[@osbaldohernandez9174]

Dutch Bushcraft Knives hey mate how much did it cost u that knife is not worth buying for bushcraft I rather stick to my mora

[@rainbowhiker]

I use my CIMA 1 all the time. If not subjected to these funny but extreme tests, it's not such a bad knife. I use it almost every time I go out. Thanks.

[@alextripney3812]

I agree a really robust knife for the price.Who puts a knife into a tree then stands on it? Why? Of course the blade will snap.

[@alextripney6096]

Not everyone can afford high end expensive knives,also I have to agree that Mora make some great knives at great prices,but for me the Cima 1 is a good all round camp knife that will do for you what a knife is supposed to do,irrespective of where it is made/ produced.

[@marodriguezsr]

LOL 🤣😂👍. FYI I actually love my Cima 1 & Cima G20. Thanks for ALL the videos you guys share with us. - Marco

[@lamenature1420]

and cima G07 fantastic blade !

[@howardgreen9718]

Gentlemen as a ex soldier it is clear to me that Mickey B is suffering from PTSD towards the Fallkniven that bit him. Martian you need to help your best friend through that painful process by making him buy the knife and taking him out in the bush to face his demons. It will be hard for him but with your support he can beat this; also, please film this for us ; ).

[@Mrplacedcookie]

Agreed! Do a F1 vg10 vs Fi 3g and show us their findings!

[@jasonallenwise]

Great production on this one, guys. I love the back and forth between you two and the fourth wall (if one even exists here on KZbin). Thanks for another awesome video.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

thanks a lot Jason!

[@Spyyyder1]

[@stevegarrett8124]

Epic! You guys have my favorite go to channel now. Some real natural talent and always entertaining while staying informative. I live in California and Sweden so have a lot of ground to cover with knives and learn tons from you guys. Would be good if you gents could do a back story video - How you guys got started, etc. Big fan!

[@lawas2154]

Hi Guys, greatings from Germany! Iam following your Chanel quite some time now and it is allways realy funny and entertaining to watch your videos. Editing is getting way better dudes! Iam wondering if you could do a review on another lower budget blade: the "real steel bushcraft 2 in D2" it comes in g10 handlescales and with an kydex sheath, kinda bad kydex but never mind. Keep it up guys and i let u know u broke my bank on the Fallkniven knifes..

[@sksupply]

Great humor and color coordination between you two..ha ha. Great video.

[@buddhamack1491]

[@dutchoutdoorgroup]

Haha, jullie zijn nu al legende's. Weer een geniale video kudo's xD !

[@JoeSmith-el9yt]

This video was extremely entertaining. Seriously, very upbeat and amusing, while being a legitimate test vid. Hope to see more like it.

[@thealarmclock9307]

They kinda act like my 14 year old daughter and her friends.

[@jondearborn5102]

Great vid. Thanks guys!

[@deeroda1]

I bought this knife after watching the abuse you gave it. I love this knife it came razor sharp and even grind all around. hammered it into oak tree and it held my weight just fine, no bend at all. It will hold its own against any 100 dollar knife guaranteed. thank you guys for the review. no one will abuse a knife like that and it does great. razor sharp no nicks or rolls at all after hundreds of feather stick. everyone should watch Joe Robinets review of this Cima knife. thanks guys great little back up camp knife.

[@lcg3816]

nice video, always enjoy watching the creepy move and unexpected effect!

[@martinhuber3707]

I really love you and your video guys! been really into sharpening lately. I did mirror polish to my Fällkniven F1 and S1 with sandpaper, now I'm learning to do convex sharpening and mirror polishing using naniwa stones. This Channel + Virtuovoice made me also buy a bark river knife for my graduation present lol. I love knife too! keep up the good work! sehr gut! greeting from bochum, germany.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

+Mameha Mamehe thanks man!! Good choice hahahaha! And you'll learn the sharpening very soon!

[@mikaelrabb1876]

Ooh! This is sooo coool ! U should make more destruction videos yaaeh

[@user-zn2ej4he1z]

Great video as usual for DBK!!! Waiting for ESEE 5 and Gough custom resolute mkIII review!!!! Greetings from Argentina

[@michaelblaylock2514]

Wow Dutchmen 😎 your subs have exploded! Keep up the awesome vids and the sky is the limit. You need to collaborate with good ole Wako from Virtuovice channel somehow.

[@freqeist]

mine is still going strong

[@PhotoTips]

neil brown mine too,

[@michalurbanful]

So, would you recommend it? I was quite sure to buy one ... but then I checked if these fine Dutch guys reviewed it ... and they did ... and they destroyed it ... and I was shocked .. :-)

[@travisparker405]

Michal Urban They didnt review it.....they just destroyed it. Maybe got a check from esee?

[@KG22122]

2018... Still going strong...

[@Jamesnebula]

they sell knives, says all

[@DoviQc]

You guys should make a video about cool useful things you could do with a knife in a survival situation that could help you survive, that would be very interesting in my opinion. By the way I absolutely love your channel. You guys are trully a KZbin Gem :) Keep up the amazing work :D

[@420haxx]

Great video dudes, keep it up !

[@Madlykeanu]

Now THIS is a torture test

[@mission664]

I like how you just threw your phone on the ground at the end, it made me laugh.

[@pancho6519]

I've had that clone for 4 years, I use it as my main bushcraft knife, I haven't had any problems with it. It has good edge retention and works very well overall, I bought it on Aliexpress.

[@highfalutintootin139]

Would you consider testing the schrade budget bush craft knives :)

[@dominicbarratt3433]

Channel probably "exploded" cos u guys are legends! Funny as hell too:) great job lads. Thanks👍🏻

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

+Dominic Barratt hahahaha thanks!

[@panaxo]

I love your channel, keep it up! Saludos desde Chile!

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

Thanks a lot mate! Saludos !

[@panaxo]

Dutch Bushcraft Knives Btw, I just got a Mora Bushcraft Black today, i'm sure you are familiar with it, it fucking rocks. One of your videos made me choose the Mora over any other blade. Thanks!

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

thanks! and congrats on your purchase! we have a bushcraft black and it's a great knife for sure!

[@SkunkPunch73]

Hahahahahahaha absolutely excellent it’s like finding old pieces of gold you two are and deserve to be way more appreciated hell even have your own TV show!

[@DannyRockGod]

you guys are awesome! are you guys ever going to make a video on sharpening a convex grind?

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

We want to make one this winter! Thanks a lot!

[@mathieuhaegeman2221]

hello of a belgian guy wo are enjoying your videos ! good job men !

[@roughroosterknifesharpenin5531]

let me see how it strikes a fire steel?!?! WHOOOSH!!! HAHAHAHAHA! I laughed so hard 😂

[@Nanchi]

Rough Rooster Knife Sharpening lol right

[@roughroosterknifesharpenin5531]

I laughed so hard

[@bobshoy]

Hey guys, when reviewing a knife you put it in a survival or bushcrafting category. Could you recommend some good mid-range knives that lend themselves to hunting? Keep up the awesome work, you guys crack me up.

[@buster3693ify]

Awesome channel men. I bought a Mora Robust based on your review. 20 Aussie bucks on ebay. What could go wrong... ☺ Good to see how much better it is than a Chinese knife.

[@CanItAlready]

Position of your foot was different from where it was on the Mora. I don't doubt that this knife isn't up to ESEE standards, but I wonder if it would have broken as quickly if your foot had been closer to the log rather than way out at the end of the handle.

[@ToddGajewski]

brilliant guys, made my day! How about testing some Becker knives?

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

Next week we'll have a video about the BK2 !

[@newhampshirebound8551]

You guys are very funny, and good editing, etc. You should do a long form video of camping or some adventure.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

thanks a lot! we might do something like that soon. I cant go out much longer than 3 days most of the time because of my work though.

[@dlaka]

I would love to see cs srk in vg1 tests and your opinion. Love your videos. Greetings from Croatia

[@DaiKatana14]

Nice videos guys! Will you guys be able to test the Casström no 10 SFK sometime in the future?

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

Well, it has been on our mind so perhaps we can in 2017!

[@DaiKatana14]

I highly recommend you guys getting one. I got to "play" with one for a couple of days. The handle is fantastic, and it feels like an extension of your hand! The only downside is that they have two steel options I think - 14c28n and K720. I I'm planning on getting the Sandvik version myself, but I will probably wait out for your review first. ;) I think you guys might like it more than the Enzo and for Mickeeey it would probably be the "ultimate" bushcraft knife (if it came with s30v). :) Hoping to see a lot more videos from you guys in the future! Keep up the excellent work guys! Cheerz!

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

thanks a lot mate! we actually had the pleasure of holding one as well. It looks lovely and feels very good! Sadly we couldn't try it out haha.

[@danibiker89]

we did it, you reach the 1000 likes. You are great, thanks for your channel!

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

thanks a lot mate!

[@x3r0prime45]

If you could only have one fixed blade to use for everything what would it be?

[@ericgarcia5108]

What could be a good knife that is with in 4-7 inches that is full tang to baton with, i only have a mora companion so i cant baton anything large and was looking to upgrade.

[@Rocker6969]

have you done a Fallkniven F1 clone review ? seems to be a very popular clone. excellent show gentlemen :)

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

We have been thinking about it but we recently got a lot of complains about doing too much fallkniven

[@kocool1985]

Awesome 😎

[@iAmWiw]

Mikkie, do you think I could name one of the next songs you make?

[@sidereal1]

Been wanting to suggest a knife for you guys to consider reviewing: one of the Guardian series by Bradford Knives. Unique design, pretty comfy with the 3d scale option and yummy M390 with a double heat treat and cryo.

[@harkonen1000000]

Would you do a Falkniven NL1 Thor destruction test?

[@vincentvdh9]

Love it: more crazy stunt combined with actual testing. Ceep up the good work. Can't wait for the first snow to fall, who knows what you guys will do then? Maybe: can you survive at the South pole with a Victorinox :p ?

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

+vincentvdh9 thanks! Hahaha great idea

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

We might actually have a cool plan for a winter survival video!

[@grominwithrob1339]

I bought one of these about 6yrs ago for under $20 shipped. I only use it for light camp work. I don’t use it for food prep anymore because my ocean of various Moras do it so well.

[@rc4life860]

You should do a test on the Semptec Pearl. Or the 1980's Rambo knife

[@simplemanduke7128]

great music choice guys

[@andriesduplessis7182]

I have a cima 1. Maybe just put it at the back of my collection after this , great job.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

haha sorry mate.

[@jockitoy]

Can you guys review/destruction testa a J. wolfe cutlery knife ?

[@ronstillwell3942]

have you guys tried the battle horse tree frog

[@tvcdg007]

What made you start this channel? Also love the videos:)

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

Actually it was nothing more than wanting to show my experiences with knives and sharpening. I think I was inspired by Virtuovice.

[@camm288]

What do you guys think about utility tool wilderness knives?

[@PotHat]

Is there any way that I can listen to your whole theme song? I love it

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

haha you can mail us and we can send it to you

[@PotHat]

That would be sextacular! how do I mail you?

[@travisparker405]

Love this channel a ton! That being said, Im not liking this particular video. You guys are just flat out purposely trashing this knife. No real testing or reviewing. Is it not sold on knivesandtools?

[@PipeDiezel]

Going to see any pocket knife videos soon?

[@XIIIRog]

can you just review in a video work sharp field guide - spyderco sharpmaker and Lansky Deluxe Knife Sharpening Systems or just recommend a beginner and wallet friendly combination please ... and talk about sharpening in general and sharpening degrees honing straps etc in one video. so yeah after watching this a beginner could have a general idea about sharpening tools minimal needs sharpening and its angles etc... took alot of time searching around and feeling frustrated.. keyboard broken no comma etc :P sorry for that

[@leepierro8398]

Any thoughts on the esee 3? I am thinking about picking one up for edc or a kit. Any thoughts welcome, thanks!

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

+Lee Pierro I have bad experiences with esee. I think they are way to expensive for what you get. The construction is rugged but the steel performance is poor.

[@williamhou8892]

I like the destroying tests you guys are doing in many of your videos. Only those tests can tell how well knives can hold, and that's very important.

[@REAPERMILITIAOUTDOORS]

sweet video fellas from America keep rocking an destroying stuff

[@cientifiko]

there are dozens of youtube channels that did test CIMA and it succed, you are the only one that failed badly, i found that at least suspicious.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

I’m afraid we wouldn’t be doing our job well if we tried to make this knife last. We have to see how far it can go and if it fails at the same tests that the ESEE didn’t fail in, that speaks for itself. But I am curious what your suspicion is!! Maybe we are just ESEE fanboys!! I wish i’d know what knife we really like from them then.. haha cheers mate

[@cientifiko]

@@DutchBushcraftKnives it is ok to be fan of some good brand but I thought you were fans of Falkniven. Well, I should prefer Esee for sure but the price are not the same level, at least for me in my country, and because of differences in blade material and prices I don't see rationality for comparision. What i see, don't get me wrong, is that you cherry-picked the test, you didn't test resistence of corrosion, as example, Cima has high chromium content, which also can cause the blade to brittle, so the test that Cima could outperform you choose not to do. And there is no way to get homogeneity of conditions with your test methods. It is just for fun that´s why i keep watching your videos.

[@tubezv]

I always watching knife hard use or killing, especially yours ;). it is not good looking process, but its real test, also you can see videos from Vininull (it is interesting). And I note that your videos are very artistic and beautiful ...

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

thanks a lot !

[@bencusack1554]

What is the most expansive knife that you have bought and was it worth it?

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

+Blackhawks99 probably the Fallkniven A1 pro wich is 400/500 euros

[@reeceallen6405]

you two kill it lol i love the vids im from australia and my question is would you guys like to hang out some time 😃

[@TheLiam14141]

How long have you guys been making videos? I'm curious because your guys' editing skills are great. Also, have you two ever used a Bear Grylls sponsored knive? I had one for a long time but I (accidently) tip tested it and it failed

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

Hey mate, The Bear Grylls knife is too bad to buy haha so we haven't tried it. We have been making videos for some years now but we only started editing videos since +- may 2016. before that I only did some cuts

[@TheLiam14141]

haha, I figured those knives weren't so great. They're quite cheap although they might be fun to have considering they come with a whistle and a flint in the sheath. Anyway, I really enjoy how much work you guys are putting into these vids

[@matthewnewton2473]

what are you top 10 under 50$ knives?

[@Reaper-os9lx]

How did you get into knives

[@jordanteem4808]

I saved up and got a Morakniv, the Mora of sweden made of carbon steel, I was wondering if you guys could test it in a knife destruction video, I got it for around 70 U.S. dollars off of Amazon and it seems to be all right, I haven't punished a lot though, just want to see if it was worth it and if you have any suggestions. Thank you for consideration.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

I don't know chich Mora it is that you have. However, knowing it's a Mora I know you made a good choice!

[@areee999]

Does that sheath work with a real ESEE though?

[@marcogiordano9012]

wich knife for the same price is the best?

[@mikeolsson949]

Tumbs up!

[@federicoboetto1785]

Greetings from Argentina guys! Can you make a mora classic review?

[@zoroutdoor9]

thank you very much for the video it was really fun!!! someday you should try some of my favourite knives, survive, trc and some tops, the b.o.b is amazing. Recently i bougth a survive 4.7 in cru wear forge V, one of the best right now on the market. I must say, i agree with all your opinion exept for the Bark river. I have seen two bravo 1 in A2 bent on the edge. Maybe the cpm3v version is better... i dont know, but i have lost faith in Bark river.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

Hey Zoro, We don't like a2 either. I've send back my gunny a2 because I thought I got a wrong heat treat.. I don't use it often anymore. CPM-3V on the other hand is pretty amazing. I can highly understand that with a2 you have lost faith in them. I am very jealous about your survive 4.7! I didn't know they made a batch in Cru wear! they don't seem to have it now when I want customise one. I need cru wear pretty bad! haha.

[@TacBlades]

Great knife test, what is your favorite cheese :)

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

+Tac Blades though one.. to tough to answer..

[@londontaylor6492]

What is your favorite morakniv

[@teodorpawowski5724]

Question - my father bought me a knive: Marttiini folding lynx W. It costs 60€ and as i saw it is not as good as some on the same price. I want just to hear Your opninion. If its a good survival knife or there are many times better knives in the same price. Thanks for Your attencion and love Your videos.

[@lcg3816]

Teodor Pawłowski first of all, u have a great father XD second, i think folder usually cant make a good survival knife but a camping knife.

[@brandonduckworth154]

You guys should make yourself your own brand of Bushcraft knives

[@Jallabird919]

Do you advice using doublesided wetstones (1000/3000), or buy each stone for each grit?

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

double sided stones are often pretty soft. I would personally advice to spend a bit more for 2 separate quality stones. Otherwise you will end up buying these anyway (if you like sharpening).

[@permafrost1195]

Please test this and review - solognac sika 90 knife You can purchase from any Decathlon store

[@Koltus]

Hey guys. i wanted to ask where do you buy your Bark River Knives? I saw that knivesshipfree.com have quite a large selection but the porto to europ is also quite expensive. Really love your videos! I would relly like to pick up Knife-sharpening but never done it before... any tips? and at last: what do you think about the Cold Steel SRK?

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

Hey mate, We bought some from DLTtrading.com when the exchange rate was a bit better than now. You can also check out Knivesandtools.com since a while they also sell Bark River. We don't have much affection towards cold steel. However, I think there SRK knives are the best and most useful of their collection!

[@Ovatione]

Can you PLEASE review the esee 3 in s35vn. It’s an updated knife and I’ve seen no reviews by reviewers I really trust like you. You guys are the most trusted knife reviewers on KZbin. I know you haven’t liked a lot of esee knives in the past. But please the new esee 3 and maybe the jungalas 2 or laser strike.

[@2506INF]

Hey guys: What store-bought Scandivex knives have you bought as opposed to the Scandi blades you’ve reprofiled?

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

Hey! some of the bark river knives have scandivex bevels. The bushcrafter is even a bit too convex/scandivex from the factory (at least some years ago). I think bark river is pretty much the only one that has some scandi-vex models. The Gunny scandi was actually really lovely. Hope all is well! Happy winter days!
