#1 for me is probably: People who think *all* knives are *only* scary weapons.
+Bastian very common misconception indeed
funny bcuz most knife attacks happen with kitchen knives
Knives pop bubbles...whiny libs hate sharp edges....ARE YOU SAFE???
In other words, most politicians in the Western World
That’s why my mom won’t let me have a bark river gunny.
“This is why my family hates you” is a line I’ve heard in my life. Feels.
Who could hate Mikkie though?
@@coryames1170 the family 😅
Biggest thing people get wrong about knives is that they are weapons, it’s not a weapon it’s a damn tool.
+Michael Weston definitely agree Michael!
It can be a tool to kill someone...
So its both
Like a hammer right? A hammer is a weapon too? And a broom handle? And a sickle? All weapons right?
You demonstrated another annoying misconception. You are confusing two definitions of weapons - weapons conextually, as in "this icecicle is the murder weapon" - and weapons as objects, as in "A longsword is a weapon". In the first definition, knives are weapons, but then, everything is a weapon, including a brick, branch, keys, pillow etc. In the second definition, knives are like hammers, they are tools, which are better than most tools as weapons according to the first definition. But so are showels... So yeah.
It depends, I got a Kabar Fighter and that thing would be a horrible tool, it's 8 inches, too thin, rat tail Tang, but it would be great for a fight because the 8 inch blade and large hand guard
Even a dildo can be used as a weapon.
With batoning, I think people initially think that it's the beating action that's hard on the knife. Hitting the blade's spine with a wood baton isn't that damaging to the knife, except perhaps to the pivot of a folder. The damaging stresses are in how the grain of the wood can impart serious twisting and shearing forces to the blade. You can baton hard on a thin-ish knife blade to crosscut wood grain with little risk of cracking the blade. . Drive that same blade to rip along the grain in oak, and see how a thin blade can really sharply distort as it approaches a knot in oak. That's the thing that cracks a good blade.
Agreed!
DBK has made thursday the best day of the week for sure!
Jacob Grierson yea while im at work i wait for the notification and then i go take my break to watch them
XeroFailGames then once it's over you have to wait another 7 days for the next one haha
You forgot the one where your family/friends/collegues ask you, if you secretly are a sociopathic serialkiller because you get glittery eyes when talking about your newest knife-collection-addition ;-)
My mum always says “can’t you please just by some new shoes?” lol
+Mkay hahahaha yes! Its always awkward to tell someone you collect knives
Mkay or when you make them "how many knives do you have?" Me "about 116 finished at the moment but I am making more". "Are you nucking futs?!!" (Yes that's how I wanted it)
My mum says similar things...and I’m in my 40s!!!
I went home early from work yesterday and binged DBK sharpening videos in anticipation of today's episode 😍
HI I remeMbeR YOu
we too never forget Natalie. She is 3% bloody lady elite!
Love wamen couse they leave so quickly... except natalie =)
I came, I liked, I comment, I watch...
If I buy a Fällkniven Modern Bowie...I’m blaming you guys. Great video, as always!
I am totally loving your channel! U2 are so much fun to watch. I’ve been a knife addict since I was old enough to wear pants with pockets. I carried a knife before I started school. I’m 61 now. That’s a lot of years.( that’s probably why am so sore all the time. ) lol Have you guys ever yelled at survival Lilly for using the edge of a knife to Scrape a ferro-rod? God bless you both. John
OMG #3 kills me!!! I can't stand seeing people do that. Great video!
For real
I didn’t know anyone actually did that
Best. Channel. Period. Keep it up guys :)
thanks a lot kyle!
Kyle Keenliside you put a period after a “period”
I first I was like wow these guys are too ridicules then after the 2nd video I realized that's what makes them great lol. now I cant get enough
You guys should do cheap axes vs expensive axes. Love the video those people piss me off too. Love you guys.
I think this was just a hate video for knife noobies in a humorous DBK style. Made my day thanks guys.
Can you maybe make a Video about knife laws in the netherlands? 🤔
Love your Videos guys!!
You are not idiots, your just having fun and including us in said fun!!! Props from the U.S!!!
Was watching one of Survival Lilly's videos and it was just killing me seeing her use the blade edge on a fire steel. She also has no idea how to use a Silky saw.
It's because the falknevien S1 she had had a bad spine on it that could not strike the steel. She hates the thing.
And I don't get that either, I have an S1 and have no problem with the spine striking the fire stick. She is kind of cute and fun to watch, but some of her skills are a little iffy some times.
The produced that bad spine herself by hitting it with objects other people would not baton with
Marco Photo cute?! Are you sure lol
Lol, I did say kinda cute.
I carry a custom bowie knife on my hip every where I go I've never been put in jail. I guess I just live with better laws.
Do some condor knifes mans! I got the Primitive Mountain and Primitive Bush Knife and I want to know what you guys think about them
i do carry a folder knife edc and carry machete when im out in the field. one that i always get from is that when you carry a knife, you are up to not good or wanted to stab someone or consider as bad person. they always see knife as a weapon and never did they think that knife as a tool.
I don't think a survival knife needs to be stainless. You mentioned convex grinds being among the first knives. Well carbon steel knives were used successfully for hundreds of years, and are still adequate choices. I still prefer 5160 for my survival knife. But yes, the batoning stigma gets old. To think a high carbon spring steel or other modern steel is going to be damaged hammering it through wood with wood is absurd. I won't say a little knife can't do a big knife job, but I will say a big knife is better at doing small knife jobs than a small knife is at doing big knife jobs. If you've ever tried to field dress an elk with a Leatherman, you know this. Stainless steel is called stainless steel because it "stains less," not because it doesn't stain at all. Never heard the "knife people are serious," and if I did, I think I would bitch slap the person. I just had a flashback to "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels," "We need knives, big fuck off shiny ones..."
czcams.com/video/Z0mYHjFlh74/video.html
"This is why my family hates you" lmfao thats pretty universal, there is always that friend
you talked about a butter knife, and it wasnt in the description. unsubscribed.
Lol
Same I needed one of those
Imagine just unsubscribing because you don’t even know how to get a butter knife live actually are you dumb?you can literally buy one at Amazon basics don’t unsubscribe just because your dumb idiot
I would love it if u did a video on bounish edge tools. their knives are fantastic. I think you would love them
With the improvement of certain folding knives' locks, if you want to carry a knife with less than a six inch blade you should carry a lightweight folder.
A large belt knife with a lightweight folder and a multi tool will do everything you would need to do in the woods.
Nah. Fixed blade is where it’s at.
Very entertaining. I just bought a Mora Companion today and already I am in love with it. Greetings from South Africa
do a vid in dutch
This is why I love the Mora Garberg. Best of both worlds. Small knife with heavy steel for bigger jobs.
#5 brings it (especially with all you explain) quite on point for me...
You are so right! We must have fun in life and all we idiots that loves knives have a ton of fun 😂 Keep up the great work 🙏
honestly i use carbon steel mostly because you can strike a flint o n the back of it and get sparks for making a flint and steel fire if you do not have a striker with you and also it is easier to sharpen out in the field. but with stainless you have a better edge retention and is better for long use.
jimmy jake
Usually carbon steel is better for edge retention than stainless.
And you can use other rocks instead of flint if they are hard enough
here in Yakutia where i live, we have our national knive called "Yakut knife", and they're always have a stiffebing rib on the blade, and ones who don't know (and there's a 95% of people who don't know) ALWAYS say that it's actually a groove to flow blood from victim or prey. And an animal should die from bleeding if you stab it and leave your knife. Man it's so stupid to hear, and they so convinced in this. I actually don't know how 95% of people don't know why smiths use stiffening ribs, but they KNOW for sure that it's a freaking bleeding groove. In russia this problem is exists too.
Have been lost in the woods for days and have been camping for most of my 47yrs. I never had to baton wood for a fire.
mwillblade that’s fair, but in my experience it makes it easier. Especially if the wood you gather is wet. You can process the wood to get to the dry core.
Try starting a fire in winter when there is snow everywhere and all the wood you can find is wet....
@@jimbob465 Kid, I have started fire with damp wood.
@mwillblade I'm 57 and a grandfather, no need to be a condescending prick.
I'm not talking about damp wood, I'm talking about wet, middle of winter in the rockies wood....
@@jimbob465 You seem to be the only prick here.
Man this was great had some really good laughs. It hurt my soul when you scraped that fire steel with the edge. 😖
One of the best videos yet!
Can you do tests of china knives? From DH-Gate or Ali express? :D Would love to see if they can stand the tests!!! Many knives at Ali express says they have great steel but do they really?? :D
No obviously not. Knives made in a sweat shop aren't worthwhile.
Gasten! 4:44 t/m 4:45 😉
Fully agree!!
Good vid guys!
Gerrit Geerhart Knives & Outdoor hahahahaha agree!!! people who say that sould not survive hahahaha you know natural selection men XD
Something everyone should know.
Can you guys do a comparison video between a Mora 511 and a Becker BK2?
So, if Bark river Bravo 1 is a survival knife, does that mean it's bad for most tasks that include carving? What about the bark river gunny or Aurora?
How do you guys feel about Lionsteel t5?
All 10 points are spot on, well done :)! And, although not a knife, please add the demented comment of:" An axe should never be sharp." Whoever came up with that crap obviously never had the pleasure of working with a Gransfors Bruks axe :D. Groetjes helemaal uit Frankfurt!
danke schon lai!
Hahaha, mag ook in het NLs hoor, dat gaat me een stukkie beter af ;).
Depends what you want the axe to do.
For woodsplitting I prefer a not razor sharp edge.
I can split wood easily enough with a semi sharpbaxe and dont loose my leg if I swing my axe somewhere close on accient
Great video what about 440c Steel I use it to for a lot of hunting tasks.WHAT about that video on Helle knives laminated Steel never rust.Serious question guys is Pluto still a planet.
Billy Prendergast 440c is a good stainless steel. Its a solid choice and I prefer it over many more expensive steels
You guys make some of the greatest videos on CZcams! Your reviews on select bushcraft knives and other hilarious videos are what got me into bushcraft knives. Keep up the great work!
I honestly wish I could meet these guys. They seem so fun.
You guys have great videos. Who doesn’t like to smile. Some people need to take it easy. Take care guys.
The Spyderco Salt series uses H1 steel and while it is not rust proof (I'm sure if you leave it in a pile of salt it will) it will not rust when left in salt water.
Yeah a fire steel harms the edge of course - i modified a lot of my knives on their back that i can use the firesteel as it should be used... but i also used the edge a few times netter 1cm dulled edge than no fire but of course its a shame to use the edge... but lime i said: better 1cm dull edge for a week or something lige that and then go home and resharpen it and maybe modify the back so you dont have to do that again than have no fire but you're right of course and i get your point...i know that doing this harms the edge of every steel a lot and it shouldn't be done but i know more people which don't use their knives - cause of resale value my ones getting no "original edge" they get a mirror polished if i use them for light tasks a few days - so the edge gets better not worse during unde and abuse
You guys knocked it out of the park with this video! I’m crying because I’m laughing so much!
Best , funniest and informative knife channel, thanks guys.
A survival knife is a survival knife, a bushcraft knife is a bushcraft knife and a kitchen knife is a Kitchen knife so and the piont is they cut the stuff they are made for...
Greeting from Germany
Great Video i total agree with you
One of my favorite CZcams channels
So which one, the Becker bk-2 or the Dulo Viking knife? Are you going to do a follow up vid on the Viking knife? Thank you for all your help.
I have a question: is the 440c steel any good, for a budget knive?
Not to bad fairly easy to sharpen which is good as edge retention isn’t the best but for a budget knife it’s pretty good. The only thing is if the heat treat is crap then you could have the best steel in the world it would still be rubbish.
440C is a great steel if used by a great maker.
Steel snobs will not agree.
Wolf Hedegaard not a steel snob I just don't like stainless
Yes very good. Even expensive knifes use this steel
Its rust resistant
Easy to sharpen
Holds a edge linger than 440 a or b
Keep up the good videos! One thing people get chronically wrong is the metallurgy aspects of steel and what effects different alloying elements have and why. Like people argue how ZDP-189 must be ultra stainless because it has 20% chromium like M390 (PS stainless is really defined as 11% FREE chromium in the steel matrix, not total amount). There seem to be a lot of confusion on rockwell hardness and different powder metallurgy processes too. Also there's a whole lot of misinformation on what steels are "chippy" and what degree per side to use on varying blades.
Nice video. Will agree to disagree on a couple of points but well done. A survival situation can take place in an urban setting or a wilderness setting so size is relevant to setting imho. I gotta go with Mors Kochanski, Ray mears, Horace Kephart, Nessmuk, Cody Lundin when it comes to what a survival knife is in the wilderness. Above all it depends on who is using it. In the right hands either of those knives will accomplish all tasks needed.
One thing is for sure; neither one of ya’ needs a Mountain Dew
Test the OKC Old Hickory Hunter, you did the butcher knife, but they've done a nice newer grind, would be nice to see your tests on the hunter.
I don't make the battle-mistress anymore. But I'd like to see your thoughts on the knife.
Whats the best chip resistant metal? Im a bit of a slob and tend to abuse knifes from time to time
So guys... What's a good stainless steel that's easy to sharpen in the field and/or a survival situation (assuming you don't have a sharpening stone with you)??
+Oliver's World I've sharpened CoS on a brick and it worked pretty well although I wasn't having a party over it
That branch was bothering me the whole time! 😬😬 LOL thanks for getting rid of it.
You guys are great!
+christina audio yes VERY annoying! I was not pleased seeing it in the edit
Dutch Bushcraft Knives that damn foreground!
LC200N is a steel that is rustproof. Spyderco uses it. It looks like good steel, better than H1
www.spyderco.com/forumII/viewtopic.php?t=74387 . Well at least, very close
What do you guys think about the cold steel Rajah 2 or as I like to say the little folder that could
Hi guys, do a test on the Bahco 2449 wrecking knife
Another great show guys! Thanks for sticking with it. Good stuff. Not a demand or criticism, but an observation. Europeans are known for many great things throughout the ages. Bows, Swords, knife steels, armor, ship making, bridge building. Americans have a few things we are really good at too. One of those was house building and axe making in the 18th, 19th, 20th centuries. That's right, the United States made some of the best axes in the world once our pioneers sailed from Europe. We made axes with polls for better balance and driving wedges, phantom bevels to reduce sticking in wood, dog leg broad axes for hewing logs, hickory handles to give years of hard service, and we have some of the best shapes you would ever want to fell trees with. It would be neat to see you guys learn how to chop with an axe,and to pick up say a Kelly Perfect 2.5lbs double bit cruiser on a 28" handle, or a 3.5lbs Connecticut on a 31" handle. Maybe even a big Kelly Flint edge 4# double bit on a 33" handle. Learning how to properly design the v notch, and then using these great axes to knock out chips can be pretty satisfying. Theres a lot more to it than simply hitting a tree with an axe. Even the thick European Gransfors axes can do well at felling trees, but not at the same efficiency as a well maintained American axe from our bygone era. Not to mention it helps to build your baton muscles so you can keep beating the hell out of those knives. Anywho, check out "An axe to grind" or "Have broad axe will travel" on youTube. I hope this finds you well, love drinking my morning coffee and listening to your knife talks and tests. I know this is a DBK website, but a good vintage American axe should be in every pioneer's kit. Take care!
thank you so much mauser! I was actually just looking at a workshop for axe cutting haha! I think we know our stuff with knives but we have a lot to learn about axes still. I'd love to learn more about it.
Thanks for the great bit of wisdom that knives are for everyone.
A few of the people at work got very excited when I told them, but my coworkers really aren't pleased at all.
Something tells me my days as an orderly at the secure psychiatric unit might soon be coming to an abrupt end.
You guys are my favourite youtubers! Please continue with the great work!
How do you guyz feel about the Tom Brown tracker knife???
As always, the two DBK MEN rule the wonderful world of CZcams knife lore and education. I send you a huge YOU GUYS ARE RIGHT ...AGAIN!!! From Atlanta, Georgia USA - Live and Prosper in Peace
hey dbk i wanna say thanks for making this video and ill show my freinds who say some of these things and i hear when im going around the internet that home made knives are the worst knives could you help with this misconception or at least give your view
Breh convex is easy to do. All you have to do is slightly told the edge to align the apex as you go back and forth with the blade, you will get a convex edge. Unless your a sharpening god, you will put a convex on any knife with any stone (unless it’s scandi) especially with the knives you sharpen off hand.
definitely! people think too hard about how to convex
Love this channel.from India.
What do you lube your knives with? Is it ok to use wd40?
Is Old Timer 2141OT Copperhead Full Tang any good? Any better suggestions in same price range for trekking and camping purposes.
You guys are killing it. I love the details you add; like the voice for the myths. Damn it's great.
+MeekPopsicle hahaha! Thanks mate, cheers my friend
In my opinion "the best knife ist that one you have with you" is especially for beginners, i mean every knife will be better than none but of course a fixed (or a really extreme strong folder) is better than a victorinox i think you get what i mean every good knive has his use
Yes! Thank you!
What about “a dull knife is more dangerous than a sharp one “
Reptilian Master thats not a myth. Thats true...working with dull tools is dangerous
You guys should do a review on that Aurora Martin was holding
the t-rex reaction at 8.57 is the best thing on youtube.
What's the skinny on D2 steel? I only have small/pocket style blades in it and it seems suitably hard, but poor corrosion resistance and edge retention would suggest it's not ideal for bushcrafting. Thoughts?
+TrojanManSCP it's a classic steel which can be very good with the right heat treatment but if you live in a damp climate it definitely will rust very fast. In general I would not use it for bushcraft although my autine leuku does an awesome job if I keep it dry
Great video, as always! In keeping with the big vs. small and survival vs. bushcraft, can you do a video on the most versatile knives (the ones that are pretty good at most things)?
You guys are great - this stuff SHOULD be fun, thank you!
Loved it. Absolutely loved it. Thanks guys.
How do you guy’s think about damast steel for a knife?
What do you guys think of the Apex Edge pro sharpening system?
I would like to see you have a one-stick, one-knife, fire starting contest. Who can be the first guy to get a small pot of water to boil?
Stainless steel "can" rust. I had a folding pocket knife for 25 years and used it plenty it more recently got a very slight thin layer of rust on the surface mixed with dirt, but was easy to just scrape it off and the knife still good. And I wasn't exactly the best at always keeping it real clean. So yes it _"can"_ but it does take long, as long as you don't keep it wet all and dirty all the time. I have seen a stainless Steel knife rust much faster being kept wet. Was left outdoors long and had rainfalls and morning dew, so it did rust faster than my pocket knife.
Please do a video about the mora bushcraft knife
LOVE your videos fellas, I would like to dispute the whole sandpaper and mouse pad thing though. I use a THIN rubber mouse pad and sandpaper for my bark river knives with great results. I think as long as you are using a thin pad and light pressure it's ok.
It can work of you know how to do it properly but with a lot of people it would only dull their blade
Dutch Bushcraft Knives
I agree, I did my research prior to trying it, and I also stopped frequently during the process to make sure I wasn't rounding my edge. Eventually I want to try water stones, but I need to save up the money to buy them.
Hello DBK i have an older Solingen folding hunting knife and i dont know if its a good knife.The other knife i have is a stupid Bear Grylls knife, i know that the solongen is better than that but can it be a good carver or a bushcrafter?
Hi Guys! Nice review. It was a nice recap of some of the past educational videos I was fortunate enough to catch. Don’t ever stop till you’re old.
good video guys next time,can you make a vid about the buck 119 special?
Been looking a the concept to force a patina on nonstainless blades. Thoughts?
darksi226 do it. Mustard or lemons are my favs
Marten and Mickey please review the L.T. Wright Genesis.
Richy's adventure or ANY L.T!
+Richy's adventure they are very expensive to get to the Netherlands sadly. I almost had one though
Can you scrape a fire steal with a choil though
I cringed at the striking the fire rod with the edge part. Great vid guys keep it up
I live in germany and i love your videos
Pls tell me what song u guys used when you were making fire with the firesteel with the Tops B.O.B, i really need to know.
One question to myth number 3 . How can I start a fire with the steel if my knife has a coating on it (1095 carbonsteel) ?
do a video on the malanika hunter CPM4V next i have the knife myself and its amazing!
