      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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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..."

    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.

      It should be called rust ressistant. Not stainless. There are diff types of stainless. You have rust resistant that is resistant to rust but will rust if u leave it in ex salt water or in regular water. Elmax is a stainless steel but it rusts after a while. Then u have acidproof steel. A4 and so on. This steel is used for maritime use. Screws and bolts is usualy made of these. Then u have the semisteel. It have some kind of rustressistance but yes. Alla steel rust. With time and missuse . :) so the term stainless is a false term but a knife that say stainless on will have a hard time to rust. :)

    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.

    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?

    • @DutchBushcraftKnives
      @DutchBushcraftKnives  6 лет назад

      +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

    Hey Dutch Bushcraft Knives, when will you have more fire steels available? I was looking to get a good one and was going to get one from black sheep or cabelas but watching your videos I really want one of your fire steels, they look like they work a little better than store bought ones.

    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!

      @DutchBushcraftKnives  6 лет назад +1

      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.

    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.

    ANY time someone tells you that you should never baton with a knife, ask them, well then, should you baton with a froe? They invariably will say yes because they are morons. A froe, in essence, is a KNIFE with a 90 degree handle. WHAT?? Say it is not so! Oh, and I renamed this video. It should be 10 things people say about knives that makes Mikie B mad!

    So I recently purchased a Barkriver Bravo 2 in CPM3v ... I did some battoning with it .. what is the best way to clean the blade ?? I’m having a hard time getting the sap and residue off the blade ... any help or advice would be appreciated.

    • @suzannephelps7780
      @suzannephelps7780 6 лет назад

    What do you guys think of the Apex Edge pro sharpening system?

  • @ChrisC.Astrology
    @ChrisC.Astrology 6 лет назад +1

    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.

    • @martinerhard8447
      @martinerhard8447 6 лет назад

      Usually carbon steel is better for edge retention than stainless.
      And you can use other rocks instead of flint if they are hard enough

    I have a question: is the 440c steel any good, for a budget knive?

    • @charlie__w307
      @charlie__w307 6 лет назад

      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.

    • @Wolf_K
