I think the beauty of your channel is its authenticity. It truly is two best friends sharing their passion, and having some fun. Never let this channel change that!
I'm really pleased with this! It works like a charm ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ Takes less time than my old electric sharpener because it can take more off the knife faster, and then it smooths out nicely with the finer grit polisher. I don't know how long it will last before the grit wears away, but I wouldn't mind having to replace it every once in a while.
you can strop on a lot of different things. leather from a belt, leather with polishing comound on it, news paper card board. As for stones 400, 1000, 6000 will work for most people. For a low grit I would suggest going with a diamond stone as it wont wear and doubles as a flattening stone for the other ones when they get worn. If your sharpening a really hard steel avoid the super cheap waterstones and arkansas stones as they might not be able to abrade the steel. The ceramics made by spyderco are great to because they are relatively in expensive compared to higher end waterstones and last forever.
wont get any benefits above 3000 and even then you might see no improvement. keep in mind that those steels don't keep angles below 25° and the material structure is rougher so you wont get that last bit of sharpness you might get from a steel like 1.2008
I love watching these two goofballs. Going through some tough times here and watching these guys really helps me forget my problems and puts a smile on my face. Thanks fellas!
such good script and nice touch of randomness, so fucking good edit so fucking good content, they need to get famous ! just make a stupid viral video like Mr Gear and people will see your channel's top quality content and will sub
WE; thank you for the content and for the "time well spend" feel i get after watching every video of yours , also feel free to upload more variety into your channel we want to know u guys, u can upload routine workouts in the woods and in the gym as i see you guys are pumped AF or upload some kind of challenge video that requires skill and has to do with knifes
thanks a lot for your kind words! it means a lot to us! We haven't had much variety lately because of the winter period. We can't really go to my place in the forest that often in winter so we are always working hard to produce some videos in one weekend. When spring arrives we'll be free to come up with a lot of new things hopefully!
The Pope Nutz Hang them up by a string so they only touch the air. Make sure there’s no wind draft in the room so they don’t get dull over time (6.000.000 years).
Watching this video again. So wholesome. I like the red leaves still hanging in the winter background and the slow shots of the knife being sharpened and seeing the water on the wetstone.
Great video, you keep delivering! I recently switched to waterstones because your display of sharpness was just so impressive. Yet I do not get the knives shaving sharp but I hope with practise and a good strop I can fix that. :D
Yess Bless man! Practice will make perfect. Try to keep your angle low and steady. If you buy a strop and compound you'll be getting the blades shaving sharp in no time.
Amazing video as always. Loved the reaction to the new knife - y'all really do love blades! Thank you for the quick but informative video on sharpening, I really gotta get some fancy stones like that.
Thanks for the exact details of the items in the product descriptions. That's really important to us as we look up the items and add them to our wish lists, consider purchasing etc. I also love your (both) sense of humor in these videos (I'm from America) and the great optimism and joy you present in your videos. Thanks!!
One more suggestion is to include (if you get time) a budget item. I've noticed a lot of these items are $100-200 USD + which is pretty expensive for beginners. We can maybe upgrade to those after we get some crappy versions of items and then learn. I'm new to Bushcraft and want to learn and start practicing with what I can afford.
I can suggest the DC4 stone. The cheap sharpening stones are just not for these outdoor knives. You could sharpen something like 12c27 on king stones or the cheap double sided stones but anything that has a better wear resistance will be hard. In the end you'll throw the cheap stones away. the DC-4 however will be able to get all your knives razor sharp for $20-$25,-
I got a smiths sharpening stone from my local store not so long ago, and just today I figured out that I could use it to sharpen my knives to the point where they can cut through spacetime. It’s a fine stone, it’s yellow in color and it has a little case on it. It works awesome in the field paired with my leather belt, I can strop without compound and make an even sharper knife. I got my mora back to factory sharpness with it (the chips in the blade just give it the character that makes it mine). But yeah, check it out. You’ll get good sharpness off of it. Now I just have to find a way to sharpen my axe.
Hey guys. Thanks for all the advice and mentioning knivesandtools in previous videos. I just bought their set of 3 stones and compounds for my strop etc. I just turned my two cheapest, most blunt knives into the sharpest in my whole collection!! You give really good information, in a really entertaining way! Awesome.
That is awesome you guys finally got snow ! We just finished a whole day of skiing after it had snowed profusely for 4 days....2 meters of perfect snow.Do you guys have places to ski near home ? P.S. Great video.
Dutch Bushcraft Knives that's too bad.If you guys ever get the chance you're always welcome here in Bulgaria.Bansko, Pamporovo,Chepelare,Borovets are amazing resorts and when there's enough snow world class
Guys your videos have a perfect balance between comedy and info. Your humor and editing is becoming better and better, for which your views and subs are increasing so rapidly. Can't wait till this channel becomes bigger so you can make more knife/gear reviews and tips. Keep doing you great videos.
First time to comment on a video. I think the “air humping” at the LONG TIME it may take to sharpen a knife, yes a diamond stone can help cut the time (if it is coarse Eniough!) but your mileage may vary. Excellent video. Life can be too short. Many need not take themselves too seriously. Relax. Have some fun. Thank you both for the years of enjoyment.
I wish I knew how you guys make videos like this, the editing, the music, the slow mo, it's pretty cool. Feel free to make a vid about it lol. Thanks guys and you guys make me wish I had a spot like yours (and a friend lol) to do bushcraft, it's awesome. Cheers and bonjour du Québec :)
haha this is awesome guys! I reached out to you guys a couple weeks ago about making a sharpening vid. Thanks for keeping your end of the bargain! Ironically, my first convex knife was also the Fallkniven Idun. Cant wait to sharpen it now! thanks again guys!
I have just recently fell in love with your videos. Most other camping and bushcraft channels are so serious, like my life is going to depend on the info that they give me. You two just keep it fun and enjoyable, witch is the whole reason we consider bushcrafting a hobby. P.s. the Shaggy One would make a natural stoner if you two weren't so body conscious.
at the first stone you sharpen for both a uniform scratch pattern and also watch the edge every several minutes too see if all reflections (dull spots) have gone. waiting for feeling a burr is a good method but if you raise the angle of the knife too high you can also get a burr without actually ending up with a sharp knife
Excellent video! For convex edge, the movement is quite straightforward, a rocking back and forth motion with increased angle when doing the belly / tip. How much height do you raise the spine from the stone? Fallkniven suggests the height of the blade thickness. So for a A1, would you raise the spine up to 6mm from the stone? more? less? cheers!
+josh nc it actually depends on the type of steel the knife is made out of. I will raise the spine higher if it's a weaker steel to higher the edge angle and increase the edge retention. With a scandi-vex you can often. Use the angle of the factory bevel but without the secondary bevel
So, as a tip I've found seems to be effective from sharpening my own knives: after stropping a knife I'll lightly drag the edge through a soft piece of wood, like the strop handle, to remove the rest of the bur that may be left and its always seemed to make the edges sharper than when I don't

The most hilarious sharpening video I have ever watched, lol
Oh yeah, I'm still laughing.
The quality of your videos gets better with each one lol good stuff

So silly. Knife reviewers that don't take themselves too seriously. It is fun.
Awesome, now I know how to sharpen my knives.
How do I stop myself from compulsively doing it every day?

Dutch Bushcraft Knives that's too bad.If you guys ever get the chance you're always welcome here in Bulgaria.Bansko, Pamporovo,Chepelare,Borovets are amazing resorts and when there's enough snow world class
Fantastic editing, music, and content. Subscribed!
+Jacob Hiller thanks a lot!
So THAT's the way to sharpen a V-edge?! Good to know, every (thurs)day is a school day with you two XD hahaha

Nice video as always!!

Thanks guys and you guys make me wish I had a spot like yours (and a friend lol) to do bushcraft, it's awesome. Cheers and bonjour du Québec :)
thanks a lot! we appreciate the kind words! we learned editing by trying it haha. With every video we experiment a bit.
Yep best way to learn is by doing it that's true. I'm curious do you guys use a freeware software or a paid licensed software?
I Love this Channel
Great video my friend. And the way you sharpen it can you do it with knives with a tip curved up
New favorite channel.
thanks a lot Rob!
Can i have a link and some advise on good but not expensive water stones? Thanks. Superb btw
LOL love the technique for sharpening the V-edge!!! JAJAJA
I replayed 0:54 about 2 dozen times now 😂😂 Mikkie are you always this , lets say eccentric ?
He never skips a day!

That reaction was absolutely priceless.
So funny and that fallkniven is beautiful
it so incredibly is..
You guys are the best.
Never met a Dutch bloke I didn't like!
Top video lads.
Love the video do you look for a burr on the first stone or just a uniform scratch pattern ??

just subscribed! you guys are freaking hilarious and informative
LMFAO I love yalls videos great information and plenty of Comedy...
Haha great vid again 😂 😂 happy new year lads from the 🇬🇧🙏
Amazing quality 10/10 would watch again

+michaelovj thanks a lot!
these guys you two are top shelf
keep it coming
Good job and good video, you make it look so easy. How long does it take you to sharpen a knife that's not too bad?
A good honest and straight forward video... Nicely done!
That was the best reaction scream ever. Good job!
Wonderful vid; thanks guys!!
ahahah best video about sharpening by far 😂
Congratulations on the NL5.
thanks a lot mate!
It was worth the 2 weeks secret! man, I rewind it 3 times, hehe.. I completely understand the reaction for such a beauty
Can you do a video specifically on the convex grinds ? I have a fallkniven f1 I am afraid to ruin !
So, as a tip I've found seems to be effective from sharpening my own knives: after stropping a knife I'll lightly drag the edge through a soft piece of wood, like the strop handle, to remove the rest of the bur that may be left and its always seemed to make the edges sharper than when I don't
+Mike Ottolini thanks for sharing Mike it's indeed a good technique especially when your field sharpening without a strop
