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 why dont yiu guys use reclams on your videos?
you will be rich if u do that man
SMILETAPPER what actually reclams you mean?
Do you mean advertisements? We do have advertisements on our video!
Oh yeah, now I see it ;D but I didnt get advertisement on 5 of ur videos so thats luck or so?
with luck i mean toeval hehe ik ben ook nl ;D
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
the Dutch apperantly have better drugs

I'm officially adopting that phrase into my active vocabulary...."pooping without force."

Two different answers. Thank you. Time to do my own work and use a translator XD
"poepen zonder geweld"?
@@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
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.
Heki Kahni was thinking the same thing lol
Heki Kahni haha that would be hilarious :D
😂cool idea
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.
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.
I think I'd cry if my guard came loose.
Don't worry, Fallkniven replaces it for free and you get a newer and better version!

The best thing is that the best knife, the best axe and the best outdoor clothes are made in Sweden 😃🏆
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.
@@profd65 Exactly! And for axes i'd comfortably take a Woodcraft Pack axe from Council Tool (its North Carolina though so not PN).
I would choose an axe over a knife.If you keep your axe sharp you can pretty much do everything. Awesome vid as always ;-)
Vice versa

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.
I'm trying to figure out why they believe an axe won't work on a ferro rod...
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.
I wouldn't go out into the forest without both. Both are necessary and they complement each other.
Wise words, I completely agree.
Exactly!!!
Definitely
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 mean complement each other :-p
Not compliment.
In America we call that a hatchet versus every day carry

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

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 😂
Where is the machete love? 😔
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
Err, in the jungles and dense brush where they belong, not European forests....
You've got a good point they can do the things a axe and a knife can do in 1
I would love to see a review of the Morakniv Carpentry Chisel. This is my first Mora and I'm in love.
I can use a fire steel with my ax, use a file and make some sharp edges on the top or on the pole
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.
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

Axe always. Capable for much more and you can do a lot of precise work with it just like with knife.
You guys are just so awesome! cheers from Sweden
thanks a lot!
I like using my Cold Steel Viking Hand Axe! Light and fast with a long handle!
5:07 Top right hand corner! Deer!
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
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!
+Nikki Reese thanks a lot Nikki,!
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. 😃👍
Great vid! In my opinion they are both excellent tools and I would take both into the woods anytime :)
What are you doing in the woods???

you can scrape a firesteel with an axe, just keep the axe steady and pull the firesteel across the edge. Works fine for me
anyone else find themselves watching this when really stoned?

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.
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
You guys are the Future of Knife reviews !!! I ❤️ DBK !!!!!!!!!
haha thanks a lot my friend!
I think of the experience I had I would choose a smal axe, I just find it to be more versatile.
Fredrik Bergälv Same
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.
Axe lovers: Why don't you just use an axe?
DBK: Because we like knives.
Axe lovers: But, an axe is far more effective at cutting down large trees and... well, it's good at cutting down large trees.
DBK: We like knives.
Well played DBK, well played.
was waiting for this ;)
Btw what's the best knife for under 50Dollars plz someone reply
Rooftop Adrenaline Mora
yea definitely Mora!
real steel bushcraft 2 is great too
Terävä Jääkäripuukko 110, carbon steel
And just about 8 dollars more for Terävä Skrama, carbon steel
well just got my first bushcraft knife and also found a old hatchet in the shed all rusty but good handle, so restoring that, and have a mora companion for bushcraft aswell :)
+water666 awesome!
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
dbk so do a test with a bigger blade for example the senegal against a Scandinavian forest axe?
This video was an odd comparison. Should have been the A1 vs Wildlife Hatchet or a 10in chopper vs the SFA.
u guys are so funny, love your spirit, humour, and the presentation
I feel like I'm doing shrooms by watching this
U arnt, they are
Long handle small tomahawk and a 4.5" fixed blade are the best combo for lightweight back packing. Add a foldable saw if you want but not necessary. I really like big badass fixed blades but never use them. And you also get a hammer with your tomahawk
Nederland !!! Beste jongens ooit
did you guys forget the video you made about the Hultafors Axe? that one feathersticks just like a knife... which you carry on the side
I can use a firesteel with my axe
Me too
Shut up axe lover
Y'all's channel is growing insanely fast! That's, what, 20k just this month?
Fallkniven and Gransfors Bruk, two superior tools.
sure thing mate!
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.
you guys are so good looking and informational 😭😭
will you be my friend?

Me too, pls tell us!
I think it would be a great addition to your videos if you mention what kind of wood you are cutting. It may also be cool to learn about some of the types of woods that grow in your part of the world.
You can't scrape a fire steel with an axe?
Ty Doram that's exactly what I was thinking.
I scrape my firesteel with a tomahawk all the time, it doesn't know the difference! Big, crackling gobs of sparks,
That was just a dumb comment on their side tbh
I have a council tool woodcraft and it’s made to scrape a Firesteel.

I'd go for the axe if it came with a hip scabbard that I'm used to. Knives are great too!
You can definitely use an axe to start a fire and splitting with a knife that size would be nearly impossible without the use of a baton which usually isn't too much of a problem. I'd just pick up a suitable stick but the fancy mallet style baton you use would obliviously have to be crafted before being able to chop down a small tree such as the ones you were. So that's something to take into consideration. But loved the video! :)
Love you guys, love your channel, love the quality of the videos---it's a love fest over here and my whole family is working on "pooping without force"...-Hahahaha. We watch this channel together and think you two are hilarious together yet informative. I bought a Fallkniven S1 pro because of your review.

Use the right tool for the right job. With a hatchet, small knife and folding saw, you can do most things.

Like you say batoning is a great way to maintain control of what you are doing, however you can baton an axe just aswell as a knife so "safety" isnt really a valid reason reason to baton a knife in my opinion. That being said I baton knives all the time. It's simple and fast and saves my axe from hitting dirt potentially damaging the edge. Its also by far the easiest way to break up wood in to splinters for firestarting. Oh and lets not forget "fun". I think its alot of fun to experiment with various loadouts for my excursions. Practical or not.
+TheKimjoh560 fun is the most important part of it all!
Grsnsfors does recommend not to hit the back of the axe as it could deform the eye where the handle is fitted. I used mine as a hammer multiple times though haha.
I feel like a Kukri knife would be the golden mean between an axe and a knife. I'd love to see you guys do a video on a Kukri and give your opinion on it. Cheers!
You guys are awesome!!the majority of the best english woodsmen/survival/bushcraft channels doesn't come from US and half of them doesn't even come from country who speak english! Lol you guys rock keep on your funny vids!

You guys are the best An need to keep making more videos love them
we sure will! thanks a lot!
*No trees where harmed during the making of this video*
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.
Axe all day any day. You can get an axe sharp enough to do the majority of what a knife does but even the sharpest knife can’t do what an axe can do.
you guys deserve more subscribers!! love your video's!!
+horrorhouse16 thanks a lot!
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
I love your Channel it is hilarious and very informative keep up the good work.
Great vids but you are using a hatchet instead of an axe the longer handle makes a great difference. Would like to see the axe in a different video too. Thanks for the videos.
The skinny guy looks like he is about 5 blunts deep, or maybe 5 spliffs in since they are in Europe?
Bonjour So which one is the best ?
Wonderful vid!
I was wondering if you folks have experimented with kukri's or bolo's? They have the quality of being both a serviceable knife and a hatchet in one tool. I have the Becker BK21, which is a very modernized kukri and it's pretty versatile. I also have a Tops Bushcrafter Kukuri which is smaller and more manageable for smaller stuff. I think you guys might get a kick trying them out. :-)
Regardless, thanks for the vid. You guys are on my "stuff to do on Thursdays" list. :-)
You guys are awesome, keep it up! Great editing also!
An axe can build a house and everything in it.
Council tool woodcraft pack axe, would be a better option if you’re looking to scrape a fire steel
you can light a fire with fire steel and a axe? put the axe flat on a log and draw the fire steel back?
+Eric Pinbreaker it can be done with the edge but that would hospitalise me. I'd have to spend the rest of my days in a home for mental people
