For me, the ideas in kzfaq.infoUgkxAfqpMLyFn37qcqUl0FAzqkkycQeXqrhP Plans were a starting point for building different sheds . Ryan gives ideas that allow an individual to draw nicest conclusions into the design and building of his or her own shed.

Good to see you again, Dave. Thanks for keeping it simple, a guy can lose his mind watching all the sharpening videos.

You're my absolute favorite channel on KZfaq Dave..and its like Christmas when I see an upload & you having an episode about knives is Top-shelf for me!! Its like having a conversation with my Grandfather again & I thank you immensely!! God bless you and your family🙏

This is fantastic. I found one of my Dad's old sharpening stones and now I know how to use it, I've been sharpening everything around the house. Thank you.

Good to see you again, Dave. It's been awhile. I just happen to have my grandson sitting here. I was going to show him how to sharpen his knife. But you did that for us. Thanks so much for keeping it simple. He did a real good job on it. Great seeing you again thanks

Perfect mix of entertainment and education. Thank you both for sharing your gifts!

Finally! I needed a good knife sharpening lesson. This was perfect. Thanks!

Straight to the point with no bs. I like your no frills method that doesn't require a bunch of stuff.

Dave Whipple,you have taught me so much, have to find my dads old stone he put into wood.Thank you👊👍😉😀

I have kind of stayed to my self this past year. In the 1970's and 1980's I would have been proud to teach all the things Jim Smith taught me. Now it is 2022 and I am glad you are sharing your knowledge. I still want to help you some how. It will come. I am so proud of what you do.

Good information. My Grandad taught me how to sharpen a knife on a stone when I was a kid but we only ever used either a bit of spit or a bit of water. Oil makes so much more sense. I had no idea about using a strop. I will have to look into making or buying one. Many of my knives could do with a good sharpen.

Always loved the designs of the older pocket knives from the past. The Imperial pocket knives were always really good looking to. I like collecting pocket knives from the past when I run across them these days.

Great video Dave! Sometimes remembering the simple things and the enjoyment they bring is so important. Thanks for being my favorite KZfaqr ever, and thanks for all you do to keep the old ways going. . . : )

I really like the "probably with the things you already have at home" part. You showed the old tried and true method works very well... and explained the way to achieve the results we want! Good video! Thank you.

I love that you use an old imperial. They're cheap, easy to sharpen and work like a charm. I've been watching your channel a long time now and have come to learn and a lot about cabin building and home steading which is my end goal after the military. If you'd like to reach out to me, I'll send you and brooke each a new pocket knife. Not that you need them with such timeless classics but if you do they're here for the taking

Thank you Sir, for your straight-forward method and explanation, reassuring after all the "experts"!

Thanks Dave! My hub luved sharpening his knives...he has long passed, but would have enjoyed your vid, as I have. Good, Practical, Inexpensive, Common Sense info, is what we can always expect from you. Continued health and God Bless! P.S. I think being 'radical' is today's measure of survival.

Mind blown!!! I've never thought about using a box. I've used stones, but I always enjoy watching the craft.

Thank you Dave! That was the best instruction on knife sharpening, at least for me. After field dressing a deer or cleaning fish, I would always by a new hunting and fishing knife once my old knife became dull.

Glad to see you back. Wish I could do all this! I've got a life time and several drawers of good, but dull knives

Nice knives and good video. Feel and sound are important for the way I sharpen. You hit that sweet spot. As a younger fella (I'm not old, only 50 something) I asked everyone who sharpened to show me exactly how they did it. A lot of different methods.The cool part is people like you are still willing to teach. Nice strop also. Thanks Dave. Good to see you.

Love the way you explain stuff, this video is exactly what I need. Just bought myself a really nice by my standards pocket knife. Benchmade bug out. After years of $40 knives and sharpening them on a bench grinder coated with oil.

Excellent video, and very handy for those new to sharpening, and even those that arent new can pick up tricks. I know i did with the valve compound! One thing ill sometimes do is with a multiblade pocket knife, usually my stockman knives, ill have different angles on different blades. The clip and sheepsfoot are average utility angles, 20° or so. Not sure since i eyeball it. But the spey or penblade, depending on knife, are at a much finer angle, for almost surgical cutting ability.

Excellent visual and verbal explanation here. Thanks, Dave!

Thanks Dave, great video for people like me that don’t know much about sharpening or never have the best of luck!

Excellent instruction video. I like how you do more than show "how," you tell us "why" with each step. I definitely picked up some helpful tips for sharpening my pocket knives (I don't use near enough oil!).

Perfect timing. I just found 2 hunting knives in a leather sheath on State land last week. I'm making new handles tomorrow and didn't know how to sharpen them. Thanks Dave

I love your videos! They definitely encourage me to go back to my roots and just live a more simple life style. Definitely super relaxing and your are great at explaining how to do things

So good to see you Dave, seems like forever. I appreciate your videos and know you have a life, a blessing to myself to see you again.

This is the ONLY channel I wait for and every time its Quality!!! Thanks for your hard work dave hope to see how the cabins are doing in the summer!!!!

I learned how to sharpen my knives when I started doing wood carving, it isn’t hard at all just a matter of doing it the way you did, thanks,

I’ve cut myself so many times holding the stone in my hand and sharpening with the other. That box is a great idea, I’m definitely going to be using that from now on.

Great simple steps, Dave! We appreciate that 😀

Great information Dave, you are right the old proven methods ARE the best methods! You are an incredible TEACHER with the gift of succinct English language!

Dave there is nobody better than you. Miss your vid’s big time. All the best to you and your family.

Some nice little old school pen knives and simple clear instruction. Thanks Dave.

You may have helped me discover the Holy Grail of sharpening. I've worked so hard stroking knives to get them sharp, I think I almost had a stroke! Never got a really good edge. This is simplicity at it's finest. I want a "barber sharp" blade. Liked this video.

Rally appreciate this video the strop info was always kind of a mystery thanks

Thanks for another great practical video. I always learn something new that I can use from your videos.

Good video Dave,I finally gave up and bought a chefs choice model 15 trizor edge.A little spendy, buy once cry once...Had it for 5 years now and it does the best job of anything I've used,hands down.Made for kitchen knives,but I use it for my benchmade too.For a small pocket knife I think the stone is best,heavy on the leather at the end .Thanks, Jeff

Ah great, glad you're back. I enjoy watching you n your wife's videos. Handy information, I love, love the outdoors....☺️

It really spooked me seeing all of those knives, as I have all of them. They're super cool.

Hey, Dave I’m a fanatic with sharpening and I just want to say that your way is a good well thought out common sense approach. Very simple and effective. I especially like that you advocate low angle stropping as stropping will always increase the apex angle if you strop at the same angle as grinding on the stone. Glad to see your channel has grown so much over the years.

thank you for showing the old school way..it's the way I was taught and it works fast and treats the blade properly on the edge. noburr when the strop is done!

Very nice to hear from you! An as you an I spoke before,my grandpa showed me the exact same way, an so glad to see you an my grandpa do it the same. An I have been doing a lot of this,since I just retired,bought the top of a mountain in maine,an building my own log cabin as we speak! Dealing with these black flies killing me.i hope all is well with you both,an I will send some photos soon. Godbless an thank you as always, Deeds

Nice video, I've been sharpening my knives as well as other people's since I got my first stone when I was a teen. Now I have many stones, of many types, you can never have too many!! Have a great day, and stay sharp, stay safe!!

Thanks so much Dave. I've been struggling with this for awhile now. Definitely going to try this method out.

Glad to see you put out another video. Good to see you using an old school method of sharpening.

Just love your videos Dave. Simple to follow instructions, which make it easy to replicate your results. David in the U.K.

Thanks for giving us ,great info and tips on sharpening knives! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Thank you Dave, much appreciation for your knowledge and time

Well done. Our best to the wife. Blessings from North Carolina 👍

Thank you for showing how to hone a blade on a stone by pushing that blade-edge-molecules into the stone, rather than pulling them away, essentially weakening the blade. Makes sense to me.

Dave so good to see you back at it.

Thank you Dave! I was just about to write in the comment section of your videos to ask you to please make a video on this topic. I really like the way you explain things and the mindset that you don't have to be an expert to do this and that. Awesome attitude and awesome video!

Hey. Nice video! Thanks for saying talking for my bday.

Awesome video! You make it look so easy! I recon I’ll give it a try to. Practice makes perfect right

Appreciate the straightforward, easy going approach to the subject. I definitely went through an overthinking stage when I was learning and it just eventually happened when I calmed down, bit by bit. Good stuff Dave!

Awesome tutorial! Love it. Sweet old knives. My grandma's maiden name was Whipple.

That was some great information!!! Thank you so much for sharing all of this information with us!!! God bless!!!

Thank you Dave the valve grinding compound and the buffing compound and a thrift store old leather belt has cleaned up my Mora carbon steel knife.😎

Thanks for the great video Dave…..It took me back when I watched my Dad sharpen his knives. 🤗

Well presented Dave. Good job.

Very cool! So good to see you Dave! God bless!

Long time no see Dave, welcome back! 👍👍✌️ I normally use just the strop for sharpening, just a maintenance thing. The wet stones for shaping (removing chips because I was too lazy to get a set of wire cutters and used my pocket knive...oh well). Love the technique, it's one I was raised on from a couple of generations of family members, and its never let me down. Thanks for sharing! Keep'em Sharp!

Some good information.things I didn't know . Thanks Dave

DAMN! This is - by far - the best sharing video on YT. Thanks so much.

Good information to have. Thank for the video.

Excellent knowledge. Thank you for the lesson.

I see I’m not the only one who has a bunch of junk pocket knives around. I lose them so fast I have learned to keep it cheap. I like your technique! 😊

Oh man, this is awesome. I love how much you simplify what others will complicate. We have TOO many options available to us these days...

Thanks for the refresher course on sharpening. Enjoyed the video.

Awesome video! Thanks. I definitely learned a lot.

Thanks for the video. Great tips.

With dozens of old skinned knives and butcher knives hunting knives and axes hatchet and pocket knives it is really nice to see your methods of sharpening thanks

Well, my goodness its good to see you! Appreciate the information on the sharpening stone and angle. Look forward to seeing you soon.👍

Stellar as always - I've had a 2-sided stone in my kitchen drawer for ages and haven't used it once (I have been using the Spyderco sharpener, it's amazing)...this is the impulse that I needed to break out that stone and tidy up all of the old, dull knives kicking around the place! Thanks for gettin' us radical, eh?

Thanks Dave! Always love your videos

Thanks Dave. Much appreciated

Wow that was good timing ! I was just about to search how to sharpen my buck knives . Now I don't have to search. Thanking you Robbbert from Melbourne Australia.

Great advice and nice choice of knives!

Great video Dave. Love you & Brooke 💜

Great video Dave! Cheers from London England 👍😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Thank you for teaching us! I just bought a sharpening stone to keep our axes sharpened I did not know about the oil!

Hi Dave , I always wondered what I was doing wrong . Thanks for the great information. 👍

Thanks Dave, good information!

Welcome back Dave, great video 👍👍 thanks

Long time, no see Dave. It’s good to have a video from you. Such a useful bit of info on knife sharpening. I use a steel on my kitchen knives and sharpen them regularly. I think the key to knife safety is to actually keep it sharp. Nothing more dangerous than using a blunt knife where accidents can happen so easily. Looking forward to your next video real soon. Cheers from Australia 👍🏻🇦🇺🌺🌴

Welcome back ! We have missed your videos !

Good to see you back

I've been waiting for this video for well over yr. Thanks ever so much Dave

Excellent teaching video Dave!! Wish I had that strop!!!! Stay Safe Everyone!!!!!!

Im in my 70's and the best I could ever sharpen was only good enough to cut baling twine. Ive never been shown how to do it until your video on using a sharpening stone. Thanks

I sure am glad to see a new video from you Dave!

those were some nice knives. I love old ones with the blank federal shield and the acorn also. they were meant to be engraved with your initials

Mate, that was a great vid.... subbed on the assumption all your vids are this good! Cheers 🍻

Simple and informative. Reminds me of my Boy Scout years. Good video!

Great tutorial. Thanks! 👍👍👍👊😎

Thanks for another interesting, entertaining & informative video. Looking forward to more content now the weather is getting warmer!

you posting makes my month man
