Most important is to take the time to heal and get well. No need to stress yourself in making hard core survival videos. I will keep watching Survival Russia !!
Lars,from what I read about the covid 19, the inflammation of your lungs, may linger in your lungs, for up to a year.Every one is different and unique, so doctors recommend steroids/ anti-inflammatory type of drugs, to lessen the effect of inflammation to your , body..Just a thought! Stay healthy, drinks warm fluids, rest and take it easy! Baby steps.....I will keep you in my prayers!😀👍
I wonder how many people are shaking their heads because their way is the “right” way? My way is definitely different than yours, but I’ve seen how sharp your blades are… your grandfather’s way is very effective! Thank you
YES ! That is the identical way Grandpa taught me as well. I am from Finland, but now live in Maine. I enjoy watching your Adventures. Good Luck to you and your family.
Good to see you out in the shed/tent taking time to recover and the big stuff can wait, thanks for showing us your grandfather's way to sharpen knifes and speedy recovery to you Lars
Glad you are feeling well, Lars. Don't feel like you have to produce content in these times. Only do so if you are up to it. We understand and only want you to be healthy! Spasiba!
I've been sick for the last couple of days, I have been sharpening all the knives I have to give myself something to do that takes the mind away from the fever. It's a perfect activity to do while wearing a thick blanket for warmth.
Good to see that you are back and you don't try to shave your arms with your woodsman's sharp blades. Useful tips, as so often from you. Wise lessons from grandfathers are not to be forgotten.
You are an Awesome Brother Lars, Tack så mycket, Old school tips are my FAVORITE and Classic History Lesson about your Grand Pa.... Legend...God Bless You and Your Ohana, You all INSPIRE many.. Aloha Friday to You and Yours... You made my day with your Humility and Awesomeness...From Särna Sweden with Love...
Lars earlier this year you helped me with getting a pair of skis and I just wanted to say I got them and thanks for all you do and your great videos! 🇨🇦 peace from Canada!
Only safe way to judge the sharpness and usefulness of an edge or a fishing hook as well. If you'll keep your hooks sharp, you'll catch more of the bigger fish and that's just how it works. I get done sharpening and both thumbnails are a disaster area.
Lars, do whatever it takes to get healthy. Don't take a chance of going to the woods and have a setback. Besides I needed this video. That is how my Grandpa taught me. I needed a refresher. Thank you
lookin good in that Silky beanie Sir and glad you're recovering! Thank you for such helpful information. I have always had trouble with finding the correct edge, consistently. I like the practice of finding where it "bites" the metal and going from there. So awesome.
I always appreciate your common sense approach to things Lars. I have a small bar of tungsten carbide that was my father’s from when he worked for Caterpillar Tractor Co. . Now I know what I can use it for. 👍
For me as an urban dweller who sharpens pocket and kitchen knives, I've come to love these triangle sharpeners (spyderco does the original, there's a cheap one by lanksy). It's not much slower than using a rod, actually. Love how a maintained knife is pretty much razor sharp in a few seconds with these. I only use a wet stone, when I have to repair damage these days. Get well soon! Take all the time you need!
I am very glad you are on the mend, I really enjoy your videos. I think the word for the area above the edge is called the shoulder. At least in my little part of the world.
I am happy you are doing better, and still throwing out content. Just please, make sure you are taking care of yourself and your family above all else! We love ya, just want you to be healthy. Especially with that Russian winter fast approaching.
I am a knife guy, and spend time sharpening and polishing the edge. I find it relaxing... however there are certain knives I do that with. My working knives and axes get a very similar sharpening to what you do. It doesn't matter how you do it as long as you get the result you're looking for.
Thanks for this Lars. I also learned from my Grandfather who was a machinist in a Steel Mill. I believe most people over think the whole knife-axe-tool sharpening thing. As you mentioned it can be a hobby to try to get the most crazy razor sharp polished edge, but that type of edge is not required for everyday use. Lonnie on Far North Bushcraft has also mentioned people tend to take their knives to a stone when all it needs is a rub or two on a strop or steel. The knife will last a lot longer. Cheers Mike.
Your videos are super educational. It's very helpful for me at least! Also replaying them really helps to put me to sleep at nights or evenings for some hours :)
@@reiki-guy3894 It's a compliment cause it calms me down with his beautiful nature shots! And I think he should focus more on them, I dont mind having long scenes of just different areas he is at for some minutes n hear him speak about something he recorded in home :)
@@sherbet9317 I hear you, and yes, watching videos that relax and chill us are brilliant my friend. If you feel stressed on a regular basis though, check out some of my playlists, as I'm sure there'll be lots of videos that make you feel peaceful 🙏 Take it easy my friend🙋🏻♂️🙏
Lars, can you sharpen an axe with a tank???? Lol. Maybe. Just kidding. We love your content. Over watching you for years, your content helped me most when the power went out, everything froze, and we kept warm and helped my neighbors. If I didn't have your information, we would have been bad off. It has been things that aren't shown in some survival books that mattered the most from your experiences. Thank you. We kept warm, and helped others. But we were prepared. GOD bless you and your family.!!!! 😁
Great knife sharping lesson. I use to be butcher. Same knife sharping lessons taught to me.wrap your butcher kitchen knives in saranwrap(foodwrap). It keeps the air off them.
Take care of yourself and family first. We fully understand your recovery process. Out of breath and tiredness is all part of the recovery. We'll always wait until you are healthy to produce you're always quality videos. We'll be here waiting for you, take care.
Good and practical info about sharpening. I sharpen my knives at home in peace, but I have Fällkniven DC4 always with me in the forest. It is just great piece of kit to carry with you!. And good to see you back on your feet. Take care and don't stress your self too much during your recovery :-)
That is a good philosophy for sharpness Lars, I'm using a very similar one myself but...I got to be able to sharpen my knives/axes quickly or I find that I won't do it when I should and the knife can quickly slide into the "non-safe" sharp category. I use a drill with a sanding plate with a combination of fine sanding discs and a homemade rough stroping wheel. I find it works well and it's very fast. I hand strop or, use a ceramic stone to finish. All my knives become convexed very quickly with this method.
Most important is to take the time to heal and get well. No need to stress yourself in making
hard core survival videos. I will keep watching Survival Russia !!
Nothing better than sharp tools, especially remembering your grandfather's style.
Good to see you looking fine. I mean well. I really meant well. Guys quit, I meant looking well. Hope the family is staying healthy.
Spasibo! We enjoy your uploads - prayers for your full recovery. It’s tempting to “do something awesome” …but we need you around! 😊
Hello from Oklahoma! Good Video!👍👍 neat trick! Thanks for all you do! God Bless!
It is great ,to see you up and around!Stay healthy, warm and get plenty of sleep 😴 💤!Drink , a lot of mrs.Russia , chicken noodles soup! 🍜 👍
I can't sleep much for some reason.

Thank you very much brother.
Yeah like a slight touch with his chisel took out ten times the wood if I hit my chisel with a sledgehammer
From what I've seen so far 31 lol
YES ! That is the identical way Grandpa taught me as well. I am from Finland, but now live in Maine. I enjoy watching your Adventures. Good Luck to you and your family.
Finland is awesome :) I like Finland.
SRK....Survival Russia Knife....that's awesome👍☺🌲
Always learning something.
That little yellow sharpening tool is just great, small enough to carry anywhere & really effective !
From hawaii with 🤙🏼!
Explaining where and how to catch the edge to start off is the missing link in 99% of youtube videos.
Thanks for the knowledge.
Aloha :)
Lars beats COVID and comes back in beast mode knocking out videos! Appreciate all of the effort 🙂
Good to see you out in the shed/tent taking time to recover and the big stuff can wait, thanks for showing us your grandfather's way to sharpen knifes and speedy recovery to you Lars
Thanks 👍
I've never had to sharpen a knife before but now I know what to do :). Thanks for sharing Lars can't wait to get out on more adventures.
Good to see you feeling better boss
Glad you are feeling well, Lars.
Don't feel like you have to produce content in these times. Only do so if you are up to it. We understand and only want you to be healthy!
Spasiba!
So glad you and your family is back to healthy and you are back to producing awesome content. 👏👏👏
Glad to see your family is on the mend.
Good plan, produce content, while healing and getting stronger..
Thanks for the clear demonstration, something I'll be able to apply to my knives.
Good to see you boss.you take care of yourself.
My husband taught me how to sharpen knives and this was the way his grandfather taught him. Pretty cool!
I've been sick for the last couple of days, I have been sharpening all the knives I have to give myself something to do that takes the mind away from the fever. It's a perfect activity to do while wearing a thick blanket for warmth.

.........as almost always.....................you`re right!!!
I'm glad you're recovering, and Thank You for the videos!
Good to see you moving around . . . with some light in your eyes.
Thanks for passing on your granddad's knowledge. Essential.
Any time!
Excellent way of sharping knives.
Brilliant video my friend, hope you are staying warm out there and much love
Glad you are feeling better, thanks for putting out another great video.

Awesome. Sharpening always seems to have mystery to it. But you have cleared all that up for me. Thanks, my brother.
Lars earlier this year you helped me with getting a pair of skis and I just wanted to say I got them and thanks for all you do and your great videos! 🇨🇦 peace from Canada!
No problem and thank you very much :)
Finally! Someone else that uses the thumbnail test!
Only safe way to judge the sharpness and usefulness of an edge or a fishing hook as well. If you'll keep your hooks sharp, you'll catch more of the bigger fish and that's just how it works. I get done sharpening and both thumbnails are a disaster area.
Good to see you on the mend Lar’s good health to you my friend
Glad to see you feeling better 👍
Thank you!
I been doing it wrong for years! Thanks Lars! Get better soon!!!🍺
Glad you are on the mend man. Great video as always. A sharp tool is essential to get the job done right.
Thanks Lars
You're welcome :)
Lars 👍 you're grandfather ways are all ways the best ,got video on the sharping the knifes 👍 and axes
Thank you lars great video. I hope your recovery is full and speedy 👍
Lars I've been a knifemaker for over forty years and what you say is good sound advice !
Lars, do whatever it takes to get healthy. Don't take a chance of going to the woods and have a setback. Besides I needed this video. That is how my Grandpa taught me. I needed a refresher. Thank you
I hope you're feeling much better Lars. Thank you for all you do!🎩☯️♠️
Thank You for good video. Great to see you getting better in health
Old school, this is how my grandfather was sharpening axes and scythe too. Stay strong mate!
Thank you for sharing your adventure!

Outstanding. Great tips and content. Hope to vacation up that way someday
I was taught the nail test by my dad. No machines here either, all stones, ceramic and steels. Thanks, Grizz 🐻
Thoroughly enjoyed your video Lars
Great Demonstration !!

Your videos are super educational. It's very helpful for me at least!

When I was planing hard wood on a house frame, I sharpened the blade with a belt sander ;)
Thanks for the Great Video was super awesome!!!
Right !!!
I've been using that Worksharp field sharpener for six years now, and never bothered getting anything else.👍
It's a handy little guy. I even used it once for touching up a drill bit. Saved my day :)
Thought you might have the ninja in costumes 😉
Glad you are back.
Good to see you again! Get well, ok?
Excellent! Thank you.
That is exactly how my grampa showed me how to sharpen a nife.nice video
Prayers For You and Your Family . You have a Friend Here in Pennsylvania 👍
Awesome thank you!

It's a great sharpener for sure. Cutting tools should generally be maintained at home I agree. Thank you!
