Our experts

we ourselves vs we, ourselves,

Both "we ourselves" and "we, ourselves," are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "We ourselves" is used when emphasizing that we are doing something personally, while "we, ourselves," is used when adding an extra emphasis on the subject. The comma in the second phrase sets off "ourselves" for additional emphasis.
