DBK Knife review part 3, carving

here i use the dbk knife to carve a netting shuttle and a spatula.

[@johnmadrigal7217]

I really enjoyed this 3 part series. Great work filming and honesty shines thru.

[@joannearduin7801]

Great videos of this knife, just love watching you work wood.

[@ANNvonMMP]

it's always amazing how easy carving looks with you, no matter which knife you use

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

Thanks mate, but it's stll so much easier with a carving knife!

Bark River, i love it

Bark River?

Thanks for taking me out again. Nice carving, I wish I could get out again.

Tidy tool! Great to see other tasks like making shuttles too.

Awesome video and nice knife! Gotta say your nutcracker style return on the baton to its resting place had me inhale quick for ya. True skill right there! Cheers from the bushes of Ontario!

[@shawnhulke7385]

I would love to have one of your knives but because of being poor I have to settle for something less expensive. But I must say your knives are very nice.

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

I understand

[@charlesmurphy7712]

Very informative and I always love the food preparation additions when viewing knives reviews, 60 % of my use is in camp or the kitchen on a knife. Have a great week 😀😊👍😉

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

Food prep, cut a tomato up😂😂

[@charlesmurphy7712]

@@RobEvansWoodsman You cut up a tomato, yes . You ate said tomato, yes. That counts as food prep in my book. Didn't make a sandwich or cook but you prepared a tomato and ate it. 😉👍👌

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

Bring a kitchen knife then?

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

I always use a flat grind folder for food prep.

[@Anndyinthewoods]

Excellent video! If I tried carving like that I would end up with more cuts on my hands than the wood!

Thank you

[@jurgenkrebbekx4329]

Nice vid Rob,great to see such a thick convex edge getting some finer work done

[@greekveteran2715]

With your acent Tomato. is closer to the original word which is "Ntomata" in Greek! The only change, is that you don't use the N, which makes the first letter sound more like a "D" and the last letter is an "a" that sounds exactly as the first a on that word. You're doing a fine work Rob! It's rare to find a KZbinr, who really knows and understands knives. I appriciate your work, keep it up!! Cheers

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

Thank you my friend, I got called an amature a few weeks ago on one of the Selvans videos, that pissed me off but your kind comment makes me happy.

Nice one Rob, always wanted to see how to make a net shuttle, thanks

[@gerardmartyn7596]

As always a great video. Thank you.

[@harwoodblades3633]

Some nice skills there pal..worked on a trawler when I was a kid.. Workington to off Stranraer 😳13 years old and used to fix the nets with a shuttle..made out of plastic or beech.. best ones were cuttlefish shaped 😉

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

Making a plastic netting shuttle would be a good survival knife test.

[@eugeniovaldez7205]

Great demo video! Looks like the knife is a keeper! Have to look into getting one myself.

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

It's a good all-rounder.

[@johnturner6251]

Thankx Rob

[@HankSielski]

Nice knife! I wished I had gotten one. But I think I now prefer your knives for wood work and one with a full flat grind for food prep.

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

That's exactly what I prefer, nice folder for food and general cutting tasks and a zero scandi for wood.

Fairplay carving the netting needle with that chunky knife. Skills 🤘

[@toddwilson1230]

another great video

[@midwestgear]

Love it!

[@thewoodlandschoolltd3999]

Seems a good workhorse knife, but lacks the super fine detail edge needed.

[@martinoutdoors6941]

I really enjoy your videos Rob, sometimes it’s quite relaxing just seeing some carving, like Neil (Greencraft) his simple carving projects. But actually seeing knives being used not just being battoned through a large bit of wood. Great looking knife, big question will we see it on the hip in future videos..???

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

I don't know mate, time will tell.

[@alexandergutfeldt1144]

The DBK knife looks great .. but, for carving I have to use a smaller blade that I can control better. I take my hat of to your mad carving skills!

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

I'm really not great at carving, average probably.

[@lowlandloco2010]

Hey Rob ... Did you ever tried this budget blade from hultafors the OK4 ...i was really surprised by this blade somewhere between 20,00 /30,00 euro,s....it comes a little rough from the factory but its awesomeness straight up 👍. Thanks for another great video 😉.

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

I've had one but prefer the Mora's. Good value.

[@slick_slicers]

I realise you’re testing THIS knife, your Swiss Army knife with its awl and little saw would be really useful.

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

Never without a SAK.

[@daemonharper3928]

Exactly as you said, it looks to be a great knife that accomplishes everything around camp.....a jack of all trades. How long are you allowed to take making the net shuttle according to Mors?....and does that include the 3 that I break halfway through? I'm guilty of shaping them before the cutout - I'll copy you from now on. (Not that I've ever really used one, just made a few).

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

I think it was about 5 mins but I can't be sure, bear in mind that he was using black spruce which splits like a dream and is soft as shit to carve.

[@grahamwinter5536]

👌👍

[@RhysTucker2603]

Another great video Rob, as always! Noticed you've been using convex grinds a lot more lately rather than scandi. Which do you prefer for general use?

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

That's a good question mate. Basically if I'm in broadleaf woods I think a convex blade is best as the hardwoods are tougher and featherstick wood is few and far between, conifers are mostly soft and straight grained awesome with a scandi. The big question is which is best long term? The "Alone" knife!

[@RhysTucker2603]

@@RobEvansWoodsman very interesting points made there Rob, I'll have to have a think about that. I've always gone with a 4" scandi grind bushcraft knife, I have loads of them. Maybe it's worth giving a convex a go. Although I just love making feathersticks with a scandi, nothing beats it at that. As far as an "Alone" knife, that's a really interesting one to me. Could make an interesting video!

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

I've been thinking about that video for three years, I just can't give a definitive answer.

[@RhysTucker2603]

@@RobEvansWoodsman even to jus put arguments together and allow everyone to debate in the comments or in other video's would be great. I'm sure with your vast knowledge of knives and survival, you'd make an excellent case. I'd be the first one to watch that vid.👍🏻

the cut out is where a victorinox alox farmer would come in handy, it has a great awl which you could chain drill with and a saw to finish it off. I get it though, it's a test of the DBK knife, but at least this is another comment for the comment section 😄

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

SAK awls are excellent.👍👍

[@Tom_Bee_]

@@RobEvansWoodsman I agree with that 100% Not so much the typical "sewing" type awls in the majority of models, although I find these perfectly adequate, they just aren't anything that special. But the fancy awls on the Farmer/Pioneer type models? Omg they are the dogs. Best awl I've ever used in a multitool by miles. Like their scissors, so precise, such a great design, perfectly executed.

[@klausheisler5014]

Only used mine (#170) to make a couple of feathersticks when I got it. Then it went in the cupboard & hasn't been used since. Good knife, it just doesn't do anything for me in terms of looks. An expensive bland looking blade (imo) that I just don't use. Was thinking about selling it & getting an LT wright illuminus 5. I prefer a scandi grind for most things & a saber grind with a secondary convex for a "survival" type knife.....which to me is just a larger camp/utility knife.

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

I know where you are coming from and I do agree with most of what you said.

So, go now, and begin your life of fear, knowing that when you least expect it, the looming sword of Damocles will crash down upon you, cleaving you in twain and as you gaze upon the smoking wreckage that was once your life, you will regret the day you only agreed with "most" of what I said.

I'm not a fan of Bark River knives, I don't like the handles therefore I wouldn't buy one or get lent one because I wouldn't be able to give it an unbiased review.

Nope, I've been thinking of knocking the bushtool on the head next year, sick of making a look a like knife even if it handles completely different to the Skookum. I think the butt plate is a total waste of time and effort but they are paying the bills.

Is this a skandic edge ? Is the edge flat or convex ? Isn't a scandic edge always flat ??
