Hi friends, I realize some of these may be controversial, and to not give into the h8ers. If you are interested in what i'm filming with, reach out to me on instagram alexgarland_outdoors55 and Ill tell you (this will make more sense after you watch the video). Anyway, thanks for all the support over the years, I hope to see some of you there!
I'm soooo curious
Bro why do you even care ???
Who thinks what who says what is waste of nerves.
Stop doing this justification after justification WHO CARES ?!
UR BRO IS SHOOTING THE VIDS OK ? HE IS A MILLIONAIRE 🤣
There ! Done.
Not sure I understand your comment?
@@OUTDOORS55 I had to read it like 3 times and still don't understand.
@@OUTDOORS55 Well Im not English speaking person and I tried to write what I'm thinking about every chapter/part of your video as I was listening I was writing.
But you are over thinking let's say was my point.
You or anyone else who expose themselves online will have haters trolls and everything in between. I belong to the ones who respected the way you you were teaching me / everyone and I cannot stand here looking at you in this period of your life without giving you support. Since I am from the Balkan and we act differently than you guys from USA p.c. etc I tried to tell you straight not to give a f@k who says what.
For example about the cameras equipment I will say im into knife making my bro is into photography and he record the videos I feel like I owe you no answer what equipment was used nor I know ... I went on too long again sorry . As your brain is trying to understand what is looking at you will be able unable to to understand me again... Maybe it will help you if I write this :
I meant no harm or to offend you !
Can't wait to see you hiking and being happy in the forest / nature.
GOOD luck
i literally do not understand how anyone interestered in blades can not like you or your videos...
you have led my sharpening skills from what used to impress friends and family, to what amazes freinds and family. thank you so much!
please get better, you are in my prayers
Can’t agree more man! Just know when you’re getting flak, it means you’re over the target! Keep up the good work!
I can't imagine you having "haters." I see you as a "down-to-Earth," straight forward guy. You are responsible for introducing me to sharpening on bench stones. Wish you the very best with your medical challenges.
Thanks my friend 🙏
The haters are those he proved wrong. A lot of people who have used steel rod to hone their knives for ages are probably not too happy with him.
Pull-through sharpeners.. honing rods.. yet only if they would try these better methods they'd see their faults. Science of sharp did a scanning electron microscopy on honing and basically it creates a microbevel of abraded steel.@@SteelHex
Don't feel bad about the sponsorship money you turned down. Self respect and clean conscience is worth more than all of that as I'm sure you agree. I have also stopped watching several channels due to that sort of content. I don't want to risk getting tricked into spending money on something I shouldn't. I think you are making a smart choice.
OTOH is totally possible to have integrity and still get money. Just turn down the money that wants you to lie or bend the truth in any way.
Totally agree!💚🤘
Kudos to you for being HONEST. Thanks.
I hope you can resolve whatever is going on with you. I've had something for 16 years now (I'm 55)... still no doctor has figured much out in my case. I have found a few things - don't get heavy (it KILLS), don't get negative, and keep your friends and family.
Amazon I believe does dynamic pricing. If they see it's selling hot they will raise the price on some items
They sure do. And it always goes up after a good video like this one!
It went up even before the video was posted 😆
Airlines do the same thing - the more clicks on a particular flight, the higher the price creeps up.
@OUTDOORS55 well there goes my theory.
That is because *the algorithm* is reading your mind Alex 😢@@OUTDOORS55
I'm pretty dang sure that they keep watch on your (and everyone else's) activity and ajust everything accordingly. Prizing, exposure. Getting an influencer to make a positive review if they know yours will be negative.
I never heard or even thought of "that" purpose for music in these videos! Very smart move. Generally, I dislike a lot of distracting background "noise" that interferes with my diminished hearing, but as long as it's not too loud, and captions are available, I'm fine with it. Even more fine now that I understand the justification for it.
The cause for being forced acting like that is absolutely sad!
It shows perfectly how some human beings have no conscience stealing the hard work of others to make money without doing much by their self!
Greetings from Germany💚🤘
@@zennez1985Sadly, most "AmeriKans" now.
Glad to see the power of Friendship is helping you get better.
Please do a video for sharpening chef knifes . Maybe we don’t need to split hairs but we do need long lasting sharpness.
The striping compound you recommend is about $50 and out of stock . Do you have another recommendation ?
Get well soon ! Have fun at the show !
Yes! I'd love a video on this! Great suggestion.
Also, cutting boards. I have plastic ones, most common are wooden ones, my parents have a glass one. The blade WILL rub on that when you cut in a frequent matter. Does this play into losing sharpness?
@@MarioStoilov93 Never use a hard cutting board, it'll turn the edge over as fast as you can say knife.
@@CrimeVid I would say the cutting board material depends on the hardness of your knives. Japanese knives are usually harder and do fine on some harder wooden cutting boards. Western knives tend to be softer and need a softer wood. It about the balance of buying a board that won't damage your knives but also making sure the board is hard enough to take minimal damage from the knife.
@@MemeScreen A silly thing to say, Hard is hard, the glass cutting board mentioned, will be way harder than the edge of a kitchen knife, wood is not, although wood with a lot of silicates might not be a good idea. I have not heard of anybody using ironwood to make cutting boards.
I’ve purchased a few bark river knives recently and would love to see you do a tutorial on sharpening a convex grind. Thanks
Every single time anything is reviewed positively by a beloved outlet, one of two things happens: the price increases, or the quality goes down within 1 year. I have seen it again and again with channels like America's Test Kitchen and Project Farm. So many products either increase in price, or if you look a year or two after, you will find newer reviews saying that the product they're selling now is different (cheaper) than what was previously sold in some way.
Great point. I agree. Its ever evolving👍
I think it was this channel (?) that had something like "If the price rises, it's worth it until $x, when this other one gets more competitive" and I really appreciate that.
But yeah, unfortunately simply any rise in demand makes it very natural for the manufacturer to do one of two things, each corresponding to what you mentioned. Either they just push up the price per unit because the new demand puts max profit at a higher price, or they can try to increase production volume. And you'll always get growing pains with the latter (new people, new methods, etc), causing quality to decline.
@@AySz88 I think that it goes beyond simple increasing of production volume. Some of these downgrades are dramatic. I think they see an opportunity to achieve larger margins on a product that is moving well and act quickly to swap out the product. For example, there's a tape measure Project Farm really liked, the Craftsman PROREACH, that about a year after the video was replaced at the same listing with one made in a different country (Thailand instead of USA, despite the product page and the casing of the tape measure still proudly proclaiming it was made in the USA) and with an entirely different (and far worse) tape than the original one. Their Amazon page is still like this now; it says made in the USA and has pictures with the old tape, but you can find reviews showing that it's made in Thailand and with the inferior tape.
Part of me thinks that some of these must be coincidences; that plans to change production had already been made regardless of the units being sold. Certainly if changes happen only within weeks or a few months this would have to be the case. But it happens so often that I can't help but think it's intentional at least some of the time.
It's a normal process. When a review creates extra demand the price naturally goes up (for a while). Some companies then try and add production capacity in a hurry. Maybe they hire a new factory, use bigger/different machines or start sourcing material form a different supplier. All great in theory when it's done well and thoroughly. Unfortunately, it's not always the case and that is when quality goes to shit.
@@dekjet Yeah, but it makes things a constant back and forth game between companies, reviewers, and consumers. No good product at a good price can ever exist; when one is found, it doesn't just go back to equilibrium on the price/quality scale, it usually becomes far more expensive than it is actually worth, or the review is immediately outdated and misleading because the product quality goes to shit to increase margins. I am really sick and tired of it.
I hope you get a diagnosis soon. Neurological issues are difficult, but it's better to know than always wondering.
I love your channel.
keep doing what you are doing, there is literally no reason to apologize or change. keep your head up high, you are doing good man. dont let them get to your head.
Reddit sharpening chans are insane. I've been in a few, advices are average at best and if you disgree with them, they go nuts... You're not the first to have suffer from them.
Keep up the great work, hope your health gets even better :)
Reddit is where reality goes to die. It naturally values toxic conformance over true refutation.
reddit is a liberal cesspool echo chamber
I fight that fight everyday
@@victorfranca17 I gave up when i got ganged up for not advising the Shapton Kuromaku to someone (They are great choices but he had a very low budget and KING 1000 was imo a better choice).
@@louis2p Try talking about flatness... and how you cant eye ball it. Im pretty sure its a bunch of marketing shills. Theres only one moderator on r/sharpening. I clearly should be one, since im there all the time. But nooo. I would not do it anyway. Not power hungry. I moderate with sheer power of will and clever insults (clever imo)
Glad you are trending up ! Hoping for ypur complete recovery. Glad you are going to Blade show. Last year was my first time. Got a better handle on what I want to do there. Hope I see you !
I hope so too!👍
Alex, I’ve been a lurker for years and I know you wouldn’t be here if you weren’t sincere. No need to explain yourself. Forget the haters. 😊
Thanks for lurking 😂👍 Always appreciate hearing from you. I just like to be as transparent as possible. 🙂
Amazon is just a bunch of resellers, especially non brand stuff that is imported.
So when demand spikes they will automatically adjust the prices up.
Yup, I use a site called CamelCamelCamel. They truck amazon pricing history and will even alert you when the price drops on something you are following. I do this all the time when I build computers, I buy the pieces at a time because how volatile computer component prices can change.
A positive mental state can make a big difference.
Absolutely 👍
So glad you're on the upswing! Your videos are fun, edu-muh-cational,
and often times the high point of my day. Thanks for what you are doing.
How's the house going? I really enjoyed the renovation content awhile back.
I've been interested in knife sharpening for a long time and also have good equipment. But your tips made me reach a different (Higher) level. Greetings from Germany!
Hey. New to the channel. Hope they figure out your health issues quickly and get you back on the right track. There are always going to be haters. You just gotta keep ignoring them. They are noise after all. Keep up the good work. I bought a product based on one of your reviews and it was spot on. Thank you!
Awesome to hear! And Thanks for stopping by, and words of encouragement. I really appreciate the support my friend 🙏👊
Video idea: sharpening serrated knives or even other things like scissors, axes, etc.
👊👊👊
I came for some knife and sharpening content and left with some facts and sincere honesty. I only became interested in your subject around a year ago and stayed in part due to your content and production. Long may this continue Alex.
Let's Go! Take it up a notch brother... You deserve it and the content is solid. Thx for all the insights and lessons!
Man, it must be a great event, I'd love to see some videos from it!
Also, love your consistency with these disclaimers, it might get repetitive but it's necessary, especially while testing and as a tech uni major I can tell that your approach is appropriate.
Good luck with your ilness and wish you a quick recovery!
Sending good vibes your way man. Over the weekend, I taught my 19 year old son how to sharpen his Leatherman Wave with the Kuromaku pro 320 and 1000. The first thing I had him do was watch your "How to Sharpen A Knife in Real Time" video.
Love this kind of content and your honesty. Been watching your channel for awhile now and recommend you to all my knife friends. Keep up the open, honest discussions and Q&A videos. Love this and glad your health has been on the up lately. Continued prayers coming your way.
You are so likable. I hope you have a great relationship with God. He will help.
Hang in There and continue to Improve!
Having followed and watched for so long I completely forget that you’ve grown to well over 300k subscribers and that you probably have many many brands reaching out trying to get you to push their product. That said, I think part of the reason I forget how big the channel has actually gotten is because you haven’t “sold out” and went down the road that almost all the others do.
Also I’m so glad to see that your health is trending upward! When I saw that first post on IG from the hospital it genuinely bummed me out with overwhelming sadness. In hindsight it almost felt selfish but I only consistently watch a few knife/sharpening channels and I truly didn’t want to see you go out like that. So again I’m so happy for you to be able to get back into a groove relatively quickly! Keep on keepin on my friend!
I aint going that easy!!! But I agree it hit me in the face like a freight train. A reality check to remind me my time here is limited. Its honestly changed how I view things. One day everything's normal, the next you can't walk. Gotta live everyday! Thanks for the continued support my friend, I really appreciate it🙏🙏
Great to see you posting again and even better to hear you are on the mend! Keep going, thank you
Alex, your review of the Sharpal Diamond stone was spot on. I had purchased some DMT diamond stones and they were all polluted with larger grit diamonds. I figured that was the way it was, but the Sharpal was a winner! Thank you! And I wish you the best of health. Take care!
I have had good luck with Ezi-Lap.
Glad you are feeling better and trending in the right direction. Not gonna lie, as soon as you told us about your health, I couldn’t help but to think it had to do with metal in your system. I hope all goes well and they figure out what’s going on. God bless you!
Lets be honest I've never been mentally right 😂 Thanks my friend really appreciate it👊
Alex, you're beyond reproach and that's one of the reasons why everyone loves you and your content. Hope you get your health issue figured out and fixed for good. Big fan of your content. Keep up the great work!
Thanks! Really appreciate the support and also thanks for watching! I really appreciate it🙏👊
yes, you are trending up :) It even shows in your face! When you were doing worse, it was really obvious in your face, but I didn't want to say something at the time. Now that you look better, I do feel the need to compliment you on the improvements!
Glad to hear you feel better at the moment👍
Thank you for not selling crap on every video.. a lot of content creators are just shills, especially when then get a lot of subs.
I really wanted to attend the Atlanta blade show and i'd love to be able to meet you. My wife and I just bought a new house and are moving into it Memorial weekend. I just won't be able to break away this year. Hope you have a great time, and I'm still praying for your health and positive answers and a positive outcome!
I hope you get better soon, best wishes.
Thank you for the update on your health. So glad to hear you are trending up. Please keep us updated. We definitely care and want to know.
Hope you keep well, I know from my experience how a small thing can totally change your life.. 2018 a small cat scratch turned into 10 days in a coma & 2 more months in hospital.. and still recovering
Dang!!
Wish I could meet you there. Glad you are feeling better and hope the docs figure it out soon.
I saw a clip of an interview recently given by Tom Hanks about the dire straits that Hollywood has found itself in after COVID, the strikes, etc. He called out RUclips as giving the film industry a run for its money. Part of that is the cost structure, but what I think is more important is the relationship that develops between so many creators and their subs. I'm so happy to hear how much encouragement you have received, and how it has positively impacted your health. Also love your transparency. It's odd that RUclips fosters relationships in unexpected ways.
Absolutely I completely agree! The COMMUNITY is what's missing from the mainstream. Thats the most important part. Also remember mainstream was forced entertainment for so long. RUclips is chosen. So the audience is much more valuable in my opinion. Again thats the community aspect that makes it so powerful. Thanks for the comment my friend 👍
This is really the only channel that I trust when it comes to recommendations. There are a bunch of channels who get knives shipped to them from the manufacturer/importer and they do unboxings. I don't watch those channels. They're generally tedious as hell anyway. It's like watching QVC for knife nerds.
I'm curious as to where the haters hang out. I've never seen anything but praise for your channel.
Forums 😂😂
Thanks for all the great work you do . Helping those who can't afford to purchase every new product that
comes along.
I hope you get past all your health issues and return to full health.
Keep your head up and looking forward to the future.
Alex! I appreciate and respect that you are a man of integrity. I hope everything goes well for the Blade Show and that your health continues to improve. Just FYI, I ordered (through your link) the 2-sided Sharpal stone you recommended. It arrived yesterday, and I am impressed already. This thing is a beast! Thanks for the honest review!
Awesome great to hear👍👍 And thanks! Really appreciate it👊
Glad you're feeling better. You're looking much better. Hell. Yeah.
👊👊👊
Best of luck to you Brother ... Go Well 👍👍👍
Glad you're doing better. Hope you're even better soon.
It's because of you that I finally picked up the Sharpal months ago and fairly easily sharpened my knife now I always have a sharp knife and it's been great.
It is a blight on us that you need to explain yourself like we are children.
Always found your vids stand up. All the best with your health
Prepare to be overwhelmed!! I went in 2022 and it was just massive!!! Have fun, and get better soon!!!
Man!!!!! I feel bad you have to apologize for nothing. I can tell you're a good dude with amazing talent. You're going to get through this health situation and be on your way. Remember the ones being negative and spewing hate would be the first to sell out if they had your position. Bunch of sad hypocrites!! Stay true we're counting on you! God bless 🙌
Amazon prices fluctuate all the time, and I can imagine a company who sees their product recommended on a popular RUclips channel would try to get out ahead of the increased demand.
I had the opposite experience, though. I went to buy a sharpening stone you recommended last year and saw that the price had actually dropped a bit. Pleasant surprise!
Glad to hear your doing better
Health issues suck! In 2017 I was diagnosed with MS. It took 9 doctors to get that diagnosis, though. Most of them were VA doctors, though. My balance went to hell, my coordination went too, I couldn't walk and talk at the same time, my legs went mostly numb, and I would sleep for 10 hours, wake up, and an hour later feel like I hadn't slept in days! It was really awful not knowing what was going on! I feel for you, and hope you get there!
Man im sorry! I could be heading that direction but not that serious yet. Time will tell. Thanks for sharing. I hope you have found a way to deal with the symptoms. 🙏🙏🙏
@OUTDOORS55 thank you, diet, rest, and exercise have made the most difference. I hope that you can track down what's going on with your body. Just keep in mind, no matter how bleak things seem to get, a) it can always get worse, and b) there are people willing to drop everything and help you.
I wanted to buy sharpening stones for about a decade and couldn't decide how to start. Your videos finished the decade long stuck state. I got the two-sided Sharpal diamond stone and a strop with diamond compound. Sharpening starts tonight. :) Thank you. I'm grateful for you doing the thinking for me and recommending a simple system instead of water stones.
I checked the Sharpal diamond stone under my workplace Zeiss microscope. Wow, the uniformity is unbelievable.
Slightly disappointed that I got here before that video and got a DMT coarse.. but really, it's not that bad, still a good stone that he used for years. World's better than the king or no-name stones I was using
For the less scrupulous ads you’re turning down….we talking 6 figures a year? I mean, in the end, what’s your integrity worth?
Good on you for knowing the answer to that question is, “More than you can afford.”
Keep being awesome.
Cheers!
Yes well into the six figure range 🤢 Its insane
Love your channel! Started doing knife sharpening because of your channel; you are seriously so helpful thank you so much!
Thank you for making videos.
The advice you give is excellent and you deliver it perfectly.
You're upholding your honor, my friend. You're a treasure. Please stay healthy. :)
Hey man, I'm on board for your videos going forward no matter what with all the other stuff. I hope your health turns out to be a trivial issue. I always look forward to your videos, keep up the great content my man! 😃 And I love the music, you should absolutely keep it where you want, that's your creative decision!
Thanks my friend! Always appreciate the support 🙏
I was raised to not say anything bad about someone unless their actions were intended to cause harm. You don't qualify. You're a polite, considerate, intelligent, knowledgeable guy with cool channel full of useful information. Haters? How could a reasonable person hate Alex? They must be jealous, envious,or uneducated.
Haha I don't mind. Gives me more video ideas 😆
I enjoy whenever you mock hating or silly critique. "It doesn't DO anything" 🤣
Appreciate the video. Sucks you still don’t know what’s goin on health wise. Hope the docs figure it out sooner than later. Prayin for yall brother!
God bless~
High respect for your honesty and integrity! Glad to hear your health is continuing to improve! I am hoping you can do videos in the future on sharpening different blade shapes and lengths, like kukri blades, karambits, etc... Thank you for all your priceless knowledge sharing.
The reason why I come back to your channel is your honesty and transparency. Keep up your great work 👍
Love that you're working on the website. I remember going to it after watching your videos and doing a double-take because it seemed like the high quality videos didn't match up with the website (seemed clunky). No offense! I still got a lot of good information out of your website. While on it, I just thought "this could be so much better".
Glad your health is on the upward trend and hope you get answers to what's going on soon! Thank you for all the hard work you do for all of us.
Wishing you well. His is my favorite sharpening channel.
It’s great to hear that your health is on a positive trend. Wish you the best from Toulouse, France.
É bom ver o teu positivismo e saúde estão a melhorar!!!!!!
🙏🙏
Thanks for the updates! Keep on doing you my friend, the rest will take care of itself. All the best to you and all future ventures. God bless you! ♥️🙏🏼
That's why I like channel such as yours, wish you good recovery my friend.
Will looks like i have missed out on the medical info will go back to see what your issues are .
I'm still running with the Shapton set and they are amazing!
I used mine yesterday 👍
Luv your channel I have learned a lot. I hope your health improves!
I bought the sharpal stone based on your recommendation and i have to say its a very nice product. I have water stones and the worksharp travel sharpener. I definitely feel like ill never have to buy another stone again unless i lose one. The worksharp is amazing value for the $ but its small and can be somewhat dangerous to sharpen larger knives. The sharpal makes it stupidly easy to sharpen large knives. I will finish them off after the sharpal on the worksharp and i get a very sharp and honed knive that will shave slice and chop just about anything i need.
Good to hear👍
The 156N double sided diamond stone? I ordered one a week ago and it got delayed. Can't hardly wait. They were on sale for $45 vs 67. Had to get that. And with the leftover cash I got a Sharpal strop and a 5-micron diamond goo syringe. My knife block is giving me nervous looks.
I also got a magnetic spirit level thingy that has terrible accuracy but is super easy to set accurately with the Sharpal angle pyramid widget that came with the strop, so together they should make keeping an angle a lot easier.
Best wishes for you. Always look forward to your videos / content. 👍🍻
Good video! Continued prayers for your improvement/recovery
Stay humble, stay honest, get better and keep it up! We appreciate what you do, don’t let haters get to you (easy said from my position, I just enjoy your videos and I’m not really “in the know” on the whole blade scene).
hope you get well soon
I really love your videos. For me you are the best Video creator (for knife/sharpening related stuff) out there. And there is a big gap to the second place!
You are the only one which i personally really like. Keep it up man!
Because of searching for a diagnosis from your illness. I have been trying to get a diagnosis for over 10 years now. With genetic testing and so on. It looks like mine is so rare that it's really difficult to find. So telling the world what it is, if ever found, is really important i think. Maybe it will help someone. If it helps only one, it's a big thing!!
Greetings from Germany and all the best to you! Jens
Always enjoyed your channel.. I WISH I could try to come and meet you.. but alas.. work.. etc.. Glad your health is your improving. You, Neeves Knives, and Sam Houston at Big Brown Bear have helped me gain freehand sharpening skills.. its an adventure...and I enjoy it
All great resources 👍
Check out Michael Christy too.
Glad your health is improving 💪
That's the most hilarious use of copyright strikes I've ever heard. Good on you fighting fire with lawyers
It's the automation that's cool. The music copyright protection business is so big you can just piggyback on the web-spidering and recognition systems that were created to chase down violators for billion-dollar artists. I feel like that should be almost trivial to repurpose for any recorded content including podcasts and videos without music. But RUclips ain't that smart.
Don't worry about the trolls & haters. They are just that, haters. Jealousy is such a bitch. Just keep doing what you're doing!
Praying for you and your health.
Love your videos so much. So very helpful and sincerely wish your health improves with a positive diagnosis.
do a sharpening myth video! like trying survival hacks like the ceramic mug trick, river rocks, car windows, random hardened steels, or cheap compounds on cardbored, basically sharpening with everything but a stone and finding out if in a pinch they really work
Love seeing two YT guys collaborate. Plus thanks I can sharpen now, free hand!
Glad you’re doing better, Alex. Your music choices and timing alone quite often make me laugh, let alone the skits!
You are such a cool guy! And I have zero trust issue about what you are speaking & showing here! I would really appreciate if there would be much more people like you on our planet! Sadly I found your channel just a few days ago. BUT in this little time, I already learned a lot!
Hope you´re doing well & all the best wishes for future!
Keep on going!
Greetings from Germany💚🤘
IMO You are the go to guy for all things knife sharpening. You give straight up info backed by incredible visuals that prove what you're saying. My sharpening equipment and my results have improved dramatically since I found your RUclips channel. Wishing you all the best with your health and keep on doing what you're doing. It's very helpful!
Hi, i had a question about of the sharpal diamond stone. ( I bought it and everything i perdectly fine)...
BUT how do you clean it properly i followed the instructions, but it nevergets clean CLEAN
Every time you say "Members Only", it makes me think of the leather jackets from the '80s 😊
I appreciate your content.
At 9:17 I was expecting the Millennium Falcon to fly past the screen here. Perhaps you could do this in some of your future post-editing?
Haha! 👍
Good to know your health is geting better.
... I like the music in your videos.
Really appreciate you being transparent about all of this. Glad you're feeling better, you definitely look like you are
Glad your health is getting better. God bless
Glad you are improving! I really like your videos. I put my first razor edge on a knife freehand today thanks to you and your instruction. Best wishes.
Glad to hear that you are feeling better.
