world there is a guy with a spyder co knife with this guys spit on it
Probably more like 100,000 of them!
Anouther great way to tell if your knife is really razor sharp is to feel it with your neck. *sarcasm
Actually, that's true...when you shave your face you are more likely to notice a dull or damaged edge when shaving your neck because it is a more sensitive and tender area. Usually that is where you will see the most irritation to the skin.
mvellekamp ok but is that really necessary? feeling a knife with your neck, and in the video with your tongue. I feel like pretty sharp is sharp enough to get most jobs done, and the risk of testing a knife in those ways is simply not worth it.

That awkward moment you realise your joke holds some truth. 😂
Big papa lol oh my god. 😂

He's so relatable I know
I heard that tk
YOGSCAST Smilodon Lol
When he used his tongue it looked like he was going to make a metal album
I am actually working on a metal album.
mvellekamp 😂
mvellekamp send the link when you are done :D
I prefer sprite cranberry
8:55 if you saw the thumbnail and came to see him lick the edge
Default Bandaid thanks
Thanks!
According to the video, intro and thumbnail you can solve this puzzle by cutting yourself. Well - yeah it works!
Love it! Mike rocks & so do his knives. His vision and creativity is matched by his old world craftsman skills. I am a huge fan and supporter of his work. He is one of only 2 men who have been massively instrumental in the creating of my designs from vision to reality. Thank you Mike Vellakamp from Mykel Hawke. Respects!
SF CPT Thank you Captain Hawke!
Yeah... not even venturing an attempt at those last two sharpness tests.
Do that paper test with a zig zag and I will be impressed .
HHT is more impressive
Mastermindyoung14 hht?
Nun Ya 'hanging hair test'. If it can cut a free-hanging hair, it's sharp.
Mastermindyoung14 damn i wana see that! thanx bud.
Nun Ya No problem! It's doable. You can literally whittle hair with a sharp knife (I can). There's videos of it being done on UA-cam.
This was a cool video. Nice solo at the end.
Thank you!
mvellekamp t
Bad ass solo! Does that song have a name you were playing?
It's actually on of the backing tracks that I jam to in the morning before work on youtube called "Pop Ballad in C major"
too much squeels n shit... :/
9:11 you broke the rule of HOW NOT TO TEST sharpness on a nice haha! However, your vid is awesome.. Here in my town/village in Mexico, we don't have that "high tech" like you do but we do have the TECHNIQUE and some unique stones found in rivers.. And we do achieve awesome results.. Anyways great vid!
Thank you so very much! I would love to see your technique in Mexico! My email is mvellekamp@gmail.com
Casually says "i got it from my friend ken onion
I didnt know that I have this many sharp knifes at my home, i can shave my hand with almost every knife in my house. Brb gotta try to shave my ball too, ill let u know later if Ive made it !
MarshalONE Gaming - I guess you didn't make it and now you have no balls
MarshalONE Gaming why do you only have one?
Did you not make it?
Assana Stonelle cause the other is in my mouth
Moment of silence for Caitlin jen....I mean marshal gaming.....
you explain better than the videos of other people I've watched
yea thanks bro, i was cringing with fear throughout the last two test >
"God I'm a freak"
You sir are the pinnacle of cool!
I tend to use the shaving method or by using a similar method to your thumb one I will very gently run my finger across the edge with very limited pressure and will feel how easily the edge will slice through the finer layer of dead skin until it barely touches new skin, its unsafe if you don't have full control so I don't recommend anyone try it unless they know what they are doing.
Also you end up with a lot of bald patched and your finger tips look like crisscross a lot lol
Yes. Grind both sides till you get a burr, then knock off the burr with your preferred technique. A few reverse strokes on a fine stone, a leather strop, running the edge through a wine cork. I have to admit I don't let a sharp edge near anything on my body more vital than a thumb (brushed across the edge, not along) nail edge (to check edge for imperfections) or arm hair (just to see if it's sharp enough). Even my efforts, which I'm sure don't compare, leave an edge sharp enough to do some serious damage to me.
Thank you to all who have left such great and positive comments and feedback here. This was a fun video to do and I look forward to doing more in the future.
Make sure to click on Mr. Vellekamp's UA-cam link to learn more about this phenomenal person. Really an iconic figure in the community. Thanks for your contribution sir!
one way i know the sharpness of a blade is to rub the blade against my jeans. if its pretty sharp youll make some lint, and if its razor sharp you got yourself even more "lint"
Lol the video is such good quality that I thought it was an ad.
I do the phone book paper technique and the same type than your thumb technique but i use my index finger in a different way, i make "slide" my finger on the edge and feel if it bite the skin.
I also check the edge with my flash lite to see where the lite is reflecting, it shows where are the damages on the apex of the edge.
I hope I'm not the only one who cringed a lot
Z-Army why?
When you know how different edges perform there is nothing to fear.
thumb
No 😂
YOU ARE CRAZY TO FEEL THE BLADE WITH YOUR YOUNG
That's one sharp knife! I'm not going to lie I've never come close to getting my blade that sharp. Yes, I could shave hair and cut paper but not like this. AWESOME!!
you are true bad ass, I am lucky enough to have one of your knives....a true master if the art metal working.....
Thank you much Sir!
i can watch this for my whole life
That knife was ridiculously sharp and the fact that he did it free hand is a,along that dudes got some serious skills!
You sir, are an artist in your chosen field...
so satisfying when cutting the paper
He knows ken onion personally? respect dude.
Yes brother, Ken is a great friend and mentor!
This guy a real hardass American guy.
Hey guy thanks for showing us
That was the most dramatic presentation of an edge burr I've ever seen
When forming the wire edge by means of a belt sander or even the leather wheel....are you concerned about jeopardizing the heat treatment of the blade? I am referring to the the very fine edge which is only half a micron? Thanks!
Yep. As I said in the video, make sure not to burn the edge.
How long was your tongue before you started testing the sharpness of knives like that? Like Gene Simmons long?
craziest "sharpness test" I've heard of came from a local mine from where I live.
Guy was gifted a rather beautiful knife for his long and faithful time as an employee at the mining company (where Health and Safety was a big thing).
This guy was the rather typical boastful tough-guy miner who loudly proclaimed "Typical, they give out a pretty knife that can't cut for shit" and as to demonstrate the sharpness of his blade, if not his wit, dragged the knife over his belly.
He was quickly rushed to the hospital, having partially disemboweled himself.
They stopped gifting knives to employees at that company after that :P
Wow...Thanks for the story!
This is the most satisfying video ever in my opinion
if i slice it across my wrist n it starts to bleed then i know its sharp lol
love this video!! love all the doug and frank videos good job bro
Thanks man! The totality of FMA is broad and has depth. Explore. Thank you for watching!
Funker Tactical - Fight Training Videos You earned a bucket full of superlatives with this one. Honest as the day is long and (well here's where I should pull a bunch of adjectives out of that bucket) just... and nail them to the following; Truth. Craftsmanship. Humility. Kindness. I would ask if it's OK to give you a hug & say thank you. I'm a professional leather worker. Have been since 1968. I still watch for ways to improve. This taught me the best I've heard/seen in years. Thank you. I wish everyone on You Tube would see this. The world would be a better place. No b.s. It's that good.

Thanks a lot!!!! Really glad you enjoyed it!!!!
It was really fun doing this video with Funker and It awesome to see all this positive feedback from you!
Thanks to this awesome video, I just lost half my tongue and thumb trying to see how sharp my knife really was.
I always wondered what I was doing wrong when i got that burr. now I know that I need to go through another step. Cool!
What I'm doing is cutting paper in half and seeing if it was easy or not. Btw, nice video bro!:)
Thank you!
"I eat like 3 knives a year, and it tastes so good"
Another great test is to feel it with your heart. Literally.
8:18 guess I'm not a idiot because I immediately said I'm not doing that shit lmao
Fuck! Just cut my mouth off... Yep, razor sharp. Thanks man.
I'm a wood turner and Lucy enough to have a Tormek sharpening system. ;-)
I also use Tormek paste on my leather wheel!
mvellekamp lol good stuff isn't it.
Yep, I'm actually working with Ken Onion on a new brand of honing paste.
Imagine you try to feel how sharp knife is with your tongue and you sneeze lol
I like to run the blade in a zig zag motion across my cornea just to see how sharp it really is. It's not the same if you wear contacts though.
sounds like hockey skates getting sharpened
i love the buzzfeed music
9:13 I had a fucking heart attack
nice work. keep it up
Thank you!
thank you for the videos!
I new about most of them just because my grandfather is an older man from the Vietnam era
this dude really knows his shit keep up the great work dude I'd pay u to sharpen my knives any day
Thank you, my friend!
mvellekamp got a question for u what's ur humble opinion on the knife brand Kizor bc I just bought 2 of them s30 steel
America.
America...f*ck yeah!
He looks like he could be the brother of Grant from the King of Random videos
traderjoes he is
Wow that was a great vid thanks.
Good to see someone else feels compelled to finish shaving all the way down the forearm to avoid those unnatural bald patches. Gotta test on both arms too to be sure the edge isn't misaligned.
Another test I use sometimes is to see if a knife will cleanly slice Kleenex sticking up out of the box. Admittedly I can't do this with all of them, but those few that can....
I came here to turn my csgo fieldtested knife to factory new and it worked
The best ways to test knife sharpness.
ua-cam.com/video/bNNhnqYnUzg/v-deo.html
I'm not a pro but i do sharp my own kitchen knifes with a grinder and a rock wheel. Then i give them shine with a felt wheel and some polish green chalk. And it seems that it works pretty well at removing that edge too besides giving a nice shine. I guess that a leather wheel is not really indispensable. Am i right or am i wrong?
i have never been so scared for a guy on UA-cam. don't bleed out my friend!
cool! but what's the best way to get my knives at home this sharp?
Video #2...coming soon my friend. Thank you for watching!
Funker Tactical - Fight Training Videos sweeet!!
CliffStamp seconded.
Thanks for the recommendation! He has some good information.
i personally sharpen mine with a honing steel first, then with a very smooth whetstone and after that with a leather strap. that does make them pretty sharp.
comments are HALLARIOUS
Yes, they are!
Mike and FT, thanks for making this video. I learned some things and it's great to get Mike out there and get him some exposure.
Mike, guitar was a great bit, kind of breaks up the "norm" with Funker vids and sets you apart. Don't listen to the haters!
Thank you my friend!!!!
Ending is cool !!!!!
Ahhhhhhh better then porn!
Felipe Mendoza than*
Whenever I do the tongue method it freaks my mother out :P Been doin it like that since I was in my early teens.
OMG! I am SOOO JEALOUS! That is an amazingly sharp knife! You are awesome, I don't know if I could ever get a knife that sharp, but I will sure try :) Great guitar work 👍
I cringed from the thumb part
Great video. Hell no to that thumb thing, however.
lmao ive always tested my edge by shaving leg hair.. in the summer it looks crazy.. ill have patches missing all over my legs
Use to shave a spot on my arm to test the edge now I just use a leg cause I only wear pants. keeps you from having obvious bare spots. I also test every edge for bite on my right index finger right on the print. If it gives good bite I then run the full edge across it in increments to make sure all is evenly sharp by giving the same bite at the same depth into the finger print.
I Guess on the same point sharpness is a matter of relativity being that i wouldn't want a polished edge on a knife used for cutting things like rope for that i prefer the edge to have tooth that you get straight from a diamond stone or grit stone before getting to the level of mesh.
😳wow 😎👍
the way emos check if a knife is sharp they just cut there wrist :)
Brittle Tipple the way weeaboos like you test their edges is by cutting the demons of their waifus past
That's edgy.
I did self harm,not funny don't made fun of them they have mental issues and need help.
Stereotypical
The way you check for a weaboo on the internet is check their profile pic. If it’s hentai, or some random anime chick, they’re a weaboo.
their*
Look at this guys eyes... he's blitzed af!! Lol. It's great 👍
I don't know why the sound of paper getting cut is so satisfying to me
Is this your "Pawn" shop? ;;;))))))
What knife are you using in the video?
It's a Mike Vellekamp custom...hand made.
Brian Robinson hi
Brian Robinson hi bro
Bro you great video loved the guitar solo at the end great stuff keep Rockin man 8)
Thank you much, brother!
mvellekamp any time my brother need to see some mor of your guitar solos as well great stuff 8)
What I generally do cause I'm lazy is a really gently put my four fingers on the blade's edge and I just really gradually increase the force on the blade until I feel like it's just about to cut me. It gives you a really good idea of how much it takes to cut
"To find *our* if you are an idiot or not" the irony
I know, I know...but I didn't do the video...I just did the sharpening. The video was put together very quickly and to go back and edit and re-release just to fix that little screw up just doesn't make sense at this point...However, lesson learned!
your eyes are beautiful
Lol...thank you!
thump up to this crazy weird creative guy
My tops scandie folder came this sharp I couldn't believe it was so nice
great gift for attention-hungry emos
I cut my thumb and tongue and it all your fault!
Impressive sharpening but no way in hell would I use my tongue. Guy has some excellent skills for sure.
Tongue and finger part... oh jeeeez!
This is great makes me want to get into knife making even more than I did before
