People! There might be an uncertainty regarding the Fällkniven bolster issue. It was only a problem with their first production run and has been solved now. If anyone has a problem with their knife they can send the knife to Fällkniven and get a new and fixed knife which will not have this problem. Chapeu to Fällkniven for the good customer service. Everyone makes mistakes, it's all about how you solve them!
Dutch Bushcraft Knives i have a nice knife to you it is called brusletto hunter, i know it says "hunter" but it is good! I don't know where to order it, but you can find it on the web
On the second big tree, you should have shown one guy going by carrying it, then the other guy also helping, then, because it was so long, have the first guy show up again carrying it, like a third person. A seamless edit.
@@lovemeknots "kakken zonder douwen" literally translates as "pooping without pushing", so it is used for an effortless process. Not a very polite expression, but not that rude either; an adequate description. I doubt a translating program would recognise or correctly translate such an idiomatic expression that is not even used throughout the whole of the Netherlands
Who hikes with a fucking axe? An axe is fine if you're at a National Park campsite, or in your backyard. But I've never heard of anybody doing the PCT with an axe in his pack. Axes are way too heavy and bulky. Now, you have to sometimes hike or scramble with an ICE axe, but that's a different thing.
Bullshit. Unless you're bushwhacking or in your backyard, an axe is more trouble than it's worth. It's way too heavy and bulky. Now, you sometimes must carry an ice axe when you're traveling over snow or ice, but that's something different.
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear knifes and axes shall not be infringed.
I love your channel so much guys. You keep bushcraft light and fun, while still being informative. I appreciate you not taking yourselves too seriously. We need more like you!
You guys are so funny and have taught me so much about bushcraft and have shown me knives that are really worth the money thank you so much for the amazing videos 😁
Machetosexuals are more common (spite what people think) in cold regions... But machetosexuality is far from being accepted in western society, so many machetosexuals don't come out. We don't have many studies on them
Joseph K right here. a thick machette? no way! use that all day you lose your functionality in your wrists.. got a 20" (2mm thick blade) for camp/heavy work. heavy enough. and a14" (2mm thick) for edc.
^ haha true. I never had wrists hurting by using an axe all day. I dont know how he uses an axe but my wrists stay straight using them. Its like using a hammer. A long and/or heavy machette you use more as that as well but giving a bit of wrist action to it. A med. sized machette is just like kitchen knives, you use the wrists almost only. having a wife dont help... those wrists dont get no action no more as the wife does all the action now hahaha
You have a saw to cut down the tree. The saw vastly outperforms the axe, and is much safer to use. Then you can have a saw for felling and cutting down logs, a billhook for delimbing and batonning, and a small knife for carving and bushcraft. Each tool is optimized for its use: the saw is the best solution if you need to rapidly part wood across the fibers. The billhook (rather Italian style: roncola bergamo for exemple) is best for medium chopping, batoning, and handling logs around. The knife can be kept as sharp as one wants since it will be kept only for light duties and won't hit any rock, and it's small size and specific use allows to make it quite light.
Bullshit. I live in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. I don't know that we make an axe (although Seattle-based MSR makes ice axes), but I'd take our knives and outdoor clothes over yours any day. Filson, Pendleton, Feathered Friends, REI, Outdoor Research, Danner, Eddie Bauer, Columbia, Benchmade, Leatherman, CRKT, Chris Reeve, Gerber, etc.
Axe for me, i don't like battening with a knife but i know its a bushcraft/survival skill if you do not have an Axe with you. But i am a knife nut haha ATB Del
Guys I have commented on a couple of your videos and all times you have responded. I find this truly amazing and it shows how much you actually do care about the audience. Nice vid I love it, and as always.... stay sharp.
I'm testing small axes now for uses such as these. I am also getting ready to try a Tomahawk style ax/hatchet as well. A nice hickory handled small ax to me is a better and more versatile tool. A true 'woodcraft' ax would fare much better in tests such as these as well. Granted, making spoons and things aren't going to be as easy but, a lot of the deficits shown by the DBK boys where the knife prevailed would turn out different with a more specialized ax.
Or you could carry this amazing new invention they call a “lighter”. And if it were a true emergency (sure still carry a ferro rod too, why not?) you’ll use either your axe edge at the tip (you’ll still have a sharp belly)... or you’re hyper smart and carry a file too and have flatted one of the thin edges... (that’s what I do). Totally violates the ‘one tool’ philosophy - but working smarter means realizing you bring the right tools for the right jobs. Like lighters.
I love this channel, you guys are hilarious and yet really serious about what youre doing. Your videos are really well edited. i dont think i'll ever get tired of this channel, it just cant be boring. Keep doing what youre doing
I think the winner is the combination of both the axe and the knife, i mean there is a reason they are both still around after thousands of years of human technology :P
Gränsfors Bruk is very good, just like Hultsbruk and Husqvarna. Fällkniven is pretty good too but is relatively new, started importing knives in 1984 and designing in 1987. There are also other Scandinavian knife makers who I prefer.
fantastic channel boys, this is the kind of content we need to be seeing on youtube just two young (and absolutely jacked) dutch dudes cracking jokes and talking about bushcraft and providing useful information and commentary
Here is the thing, just use both. Just strap whatever fixed blade knife you have to your hip and strap your axe or hatchet to your pack or just hold it. Its not such a hassle to have both.
not a big knife or a big axe haha test for example the esee junglas or bark river senegal vs Scandinavian forest axe or american felling axe both from gransfors and you will se smaller differences also can easily scrape a ferro rod on the cheek/side of the axe
I figured I might add my opinion on using a fire steel. I find pulling the steel back and holding the blade or striker stationary to be more controllable and in some situations when using small light tinder you stand a much less of a chance of pushing it away or spreading it across the ground. Just a little tip no one asked for 😂
Hey mates, good comparison with the axe and a large knife!!! Pros and cons for both tools were about spot on!! Safety is a must at night because I almost put an axe in my little bro foot on a camping trip, Martin!!!! Times like that needs a big saw or a knife to baton with!!!! It is refreshing to see some laughter on CZcams these days with all the BS going on here in the US!!! Thanks mates and keep up the fun!!!!!!!
You gents are the perfect team. I really enjoy your videos. My 5 & 3 year old love the jaktkit and Mickey's favorite knife video. The part where Marten starts singing and Mickieb runs off they laugh. And on the gunny video, they love when you scream at the wood while feather sticking. Please keep making these excellent and hilarious videos! Subscribed.
You guys are crazy. Thanks for showing (in a very entertaining way) that both tools have their purposes. So-far as I'm learning I *always* bring a small axe / hatchet when I head out to the woods. I just throw it on my sons pack and the additional weight doesn't bother me at all. =D
If the knife you choose to carry and use is the Terävä Skrama 240, the answer comes even easier. If you carry your Skrama in the double sheath and add in a Skrama 80 or the Jääkäripuukko 85, you've got a complete cutting system for outdoors. If you add in a Silky Zubat or Sugoi, you've got enough to make a cabin in the wilderness.
Great video, thanks for sharing. I sharpened a section of the top of my GBA small forest axe so that I can scrape a ferrorod with it. All the best from Germany, Maximilian
I know that many people baton. But you put your one tool in jeopardy. In a test most knives failed when used as a baton. I learned a new trick. Make an “wedge” out of wood with your knife an it works well splitting big wood. Then cut kindling. Takes about a minute or two to cut a wedge out of wood and you don’t jeopardize you most loved tool. Cause I know you two love your knives. Love vids here in the USA. The are funny and informational.
If you need to take down a tree, cut thick branches, or buck wood get a saw. Like a Corona folding saw. It's extremely quick and the saw is light weight. I was blown away the first time I used one. They are only about $18-$25, depending on the size you get. Invest in one and you will not regret it. I always bring a Saw with me now. A knife, Saw, Axe and sharpening stone. 😃👍
I have run out of good things to say about your guy's content, keep up the amazing work! I love the clips at the end by the way they are really funny. I thumbs up!
LOL! you guys made my day! Mickie you are one funny dude! I have that same model axe! great axe! I'm very happy with it. man was it sleeting and snowing on you guys. was 80F here today in Ft Myers Florida. just finished swimming and working out. thanks to you both for taking the time to share your video with us. Cory.
This is why you should carry an axe with a small knife, like a puukko. Axe can handle a lot of situations and for survival situation where you could choose only one, it would be my pick. As long as you don't have to do any fine carving, you can do with an axe. I do my fires almost exclusively on an axe and only use a knife if that's all I have on me. The ultimate combo for the boreal forests here in Finland is a medium axe, a puukko and a blade for a bucksaw. One could build a whole log house with those tools if needed.
Totally agree fellas but where this falls down is where you have majority hardwoods (Australia for example) then an axe becomes more important. It is still a pain to carry it just saves you a lot more work at the other end and is therefore more worth while.
I always carry a hatchet, 2 knives and a folding saw when I go bush. Never have too many cutting tools and with this I always have the right tool for the job. You guys know that you can split wood with a wooden wedge if you make one. Start a groove with your knife then use the baton and a wedge to save your knife.
I'll take a well made Kukri, like a ZT Vakra. It's the best of both worlds. It's large belly, recurve, and weight make it chop as good as a hatchet, but the recurve can be used like a smaller knife. It's not as effective as either tool, but can be used in both roles.
DBK - 2:00 I think it’s rather important to note that battening a knife in this way will result in a broken knife sooner or later. At the very least you are going to have a loosened handle. Knives are not designed to baton. I realize that some people baton and claim not to have had any problems yet. But that is the operative word; “YET”. Sooner or later every knife will fail being put under those conditions.
Also, just to add something too. I’m not sure what kinds of wood you guys have over in the Netherlands (or the rest of EU for that matter), but I’ve been told it’s nearly entirely soft woods. Here in the US, we have predominantly very hard woods like Ironwood, dogwood, various types of oak, Maple, and many others... Trying to sit by a fire and baton that kind of wood is just going to break your knife. It’s just NOT a good idea. And I certainly wouldn’t recommend it if you place any value on your knife whatsoever.
I agree that knives aren't made for batonning but I do enjoy batonning a lot. It's a relaxing job to do. As far as woods go we have different kind of maples and oaks as well here. No wood as dense as Ironwood though but they are pretty tough.
If I had to choose one? Knife. Preferably something like a BK7. But, given my druthers, I’m definitely in the “both” camp. As someone else on here has already said, the complement each other perfectly.
People! There might be an uncertainty regarding the Fällkniven bolster issue. It was only a problem with their first production run and has been solved now. If anyone has a problem with their knife they can send the knife to Fällkniven and get a new and fixed knife which will not have this problem. Chapeu to Fällkniven for the good customer service.

I wouldn't go out into the forest without both. Both are necessary and they complement each other.
Wise words, I completely agree.

Not compliment.
Different tools for different jobs but if I had to have just one then I'd go for a small axe or a really big knife.
Small hatchets are useless.

You've got a good point they can do the things a axe and a knife can do in 1
1:40 In Dutch we would say "Pooping without force"
You have a saw to cut down the tree. The saw vastly outperforms the axe, and is much safer to use.

The knife can be kept as sharp as one wants since it will be kept only for light duties and won't hit any rock, and it's small size and specific use allows to make it quite light.
A point they made in this video is that they wanted one tool that's able to do it all even if its not the best and most optimised for the job.
The best thing is that the best knife, the best axe and the best outdoor clothes are made in Sweden 😃🏆

Totally agree fellas but where this falls down is where you have majority hardwoods (Australia for example) then an axe becomes more important. It is still a pain to carry it just saves you a lot more work at the other end and is therefore more worth while.
+Justin Bennetts thanks Justin! I completely understand
guys, congrats!! you guys got like 2000 subs in just one day!!!!! I hope you guys keep growing this fast in CZcams! Happy 50.000 subs!
Thanks a lot! We really appreciate the kind words!
ATB!

OMG. Almost 50,000. That calls for a free giveaway trip to the Netherlands to hang out with you guys.
Would love to see a video from you guys on knots and lashings for different things like shelters tools and so on.All the best
+Ciel Vert figure 8 with quick release for everything haha
In Maine we just use a ton of different tools. Machetes, axes, chainsaws, splitting mauls, and can't forget shotguns for limb removal
I know that it wouldnt make a lot of sense but could you please do a Knife vs Saw or Axe vs Saw Video?
You Guys are doing a great job!
I always carry a hatchet, 2 knives and a folding saw when I go bush. Never have too many cutting tools and with this I always have the right tool for the job.
You guys know that you can split wood with a wooden wedge if you make one. Start a groove with your knife then use the baton and a wedge to save your knife.
+Buddha Mack yes we know that trick! You save the knife but might waste time. We rather save time haha! Only if the knife can handle it.
I'll take a well made Kukri, like a ZT Vakra. It's the best of both worlds. It's large belly, recurve, and weight make it chop as good as a hatchet, but the recurve can be used like a smaller knife. It's not as effective as either tool, but can be used in both roles.
Guys - keep doing what you are doing, and keep smoking whatever it is you're smoking out there! Love your channel!!!
Y'all's channel is growing insanely fast! That's, what, 20k just this month?
I would suggest that for axe carving you keep the axe firm and move the wood stick on the axe's blade
never tought i was going to laugh while im watching knife videos,keep going guys loved your content!
Thanks a lot! We really appreciate the kind words!
All the best to you!
DBK - 2:00 I think it’s rather important to note that battening a knife in this way will result in a broken knife sooner or later. At the very least you are going to have a loosened handle. Knives are not designed to baton. I realize that some people baton and claim not to have had any problems yet. But that is the operative word; “YET”. Sooner or later every knife will fail being put under those conditions.
Also, just to add something too. I’m not sure what kinds of wood you guys have over in the Netherlands (or the rest of EU for that matter), but I’ve been told it’s nearly entirely soft woods. Here in the US, we have predominantly very hard woods like Ironwood, dogwood, various types of oak, Maple, and many others... Trying to sit by a fire and baton that kind of wood is just going to break your knife. It’s just NOT a good idea. And I certainly wouldn’t recommend it if you place any value on your knife whatsoever.
I agree that knives aren't made for batonning but I do enjoy batonning a lot. It's a relaxing job to do.
As far as woods go we have different kind of maples and oaks as well here. No wood as dense as Ironwood though but they are pretty tough.
La cucaracha moment was just wonderful 😂😂😂
If I had to choose one? Knife. Preferably something like a BK7. But, given my druthers, I’m definitely in the “both” camp. As someone else on here has already said, the complement each other perfectly.
