great to see you on this channel again!! very informative, thank you

Thanks for the video! I have watched your knife videos for more than 5 years. All my knives can wavy cut phone book paper and clean cut paper towels. When I sharpen the knives of friends and family, they are amazed and ask how I can get their knives so sharp. I tell them that I learned from a Japanese doctor.

loving another virtuovice video to watch in full with a glass of red wine

Watching your videos are so strangely soothing. It's like watching an artist work.

Both are beautiful knives. I appreciate you talking slower than most reviewers do. Sometimes it's hard understanding, with you I find it very easy. Enjoy your hunting trips.

greetings! I am a young michigan man that is getting into bushcraft and the outdoors as much as I can on my own as my father passed away when I was of age 10. I very much enjoy your videos as they are enjoyable, informative, and many have small bits of Japanese culture, I am very fond and fascinated of such and enjoy learning about it, I would like to learn Japanese, I took a year of Chinese in school and I understand the languages are similar In some ways, Japanese is not an easy language but I am not someone who enjoys easy tasks at all, a challenge is good. anyways, thank you for the stellar content my friend, keep up the good work! -Patrick

Quickly becoming my favorite channel. Thanks for posting!

Good seeing you DR. Looking forward to you hunting videos, good luck!!

I love virtuovice's sharpening videos and techniques... I've been watching on and off for years and can't believe I hadn't already subscribed. I also enjoy putting a smooth convex edge on most of my knives. Some people are obsessed with consistent angles, which is not a bad skill to have, but I've found that a shoulder on the edge makes cutting most things more difficult.

looked on your Chanel today to see if I had missed any recent videos. I was saddened to see that I had not missed any videos. I am glade to see your new video pop up!

Excellent acquisition. Nice blade. Awesome the restyled of the strope. Congratulations.

Nice looking knife, thanks for the sharpening tips!

As ever the master of the sharpening strop ! Thank you.

Very good video! Thank you! looking forward seeing your hunting video comparison!

You got lucky with your handle scales. The wood is very beautiful with great figures. Congrats and keep us updated

Another great video, Doc.

Thanks for sharing and sharpening the Elmax. Looking forward to the comparison.

I look forward to the follow up videos. I wish you good hunting for the remaining two months!

mr waco is back with yet another fine video and two fine blades......hope to see you again real soon.....good luck with the next few stag hunts.

That was an easy convex job you did. Thank you for another fine video!

Good to hear from you again!

Looking forward to your videos. The handle sales on the elmax blade are beautiful.

Another great video looking forward to the results

Very nice Bark River, Wako. Love the box sharpening kit, pretty neat.

Your the best man always get a laugh!! Very sick indeed.

Great video when will you be making another family dinner video? It is cool to see the tasty meals your family makes.

Beautifully crated

You are right, it is Sick! Great videos.

thanks mate your videos are great!

virtuovice is so good he almost put an edge on that popsicle stick.

Nice job, as always

Beautiful Handle also!!

I see by the comments, this is where the other KZfaq channels come to watch the master knife sharpener work his magic !!

Looks like a winner !!! Thanks for Sharing Brother !! Big ThumbZ UP (238th) ;)

Sick indeed! I still like the idea of Bravo 1 LT and Canadian Special though. It would be wonderful if you could make a comparison of each of these as the best all round and hunting knife. Thanks for the sharpening lesson as well!

Thanks for showing your technique for sharpening. I need a lot more practice

Lighta cola Awesome video man!

You can make all your sheaths EEP. Melt beeswax and apply it it a warmed sheath (oven or heat gun) with a tooth brush. Use a heat gun or blow dryer to even it out as you apply. Buff excess off with a rag. They come perfect. You can custom form each sheath to the knife while warm. Be sure to use beeswax.

I know I had asked you about getting the elmax "hair popping sharp", well I figured it out with, Kent's Diamond Paste, I got 7 syringes of it for 20 bucks!!! Just thought I'd let you know, it is great for sharpening elmax!!

Beautiful knives. Love the eep sheath. Thanks for the video. Glad you are making it through the winter. :-) How do you hunt in such deep snow? Keep up the good work.

Thank you for this latest video. Have you reviewed or tested knives made from AEB-L or Sandvik 12c27 steels? Properly heat treated they can be 60Rc or slightly more. What do the Sika feed on in such deep snow? Thanks again!

I'm very much looking forward to the future 3G vs Elmax video.

I hope you make videos about Garberg on this channel, too. Thank you.

Nice

I've missed those edge zooms.

I would be very interested to see/hear your opinions on the Cobalt Steel used in the Fallkniven Pro series knives compared to the Elmax blades

nice handle on that one

Always enjoy your video's and your way of life! So far, what are your favorite steels for fishing, hunting and bushcraft? Thanks!

keep them comeing 😃

nice!!

Thank you for your videos. Where in Japan do you live? I was in Yokosuka, Kangawa for 8 years.

where do you buy most of your bark river knives from? im quite in love with your collection! keep it up!

Did you need to reprofile or regrind you gunny to make it thinner before using it for bushcraft and feathersticking?

Hello Friend what is that microscope model that you use? Thank you

newer sheath (older) very very nice looking. the darker brown looks beautiful with the knife handle you chose. What is the best bark river knife for an all purpose camp knife, and a first time owner?

Microscope view is so helpful. But I don't understand when you said stropping the edge with the shoulder made it duller and duller?

Fallkniven!!!

I like the Fallkniven better, in comparison of the steel at least. You may ot may not know, 3G is another name for SG2/R2/SGPS/MC63.

tank's for your videos. what's your opinion between the elmax and laminated 3g? if the blade was the same shape or the same knive? what in your opinion is stronger and more best edge retention. only between in this too steels what is the best for survival ? tank you for all

a little stonesharpening from time to time would be nice to watch.

Hello, I just bought my very first bark river knife with beautiful elder burl How do you maintain your wooden handle? Do you oil them? If so, what kind of oil do you use?

Cv3 or elmax?

hi, what is the strop material on the bush 3 sided box with 12000 paste and 3000 paste in , is it leather on all 3 sides or balsa,it looks thick.?

What knife/steel would you recommend for white tail? I live in NE Ohio USA. All weather conditions.

Hello knife people. Dr. Wako has sold me on another Bark River knife . . . The Gunny Hunter Elmax. I must stop . . . I must stop . . . I must stop . . . ha ha ha

Say Heah Virtuovice, What do you think of the Elmax for a Survival Knife, Is it Chippy or Rollie-Pollie, Thanx You in Advance. ,, .

makes me sleepy and boring
