    Guys, I’ve had a long and painful conversation with Maarten about cutting him off every 3 seconds. Sadly my salary will now be cut in half and Maarten got a promotion. We are still friends at the moment but I do have to live in his basement bound to a chain for the coming month only being allowed to eat his poopoo. I’m legally obliged to not only say sorry to Maarten, but also say sorry to you!
    These are hard times but we will pull through. Luckily we are selling new cuty small strops that can act as earplugs for Mikkie’s voice!! Dbkshop.com! 🤝

    On that Ka-Bar USMC, I'm a US Army vet. I never carried the Ka-Bar. It is, and always has been, a garbage knife. Most of us carried multi-tools like the Leatherman or relatively inexpensive folders like the CRKT M-16. The ones who went fixed blade carried ones from Buck or SOG. These days I go higher end and carry Spyderco, Benchmade, Giant Mouse, MKM, etc but the primary blades I carried in the Army were Leatherman and Gerber multi-tools. Granted, I was air defense artillery and if I was in hand-to-hand something had gone very wrong. I needed the pry tools and screwdrivers far more often than I needed a cutting edge.

    When I was in a particular unit, our tasks were primarily forced entry and arrest of dangerous criminals. Sometimes against barricaded strongholds. We had many types of tools for that, manual tools like sledgehammers, axes, bars etc…plus specialised explosives to achieve fast entry and defeat of barricades/structures. As part of personal kit, every operator had a fixed blade. Not primarily for combat, but more for its use as an entry tool. A knife is a Basic Tool…it has attributes that can NOT be replicated by any other tool. I can expand and give specifics if you wish. The point is that it is necessary and in moments of need it is essential and irreplaceable by any other tool. Fast cutting ability, strength, reliability, ease of sharpening, edge retention, size, and economic reality all are factors for selecting an issue fixed blade for the task. I had my own, by choice, but the issue knife was the Glock with hard scabbard. It was ok, but not my choice. I didn’t know a lot about knives, but over the years I used a Kershaw flat grind, then a Cold Steel San Mai Tanto, and finally a Randall number 1, seven inch blade. Ka Bar for my bush kit. Everyone has their favourites, everyone has their own experiences. No knife is perfect, but you do need a knife for specific tasks. A moderate quality knife is better than none.
    I love your channel because you test them in ways that make sense to me, and I can’t test so many knives as you do. Your channel has value, and I love what you do.

    • @joeschmoe3815
      @joeschmoe3815 Před 7 měsíci

      Well, as you surely know, the Glock Feldmesser M78 is more of a bayonet than a fighting knife (like the Ka-Bar type). It can also be afixed to the Stg77 as one.
      I think it's only really useful for bushcraft when ground flat....otherwise it's a crowbar.
      May I ask you about your opinions on the Extrema Ratio knives? Have you ever handeld one of these during your duty?

    "The right tool for the right job" is a workshop rule, where I can store 50 specific tools for specific tasks. An outdoor or EDC knife is a multi purpose tool. It will never be ideal for a task, but can do multiple tasks with at least 80% quality so that I don't have to carry around multiple tools.
    Batoning, for example, is the the "little brother" of chopping or splitting wood with an axe, so the initial idea behind it is NOT to use the right tool.
    I totally agree with you.

      The problem is that it's a personal choice to only have a knife on you, and I say the choice to only have a knife on you is an extremely foolish one.
      Can you name a single scenario where one can end up in a wilderness survival situation with a knife but somehow not be able to also have a hatchet and folding saw on you ?
      There's not too many ways a person can accidentally end up stuck in the wilderness, much less with just a knife unless they chose to have nothing but a knife with them.

      Tourists get lost all the time when exploring new places. Plenty of places and trails also frown on bringing axes, saws, machetes etc... As they don't want you chopping on stuff. And normies are easily scared by people they see out carrying large edged tools that they see as weapons.
      Being unable to imagine people go outside without an axe always with them, ...is strange. Most don't bother if they have no reason to expect to need an axe. Especially when they know their knife can do the job.

      You have to consider hunters. I carry just what I sensibly need for survival due to the expectation of hauling animals out. Hunters are the original minimalists. Even now I sometimes have to move my equipment a distance ahead and then drag the animal(s) there. Just to give you all a laugh, I learned this the hard way as a kid by rabbit hunting with a fully loaded backpack. 😂

      @@chriskourliourod1651 you also gotta consider the options that are out there and remember that 1.25lb while most common is not minimum head weight available in hatchets.
      There are small hunters / trappers/ bag / pack axes with heads between 8-16oz that are quite efficient little tools and aren't a heavy bulky burden to carry.
      It's personal preference and opinion I know, but those in the bashing on knives camp like to write Axes or hatchets off as too bulky / heavy to carry without exploring the options that aren't.
      All I'm saying I here is there's an axe or hatchet for every situation/use and you can't act like needing to bash on a knife isn't by choice when there are suitable alternatives out there.
      Do things your way, but he honest that it's a choice not a necessity.
      I've had 4 of the little 8oz Vaughan super sportsman hatchets ( I currently have 3 ) among other smalls in the 1lb head range, the Vaughans fit in my pocket my tackle box or carry easily on my belt.
      They weigh hardly nothing, are great efficient little tools, and no matter what I'd be doing in the outdoors I can have one on me along with a modestly sized belt knife that favors cutting performance ( ie not a sharpened pry bar ).

    Thank you for validating my esteem of Busse knives in INFI steel. If I lose all of my other knives, I would want my Busse knife to be my last remaining knife.
    But in reality, I hope to also have several other knives of various sizes and shapes. Like a filet knife, a skinner knife, a bayonet for mountain lion or wild boar defense, a multi tool knife, a small, lightweight knife that is begging to be part of my smallest survival kit, and a dedicated Bushcraft knife that is fully intended to be disrespected just like it's owner. And that short list could be expanded.
    That's all for extreme long-term survival concerns. For backpacking you also have to consider the "Go Light" mantra that narrows your choices considerably.

You guys find that limit which means we won't end up in a survival situation with a knife that can't handle the abuse that *may* be necessary.

I hike & camp regularly & out bush it's all about fixed blades. We should remember that quotes & sayings are very generalised & don't bear close scrutiny. Picking the right blade for the job is important; but you don't know it's the right blade until you put it to the test to find out what it can do!! Guys - don't change & keep up the fixed blade love.

    @knownaigm Před 8 měsíci +4

    I'm a "right tool for the right job" type but I also think of it more in terms of "know the strengths and weaknesses of your tools". It's ok to want a small belt knife for camping or "bushcrafting" and it's also ok to want a big knife for that... you just need to be aware of the strengths and drawbacks of those and choose which you prefer. One is likely going to suffer a bit in the strength department and the other will suffer a bit in the fine-tasks department. Both CAN do both jobs for the most part, just in different ways and finding different workarounds. I think that is why it is good to practice bushcraft and outdoor skills with different tools so you can have different options when you need them. That is also why it is great to have channels like DBK to test and maybe find the strengths and weaknesses and limits of different knives.

    Folding saw and fulltang knife is a much better combo in terms of safety when you spend time outdoors with kids. Bahco laplander + hultafors or mora robust is cheap and effective, my choice for adolescents, never regret it.

      Mora is an incredible amount of performance for the price. You could carry ten of them for what some people are spending on individual knives.

    Great video guys! It's so fun to try and find the perfect knife, but I agree with the sentiment that whatever knife you have on you is what will have to work. I carry a Leatherman in my EDC for that reason! I feel very inspired by the people on Alone and of course Les Stroud. But I love my woods knives anytime I'm outside I like to carry my precious fixed blades.

    I have slowly built quite a knife collection that includes custom knifes.
    My goal was to have the ideal tool for the job. And also to make one that is ideal for most jobs.
    But despite what I dislike about the mora 511, It's somehow the best I can find whenever I need one unscheduled.
    That lead me to get so used to it, that I end up using it even when I am at home where my better ones are.
    So maybe there is no best knife, just the one that haunts you most until it lives in your mind.

    Thank you for the extra long video 😊. For the price of most Benchmades I can get a Survive fixed blade. Right now they have 4 inch blade edc 4 sabre grind or ffg 4 for $239 to mail out within 2 weeks. I have waited for over a year for some but they also have some ghat will mail out fairly quickly. I do edc folders (no limit to size in my state) but feel better with a fixed blade.

    Thank God for you guys having the guts for doing the testing. If it wasn't for guys like you we wouldn't even know the capabilities of most of our knives. This is something we may carry every day or may buy as an envestment or to pass on down to family for generations, and to not even know the capabilities of the knives you choose... that just seems assonine.

      The Bugout is like a modern Opinel, with a slim slim blade and being super light Weight, but with the modern benefits of a pocket clip, one hand open and close, and a much better steel.
      It's like the modern Slipjoint folder too, same slim slim blade for cutting but with much better features

    This was so good on so many levels. But I agree we just love knives and using different knives just to see how they perform is a real joy but there is still something more to it that has no real explanation. That's when I think of the famous Bob Loveless quote: "When a man picks up a knife, there's an old memory from the collective unconscious that surfaces. A knife is an atavistic experience. It was [one of] man's first tool and weapon. Man was chipping flint into cutting edges before he invented the wheel. No matter how sophisticated we become, a knife takes us back to the cave."

    On topic of gear taken into woods or kept in trunk, I find a small knife and a good machete covers about every need without being over heavy. Small knife does accuracy and machete taking thinner branches or breaking approx arm thick logs via baton. Naturally if you like axes (which i do) can definitely be part of regular gear but even with axes there is design choices that affect what it does well so compromises and "misuse" will be done
