[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

Big smile from start to finish watching this! Thank you so much for your review! I feel honoured! You are very accurate on where we got our inspiration from :) We aim to make this knife a standard item in our shop. However it is as you say TRC is a small company and supplies will be limited. Thanks a lot and stay sharp!

[@timwhite5562]

Honestly I think they might have. I watched a test done by a channel who's every episode has the sole goal of breaking the knife. It was insanely difficult for him to do. He eventually had to hammer it into a stump, lay on his back with his feet against the stump to brace himself and had to pull like he was trying to pull the sword from the stone. I was really surprised at how well the Elmax stood up to it.

[@iruwild]

I thought about joining the kickstarter campaign for this one but didn’t have dispensable funds for it. Still with the chrono trigger music. I used 10,000 BC for one of mine. Keep it up.

[@Appellation]

I'd just like to voice my appreciation for not only the consistent high quality of the videos, but the awesome choices in soundtrack. And those cheese cuts were almost sensual in how straight they were. That's some skill right there.

Putting the video topic aside for a moment, your quick shot of the Eurythmics warmed my heart, as Annie Lennox is one of my top female voices & also my definition of drop dead sexy. I'm 72 now, so my opinion is irrelevant, but it will always be mine.

Glad to see you wearing your Akubra Pastoralist. Your last 2 videos convinced me to jump in. Right now, there is an Akubra Federation IV Deluxe on it's way to Kansas USA from Katoomba NSW Australia! I'm pretty excited to receive it. I can't pull off a more Australian looking hat here, but this one should serve me well. Very nice knife in this video. Too scary looking to wear around town here. However, I am much more impressed with your produce. Your broccoli looks amazing! Stay healthy Pete et al!!

I mean really get weird with it man. It's all in good fun isn't it. Just remember the first three letters of Fedora are FED.

[@joelhunter984]

I too waited a day and missed out on the first run and then I did the same damn thing on the second run!!!! I have a BARK RIVER Bravo one which is similar as well as a DULO DBK knife in K390. Well I have several DULOS which, are awesome!!!! I think five or six DULOS now. I will get a DBK knife yet and I too want it in Magnacut. I was actually very fortunate in that the boys at DBK Marteen and MIkkie were nice enough to have chosen me as A winner of their monthly giveaway a Falklniven A1X and an F1X. Great knives as well and won't be giving them up as the knives came from them and they are salt of the earth. Good stuff Brother, keep it up.

[@ssunfish]

That's a load of good fortune! I have tried many knives after my dutch uncles did content about them. I didn't even try for their DBK knife or Royal Knife Club. Good intentions and all that. How did you know what to get from Dulo knives? What were your picks?

[@joelhunter984]

@@ssunfish I started off with aDBK Dulo knife bushcrafter. Then I saw the Leuku and ordered it. I like a Pukko do I then ordered that followed by an F hunter and a kitchen chopper and Aaro Pukko are coming. Dulo makes a great knife and for a super price. I think if he could have dedicated enough time to make their knife, it would have been made by Dulo as his stuff is incredible. I have and have had many custom knives over the years. As far as fit and finish then not to mention the the cost. Super knives. I use them for hunting and generally I can cut an entire deer and a hog with virtually no edge loss. A quick stropping and back on top. Wait times are about 7 to 10 months but, that pretty quick as a Randall is five years and an AD knife is four years wait from time of order.

[@nandayane]

[@TheOutriderJ]

That knife looks good enough for a Tonberry!

[@monsterslayer4317]

It's got more than kind of a Bark River aesthetic. I know there is very little completely new in the knife design realm that has been evolving for millennia, but there is nothing there to distinctly differentiate that knife from a BRK Bravo. And yeah, the BRK Bravo is certainly among the most high performing and versatile knives made. So to the extent this one is similar to the Bravo, it is a very good knife indeed.

I really regret missing out on the Kickstarter. I've tried to pick one of these up on the secondary market but no one wants to let 'em go. Hope you enjoy it!

An excellent and funny video. It shows clearly that a bushcraft knife has a very clearly defined purpose and it makes little sense to push it into a role of an all-rounder. It helped me to realize that this is not a knife for me, however well it is designed and built.

[@Olumin37]

Most people cant properly sharpen convex ground knives, and should they ever chip will be almost impossible to regrind without a belt grinder and lots of experience (especially with these modern super steels). Of cause most people never notice this because these kinds of knives are purely collectors items for most people & dont get used very much or very hard. This problem also applies especially to bark river & fallkniven.

[@chrisjosekuehl]

I use the work shop Ken onion belt sharpening system with the blade grinding attachment and it puts a convex edge on my knives automatically, it’s a great system if you like convex edges, if you want a straight angle the it’s not the best system.

[@sweetdrahthaar7951]

Good choice on the new hat and DBK knife. 👍🏻

[@phuckayumang2381]

I was checking out my friend's kitchen knives in highschool and I left a fingerprint on the blade. I wiped it on my sleeve like you did in the video and now I have a 1in scar on the outside of my arm. Every time I wipe knives off now I'll either wipe it up my pants in a stropping motion, or I'll pinch it in my shirt with the edge pointed away from me.

[@alanshaw6161]

I have the Spyderco version made of 01 tool steel and its ok. It's biggest down fall is the smooth as glass handle. If your hands sweat or get wet you have poor gripping power after that, I sharpen it true scandi style and just lay the primary bevel on a stone and grind away and it's the best method because you can touch it up in the field with little effort all you need is your favorite grit slip stone. So easy to have a completely razor sharp edge at all times.

Even here in the US knives are used in more killings than firearms. Of course the guns get all the press because they want to disarm us eventually. But yes, any knife can be a dangerous weapon in the hands of a psychopath. I suppose the UK government nanny state thinks a lot of you are psychotic.

[@timwhite5562]

Interesting, I find hollow grind to be a pain in the ass to cut cheese with, at least after a few slices. I find as cheese residue gets on the blade, it will pull the sides of the cheese you're passing into the sides and the blade gets wedged in it. When I wipe the blade clean it'll be fine until the residue builds again.

[@misolgit69]

as of this time December 2023 they don't seem to be listing this model the DBK boys (luv that candid shot of them 😅) have made another cooperation with BPS in Ukraine definitely aimed at the budget market their knives are generally well thought of especially in US and they have a model for everyone who has ever said why can't I have a wood handled Mora (and not pay an absolute fortune for it)

[@bobbrown98]

[@JJ-qi9zn]

An outstanding knife and now Bark River has the Aurora in Magnacut at DLT trading for $330.00 to $435.00 USD. Not as tall a blade but otherwise same grind and length. Unfortunately, the basic handle models are gone, but there are some fancy or exotic handle models that are still in stock. have had the basic black micarta for a month now and it is now my main EDC pocket knife. I use it every day to cut boxes up and in the garden and only have had to stop to clean the glue and sap off the blade. The blade is still razor-sharp. I would love to see someone make a straight razor out of Magnacut so I could shave for years without any major sharpening.
