You speak the English language more proficiently than most of our (American) native English speakers. Great videos DBK. As a newcomer to proper bushcrafting and knives in general, I find these videos educational and entertaining.
2StrokeBloke this is not meant to offend you but is " I find" these videos ... a proper formulation ? there is a similar one In german and I always thought this was a mistake made by german native speakers
So you got the Garberg!It is my latest knife too and i love it. As for reasons and intended use of a knife-lets not kid ourselves,we have crossed the line of need a long time ago and buy knives just because we want them .
sure thing. we became collectors. But hey money doesn't make one happy. cool stuff can! We have a review on the garberg coming soon. We loved it very much as well.
BirdShot IV QqI don't really know what to say I know you've wanted to leave here for a long time and I know you'd even had it worked out for Teresa to put you on the bus, I don't think Dewayne has meant any ill intent with any words and I know words can be twisted. I think Chantal is a bad influence on you and everytime y'all are together rumors fly. Just like all the stuff she told you the other day about little Michael and Kathy green whether it's true or not it's not yalls place to spread it. That's the problem y'all talk about all this and I've begged you to not gossip and to keep your nose on your face. Gracie I love you with all my heart and I always have and I always will. All this talking behind my back is wrong and a lot of rumors have came from you and Chantal and I know this. And Dewayne has always despised Chantal and Jessica because of there mouths and the way they carry tales. We will talk tomorrow tho......I love you're
Oh, also another sharpening method is putting sandpaper on a hard surface and wetting it, then sharpening your convex knife like you would on waterstones. The exact same results, only difference is you don’t get a mirror finish and the sandpaper doesn’t last that long. I tried this method after sharpening my knife for 5 goddamn hours on King stones.
You guys have an insane amount of nice high quality knives. That's why I would love to see you both buy a Gerber Strongarm, try it out.....yes I said Gerber;) Steel quality is all about heat treatment, a good cook makes good food and Gerber's USA 420 is cooked just right. I have only three knives, I've sold my small collection and have 1 Mora Pro Robust, Condor Bushlore & a Gerber Prodigy. I don't have the Strongarm yet but will have one soon, but my Prodigy I kid you not ive been using that knife daily chopping and carving hard use for 8 months. The knife is 420hc USA and it's got a really good heat-treat, after changing the grind a bit it's been the best I only strop it from time to time. The Strongarm is only $50 US it's a better design than the Prodigy, give um a try it would be cool to see what you guys think, I love your channel by the way.
Thanks a lot mate! The only experience I have with 420 is from buck and a budget knife I have. I wasn't really impressed by buck's 420 but as you say it's all about the heat treat! 50% type of steel and 50% what you can cook of it! I own an Enzo O1 and while O1 is a budget steel the performances is like that of some ''super steels'' because of it's heat treat. I don't know if we'll be able to test the prodigy anytime soon but it sure looks like a very usable knife made as a work horse. Is there a version without the serrations? I use the start of the edge most for cutting so serrations are kinda a pain for me. Stay sharp! and all the best to you!
Dutch Bushcraft Knives The Strongarm comes with both choices straight edge or serrated, but just recently Gerber released the Prodigy with a straight edge. For new comers who might be looking for a camp knife/survival knife I would highly recommend them over the Mora's in the $30-$50 range. IMO the Strongarm is a better overall design sheath is awesome.
Nice Talk, i love knives since my 5 years... I had plenty of cheap shits etc... then i started with family tradition... blacksmithing, i am making my own knives, every day means practice... i started with sharpening few days ago and i am able to make razor sharp knive in 10 to 15 minutes, i shaved my arms and legs (blood included) :D Thanks for help, advice and fun :) I prefer skandi knives, because they look more angry for me than konvex.
Hello DBK, what's up ? I got my Gunny Elmax today, beautiful knife, i can't wait to test it this weekend ! Thank you for your advice and keep going your videos !!
You are very welcome Ben! We are doing great thanks! Congratulations on your awesome knife! I love my gunny elmax a lot. I bet you will be happy with it. - stay sharp!
Thanks guys, you are one my favorite channel ! I need your experience about stropping, i bought the DLT strop XL with black and green coupound, but everytime i strop my knives with it, i loose my edge ... I watches yours videos about stropping but i don't understand what's it's the problem ... Thanks for your futur reply ;)
the swedish air force don't use the fallkniven F 1 anymore, because of the convex grind. They only used the first production line with the flat grind. The convex is very difficult to shape in the field, that's a problem for military use.
2016:"buying a knife to put in a glass case is weird, I would never do it" 2021: *buys a Rocksted 😂 Just more to show how far y'all have come 💪 love you guys!
I get a lot of entertainment with you two. The thrills of learning and discussion and the entertaining aspect of producing watchable shows. The videos are flawless and Im eager when I see your video presented to watch. I like your opening music and scenes even. My choice for a knife would be Bark River Gunny hunter in Elmax with white C Tek, if I could get one. Maybe they will do a fill-in run of tjem and I can order. I heard they are 0.135" inches thick on tje spine. I like thin, slicey knives. Today I first heard of Fox River EXT-1 IN ELMAX LT 0.118" INCHES ON THE SPINE! Perfection, cause the regular is a friggen giant scalpel!
Pathetic how so many of your videos has over 100,000 views and only a couple of thousand thumbs up. I guess people are jealous. They will take the time to watch the video but not show appreciation. Either that or they are too stupid to realize how much it helps to give a thumbs up and comment. Great videos.
Right now the Jaakari Puukko 110 is my knife of choice. Its nothing fancy, but the handle is perfect. No hot spots and very comfortable. 80CrV2, 59 HRC steel. and for the price there is no competition $65 USD shipped.
The last sentence hits the point for me, too. I once tried an Esee 3 and I think it feels a bit cheap in the hand and it has that kind of military look which I personally don't like.
Great new videos guys! I'm also a big Fallkniven fan. The pro series are indeed great. Also, I love the NL series. They're just sublime to hold and to use and look at. I've been darkening the leather handles with a beeswax mix and they look stunning. Under close scrutiny these fallknivens, IMO, are as good or better than most custom knives...some costing thousands of dollars...so they are good value in that context. Not sure how accurate, but I heard that Peter at Fallkniven likes to carry the NL1 Thor into the Swedish wilderness!!!
Also, are Falkniven knives short in the handle? I have big mitts! I rrally don't want expensuve premium knife n its small for my hand. I love Fox River hunting knife but it doesn't work for my hand. I wish I could get Fox River II LT! I love Fox River EXT-1
Great video guys. Totally agree about your point on folding knives, they have their place but in no way replace a fixed blade out bush. Why trust a knife thats already broken? I often use a spyderco for EDC but it gets left behind for a Mora anyday of the week when outdoors. Those Fallkniven Pro knives are so shiny, ive never heard of the Steel interesting, the next knife upgrade I think will be Bark River. Cheers from Australia
Go for the Fallkniven pro series. Cuts through time like butter but has a hard time with space. I bet after using a very expensive stropping compound you could probably cut through time so easily that you'll be skinning dinosaurs within a few seconds.
Ah, thanks! That's good to know, I always thought I have to wait for Bark River making a light saber. Unfortunately I have only a standard A1 at this time.
I'm thinking of getting my first bark river. I want the fox river for kind of a all around knife, but trying to decide between the elmax or cpm 3v. Any thoughts would help. Btw, love the channel, you guys keep it fun! Also i'm pretty sure most women have more experience in bush crafting! lol
I use a Mora Bushcraft Forest at the moment and it does it all and keeps a great edge! But next up is something from Fällkniven (swedes support swedes) ;). Great videos btw!
guys. really love your videos. funny, informative and just awesome. I want all your stuff! haha so jealous of those beautiful woods. however, I have a request, could you please do a video on knife steels? I am lost in knives. I want a condor bushlore, a karesaudo boar and everything else I see with that style but how do I know which steel to choose? please help! :)
hey, thanks a lot for the kind words! We might do a video about knife steels later on this year. We are expecting some hard to get knife steels (custom knives) within the next few months so we want to test these before the video.
Great video! Despite being into custom knives I also love the F1, fantastic robust and versatile knife. I have one question and a comment. Which make was that 160+Euro knife with the "supersteel"? As a comment on supersteels. I think supersteels are overrated :-) A2, O1, 52100, 80CrV2, etc. blades can be fantastic performers if the heat treat and grinding is done right. In fact these steels are very common among custom makers, and they can be blody good!
I do agree. Supersteel is mostly based on pure edge retention. I love O1 for it's balance but I dislike A2 (only have experience with Bark river's a2) it didn't hold an edge and was also kinda weak. MY o1 enzo performed fantastic!
If handed right A2 and O1 should be very close in performance (O1 being a tiny bit worse on rust). I have several Fiddlebacks in A2 (and one in O1), and they are all great! The steel in my Fiddlebacks are also notably harder than my A2 BRKs...
I don't want to be ignorant. Is it Martin or Maarten? My buddy is looking at a fixed blade. He really likes Bark River and and CPM 3V, but hears you guys talk a lot about Fallkniven. Massdop has some good prices on the Fallkniven F1s and it is VG-10 laminate. What is the difference between regular VG-10 and VG-10 laminate? He's drawn towards Bark River. Can you give him some advice? I think you'd go towards Bark River with CPM 3V. Let me know. He's a Vietnam veteran in USMC. He brought his Ka-bar over to my house and it still had dirt from Vietnam (1968). It had no rust. He never sharpened it either. Very impressive. We are way older than you guys, but respect your opinion. His use would be as a camp/bushcraft knife. Also I just bought a dPX HEFT Woodsman 6. Any opinion on that? I have a First Edge 5050 that US Navy Seals use. What do you think of that one? Sorry for so many questions, but I'm new to knives (1 year) and still bringing up my knowledge on fixed blades and folders. I'm an idiot that bought 90 knives in my first year. Thanks for your input. I love your channel.
It's Maarten but google translate turns my name into Martin in english so i guess I'm both haha. Both Bark River and Fallkniven are excellent choices. All the fallkniven survival blades (F1 S1 and A1) are laminated vg-10. This means the VG10 is sandwiched between a layer of softer steel. This adds flexibility to the VG-10 making it less prone to breakage. Vg-10 is a really balanced steel. Decent edge retention, very easy to sharpen and stainless. CPM-3V can rust, holds an incredible edge but is harder to sharpen or strop. Both steels excel in their own way. I think, as he is a older than us he can really appreciate the semi custom feel of bark river knives and being able to choose from different handle materials. CPM-3V is our current favourite steel, together with the fact that bark river has excellent handle geometry I would say go with Bark River and CPM-3V in this case. Chose one with liners in the handle if you have medium to large hands. I don't have any experience with DPX knives but the sleipner steel is very good. It holds a good edge while still being quite easy to sharpen from what i've heard. The First Edge has a great blade geometry. together with the Elmax steel it should make a excellent knife. Elmax is one of the better steels available in production knives at this moment. It has better edge retention than cpm-3v. We are honoured that you value our opinion. We are young but we love what we do and we try to share what we learn. -Stay sharp!
I use a high carbon knife to gut/skin/process various game animals and meats. the best way to prevent rust is leave some blood/ or fat on the knife when you put it in the sheath- then wash it off before you use it again
Thanks guys 👍🏼 I never heard of that particular steel before .. I love the enzo trapper and the handle materials ,for the money it's 👍🏼👍🏼 also bark river are awesome .. falkniven is 😍 I was reading some of the comments... I have a bk2 1095 .. is elmax and vg10 better for hard use , .. make more videos .. talk more 👍🏼👊🏼👊🏼
thanks mate! Elmax and Vg10 are pretty different steels. Elmax is mainly edge retention while VG10 is a balanced steel like CoS but not as good as CoS. Elmax is excellent for hard use in a smaller knife. In a big knife it might get chippy.
Hi Guys Mark here, after watching you stress test on the Mora Knife i got the black and green Companion and also the Garberg because its full tang, your reviews along with many others but yours especially after trying to kill it i figured you cant beat it so i figured if the non full tang can handle that beating imagine the full tang how good that would be, i dont know nothing about the different types of metal i just went according to the reviews, maybe you guys can do a video review on that topic in the future thanks guys peace out
Say Heah, What I like to do is test my conflict with Nature vs. Man. So I like to do solo's. I like people. But testing yourself has a mistique. So yeah, Lady Luck sat on my shoulder. So I bought a Fox Parang Bushcraft Jungle Knife. It has a O.D. Sheath and Attachment. I also bought a C.S. 3V Master Hunter thinking to team it with my Fox. But then I found out that Fox also made a Jungle Parang. very similar but with suttle difference. So I bought it, it came in Black instead of the O.D. Green. So actually my 3V Master Hunter will color match much better. So I got the Mora Kansbol and the Eldris in the O.D. Green. I also got a Black Eldris that I'll use as neck knives. But I also remembered I have a hardly used Benchmade CSK #156 in D2 but with serrations, But with serrations I can still make great curls making feathersticks. So that's another knife to go with my Black Fox Jungle Parang. But I also got a Mora Garberg for my Afternoon Delights when I just go out for some grilled butcher shop hot dog with mustard and onions and a can of pork and beans with coffee and a good cigar. Yeah M&M it just doesn't get any better. Unless your Afternoon Delights are different, heh heh heh, .,,.
Great reviews, but 13:34 Cocobolo is not a softer wood, it has a Janka hardness rating of 2960 which is harder than most woods you will ever come across. Desert Ironwood is 3260 so not that much harder. For comparison, Black Walnut is 1010, Red Oak 1290, White oak 1350, Hickory (one of America's hardest common woods) 1820.
Brothers, thanks a lot for all of your sweet talks and for all help. actually i'm really new on bushcrafting. After using mora companion for some time, as my first full tang real bushcraft knife i decided to buy an enzo trapper 95. which is not also very expensive. But now it is really hard for me to choose one of those steels. i was sure that i was going to go with "01 tool steel" bacause it is really easy to sharpen carbon steel(im also very new about sharpening with waterstones). But after watching this video, i think maybe i may go with "N690 stainles". So, i have two questions : 1. How fast does 01 rusts in a wet enviroment? 2. Is there any difference bethween the performances of two enzo trappers 01 and N690; if i get N690 do i loose any cutting capability? Again thanks for all off your effort. You helped a lot.
+baris ersoz hey baris, O1 is a great steel. It has better edge retention than n690 with the enzo Knives. Enzo does a very good heat treat on their O1. However O1 rust like crazy. It's on of the few knives i found impossible to keep without rust spots. I do love it a lot. If you go for stainless i would suggest taking a look at the elmax version. It has better edge retention than O1 and N690 and is stainless.
Hi guys, thanks for the great vid. It is very informative and in a honest way. I'm a follower of DBK a long time but I never saw some informations about a Fällkniven Northern light series. I'm from the bavarian outback (germany) and have a lot of german (steel) knives, but now I'm searching for informations about bark river, fällkniven pro series or tre kroner or NL-series and it is very hard to make a decission. thanks for your good looking vids. Greets from bavaria, phil
Guten Tag Phil!, thanks for the compliment. We have looked at the fallkniven Northern light series but they are just more fancy looking f1, s1 and a1's. The look more appealing but the handle material isn't care free. The handle takes blood, dirt and stuff like that much more easily. Some people like the worn look but for us it was the reason to stick with the regular ones. The TK2 just doesn't really appeal to me. It must be a good hunting knife from what i've heard though. Good luck with making your hard decision!
The really great thing about Moras is that it doesnt even matter if they do break, I mean, they rarely do but its not like you've killed your $300 knife
Holy smoke. In yet another eBay bidding moment of craziness, for a good price, I bought a mint 'Busse' Anniversary Straight Handle Battle Mistress. I went in relatively blind and have no idea about Busse...but It would seem to be like an American muscle car of knives. I've handled it and it's a big beefy 11.5inch blade in full flat grind in INFI steel with a full tang G10 handle. I'm sure you guys know. It came with an Azwelke sheath. Would you guys like to do an assessment of it?
haha that's a bloody sword mate. Busse is kinda hard to get here in the Netherlands. I would like to try INFI steel because I haven't had it yet but the Busse' Anniversary Straight Handle Battle Mistress is too big for our use. It should make a very sturdy survival blade for sure. -stay sharp!
Yeah true the Busse is a bit big and heavy, but I thought I'd try it because I live in the sub tropics and out of necessity some of my main heavy users are an old military Martindale Golok, a Svord Golok and a special type of big Australian cane machete. It'll be interesting to see how the Busse performs. Keep up the great work. Cheers!
Nice sellection of knives guys. My most used knive is the Mora Companion, this is just incredible for all kind of cutting tasks. I just bought the Boker Terra Africa Outdoor and I can recommend this one also. As phase-out model it is now in the 100+ Euro range. Maybe you can talk a little bit more about the blade length and thickness. Regards EM
We'll check the knife out! Maybe we'll expand a bit more in a new video soon. We just tested out the mora garberg and that knife is incredible. If you like the mora companion you'll probably marry the mora garberg! Cheers man
I bought the Extrema Ratio Giant Mamba..I feel like a bushcrafting Ninja 😜 it's a handsome thing! but ill stick with the Fällkniven f1 Elmax or my RL34 Arizona iron wood Custom because I'm a knife snob 😁 I blame you guys for my collection ! showing me all those lovely shiny sharp things of awesome beauty..but i hold no grudge👍 the girlfriend dose ! but not me 🙃🤪😜
I have looked at them. they are more hunting style knives. I would love to own one but it would sit in my drawer for most of it's life I think. Might get one in the future because some of them use steels I don't have yet hehe.
If you have a types of steel video can u direct me to it please. Excellent commentary, when the shouting stops but great entertainment, and you can learn a lot but u gotta listen awful hard.
I will be buying more bark river knives, I have two so far and love the quality of them. I have listened to your recommendations regarding the steel choice and unfortunately some of the particular knives they dont give you a choice on the steel choice, the Bark River Knives: Phoenix II for instance only comes in 1095 steel :(
That was only because the repiutation of the company was good, but they didnt offer any models in 1095 so they developed the Phoenix series to supply 1095 lovers with Barkies
Could you do review of the roselli UHC Carpenter knife or UHC Hunting knife. I would love to know is that knife worth to buy to my go to Bushcrafting knife. Thanks
I'm currently looking for the perfect camping/survival knife for me and it's really difficult haha. There are so many choices it's not easy to find THE perfect blade. Moras are all over the place when you're looking for a knife and I'm still not sure if I should rely on one of those for survival. Something is telling me that their price is too good to be true and that I need to pay more for something way better. I want to buy one knife and then use that one for everything, for the rest of time (hopefully). So I'm willing to spend a bit of money, but forget about 400$+ knives, those are unfortunately out of my league. My max would be 160$-180$, but at that price I wonder if the knife that I would get would be better than the Mora Bushcraft Black for example and justify a higher price tag.
Awesome review guys. Just subbed. I'm just about to drop some good money on a high end knife. Been collecting for a while, mostly lower end edcs and I have my Moras. I'm from Canada, and the price differences are quite different. You should check out some Cosmo knives. He's a Canadian who makes some really nice knives. Pretty pricey though. But I learned a lot and am probably going with a Bark River. Cheers
You guys have any recommendation for a small EDC fixed blade? Bark River I'm guessing? I'm not concerned about the sheath as I would likely make my own. Great videos. Loved the Robust destruction. What a knife!
its unbelievable.......(remember that Song Englisssshh)... Great Channel by the way (Ps. im born/grown up) just a stone cast from Fällkniven in SwÄden :) pss. now i have TWO blade channels :) (Blade HQ & U)
Your english is like the one from native speakers. How does it come? I know that most of the dutch people speak english (nearly perfect). Beside of that: extremely informative video!
Hey thanks a lot! I actually learned English from playing online games as a kid haha. Mikkie was raised bilingual. English lessons begin in 5th grade of pre school here as well so everyone can speak basic English Here at least
Great video and info love Fallkniven also after some of your tests and vids I ordered an EnZo Elmax great price and knife :D Also did you guys ever look into eickhorn-solingen or have any experience ? Have been scouting some of those knifes and seen some insane tests and performance.
Thanks a lot mate! I hope the EnZo will serve you for a long time. The only eikhorn I have is this old german dagger www.legacy-collectibles.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/b/_/b_055_6_2.jpg Not planning on testing it though haha. Their modern knives look kinda odd from what i've seen but they have a lot of years of experience so I wouldn't be surprised if their performance is awesome.
What is a good way to determine/learn what steels to go with for a survival knife/bushcraft I've got a few model moras I love them besides they don't all have a 90* edge on spine. But I'm looking for a one tool knife option long term that is great for the majority of tasks I know there is no such thing as the perfect knife that does it all but I would rather get a really quality one next versus 10 more okay quality...... I hate to admit it but my esse I had much higher hopes for but just striking a ferro rod on the grinned spine it gets nicks after just a few strikes.. may be good for other stuff but I like the full tang and thickness of blade something like the esse 4 with a better steel spine that can take many ferro strikes and I'd be happy
don't hate esee; they're good People and have set the bar for costumer service and warrenty in the industry :-) Great vid and can't wait to see #2. I just made a 50cm strop and it makes stropping so much easier. Do you already have a vid about convex sharpening on a stone? If not, can you recommend or make one? Cheers.
Hey Michiel, I don't hate Esee as a company but I really don't understand 1095 @ 55-56HRC on their smaller knives. They just don't hold an edge in a normal edge geometry. I would understand this hardness on large choppers as they need a lot of flexibility. We don't have a video where we really explain how to sharpen or make a convex edge. I would suggest watching some of virtuovice his videos. In this video I make a secondary convex on a kitchen knife and some regular convex sharpening some outdoor knives ruclips.net/video/zA0SOclSVrc/видео.html
New subscriber catching up on your older video..but I'm in Eastern NC USA I've no idea how much a euro is..could you give price in euro and US? Anyway love your channel
is it possible to use mora companion spark to make a Sweden torch ? I mean if there are difficult for the wood is too thick to cut in .thank you very much
You speak the English language more proficiently than most of our (American) native English speakers.
Great videos DBK. As a newcomer to proper bushcrafting and knives in general, I find these videos educational and entertaining.
Thanks for your kind words man!! We do our best, Cheers man!
2StrokeBloke this is not meant to offend you but is " I find" these videos ... a proper formulation ? there is a similar one In german and I always thought this was a mistake made by german native speakers
nice thank you
You youngins are adorable being all professional like. Lol Love the evolution of the show and you two, keep I up!!
*it
I agree..they´re cute together...I miss being that age
I work construction. I carry my Mora Robust every day, and NEVER had an issue with it! Always a good value.
You made my choice of buying a Bark River so easy...(after watching other reviews.)Thx DBK...new subscriber !
On a DBK video marathon love you guys!
I have to say that this is the most enjoyable knife video I've seen this year (and trust me, I've watched a ton of them).
Thanks a thousand! It's good to hear because we also really enjoyed making this video.
Great video! Good advice and perspective. well done
Thanks a lot Cornell!
Another great video gentlemen. A thorough analysis across the price points. I really enjoy your table top review.
Thanks man! Allways nice to hear some good feedback, cheers
So you got the Garberg!It is my latest knife too and i love it.
As for reasons and intended use of a knife-lets not kid ourselves,we have crossed the line of need a long time ago and buy knives just because we want them .
sure thing. we became collectors. But hey money doesn't make one happy. cool stuff can! We have a review on the garberg coming soon. We loved it very much as well.
My first knife was the Cold steel Leatherneck SF, followed by the KABAR 1211. My latest & most favorite knife is the TOPS Silent Hero.
Cool!
This is hilarious seeing how funny you two have become and how much the show has changed!
Thanks a lot !
2 minutes in, Mora knives! Can't go wrong
8:45 to 9:00 lmao
+BirdShot IV great video guys!
thanks a lot Bird, frankie , both.
Funny thing is we learn from ourselves with these videos. They make you think about your knives.
BirdShot IV QqI don't really know what to say I know you've wanted to leave here for a long time and I know you'd even had it worked out for Teresa to put you on the bus, I don't think Dewayne has meant any ill intent with any words and I know words can be twisted. I think Chantal is a bad influence on you and everytime y'all are together rumors fly. Just like all the stuff she told you the other day about little Michael and Kathy green whether it's true or not it's not yalls place to spread it. That's the problem y'all talk about all this and I've begged you to not gossip and to keep your nose on your face. Gracie I love you with all my heart and I always have and I always will. All this talking behind my back is wrong and a lot of rumors have came from you and Chantal and I know this. And Dewayne has always despised Chantal and Jessica because of there mouths and the way they carry tales. We will talk tomorrow tho......I love you're
@@jeanniebrooks679 ?? 🤫🤐🤭
Nice knives! I’ve been wanting to get a fallkniven f1 for a while. But those bark rivers... then the benchmade puukko. So many knives, so little time.
Its crazy to see how DBK has progressed from these old vids. Can't wait for my DBK knife
Oh, also another sharpening method is putting sandpaper on a hard surface and wetting it, then sharpening your convex knife like you would on waterstones. The exact same results, only difference is you don’t get a mirror finish and the sandpaper doesn’t last that long. I tried this method after sharpening my knife for 5 goddamn hours on King stones.
You guys have an insane amount of nice high quality knives. That's why I would love to see you both buy a Gerber Strongarm, try it out.....yes I said Gerber;) Steel quality is all about heat treatment, a good cook makes good food and Gerber's USA 420 is cooked just right.
I have only three knives, I've sold my small collection and have 1 Mora Pro Robust, Condor Bushlore & a Gerber Prodigy. I don't have the Strongarm yet but will have one soon, but my Prodigy I kid you not ive been using that knife daily chopping and carving hard use for 8 months. The knife is 420hc USA and it's got a really good heat-treat, after changing the grind a bit it's been the best I only strop it from time to time. The Strongarm is only $50 US it's a better design than the Prodigy, give um a try it would be cool to see what you guys think, I love your channel by the way.
Thanks a lot mate! The only experience I have with 420 is from buck and a budget knife I have. I wasn't really impressed by buck's 420 but as you say it's all about the heat treat! 50% type of steel and 50% what you can cook of it! I own an Enzo O1 and while O1 is a budget steel the performances is like that of some ''super steels'' because of it's heat treat.
I don't know if we'll be able to test the prodigy anytime soon but it sure looks like a very usable knife made as a work horse. Is there a version without the serrations? I use the start of the edge most for cutting so serrations are kinda a pain for me.
Stay sharp! and all the best to you!
Dutch Bushcraft Knives The Strongarm comes with both choices straight edge or serrated, but just recently Gerber released the Prodigy with a straight edge. For new comers who might be looking for a camp knife/survival knife I would highly recommend them over the Mora's in the $30-$50 range. IMO the Strongarm is a better overall design sheath is awesome.
Nice Talk, i love knives since my 5 years... I had plenty of cheap shits etc... then i started with family tradition... blacksmithing, i am making my own knives, every day means practice... i started with sharpening few days ago and i am able to make razor sharp knive in 10 to 15 minutes, i shaved my arms and legs (blood included) :D Thanks for help, advice and fun :) I prefer skandi knives, because they look more angry for me than konvex.
Loved this, can't wait to see part #2!
Good to hear mate! good thing we already have one ready with another topic.
thanks for watching this long video!
m390 steel is one of my favorites.. great vid guys
for good reason! M390 holds an incredible edge!
Thanks a lot!
Hello DBK, what's up ?
I got my Gunny Elmax today, beautiful knife, i can't wait to test it this weekend !
Thank you for your advice and keep going your videos !!
You are very welcome Ben!
We are doing great thanks!
Congratulations on your awesome knife! I love my gunny elmax a lot. I bet you will be happy with it.
- stay sharp!
Thanks guys, you are one my favorite channel !
I need your experience about stropping, i bought the DLT strop XL with black and green coupound, but everytime i strop my knives with it, i loose my edge ... I watches yours videos about stropping but i don't understand what's it's the problem ...
Thanks for your futur reply ;)
the swedish air force don't use the fallkniven F 1 anymore, because of the convex grind. They only used the first production line with the flat grind. The convex is very difficult to shape in the field, that's a problem for military use.
I agree with you on the gimping. With no gloves it becomes pretty irritating.
Good video fellas. You guys have a lot of knives.
+YesDeere13 thanks a lot mate! We try to test as many different knives as possible so we can share a good opinion based on different experiences.
watching your vídeos it's such fun!
thanks a lot!
2016:"buying a knife to put in a glass case is weird, I would never do it"
2021: *buys a Rocksted 😂
Just more to show how far y'all have come 💪 love you guys!
couldn't find a vid of you guys only talking about steels. that would rock because you've had experience with soooo many!!
we might do one after we've gotten our custom knives. We have some on order in very special steels.
I get a lot of entertainment with you two. The thrills of learning and discussion and the entertaining aspect of producing watchable shows. The videos are flawless and Im eager when I see your video presented to watch. I like your opening music and scenes even. My choice for a knife would be Bark River Gunny hunter in Elmax with white C Tek, if I could get one. Maybe they will do a fill-in run of tjem and I can order. I heard they are 0.135" inches thick on tje spine. I like thin, slicey knives. Today I first heard of Fox River EXT-1 IN ELMAX LT 0.118" INCHES ON THE SPINE! Perfection, cause the regular is a friggen giant scalpel!
Pathetic how so many of your videos has over 100,000 views and only a couple of thousand thumbs up. I guess people are jealous. They will take the time to watch the video but not show appreciation. Either that or they are too stupid to realize how much it helps to give a thumbs up and comment. Great videos.
Right now the Jaakari Puukko 110 is my knife of choice. Its nothing fancy, but the handle is perfect. No hot spots and very comfortable. 80CrV2, 59 HRC steel. and for the price there is no competition $65 USD shipped.
I own one as well. It feels great but I have yet to test it
The last sentence hits the point for me, too. I once tried an Esee 3 and I think it feels a bit cheap in the hand and it has that kind of military look which I personally don't like.
Jup, not a nice brand in our opinion
I find the steel way to soft.
Great new videos guys! I'm also a big Fallkniven fan. The pro series are indeed great. Also, I love the NL series. They're just sublime to hold and to use and look at. I've been darkening the leather handles with a beeswax mix and they look stunning. Under close scrutiny these fallknivens, IMO, are as good or better than most custom knives...some costing thousands of dollars...so they are good value in that context. Not sure how accurate, but I heard that Peter at Fallkniven likes to carry the NL1 Thor into the Swedish wilderness!!!
Thanks a lot mate! I also use beeswax for darkening leather often! It makes it look very classy and even helps preserve it. Thanks for sharing mate!
I’ve rewatched all of your videos in order to decide which Fallkniven Pro series knife to break the bank on, so far no luck :(
What are there 3 or 4 in tje Pro series? Is Falkniven Modern Bowie in the Pro series?
Also, are Falkniven knives short in the handle? I have big mitts! I rrally don't want expensuve premium knife n its small for my hand. I love Fox River hunting knife but it doesn't work for my hand. I wish I could get Fox River II LT! I love Fox River EXT-1
@@ssunfish yes the MB is in the Series ! And more or less i would say the kk to but without box
@@ssunfish no the s is a bit thin but the A1 has a meaty comfortable handle of course !
Great video guys. Totally agree about your point on folding knives, they have their place but in no way replace a fixed blade out bush. Why trust a knife thats already broken? I often use a spyderco for EDC but it gets left behind for a Mora anyday of the week when outdoors. Those Fallkniven Pro knives are so shiny, ive never heard of the Steel interesting, the next knife upgrade I think will be Bark River. Cheers from Australia
thanks a lot! We mirror-polished all our fallkniven pro knives. it looks great on them haha. They don't come like this from the factory though.
Great video guys! Nice to have good reviewers in the Netherlands helps a lot with choosing my next knife! Keep up the good work!
Kevin Krekels thanks a lot! you are very welcome!
Thanks dudes! Really helped me in choosing my new knife :)
+PvPbomber009 you are welcome!
So much choice !
As a user and collector, I have a great need for the sharpest knife that can cut through time and space.
Go for the Fallkniven pro series. Cuts through time like butter but has a hard time with space. I bet after using a very expensive stropping compound you could probably cut through time so easily that you'll be skinning dinosaurs within a few seconds.
Ah, thanks! That's good to know, I always thought I have to wait for Bark River making a light saber. Unfortunately I have only a standard A1 at this time.
@@DutchBushcraftKnives LMAO
I'm thinking of getting my first bark river. I want the fox river for kind of a all around knife, but trying to decide between the elmax or cpm 3v. Any thoughts would help. Btw, love the channel, you guys keep it fun! Also i'm pretty sure most women have more experience in bush crafting! lol
I got a mora robust as my first knife
Same
Garberg. Best knive.
how can you guys even get 10disslikes???? wow good work on channel love it soo badly
+System HD haha thanks a million mate!
Excellent!
I use a Mora Bushcraft Forest at the moment and it does it all and keeps a great edge! But next up is something from Fällkniven (swedes support swedes) ;). Great videos btw!
great vid this one helped me to buy my own
what did you go for?
@@craggerrs bro this was 3years ago I love lost it now
guys. really love your videos. funny, informative and just awesome. I want all your stuff! haha so jealous of those beautiful woods. however, I have a request, could you please do a video on knife steels? I am lost in knives. I want a condor bushlore, a karesaudo boar and everything else I see with that style but how do I know which steel to choose? please help! :)
hey, thanks a lot for the kind words! We might do a video about knife steels later on this year. We are expecting some hard to get knife steels (custom knives) within the next few months so we want to test these before the video.
Great video! Despite being into custom knives I also love the F1, fantastic robust and versatile knife. I have one question and a comment.
Which make was that 160+Euro knife with the "supersteel"?
As a comment on supersteels. I think supersteels are overrated :-) A2, O1, 52100, 80CrV2, etc. blades can be fantastic performers if the heat treat and grinding is done right. In fact these steels are very common among custom makers, and they can be blody good!
I do agree. Supersteel is mostly based on pure edge retention. I love O1 for it's balance but I dislike A2 (only have experience with Bark river's a2) it didn't hold an edge and was also kinda weak. MY o1 enzo performed fantastic!
If handed right A2 and O1 should be very close in performance (O1 being a tiny bit worse on rust). I have several Fiddlebacks in A2 (and one in O1), and they are all great! The steel in my Fiddlebacks are also notably harder than my A2 BRKs...
I don't want to be ignorant. Is it Martin or Maarten? My buddy is looking at a fixed blade. He really likes Bark River and and CPM 3V, but hears you guys talk a lot about Fallkniven. Massdop has some good prices on the Fallkniven F1s and it is VG-10 laminate. What is the difference between regular VG-10 and VG-10 laminate? He's drawn towards Bark River. Can you give him some advice? I think you'd go towards Bark River with CPM 3V. Let me know. He's a Vietnam veteran in USMC. He brought his Ka-bar over to my house and it still had dirt from Vietnam (1968). It had no rust. He never sharpened it either. Very impressive. We are way older than you guys, but respect your opinion. His use would be as a camp/bushcraft knife. Also I just bought a dPX HEFT Woodsman 6. Any opinion on that? I have a First Edge 5050 that US Navy Seals use. What do you think of that one? Sorry for so many questions, but I'm new to knives (1 year) and still bringing up my knowledge on fixed blades and folders. I'm an idiot that bought 90 knives in my first year. Thanks for your input. I love your channel.
It's Maarten but google translate turns my name into Martin in english so i guess I'm both haha. Both Bark River and Fallkniven are excellent choices. All the fallkniven survival blades (F1 S1 and A1) are laminated vg-10. This means the VG10 is sandwiched between a layer of softer steel. This adds flexibility to the VG-10 making it less prone to breakage.
Vg-10 is a really balanced steel. Decent edge retention, very easy to sharpen and stainless. CPM-3V can rust, holds an incredible edge but is harder to sharpen or strop. Both steels excel in their own way.
I think, as he is a older than us he can really appreciate the semi custom feel of bark river knives and being able to choose from different handle materials. CPM-3V is our current favourite steel, together with the fact that bark river has excellent handle geometry I would say go with Bark River and CPM-3V in this case. Chose one with liners in the handle if you have medium to large hands.
I don't have any experience with DPX knives but the sleipner steel is very good. It holds a good edge while still being quite easy to sharpen from what i've heard.
The First Edge has a great blade geometry. together with the Elmax steel it should make a excellent knife. Elmax is one of the better steels available in production knives at this moment. It has better edge retention than cpm-3v.
We are honoured that you value our opinion. We are young but we love what we do and we try to share what we learn.
-Stay sharp!
Great!
I use a high carbon knife to gut/skin/process various game animals and meats. the best way to prevent rust is leave some blood/ or fat on the knife when you put it in the sheath- then wash it off before you use it again
Thanks guys 👍🏼 I never heard of that particular steel before .. I love the enzo trapper and the handle materials ,for the money it's 👍🏼👍🏼 also bark river are awesome .. falkniven is 😍 I was reading some of the comments... I have a bk2 1095 .. is elmax and vg10 better for hard use , .. make more videos .. talk more 👍🏼👊🏼👊🏼
thanks mate! Elmax and Vg10 are pretty different steels. Elmax is mainly edge retention while VG10 is a balanced steel like CoS but not as good as CoS. Elmax is excellent for hard use in a smaller knife. In a big knife it might get chippy.
For knifes to learn to sharpen on I suggest a swiss
Hi Guys Mark here, after watching you stress test on the Mora Knife i got the black and green Companion and also the Garberg because its full tang, your reviews along with many others but yours especially after trying to kill it i figured you cant beat it so i figured if the non full tang can handle that beating imagine the full tang how good that would be, i dont know nothing about the different types of metal i just went according to the reviews, maybe you guys can do a video review on that topic in the future thanks guys peace out
Say Heah, What I like to do is test my conflict with Nature vs. Man. So I like to do solo's. I like people. But testing yourself has a mistique. So yeah, Lady Luck sat on my shoulder. So I bought a Fox Parang Bushcraft Jungle Knife. It has a O.D. Sheath and Attachment. I also bought a C.S. 3V Master Hunter thinking to team it with my Fox. But then I found out that Fox also made a Jungle Parang. very similar but with suttle difference. So I bought it, it came in Black instead of the O.D. Green. So actually my 3V Master Hunter will color match much better. So I got the Mora Kansbol and the Eldris in the O.D. Green. I also got a Black Eldris that I'll use as neck knives. But I also remembered I have a hardly used Benchmade CSK #156 in D2 but with serrations, But with serrations I can still make great curls making feathersticks. So that's another knife to go with my Black Fox Jungle Parang. But I also got a Mora Garberg for my Afternoon Delights when I just go out for some grilled butcher shop hot dog with mustard and onions and a can of pork and beans with coffee and a good cigar. Yeah M&M it just doesn't get any better. Unless your Afternoon Delights are different, heh heh heh,
.,,.
+paulie 4x haha thanks for sharing my friend. You made me hungry...
I agree about the solo's! I don't have time for it that often. But I also love it
Solos, seperate the Men from the boys, Yeah, a Google things can happen, So, yeah, its a Men Game.,,.
I was able to baton oak firewood with my Mora companion while camping because we didn't have an axe and it took it like a champ.
Great reviews, but 13:34 Cocobolo is not a softer wood, it has a Janka hardness rating of 2960 which is harder than most woods you will ever come across. Desert Ironwood is 3260 so not that much harder. For comparison, Black Walnut is 1010, Red Oak 1290, White oak 1350, Hickory (one of America's hardest common woods) 1820.
i think its not Cocobolo...the knifes comes with "santos wood"
Hi. I’m new to your channel. Really enjoying your channel. And I am a am a woman. 😀
this is my favourit video because it helped me get in to hunting knifes 😀 thank you
Hunting knives are my favorite. I think because of the scale. Thicker than kitchen knife, not very long and heavy...extra usable
That is some good advice for buyers. Keep up the good work :)
- Martin
Thanks! We do our best
Brothers, thanks a lot for all of your sweet talks and for all help. actually i'm really new on bushcrafting. After using mora companion for some time, as my first full tang real bushcraft knife i decided to buy an enzo trapper 95. which is not also very expensive. But now it is really hard for me to choose one of those steels. i was sure that i was going to go with "01 tool steel" bacause it is really easy to sharpen carbon steel(im also very new about sharpening with waterstones). But after watching this video, i think maybe i may go with "N690 stainles". So, i have two questions : 1. How fast does 01 rusts in a wet enviroment? 2. Is there any difference bethween the performances of two enzo trappers 01 and N690; if i get N690 do i loose any cutting capability? Again thanks for all off your effort. You helped a lot.
+baris ersoz hey baris, O1 is a great steel. It has better edge retention than n690 with the enzo Knives. Enzo does a very good heat treat on their O1. However O1 rust like crazy. It's on of the few knives i found impossible to keep without rust spots. I do love it a lot. If you go for stainless i would suggest taking a look at the elmax version. It has better edge retention than O1 and N690 and is stainless.
Hi guys, thanks for the great vid. It is very informative and in a honest way. I'm a follower of DBK a long time but I never saw some informations about a Fällkniven Northern light series. I'm from the bavarian outback (germany) and have a lot of german (steel) knives, but now I'm searching for informations about bark river, fällkniven pro series or tre kroner or NL-series and it is very hard to make a decission. thanks for your good looking vids.
Greets from bavaria,
phil
Guten Tag Phil!,
thanks for the compliment. We have looked at the fallkniven Northern light series but they are just more fancy looking f1, s1 and a1's. The look more appealing but the handle material isn't care free. The handle takes blood, dirt and stuff like that much more easily. Some people like the worn look but for us it was the reason to stick with the regular ones. The TK2 just doesn't really appeal to me. It must be a good hunting knife from what i've heard though.
Good luck with making your hard decision!
Subbed and Liked. I really Like your Bark River videos.
The really great thing about Moras is that it doesnt even matter if they do break, I mean, they rarely do but its not like you've killed your $300 knife
exactly!
Holy smoke.
In yet another eBay bidding moment of craziness, for a good price, I bought a mint 'Busse' Anniversary Straight Handle Battle Mistress. I went in relatively blind and have no idea about
Busse...but It would seem to be like an American muscle car of knives. I've handled it and it's a big beefy 11.5inch blade in full flat grind in INFI steel with a full tang G10 handle. I'm sure you guys know. It came with an Azwelke sheath.
Would you guys like to do an assessment of it?
haha that's a bloody sword mate. Busse is kinda hard to get here in the Netherlands. I would like to try INFI steel because I haven't had it yet but the Busse' Anniversary Straight Handle Battle Mistress is too big for our use. It should make a very sturdy survival blade for sure.
-stay sharp!
Yeah true the Busse is a bit big and heavy, but I thought I'd try it because I live in the sub tropics and out of necessity some of my main heavy users are an old military Martindale Golok, a Svord Golok and a special type of big Australian cane machete. It'll be interesting to see how the Busse performs.
Keep up the great work. Cheers!
keithmckeith Nice! I really like goloks. They are very capable choppers. Thanks a lot mate!
Nice sellection of knives guys. My most used knive is the Mora Companion, this is just incredible for all kind of cutting tasks.
I just bought the Boker Terra Africa Outdoor and I can recommend this one also. As phase-out model it is now in the 100+ Euro range.
Maybe you can talk a little bit more about the blade length and thickness.
Regards EM
We'll check the knife out!
Maybe we'll expand a bit more in a new video soon. We just tested out the mora garberg and that knife is incredible. If you like the mora companion you'll probably marry the mora garberg!
Cheers man
which knife would you trust your life(ves) with? Thanks as always for your videos.
Great video dudes. Still using my mini aurora in cpm3v. Still sharp as hell. Keep the videos coming.
would love to have my hands on that mini aurora. I am a big fan of my regular aurora.
thanks a lot for the compliment mate! we appreciate it!
Hey Guys, I really enjoy your videos.
thanls a lot mate!
I bought the Extrema Ratio Giant Mamba..I feel like a bushcrafting Ninja 😜 it's a handsome thing! but ill stick with the Fällkniven f1 Elmax or my RL34 Arizona iron wood Custom because I'm a knife snob 😁 I blame you guys for my collection ! showing me all those lovely shiny sharp things of awesome beauty..but i hold no grudge👍 the girlfriend dose ! but not me 🙃🤪😜
at First i was Like i wont pay more than 60€ 1 yr later i spend 3k life is funny 😂
INDEED it is funny. We may start to chase a dream and full speed ahead, engines be damned!
If you love bark river knives i wonder if you have tried the blackjack knives. Made in the bark river factory but quite different styling.
I have looked at them. they are more hunting style knives. I would love to own one but it would sit in my drawer for most of it's life I think. Might get one in the future because some of them use steels I don't have yet hehe.
great job guys
If you have a types of steel video can u direct me to it please. Excellent commentary, when the shouting stops but great entertainment, and you can learn a lot but u gotta listen awful hard.
Did you guys ever try the Casstrom knives? They seem amazing.
+mermaniel not yet!
mermaniel just bought one this week and it's absolutely amazing. So far anyway.
I will be buying more bark river knives, I have two so far and love the quality of them. I have listened to your recommendations regarding the steel choice and unfortunately some of the particular knives they dont give you a choice on the steel choice, the Bark River Knives: Phoenix II for instance only comes in 1095 steel :(
That was only because the repiutation of the company was good, but they didnt offer any models in 1095 so they developed the Phoenix series to supply 1095 lovers with Barkies
Could you do review of the roselli UHC Carpenter knife or UHC Hunting knife. I would love to know is that knife worth to buy to my go to Bushcrafting knife. Thanks
Yeah, i totally agree. That knives are absolutely awesome and i would love to the how they compare in a typical dbk video.
Thanks guys. Great video.
Wow, was this before the boys tested a Garberg?
I'm currently looking for the perfect camping/survival knife for me and it's really difficult haha. There are so many choices it's not easy to find THE perfect blade. Moras are all over the place when you're looking for a knife and I'm still not sure if I should rely on one of those for survival. Something is telling me that their price is too good to be true and that I need to pay more for something way better. I want to buy one knife and then use that one for everything, for the rest of time (hopefully). So I'm willing to spend a bit of money, but forget about 400$+ knives, those are unfortunately out of my league. My max would be 160$-180$, but at that price I wonder if the knife that I would get would be better than the Mora Bushcraft Black for example and justify a higher price tag.
Oliver's World in that price range I would personally choose the Becker BK2 or the Mora Garberg
Awesome review guys. Just subbed. I'm just about to drop some good money on a high end knife. Been collecting for a while, mostly lower end edcs and I have my Moras. I'm from Canada, and the price differences are quite different. You should check out some Cosmo knives. He's a Canadian who makes some really nice knives. Pretty pricey though. But I learned a lot and am probably going with a Bark River. Cheers
Wow yea we checked them out! we'll see what we can do to get one or two!
A good channel should always be only good comments I wish you all the best, my wonderful friend Our like # 235
Thanks a lot!
You guys have any recommendation for a small EDC fixed blade? Bark River I'm guessing? I'm not concerned about the sheath as I would likely make my own.
Great videos. Loved the Robust destruction. What a knife!
I like the bark river bravo EDC or little creek in cpm3v. If you are in the EU you could also check out Patriot Manly. It's very inexpensive.
Ya know. I use an Ontario SP2 and with a convex grind it works fine for me
Another awesome video!!
Great video, keep up the good work ! Where do you buy your knives ?
its unbelievable.......(remember that Song Englisssshh)... Great Channel by the way (Ps. im born/grown up) just a stone cast from Fällkniven in SwÄden :) pss. now i have TWO blade channels :) (Blade HQ & U)
Awesome! Thanks a lot! We have been in boden, Sweden last winter. It was beautiful there! Fallkniven is awesome
@@DutchBushcraftKnivesBoden....NIIIICE men :))
Your english is like the one from native speakers. How does it come?
I know that most of the dutch people speak english (nearly perfect).
Beside of that: extremely informative video!
Hey thanks a lot! I actually learned English from playing online games as a kid haha. Mikkie was raised bilingual. English lessons begin in 5th grade of pre school here as well so everyone can speak basic English Here at least
Great video and info love Fallkniven also after some of your tests and vids I ordered an EnZo Elmax great price and knife :D Also did you guys ever look into eickhorn-solingen or have any experience ? Have been scouting some of those knifes and seen some insane tests and performance.
Thanks a lot mate! I hope the EnZo will serve you for a long time. The only eikhorn I have is this old german dagger www.legacy-collectibles.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/b/_/b_055_6_2.jpg
Not planning on testing it though haha. Their modern knives look kinda odd from what i've seen but they have a lot of years of experience so I wouldn't be surprised if their performance is awesome.
What is a good way to determine/learn what steels to go with for a survival knife/bushcraft I've got a few model moras I love them besides they don't all have a 90* edge on spine. But I'm looking for a one tool knife option long term that is great for the majority of tasks I know there is no such thing as the perfect knife that does it all but I would rather get a really quality one next versus 10 more okay quality...... I hate to admit it but my esse I had much higher hopes for but just striking a ferro rod on the grinned spine it gets nicks after just a few strikes.. may be good for other stuff but I like the full tang and thickness of blade something like the esse 4 with a better steel spine that can take many ferro strikes and I'd be happy
Awsome channel guys, enjoy every video I have seen! Can you guys review the TBS Grizzly? Thanks in advance and GREAT job on the channel.
Thanks a lot! We only have a TBS Boar but the handle came loose after 1 time use so im not very happy with it
don't hate esee; they're good People and have set the bar for costumer service and warrenty in the industry :-) Great vid and can't wait to see #2. I just made a 50cm strop and it makes stropping so much easier. Do you already have a vid about convex sharpening on a stone? If not, can you recommend or make one? Cheers.
Hey Michiel, I don't hate Esee as a company but I really don't understand 1095 @ 55-56HRC on their smaller knives. They just don't hold an edge in a normal edge geometry. I would understand this hardness on large choppers as they need a lot of flexibility.
We don't have a video where we really explain how to sharpen or make a convex edge. I would suggest watching some of virtuovice his videos. In this video I make a secondary convex on a kitchen knife and some regular convex sharpening some outdoor knives ruclips.net/video/zA0SOclSVrc/видео.html
