So if you want Popeye arms stick with stock that is 1 in or thicker?

Knife making is something you can do as complex as you want. I wonder how good Condor tool and steel 1095 is compared to other 1095s...

That CPM version of 1095 is pretty awesome I think.

I have so many different sharpening stones . my regular knives, carving knives and chisels, knifes I make. for carving I try to keep my knifes and chisels as close to face shaving sharp as I can get. my daughter a beautician comes by and says daddy you been sharpen knifes again, you got razor burn from a dull razor .lol it's true. my normal method of keeping my stones perfectly legal is with a window pane or mirror take different grit sandpaper big enough to fold over edges and back side of glass. moving back and forth till all dark color gone. doing this regularly it only takes not many strokes. it works for me. papa wishing you well 😊

Maybe interested in Indonesian natural Whetstone?

Joe, the reason why one would make a 1/8" thick paring knife would be to make a TactiCool one! You know, just in case you get attacked by some hungry zombies while prepping diner! Joking aside, when you mention you like to buy steels from your trusted suppliers because you know what you're going to get, do you mean that some suppliers could sell a X grade steel under the Y grade designation just to make a sale?

Ever used 440C ESR? Ray Ennis and Jay Fisher also use 440C for most of their blades.

I wish you can just stick to the topic. You spend too much time on your tangents

Why are you talking about top 5 when this video is about top 6?!

Thank you for this detailed analysis of 440C 🫡

Lots of people sheer their nose at 440c and just don't understand how good 440c CAN be. Well done 440c is a damn capable steel when it's done well.

Great Work man

Good informative video I learn more about different Steel.

in one sentence is "you know". But was very interesting!

WE WANT THE 20 YEAR 940 REVIEW ASAP!!!! ❤🎉

Love this episode Joe!!! Thanks for everything you do! 😊❤

Thanks Joe very interesting...have you ever made a straight razor out of 4-40C ?

Awesome video

Great video thank you A knife out of 440C is also a good steel to hand down to the grandsons no maintain I have a couple of your knives in 440C and 1 in 1095 both great with your thin profile blade

I've had a case with 440 I liked it

A well balanced steel done well is rare and definitely a joy to use, especially when it comes to sharpening time.

I'm not sure those guys are getting great results. You're paying them to learn on the job and getting them right at the start of their education. Sounds like a terrible plan to me.

Is norton crystolon coarse/fine combo good for harder steel? Like for thinning a japanese knife for example?

Joe, just wanted to come back here and thank you. Thanks to your videos I’m able to get hair popping edges off of a cheap lansky 400 grit diamond stone on my benchmade 940. This is something I was not able to do without stropping on polishing compound. Now I can run a courser edge and cut for a lot longer than before without having to go to the strop and lose some of that “toothy-ness” Thanks again my friend.

Thanks for the tip. It will make a great gift for a hunter I know

Sage and Sharp tail grouse as well that I've seen😂

Awesome stuff I taught knife sharping on a Norton triple block some 40 years ago... Thanks again

My hearing is horrible from not wearing earplugs

Happy Sunday Joe!🎉❤

I have seen that fix done a couple decades ago...my son's 2006 Suburban has sprung a leak. Will try this trick. Seems like someone made a product a few years back that would seal a hole while dripping and stop the leak. Thanks for your video.

In my land Iran aged hunters make fun of whoever use protection devices. They call them “Soosool” which means sissy boy 😂 This is just for fun I believe protection in general plays effective role in how long you last in the field. Thanks for great video 🍻🔪

I love to hear tips about mud management and what we can learn from how the mud behaves. Good video 👌

What's keep spinning in my mind is i see examples with a mirror shine edge and still have enough tooth for a bite. I hear and experience what your saying after using my 800 and 3000 Naniwa stones and strop with 2 micron diamond spray on a nano cloth. Is there a way or workaround to get that mirror and still have bite?

So Did it ever loosen up any ??

Joe I just ordered a hard Arkansas 12-2-1 from Dan's whetstones. I'm excited

Johnson Kenneth Brown Mark Martin Karen

I've been thinking about getting me a King whetstone. The exact same one

Seeing the poor performance of the polished edges reminds me of something I saw about samurai cloth armor. Sounded kind of crazy but it makes sense after watching this. Thanks for doing this video, it does a great job of illustrating the differences and kind of highlighting the importance of how the edge will be used when picking finish. Very much appreciated.

I’ll bet I could get those 1095 pocket knives crazy sharp . All my woods knives are carbon steel mora bushcraft black and a giant Ontario . I love the idea of a slip joint with 1095 . Great stuff man .

Very nice video. Very informative and easy to follow. Thank you.

Never really given it a lot of thought. Gun belts aren't a thing here in Europe. I carry a victorinox spirit multitool on a regular belt for work. Hunting knives usually go in my pack, and only come out for field dressing duty. And quite a few of my outdoor knives have a dangler set up, which kind of go against the point you are making here, as they flop around by design. I might have to keep an eye out for a more solid belt type.

Doesn't matter how you carry your fixed blade here, if you get caught with it, you're getting arrested.Gun? You're dreaming. Even when they were legal to own, you couldn't wear it. I did buy a belt about ten years ago -- but after a lifetime of not wearing one, I just couldn't get used to it. Shows how useless I am, I thought the Carhartt looked great.

The 945 aka the mini Osborne is always with me. Great review!

12:00 the vent hole!

Good video and good info 👍, thanks again Joe.

Great video as always 🍻🔪

Leatherman and Victorinox has the box type Leather case, not bad at all. The 4 inch heritage case is next level from Leatherman, so comfortable to me. The problem with tactical look nylon & kydex cases, on bigger guys tends to catch on everything. Rounded shapes, real leather with a good snap is all you need. BUT: All of my thoughts maybe wrong/obsolete, because I ignored the belt itself all this time. Wow.

Good stuff Joe. BTW I've never paid that much for a belt. But if they would last for many many years it would be worth the money.

Great info. I've always said a good quality sheath or lack of one can make or break a knife sale. If I'm not carrying anything that day I prefer a softer leather belt for comfort. If I load up with a gun or knife I definitely want a thicker belt. Spot on Joe! Cheers!
