It's no secret we like benchmade. We've been a big fan of the Benchmade Leuku and Puuko and of course the Bugout. So naturally when they have something new... we'd love to check it out. But our main focus is always honesty. the good and the bad. Recently benchmade launched their anonimus and labeled it as a survival and bushcraft knife. Something we'll have to see for ourselves of course. So today we put the Anonimus through its paces.

What happend to the old days with stories and testing fx malanika lars falt falkniven and bark river we need the stories the stories try it agian just ones and se what happens
Man, NordVPN should pay you twice the price just because that commercial was the most entertaining I saw in like 20 years.
Ak chcem zaplatiť 272 EUR za nôž nepredstavujem si rúčku čo ma zraní a čepeľ čo pri silovom rezaní má malí výkon. Nie je ani na ťažké práce pretože je ľahký a tenký.
The best nord ad I've ever seen lmao
To my knowledge its also designed for "tactical discretion", thin for a low profile and the guard is there to keep your hand from sliding onto the blade when stabbing from an icepick grip. Its a security for the fingers, many who look for military use in their knives tend to want a knife that wont "bite" them in a close quarters skirmish. Common everyday clothing offers more piercing resistance than most assume. This is why daggers where preferred by shock troopers such as the Arditi because they had a dedicated stabbing point specifically to increase the chances of getting through jackets, vests, armor etc. They all(daggers) had cross guards specifically to prevent overpenetration(without a guard overpenetration can make the blade hard to retrieve in the middle of combat) and to give the hand a brace and guard to keep their hands from sliding up the blade when the fabric is relatively resistant to piercing and cuts(Silk is notorious for it and it was often used in layered armor specifically because of this). Essentially if fabric pushes back you will be glad you had that barrier to not only protect you but to help apply more pressure without increased risk of losing your fingers to your own knife. This isnt a dagger obviously but neither is "the KABAR" yet it has the same feature for the same reasons and it is not uncommon on combat, survival and war knives to have a guard just like this though they often only use the single guard rather than the crossguard specifically for more comfort doing camp tasks which in certain branches of the military you will be using bushcrafting and general survival skills. So having a blade that has a built in barrier to protect the user from slicing up their fingers during combat or generally in the field is often preferred. Many much older knives and daggers did this too for the exact same reason, user safety and practicality in a fight.
Im not into "Tacticool" stuff or mall ninja stuff, I just grew up loving historical swords/swordsmanship/martial arts and shifted to knives. There is a book done by a man named Fairbairn who taught a number of Allied countries soldiers during WW1 and WW2 in knife and hand to hand combat. His art and philosophy is known by two names, "gutter fighting" and "Defendu"(No Im not joking), his methods were for lack of a better word, merciless. You may have seen the dagger known as the "Fairbairn Sykes" dagger and that is the same Fairbairn who wrote the books and that blade he co-designed for the war. That Knife also has a crossguard because even with a finer point the blade could still struggle to stab through heavy wool or thick leather and the guard is there to better ensure the weapon is not a danger to the wielder. A commando whos fingers are ribbons after their hand slid up the slick handle on a stab is going to struggle to use his rifle or hold any weapon so those little guards are there to prevent that.
TLDR:
1. The guard is for user safety in combat/stabbing tasks, this is why the KABAR has it and same for most historical and modern daggers.
2. Anonimus is likely referring to its "low profile" making it easier to conceal and carry
3. Most Benchmades are to some extent modern tactical/survival hence "anything you can throw at it" includes combat and sliced fingers on your own blade is extremely inconvenient especially if the knife failed to penetrate the clothing/armor of the person you have now sufficiently pissed off with your attempted attack.
Side note: Heard you guys once call the fuller a "blood groove", thats actually an urban myth, its called a fuller and has been used for a long time as a means of lightening the blade in a controlled manner without compromising the blades integrity and also adjusting the balance, it has been used in machetes, daggers and swords for a very long time. It has nothing to do with pressure, suction or the blade getting stuck in the target. It can and is used to shift the weight of the blade further towards the point for better chopping tasks depending on the location and depth of the fuller or it is used like in some of the old MK2 US fighters(not all were made by Kabar and there were multiple versions of the MK2, the USMC version is just the one most people are familiar with) with the fuller being much larger but less deep to give it a more uniform lightweight balance for better agility in the hand. I believe the the fuller is as a functional(not just aesthetic) feature that is at least as old as medieval times.
Thanks for doing a vid on this knife, I was very curious about it as I love the Adamas but wanted something with a handle and not just a skeleton style blade.
Great info man, if you wrote a book I would read it!!
He did write a book. It was shit. No one cares. Also no one asked. Can he just stfu?
Great to read there's more people more into the history of knives and know their stuff. I agree with all you say and it makes sense Benchmade had this in mind. It still does not explain the jimping but that's more a fashion thing to give it a bushcraft look. I personally HATE jimping. I can live with a very mild jimping but agressive jimping is a big NO for me. I have no experience with this steel and for this price I probably won't. The handle probably has a little to much texture for prolonged use cutting wood but the traction again helps when stabbing. So indeed more a do it all 'soldiers' knife and in that role (and besides the jimping) it all makes sense.
I agree with your assessment, though I wonder why this knife is being advertised as a "survival/wilderness" knife by Benchmade when it clearly isn't designed to be one. I wish they would give the adamas a good and proper handle too, rather than having to weave paracord on it.
Solid read
I paid $261 for the Benchmade Anonimus. The ferro rod striker seems to work well for me. The blade is really thin and cuts very well. The screws holding the belt loop and sheath together came loose on my after carrying it but screw fell in my pocket. I will be using threadlocker on mine. So far I am liking it a lot. Thank you for another enjoyable video.
The best thing about your channel is the friendship you two have :)
you know you're a good knife reviewer when benchmade respects you and asks you for advice.
Except when they apparently don’t listen to said advice lol.
This video highlights two really important points.1) Buy a knife that meets your specific needs - the Anonimus isn't a dedicated bush/wood/survival knife. Yes it can do these things but it also has a military/tactical focus which influences the design. This is why is performed well in some of the tasks & not so good in others. As a military field knife this would be excellent. 2) It's not just about the steel but also the heat treat and edge treatment. CruWear is a great steel and Benchmade have extracted the best from it.
Nope it is typical bushcraft knive.
@@jimlahey5623 oh and you know all, right?
@@Japlonewolf57?
I personally want to thank Martin for gracefully taking the egg to the face. I would have been unhappy but he seemed to take it in the spirit of the goofy quality of this show, and it made me laugh while still thinking that I would not have reacted so well. Both of you actually do a lot to keep things light-hearted and entertaining as well as informative and full of discussion. It's a great balance.
Regarding the knife, I have some issue with the half guard being there, as well. I have a knife of a similar design and the guard gives me confidence for push cutting away from myself but not for cutting on a cutting board as you mentioned. I am surprised at the notion that the choil is intended for fire starting, why not just use the spine? Choils seem more for providing access to the edge for sharpening and sometimes as a place for your forefinger when choking up on the blade for fine work. But Martin had superior technique ideas so maybe there's merit to this use with a firesteel.
As much as jimping impairs some kinds of grips, I think it really can improve others, especially when your hands are wet. Perhaps it's terrible for bushcrafting but good for other kinds of knife use such as skinning and food prep.
I love my Anonimus, I use it as a fighting/survival knife. I’m a law enforcement officer, in a custom sheet inside my body armor while on duty.
I actually love the finger guard. That maybe a little exaggerated but it’s a selling point for me.
same, I've been a dedicated camper/hiker for all my life and no joke, I've never carried more than a multi tool and a folding knife. I've never gone out of my way to find a quality brand, fixed blade or otherwise.
so technically, this is me doing research for my first decent fixed blade, and I'm honestly a little worried I'm gonna slice my finger for being a moron somehow. so that finger guard is looking great to me too. if anyone has any general use knife suggestions for under $250-300 , that can take a goddamn beating (because I promise I will not take care of the knife like an enthusiast would) please let me know.
the world of knives is getting real complicated, real quick.
You guys are a riot. I’ve been using the Benchmade Bushcrafter 162 for a few years and love it.
I’m from Mexico and I love you channel guys. Because I love knifes
Egg is never wack, but Benchmade is sometimes. This model is not their best. I love your videos guys. My favorite RUclips channel.
well that settles it, I'll be using the willy technique from here on out, thank you DBK
I think that this video is an honest opinion about the new Bench. I personally love the steel, hate the handle, expecially the guard. The truth is that i won't buy it, because of that guard. Thanks for the riview guys!! Marteen's head will stinks forever, because of that egg!!
Hopefully not, i hug him every week😲
If I saw that knife in a display case I wouldn’t even asked to see it because of that ridiculous hanging dick guard. That’s an indication of serious monkey thinking at Benchmade
My wife got me this knife, and i love it! I have been carrying it with the belt loop removed in my front right pocket for a few weeks now.
I would call it a tactical knife more than a bushcraft knife...it reminds me of the Nimravus.
Nope, it is typica bushcraft knive
@DTL lol. Guard is good, jimping too
I’m very very disappointed that the Nimravus was discontinued. Such an incredible knife.
@@originsmaster8140 what i have learned as a collector is that if you see a knife once it’s released you better buy it. I have at least 10 knives in my collection that i have tried to duplicate and they all are discontinued. Yes i have the Nimravus. It’s amazing
@@SurvivaLust I had thought I found one but after ordering it twice and the order getting cancelled twice, I gave up. I did get the new Presidio II from Benchmade for $95 which I thought was a steal considering it’s $180.
6:07 Virtuovice is the man! Fantastic teacher.
When Mikkie got burned by an ember I like how the Dutch comes out in a genuine reaction
I bought a knife recently from Tools For Gents, and it came with a bunch of DBK stickers. But when I looked the knife up I noticed you had not done a video on it. I’ve used it several times now and I do love it. It’s the Fox FX-140XL. Anyway I was just disappointed not to find a video by you guys on this knife.
It's probably because Gudy Van Poppel is a good friend of Maarten's.
hey guys! nice to see you again. I agree, that guard is too long for practical uses and the jimping is something that i don't understand. But the big problem is the price... 320€ or just around that price is too much for an industrial knife for me. You can pay similar prices for very high level artisanal knifes. So... for me is a NO definitly.
Hope to see you soon with a new video!
10 out of 10 for egg. Great endorsement
We come for the knives, we stay for Mickie laughing!
HECK YEA ! That was off Corporals Corner. Corporal Kelley is a bad ass !
If you like Benchmade, you have to test their Hunter series (like the hidden canyon, wich is one of the best-looking blade out there). S90V is a badass steel and there are not so many knives with it, and it may be the best overall for processing animals. Butt in order to do so, you may have to butcher a boar or a deer. Now that would add a lot of interest to your channel. And speaking of hunting, Dawson make a ton of supersteel knives worth speaking about.
NordVPN needs to use your ad for every commercial they do! Only VPN software commercial I've actually watched and been entertained by.
I ordered this knife few weeks ago. Can't wait to test it out.
Looks like a Bk16 manufactured by Benchmade.
My thoughts exactly.
Love your videos, not only because I love knives but they are pretty funny and remind me of NL, where I lived as a kid. We all moved to the U.S. when I was seven.
4:50 🤣 LMAO Thanks for making me smile, you guys are the best.
Most fun review channel out there! Thanks for the great video
Got a DULO Leuku in VANADIS 4E and a DULO Pukko in laminated K390 and absolutely love them
Hey Joel, I love the dulo knife I bought
@@jenkinsmig finally got her in huh? I ordered a Dulo kitchen chopped in K390 and an Aaro Pukko. Can’t wait. That will be five and six.😁 knew you’d love it
Dulo will probably have a year or 2 waiting list I guess.. Please,When did you get those knives and how long did you wait?
@@greekveteran2715 average seven months has been my experience
@@greekveteran2715 have been ordering for the past three years
Booo I missed it!!! :( Love you guys!!!
I really like that you are experimenting with different music since some time now!
I saw a RUclips video about a Fallkniven F1X in Elmax. Does anyone know anything about this?
I own one that I know :D
@@DutchBushcraftKnives Have they been released to the public?
Came for the knife reviews; stayed for the filmmaking. Thanks, guys; beauty.
That log stove is cool
I asked Dulo knives to make a DBK knife that I could buy. It won't come till I turn 56, but I'm going to enjoy it all the same as you, my young Dutch uncles!
Yet another brilliant vid guys even wore my knives and tools sox and cap from the knife exhibition Martin was at
hahahaha nice!
For bush craft/camping seems like a good, but expensive option. I'd want it to be thicker if intended as a true survival type knife personally, but perhaps that "super steel" is plenty tough at that width.
I think Spyderco makes knives, like the Waterway or Perrin Street Bowie, that’ll do everything this knife does better and for less money. The LC200N and VG-10 won’t hold an edge as long, but they’ll cut really aggressively for a bit with a nice coarse edge and have their own advantages over Cru-wear. LC200N is particularly tough despite being practically immune to rust.
There’s also some discontinued and upcoming Spyderco’s that would be competitive if available now.
It would be cool to see the DBK boys review a LC200N knife like the waterway.
I loved the leuku, curious if this does well as well. Hopefully their Cru-wear is better than Bark River’s
Benchmades heat treatment is perfect, where Bark River's....suck...
Just curious I know this is a sore subject but what makes you say that brk heat treat is no good not saying that because I agree or disagree just collecting others opinion and experience for my own gain lol
Yeah, the puuko version was nice but the heat treat for the 3V was soft but the leuko seemed to have fixed the heat treat issue and the blade geo is something special how the grind tapers. Looks like a brilliant cutter also those handles are under rated despite being budget. From a purely practical POV those synthetic rubber type handles are superior to typical hard materials like G10.
I think its a brilliant knife. If I didn't already have several knives in that class I would choose it over just about anything as a user fixed blade for general outdoor use.
Benchmade's CruWear heat treat is amazing. Be cool if they ran the Leuku in CruWear
@@Piersoloutdoors I own both a Benchmade 202 Leuku and a Bark River Aurora in 3V, the cru-wear. The cru-wear holds an edge about the same as the 3V, which makes paying for it as an upgrade over Bark River’s 3v kind of pointless. It could be seen as a minor downgrade as you also give up some toughness. (Unless you prefer Cru Wear for sharpening reasons). I may be blaspheming here, But I actually like the leuku better than the Aurora at the moment. I like the handle better, as well as the weight ( I was dumb and got an aurora in G10).
I didn’t see the willy technique before, I need to try this
I like this knife . I was playing around with it at Dicks Sporting Goods. I liked the knife
Warning be sure to put some Loctite blue to each of the Philips fasteners holding the belt loop before heading out for the first time! Mine came loose from the factory and I lost one fastener with the second screw very loose while in the field on the first day out! Cheers, #SeattleRingHunter
Great video guys, thank you for sharing.
6:40 does look a bit painful 😁
big DBK fan here.
knife fighter who lives in a foresty province.
when we slash on forearms, biceps and triceps
we often hit bone(ulna, radius, humerous) and it yanks the knife back causing discomfort and messes the slash angle
lifechanging SUGGESTION:
pls. put your right thumb on top of the spine of the blade
helps give more leverage and less pain
we use the same technique when carving hardwood in the forest.
American knifemaker Michael Janich likes the grip as well. he mentions it
4mins 7seconds
on his video:
"Spyderco Designer Spotlight - Michael Janich"
although he only discusses the combat use of the grip technique
Can you guys please review the glock knife? It’s cheap and affordable and indestructible knife.
Just bought the jaakaripukko at the recommendation of DBK, I think this might be next on my list. Depending on how it does.
I did the same. but the game is always changing grrr ELMAX on the list of wants
@@Bushmen918 elmax is a beast for sure.
Hello from Scotland
Im just happy you can get a mass production knife this tough this thin size
The first thing I thought when I saw this knife was, “holy finger guard Batman!”. There is no logical reason for the finger guard to be that long, not even for tactical reasons. Whoever made the decision to make it twice the size it needed to be should have their kneecaps tickled.
I cackled at “deserves to have their kneecaps tickled
@@icantevenitsmitchell7417 tried to keep it PG lol
I thinks it a good thing, you can grind it down to size if you don't like it or just leave it
Had me going for a bit with that opening!! Good video guys!
... that has to be the best NordVPN ad I've seen.
I like your swedish torch, you could try some other ways to in the next vid
ps you guys should make some videos on different knife modifications...
U guys are couple good balls but u do great job reviewing knifes love your vids , just subscribed . Keep them up
Love this channel and really enjoy the episodes when you'll do some cooking you'll should make an overnight in the tent episode maybe a fishing catch and cook or an air rifle bird hunt and cook still doesn't really matter this channel has always been balls to the wall good now to get my hands on that bloody dbk knive...
This week, I asked Dulo knives to make me DBK knife in CPM Magnacut
Great job guys. Love your vids!
Could you guys try the hidden canyon hunter? Also a benchmade. Can't believe I haven't found this channel sooner
If you didn't know it was a benchmade you would think it was some guy's first attempt to make a knife in his garage. I absolutely hate the look of it especially that guard.
11:48 real friend.:D
I was interested in this one, but that price is too steep compared to other blades out there, for that performance. I'd take a Mora Garberg Carbon into the woods over this any day.
I got mine for $200 flat shipped
@@argentinodelavillacomerata2399 Sounds better 👍
I Love that Japanese guys knife channel, hello Knife People! Good vid guuuuuuuuuys!
I loved the rocket stove. Gotta get a augur. Had to edit my comment when Mikki cracked Martin in the face with an egg! Haha
I would love it if you would test V Nives Olympian
Liked the auger - where was that from? Any brands to recommend or avoid?
Another great video, guys. Keep up the good work!
Great episode as always, guys 👍😆
Where can I get that drill?
maybe search for bushcraft auger or something
Love the log stove
I'm glad you gave a shout out to Corporals Corner's channel but you did just say Corporals instead of the full name. His channel is my favorite for bushcraft and survival skills.
I like that dragonball music when there saying there prices to win.
Loved the thigh shaving clip!
This channel takes a niche and makes it even more absurd than it needs to be. I’m here for it.
“Willy technique” 😂
Good job 👍
Oh man. So Funny! I love your videos… I was thinking about this knife but idk? I love my cpm 3V. I am so going to try the Willy technique next time I build a fire
Definitely getting the 2yr plan from Nord...thanks guys
The latest Bark River Bravo Vortex is kick ass.
Will you do a video on the fällkniven in elmax?
I love Cruwear. Where’d you guys get that auger drill?
From someone who is into that knife stuff since 35 years. Starting with my first Survival Knife, the one with the compass bubble on top of the handle or the Jungle Kings, the crocodile Dundee Bowie, the Rambo Knife in my teenage years to a small collection of premium quality and semi-customs fixed & folders today. Frankly spoken I never had the heart to take a knife more expensive than 100 bucks for heavier tasks. They are just good enough and replaceable without pain. I like to cut bread, bagels, fruit and meat with one of my 300 € supersteel blades, some rope, cables or cardboard. But when it comes to tasks that may leave marks on steel or coating or even may damage it, I prefer my 30 € Mora or the Garberg outmost. So of course I’d buy this benchmade but would never put it to work as it was designed for. I mean a good edge retention is still nice to have since cardboard can be pretty abrasive :). I wonder how many out there are like me ^^
I don't buy knives that cost so much I'm scared to use them. I'm a budget knife guy. Funny thing after years in boyscouts and in military I've never seen anyone with expensive knives do something my cheap knives can't do. In fact usually they ask to borrow mine because they are scared of pick one loosing it break it messing it up. An every trip my cheapo got the jobs done.
I personally don't like to spend over $150. I believe you can get anything you need at that price. Usually you are paying for brand name. It's funny how people will fight over a brand name. Like CRK I believe it's because they are embarrassed they got ripped for a $70 design that's got poor heat treatment and a 40 year old design. They paid $500 for lol 😆 😂
Most super steels only preform a bit better then properly heat treated carbon steel. I'll take toughness over edge retention and hard has hell to sharpen.
How many super knives have been broken. Yet a $50 or less 80cv keeps getting on.
Super steels are a super gimmick
@DTL all excellent steels. I really find myself liking 80cv when done right it is amazing. Can’t go wrong with any of them and most knives in those steels won’t break the bank. Have a good one
love the log cooker. cool as f@$k
Cru Wear is pretty amazing
Great video, love you guys although I do miss the days when everyone thought Mikkie was on drugs😂
lol that egg tho
Would love that rockstead!
Thank you..
M390 I think is a better steel. Love your reviews and videos!!! My favorite fixed blade you reviewed is a lion steel m4
11:39
One of the most epic moments on youtube 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Have you done a video on the British MOD knife
It would be nice if you can do a video about Cold Steel 4-max scout, testing it to the limits.
Nice work boys!
G'day M & M, not a bad design .....if you can cope with the butterfly tax.
I dont mind a finger guard but that's going to be a nuisance IMO; though nothing that couldn't be trimmed easily with a power tool.
Speaking of tools, I haven't seen the willy fire starting method before, lol.
Seriously, I like the wood stove technique, I wonder if going all the way through on the perpendicular hole would be better or worse. Cheers Duke.
It would be a good overall “Survival/Hunting/Tactical Knife”. One thing about bushcraft knives is they’re no good at field dressing and skinning animals, too thick. I like the idea of a “Jack of all trades knife”. Doesn’t do everything great but can do everything.
I love the Benchmade Anonimus. Can’t wait to own one. But no retailer in Europe sells one, yet. Looking forward to see Your review, DBK Boys 🥹
Btw, why didn’t they produced the Anonimus in cpm magnacut? That would be a knife 😬
@@mxnxexpxtxrx4392 Cause as a relatively new steel. Its not necessarily perfected and there could be a recall on what happened to the magnacut steel after the air bubble breakage from DBKs video. Especially with Bark River. Factory big names like Benchmade wouldnt go out of their way to put out such a reletively new steel even with all the testings just yet. They are a massive company. And needs to be 100 percent certain they could master dealing with such a steel at a high rate of production. Not to mention I wouldnt crap on all other knife steels just because of Magnacut. I live in severe high humidity that rust knives easily and still my Benchmade Adamas Cru-wear has no problems and has not even rusted with rain and salt water in the air since I work very close to the ocean and I got it 2 years ago with constant use. With barely any maintance. I am pretty sure they will consider it in the years to come but I really dont want people to just crap on other knife steels just because the new shiny toy just arrived. Trust me Cru-Wear, 3V and many other steels are not gonna be left in the dust just because of Magnacut. One more example.TRC wont crap on ELMAX for a new steel because they mastered that steel to near perfection even though Magnacut has surpassed it on tests. I hated it when a person made fun of DBK for making their knife with TRC on ELMAX steel right when Magnacut got introduced. That was a stupid comment because I would rather have a knife that is reliable and 100 proof than something that is still new on the market.
@@mxnxexpxtxrx4392 I think Magnacut is too hard for Bushcrafting stuff.
How can you love it if you havent even used it yet
@@battleax4609 a friend of mine bought one from Benchmade US. I tried it and it’s a great knife, in my opinion. Even if it’s not stainless.
Just purchased my 1st bark river, Aurora a 2 with dog fire micarta.
Sad to say spent 280 the knife blade had a little rust mark and blade was pretty dull. So instead of sending it in I spent another $280 on a Edge Pro Apex 4.
That's sad, you should've sent it back... sometimes tho, all you need is a decent leather strop to bring the edge to razor and knock off the rust- polishing the blade a bit will help inhibit rust, esp. with A2.
Test the White River Ursus 45.
So if you like thin stock for bushcrafting, you buy this knife and put on custom scales or just wrap to handle.
thanks for your videos i really enjoy them i am wanting to buy one of these or a fallkniven what fallkniven would you recomend to be as good or better as the benchmade thank you
I never had my hands hurt because of jimping.
Please test the ANV M311 spelter in elmax . thanks
Wonderful content!! Would love to hear your opinion on a Bushcraft knife from Tops that has been around a few years. The Brush Wolf. SHOCKINGLY ugly but surprisingly useful. It would be great to see you guys give it a real trial!!
