    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!

      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.

    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.

    • @visin8984

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

      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.

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.

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.

    I figured I might add my opinion on using a fire steel.

Just a little tip no one asked for 😂

    actualy you can scrape a fire steel with an axe. use the the edge on the corners to scrape the fire stick. fire steel will dull the axe a little but not that mutch and in the corners it's not as important to keep it sharp. you still have the rest of the edge for your precision cutting and for chopping well it's an axe it don't have to be sharp to actualy chop anything becaus of the mass and the long handle wich converts little power in to a fuck ton of force on a small edge

    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.

    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

    you can scrape a firesteel with an axe, just keep the axe steady and pull the firesteel across the edge. Works fine for me

    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.

  • @jschiek8054
    @jschiek8054 2 года назад

    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.

    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.

  • @Vinyl389
    @Vinyl389 7 лет назад

    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.

    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.

    • @DutchBushcraftKnives
      @DutchBushcraftKnives  7 лет назад

      +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 forged a knife that can chop down a 20 cm tree as well as do fine work like carving notches ;)
    That being said, always use the proper tool for the job you want to do, so I carry both knives and my ax into the forest...
