On a positive note, I checked my recommended sharpening stones when uploading this video, and they are all back in stock! Some of the shaptons are $35!!!🤯 The links are in the description. I wouldnt wait if you are thinking about picking one up, since some were out of stock for months. Anyway Thanks again for all the support, I hope to be back to normal sooner than later🤞
Also this isnt cv19 related in anyway. This issue would have started before cv19 even existed. And I was never "jabbed". Thanks.
Man, you're a gift to the whole of YT. Hope you get well very soon! 🍀Take care and take your time. Cheers
Got my first sharpening kit for the first time 2-3 days ago. Been wanting to sharpen knives for over 2 years because of you and it’s been a fun adventure watching you over that time. I hope for the best in your recovery! Cheers for the great content
Eat meat! Good recovery
Get well soon, buddy! Take enough time for yourself, even if that means putting a slice of bread less on that table.
Several years ago, there was a moment where you had to announce a break from videos as well and you had expressed some doubts about your continuation. I said it then, and I'll say it now again: we'll be here, no matter how long you need or no matter the changes you need to implement. Because we know you will only publish videos that you fully approve, we know that even in a different format the value of the information and of the production will still be the same and it will still have your signature style.
Throttle yourself before your body does it for you...

Don’t apologize brother!! We love your channel and content!! We miss you, hanging in there, ok?! Prayers heading your way to get well soon!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I got affected by the Guillain-Barré syndrome which attacked my nervous system, like you described. After 4-5 months difficult, I started to recover and now after one year I got far better, 99% of my capacity. Be patient, I’am sure you will go through!

You have fundamentally changed how I view sharpening and I truly mean that. I sincerely hope you recover fully from this and my subscription ain't going anywhere 🙏🏾 💯
Exactly what I was thinking and almost said myself.
Long time lurker. Your videos have added value to my life, not just in providing advice but also on my approach to certain endeavors. I honestly wish you nothing but the best outcome with whatever you are going through and will go through. Please know that the community is here to help with whatever we can. Much respect and appreciation. Ad astra per aspera!
Double check for Lyme. My girlfriend and boss had similar symptoms where it came on unexpectedly. Prayers for a full recovery. Thank you for letting us know. Ry
This. I was lucky to not have long lyme but there was a MYRIAD of weird ass symptoms for about 2-3 months after the initial infection. I spent like 42 days total on Doxy.
Yeah that first thing I thought of and they normally don't test for it. He lives in Pa and is in the woods a lot. I live in York county and it's bad here, and they Doctors don't normally test for it unless you ask them to

Wow, I felt that in my heart.
You started me on my knife sharpening journey. I'll be with you through yours.
Speedy recovery my friend.
I hope you make a recovery and this doesn't affect you long-term. Take the time to rest and recover.
Here's pulling for FULL RECOVERY. Stay positive and strong my friend! We're all here for you and love your content!💪
I was diagnosed with bowl cancer in 2020, just had a CT scan last week and hoping for another all clear! Stay strong and never give up!

Prayers sent for a swift recovery and for wisdom along the way. Regardless of content or style, I’m sure your videos will continue to be amazing resources. You are a naturally gifted teacher and your videos have been such a great resource. Stay strong!
I've just started watching your videos in the last few weeks and I am sorry too hear about your neurological problems. Don't lose hope that things will work out. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2008 and meds have controlled the lesions. I'm am holding out hope that you will find out what's going on and will regain anything you've lost in motor skills. I had almost lost the ability to speak and had trouble walking but regained 99 percent of what was lost. So keep the faith and know that you're not alone.
Wow great to hear! I have more testing to undergo in regards to my lesions and how they are developing. I dont have a diagnosis yet and am waiting on spinal tap results to come back. My dr says I will recover no problems so i have high hopes. I believe we caught it very early, almost too early as its hard to pin down a diagnosis. Anyway, thanks for sharing and I hope you continue to improve! Never give up, never surrender 💪💪
I loved hearing you say "full recovery". Take your time, take care of yourself.
BTW if by changing your content, you mean taking intentional steps to increase your personal income through UA-cam, you should do it and do it without regret or shame, you more than deserve a healthy income from all your hard work. Ignore anyone who disagrees.
@@TimothyRourkeYup... ^THIS^
If Alex were to upload 2 or 3 low-effort daily shorts of say a log rotting on the ground outside his workshop or the sun overhead, then surely we could all click on them and like them to show our support, thereby maintaining an income for our boy while he rides this out and recovers?
It'd be minimal-effort for us all to do that every day, and could hopefully make a big difference for the channel, so why the hell not? 😊👍
Alex, we're all rooting for ya Buddy 💪😎, with best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧
@therogers4432 strong agree, please feel free to livestream an empty wall and we’ll monetize the shit out of it for you
15 of the guys in my platoon from Desert Storm died with ALS, a few more of us had chemical weapons residue in our spinal fluids. It is always scary thinking, in 5 years or five more no symptoms yet. Figure last year with a checkup with my doctor being over 50 he wanted to just check for ALS and go over with me on what I was expecting for symptoms showing up. Then again 3 nurses in the family with 2 more in college to also notice things. It gets real when friends, family your age start to pass away and for me that started 20 years ago.
Only problem is, there's no way to just test for ALS. It's a purely clinical differential diagnosis that can take years to accurately diagnosis positive or negative. With no way to be 100% sure. 5 different neurologist can end up giving you 5 different % of certainty of a pos or negative diagnosis. It's the whole reason average life expectation is 5 to 8 years after a positive diag. The person has been living with it for many years undiagnosed. I went through 4 years of trying to figure things out. I was given 3 possibilities, ALS, polyneuropathy, or young on set Parkinson's. None of which are good, but one better then the other 2. Eventually ended up diagnosed as likely Parkinson's. Which was strangly a relief. At least it won't kill me. A true diagnosis of Parkinson's can't happen without an autopsy, so they always say likely. Prayers that you end up dodging any form of neuro degenerative disease. They are the one disease type they can not stop or slow down. They can only manage the symptoms.
@@williamallen7836 You are so right about a pretty short life expectancy after being diagnosed. I had a tenant next to me that got diagnosed with Parkinson's, and he just kept getting worse & worse & worse. Actually, I have a shaky left hand (when I am under lot of stress), and I was examined and found it was an "essential tremor". And, I thought that what he had (at first) might have been that and similar, but no -- it kept getting worse & then more of his body was doing it. And, it got real bad. He got pretty depressed, because he found that there was nothing they could do with his. And, it's sad that he passed earlier this year (no last year -- sorry), and I do miss him. Some diseases are untreatable, unfortunately.
Man I hope you get a full recovery. You are one of the last real people on UA-cam. Love your channel. And thank you for all the knowledge you pass along for free. Good luck.
Yup... ^THIS^
Well said Sir 💪😊
When faced with tragedy people never stay the same. They get better or worse- you strike me as someone that gets better. Stay strong, keep your head up and your thoughts up even more.
That’s sad to hear. I hope you will recover as soon as possible so you can resume your normal life!
Wishing you a quick and full recovery. You've taught us all a ton, and we're excited to see what's next!
Thanks so much!
It felt odd to thumbs up a video about you being sick but I want you to know we support you
I know what you mean 🙂😂
Hang in there brother.... Many thoughts and prayers for a great recovery.
Get well man! Bodies are weird but doctors can be amazing. Kick the ass of whatever the issue turns out to be.
Doctors are the 3rd leading cause of death in the US. If they're killing at least a quarter of a million American a year, needlessly, these are all preventable errors, then just imagine how many they injure or harm in some other way. Your faith in the American so called healthcare system is entirely misplaced and extremely naive, frankly foolish. Anyone that interacts with this broken system needs to have an advocate working on their behalf. Your doctor does not work for you in this country, they work for your insurance company and that's whose interests they serve.
Sorry to hear of your troubles. I was diagnosed with MS back in 2007 and have dealt with similar symptoms as you mentioned, there is an Ebb and Flow to the symptoms and depending on things like stress level, heat, being sick or tired, being stuck in traffic, being intoxicated and effectiveness of the medication. Not knowing about the long term effect of these things is scary, but i cant focus on it because the stress will make things worse. At some point i decided to let is go and take what i can from each day. I make more effort to do the things i enjoy since they may not always be there for me tomorrow. For example May-October i fish for striped bass, i go in the surf and fish off the rocks, things which i know might be more dangerous for me as i get weaker and less stable every season, but i know once i cant do it i'll never be able to again, so i push it and take those extra risks to get as much as i can from life. It has also taken a long time for me to listen to my body and to understand if I'm overdoing it and to reel back before issues escalate. This can be tough sometimes as other people might not understand, "you look fine WTF is your problem? Its just walking suck it up." . I hope they get to the bottom of it and you are able to make a full recovery.
Unfortunately I think thats the direction things are leaning at the moment. Waiting on further testing to confirm. Thanks for sharing! I have been forcing myself to do things so I dont get into a rut. Hopefully you can remain on top of your symptoms as I know they are tough! The mind is a powerful tool!
@@OUTDOORS55 I hope you fully recover soon! But even if it turns out to be MS, just know, that nowadays there is very efficent medication. I got diagnosed with MS back in 2006 and since then, there were plenty new therapies introduced to the market. I found a good therapy for me, and soon it will be 20 years for me with MS. I'm still walking, working, enjoying my family and making knives in my workshop :) The main symptoms i'm experiencing is fatigue and that i'm not as stress-resistant and strong i used to be. But that could also be the old man body i'm carring around :) Stay strong, take your time and keep enjoying life! All the best to you
Sorry you're having such troubles! I have learned a lot from your videos, and you've revolutionized my understanding of knife sharpening. Take the time you need, adapt as you need to. Your clear-eyed take on so much related to sharpening edges is unique and greatly valued. I'm enjoying a durably sharp edge on my Spyderco Delica 4 pocket knife, and our kitchen knives, as I have never been able to create before. It is entirely thanks to you.
All the best.
Alex, I'm sorry to hear this! You have literally influenced large parts of my life, from teaching me how to sharpen properly to attempting to make my own forge, jigs and knives. I know how frustrated you must be when you are as self-sufficient as you are to now have to rely on doctors and such. And to have your bodily freedom affected feels awful, especially when you are good at so many things. But I'm glad to hear you are staying positive and have a good support system with family and friends. Positive attitude and faith that you will get through this can make a world of difference.
I've parkinsonism due to medical side effect and it's going to stay lifelong unfortunately. You're not alone and you're one of my favorite youtube content creator. Best wishes to your recovery.
Sorry to hear! Remember, somehow life has a way of turning the bad around for the good! Stay positive, the mind is a powerful thing! Praying for ya!
@@OUTDOORS55 you too!~
Now you can tell people that even with Parkinson's, you can still tell how great a channel OUTDOORS55 is! My uncle passed away from complications due to his Parkinson's, but only after decades of surviving with it and that was in the early 90s. I'm certain the doctors can do much better for you today.
@@trplankowner3323 yes. In fact I have shared his videos on both my facebook timeline from time to time, and on my business website because I agree with him so much in so many aspects, and I like how he presented the truth with wacky humor.
We’re with you. Do what you have to for your health. I have MS and it did change certain aspects of my life, but humans are resilient.
Damn dude, I hope you come out on top of these health problems. We'll be here to watch whatever you put out, don't worry about us!
No apologies needed! You have to watch out for yourself first, speaking as someone with some health issues myself. We're here for you!
I and the rest of your 28,000 subscribers have loved getting to know you
through your videos over the years. You are an wonderful, likable guy and you
have such a good heart. You are also lucky that I am not your neighbor because
I would very likely spend most of my time peering over your shoulder watching
you work and create. Your sense of humor has been a bright spot in many a dark day and
I am grateful for your willingness to share your experiences. My thoughts and prayers
are with you and your loved ones and I fully expect you to come out on the other side
of this experience better and wiser than before. Your friend in Maine.
Get well soon!! We are praying for you.
Stay strong Alex, get well soon and switch back to regular content. Meanwhile we will keep watching and supporting you!
It takes bravery to be honest and vulnerable. Wish you a speedy recovery.
So sorry to hear you're going through health issues. As they say "if you don't have your health you don't have anything". I'll watch whatever videos you want to put out to help support you. Feel better and speedy recovery!
Hope you pull through brother, you changed the way I thought about knife sharpening. You seem like a great guy. All the best.
Hang in there brother. You've been a great teacher and entertained us for a long time. Get better soon, we'll be here pulling for a quick recovery.
No apologies needed. Glad to hear you're taking your health seriously.
Like the dude said don't apologize. Thanks for the update. Nothing but positive healing vibes
Well, we all hope you get better soon! You got this in the bag!
Meh still gonna watch whatever u gonna put out. Dont sweat it. U did get me into sharpening (even tho i still cant sharpen a kitchen knife) but u keepet me entertained with your style!
Your videos have helped me become the go to guy for sharp knives in my family. I take my sharpening kit when I visit their homes, and keep their knives "dangerous". I wish you the best and hope the doctors can get you fixed up.
Sorry to hear that. Stay strong 🙏
You have made some of the most thorough and informative knife sharpening info I have ever seen anywhere. I pray that your health improves and you can keep doing what you love!
Damn. :( We are here for you. Don't stress anything. Take the time you need.
Wishing you the best!
My thoughts are with you, get well, we totally understand, thanks for being so open. John
I got dx'd with MS back in 2016 and it's hard and its scary at first. 8 years later, I've learned to live with it and its my 'new normal'. You learn how to manage your energy, time, and efforts to get stuff done while you're feeling 'ok-ish' and you also learn when to rest and take it easy. I'm a knifemaker too but only very very casually now when I have the energy to do so. At this point I'll finish a knife in 6 months or even a year at times lol. But I still enjoy it and when I'm resting then I enjoy watching your videos or other knifemakers here on YT.
So hang in there! I'm confident you'll be able to adjust be successful too. Just take it easy and as you mentioned stay positive. Even if this sickness doesn't pass it's not game over.
That's sad that you've lost that much health in less than a decade now. I sure hope it slows down, and you are able to maintain your health. Sometimes, those types of diseases (MS, Parkinson's, etc.) really start slow, but then, once they have started, then they seem to take off really fast and people get worse much quicker than before. And, that happened to a fellow Tenant that I lived by. Well, I said the reply to @brett76544 (above) about it, if you care to read it. Honestly, I hope your health stays good, but if not, do stay positive. That helps.
Get well soon friend
I hope for a fast recovery.
Can't wait for the headlines claiming knife sharpening has been linked to nerve damage.
I wish you a speedy recovery. This was not at all easy news to hear. You are one of the people the world needs. Your teachings incorporate real work and real results. I have personally benefited from watching your videos. Have someone setup a Patreon channel for you and start a $5 tier.
Not commented before, but need to. Positive thoughts for you and those around you who I'm sure will be helping. I've spent *many* hours with you... learned so much, laughed plenty, thank you.
Thank you for the comment! And for watching! It really means a lot!
Praying for you during this difficult time.
Some of us have been with you from the early days, don't worry about the content. Just get well and please keep us updated, do whatever is at your comfort level.
You have been one of my favorite sources of knife info, especially sharpening. Since I began clamping my sharpeners to my work table, sharpening has become so much better. I credit one of your videos showing the importance of this and clamping the knife in your hands to hold the angle. I am thinking positively of your abilities continuing to enable you to deliver the high quality and humor in your videos. Thank you, and may this be a short setback. Bruce
Praying for your fast and full recovery.
Take your time and get yourself well. We'll still be here for you.

I’m sorry bro. Stay positive. That has helped me get through my health issues.

Your videos have always been a great inspiration for me and it was thanks to you that I started this incredible rabbit hole that is knife sharpening. 🙏🙏
Here to support you no matter what I love your content. Your content has helped inform me on a lot of things when it comes to knives especially sharpening.
So sorry to hear. Love your videos. I notice a lot of friends getting sick who got the vaxes. Is it possible that is causing your health issues too? Praying for your full recovery. God bless you.
sorry to hear about that man... Your videos have always been nothing short of inspirational.
Time to pray for recovery, your video really helped me choosing stones and getting better at sharpening.... I hope you get better soon!
Also i bought the sharpal stone , really love it, thanks for all the advices!
Alex, thank you for showing strength and sharing with this community. I will be thinking of you and praying that you find your answers soon.
wish you the best dude, I've watched you for years and cant tell you how much enjoyment I've had just from sitting here watching you talk about something you're so knowledgeable about. i hope you recover quick!
Been watching your videos a while. I love your common sense approach to everything, the attention to detail, especially the things everyone else misses, and that signature sense of humor that flows through all of it. Everything you've done has been enjoyable to me. So whatever you have to do or adjust to make it work... I'm not leaving. Sincerely, I hope you get better and figure it all out.

I hope that you get through this and recover super fast. Don’t feel you need to apologize to your fans.
All the best and a swift recovery! I’m really sorry to hear this. Just discovered your channel a couple of months ago and ended up ordering one of those unicorn dual sided Sharpal diamond ‘stones’ .. and I’m hooked on manual knife sharpening now. No turning back.
I got really good results really fast on the first 3 knives I’ve sharpened and have to thank you for all the great explaining and demonstrating how it’s done. Thanks 🙏🏻
Get well soon!
Wow awesome to hear! So glad you are getting good results so fast. Watch out, now everyone will want stuff sharpened 😂Good luck my friend and thanks for the support 🙏
Ha. I'd not just a skill, it's a full blown additction. I comming off of 3 hand surgeries in the past year and haven't been able to use my 'stones' for my good kitchen knives and they need work, badly. Nothing more frustrating than using a dull knife. Nothing more satisfying than sharpening your own and then using it/them.
Amiright?
I came out of an emergency operation that went wrong 4 years ago and I've been struggling with ill health ever since. You're not alone. All the best, I hope things turn around quickly for you.
Good luck to you friend🙏 im sorry your life was affected. Remember to think positive, and never give up, never surrender 💪💪
I will be praying for you. You are one of my favorite people on this platform and I have really benefited from the great information you have presented. If you put out videos, I will watch as always. Thank you and speedy recovery.
