Top 10 Things Everybody Gets Wrong About knives!

[@LastBastian]

#1 for me is probably: People who think *all* knives are *only* scary weapons.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

+Bastian very common misconception indeed

[@dirtydan179]

funny bcuz most knife attacks happen with kitchen knives

[@tikkidaddy]

Knives pop bubbles...whiny libs hate sharp edges....ARE YOU SAFE???

[@codpieceofjustice4595]

In other words, most politicians in the Western World

[@totoro8601]

That’s why my mom won’t let me have a bark river gunny.

[@michaelweston6083]

Biggest thing people get wrong about knives is that they are weapons, it’s not a weapon it’s a damn tool.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

+Michael Weston definitely agree Michael!

[@martinerhard8447]

It can be a tool to kill someone... So its both

[@Pellaeon159]

Like a hammer right? A hammer is a weapon too? And a broom handle? And a sickle? All weapons right? You demonstrated another annoying misconception. You are confusing two definitions of weapons - weapons conextually, as in "this icecicle is the murder weapon" - and weapons as objects, as in "A longsword is a weapon". In the first definition, knives are weapons, but then, everything is a weapon, including a brick, branch, keys, pillow etc. In the second definition, knives are like hammers, they are tools, which are better than most tools as weapons according to the first definition. But so are showels... So yeah.

[@rorschachfromthesouth4643]

It depends, I got a Kabar Fighter and that thing would be a horrible tool, it's 8 inches, too thin, rat tail Tang, but it would be great for a fight because the 8 inch blade and large hand guard

[@jackkrieger1324]

Even a dildo can be used as a weapon.

[@Aaron-ym4bf]

“This is why my family hates you” is a line I’ve heard in my life. Feels.

[@coryames1170]

Who could hate Mikkie though?

[@retardno002]

​@@coryames1170 the family 😅

[@jerrybobteasdale]

With batoning, I think people initially think that it's the beating action that's hard on the knife. Hitting the blade's spine with a wood baton isn't that damaging to the knife, except perhaps to the pivot of a folder. The damaging stresses are in how the grain of the wood can impart serious twisting and shearing forces to the blade. You can baton hard on a thin-ish knife blade to crosscut wood grain with little risk of cracking the blade. . Drive that same blade to rip along the grain in oak, and see how a thin blade can really sharply distort as it approaches a knot in oak. That's the thing that cracks a good blade.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

Agreed!

[@lancewilliams3354]

If I buy a Fällkniven Modern Bowie...I’m blaming you guys. Great video, as always!

[@jacobgrierson4019]

DBK has made thursday the best day of the week for sure!

[@XeroFailGames]

Jacob Grierson yea while im at work i wait for the notification and then i go take my break to watch them

[@jacobgrierson4019]

XeroFailGames then once it's over you have to wait another 7 days for the next one haha

[@TheKellisunshyne]

You are not idiots, your just having fun and including us in said fun!!! Props from the U.S!!!

[@snaponjohn100]

I am totally loving your channel! U2 are so much fun to watch. I’ve been a knife addict since I was old enough to wear pants with pockets. I carried a knife before I started school. I’m 61 now. That’s a lot of years.( that’s probably why am so sore all the time. ) lol Have you guys ever yelled at survival Lilly for using the edge of a knife to Scrape a ferro-rod? God bless you both. John

[@nataliewitkowski913]

I went home early from work yesterday and binged DBK sharpening videos in anticipation of today's episode 😍

[@miacik8403]

HI I remeMbeR YOu

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

we too never forget Natalie. She is 3% bloody lady elite!

[@miacik8403]

Love wamen couse they leave so quickly... except natalie =)

[@jordy46682]

I came, I liked, I comment, I watch...

[@bychen80]

You forgot the one where your family/friends/collegues ask you, if you secretly are a sociopathic serialkiller because you get glittery eyes when talking about your newest knife-collection-addition ;-) My mum always says “can’t you please just by some new shoes?” lol

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

+Mkay hahahaha yes! Its always awkward to tell someone you collect knives

[@krknfmkr8919]

Mkay or when you make them "how many knives do you have?" Me "about 116 finished at the moment but I am making more". "Are you nucking futs?!!" (Yes that's how I wanted it)

[@rukaks]

My mum says similar things...and I’m in my 40s!!!

[@iammoose4349]

I think this was just a hate video for knife noobies in a humorous DBK style. Made my day thanks guys.

[@kylekeenliside]

Best. Channel. Period. Keep it up guys :)

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

thanks a lot kyle!

[@SSgtPayne-jv3qv]

Kyle Keenliside you put a period after a “period”

[@hxcjoshua1]

I first I was like wow these guys are too ridicules then after the 2nd video I realized that's what makes them great lol. now I cant get enough

[@diogeneslantern18]

Very entertaining. I just bought a Mora Companion today and already I am in love with it. Greetings from South Africa

[@ethan9154]

you talked about a butter knife, and it wasnt in the description. unsubscribed.

[@TudBoatTed]

Lol

[@lucascurrah6010]

Same I needed one of those

[@bo-ruichen6624]

Imagine just unsubscribing because you don’t even know how to get a butter knife live actually are you dumb?you can literally buy one at Amazon basics don’t unsubscribe just because your dumb idiot

[@CaptainAiryca]

OMG #3 kills me!!! I can't stand seeing people do that. Great video!

[@ethanplays4029]

For real

[@enzowarren9832]

I didn’t know anyone actually did that

[@notoriouswhale8046]

You guys should do cheap axes vs expensive axes. Love the video those people piss me off too. Love you guys.

[@markusbrunner9170]

#5 brings it (especially with all you explain) quite on point for me...

[@MeekPopsicle]

You guys are killing it. I love the details you add; like the voice for the myths. Damn it's great.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

+MeekPopsicle hahaha! Thanks mate, cheers my friend

[@urtiktak]

You are so right! We must have fun in life and all we idiots that loves knives have a ton of fun 😂 Keep up the great work 🙏

[@mellasdock-du4047]

Can you maybe make a Video about knife laws in the netherlands? 🤔 Love your Videos guys!!

[@eperk008]

You guys make some of the greatest videos on KZbin! Your reviews on select bushcraft knives and other hilarious videos are what got me into bushcraft knives. Keep up the great work!

[@reyscottm9]

This is why I love the Mora Garberg. Best of both worlds. Small knife with heavy steel for bigger jobs.

[@pounceonyou1958]

Best , funniest and informative knife channel, thanks guys.

[@49giants3]

You guys have great videos. Who doesn’t like to smile. Some people need to take it easy. Take care guys.

[@dwaynewalker986]

With the improvement of certain folding knives' locks, if you want to carry a knife with less than a six inch blade you should carry a lightweight folder. A large belt knife with a lightweight folder and a multi tool will do everything you would need to do in the woods.

[@KH-rt3ef]

Nah. Fixed blade is where it’s at.

[@cgomez9182]

Do some condor knifes mans! I got the Primitive Mountain and Primitive Bush Knife and I want to know what you guys think about them

[@barmherzigsein6836]

As always, the two DBK MEN rule the wonderful world of KZbin knife lore and education. I send you a huge YOU GUYS ARE RIGHT ...AGAIN!!! From Atlanta, Georgia USA - Live and Prosper in Peace

[@michaellangshaw1521]

Hi Guys! Nice review. It was a nice recap of some of the past educational videos I was fortunate enough to catch. Don’t ever stop till you’re old.

[@CanaryEyrie]

i do carry a folder knife edc and carry machete when im out in the field. one that i always get from is that when you carry a knife, you are up to not good or wanted to stab someone or consider as bad person. they always see knife as a weapon and never did they think that knife as a tool.

[@Paddy.C]

Thanks for the great bit of wisdom that knives are for everyone. A few of the people at work got very excited when I told them, but my coworkers really aren't pleased at all. Something tells me my days as an orderly at the secure psychiatric unit might soon be coming to an abrupt end.

[@chrischris7003]

That branch was bothering me the whole time! 😬😬 LOL thanks for getting rid of it. You guys are great!

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

+christina audio yes VERY annoying! I was not pleased seeing it in the edit

[@chrischris7003]

Dutch Bushcraft Knives that damn foreground!

[@juandemarko8348]

You guys are my favourite youtubers! Please continue with the great work!

[@marcophoto9677]

Was watching one of Survival Lilly's videos and it was just killing me seeing her use the blade edge on a fire steel. She also has no idea how to use a Silky saw.

[@cloudwarrior1921]

It's because the falknevien S1 she had had a bad spine on it that could not strike the steel. She hates the thing.

[@marcophoto9677]

And I don't get that either, I have an S1 and have no problem with the spine striking the fire stick. She is kind of cute and fun to watch, but some of her skills are a little iffy some times.

[@fabianherr2750]

The produced that bad spine herself by hitting it with objects other people would not baton with

[@the.magnus]

Marco Photo cute?! Are you sure lol

[@marcophoto9677]

Lol, I did say kinda cute.

[@samsonrich9935]

I would love it if u did a video on bounish edge tools. their knives are fantastic. I think you would love them

[@halidespecialist8562]

This video is a perfect example of everything awesome about you guys

[@mauser8515]

Another great show guys! Thanks for sticking with it. Good stuff. Not a demand or criticism, but an observation. Europeans are known for many great things throughout the ages. Bows, Swords, knife steels, armor, ship making, bridge building. Americans have a few things we are really good at too. One of those was house building and axe making in the 18th, 19th, 20th centuries. That's right, the United States made some of the best axes in the world once our pioneers sailed from Europe. We made axes with polls for better balance and driving wedges, phantom bevels to reduce sticking in wood, dog leg broad axes for hewing logs, hickory handles to give years of hard service, and we have some of the best shapes you would ever want to fell trees with. It would be neat to see you guys learn how to chop with an axe,and to pick up say a Kelly Perfect 2.5lbs double bit cruiser on a 28" handle, or a 3.5lbs Connecticut on a 31" handle. Maybe even a big Kelly Flint edge 4# double bit on a 33" handle. Learning how to properly design the v notch, and then using these great axes to knock out chips can be pretty satisfying. Theres a lot more to it than simply hitting a tree with an axe. Even the thick European Gransfors axes can do well at felling trees, but not at the same efficiency as a well maintained American axe from our bygone era. Not to mention it helps to build your baton muscles so you can keep beating the hell out of those knives. Anywho, check out "An axe to grind" or "Have broad axe will travel" on youTube. I hope this finds you well, love drinking my morning coffee and listening to your knife talks and tests. I know this is a DBK website, but a good vintage American axe should be in every pioneer's kit. Take care!

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

thank you so much mauser! I was actually just looking at a workshop for axe cutting haha! I think we know our stuff with knives but we have a lot to learn about axes still. I'd love to learn more about it.

[@wisperingbeard]

Mikkie, well said brother. Loved your response to misconception #1. People take life too seriously!

[@KnifeCrazzzzy]

Man this was great had some really good laughs. It hurt my soul when you scraped that fire steel with the edge. 😖 One of the best videos yet!

[@Laiynnalaiynna]

All 10 points are spot on, well done :)! And, although not a knife, please add the demented comment of:" An axe should never be sharp." Whoever came up with that crap obviously never had the pleasure of working with a Gransfors Bruks axe :D. Groetjes helemaal uit Frankfurt!

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

danke schon lai!

[@Laiynnalaiynna]

Hahaha, mag ook in het NLs hoor, dat gaat me een stukkie beter af ;).

[@martinerhard8447]

Depends what you want the axe to do. For woodsplitting I prefer a not razor sharp edge. I can split wood easily enough with a semi sharpbaxe and dont loose my leg if I swing my axe somewhere close on accient

[@aratafreecs3445]

One of the few channels where I first like and then watch the video. But after seeing the video I have to say, that it was an awesome one, as always. Love you guys :D

[@MTMILITIAMAN7.62]

I don't think a survival knife needs to be stainless. You mentioned convex grinds being among the first knives. Well carbon steel knives were used successfully for hundreds of years, and are still adequate choices. I still prefer 5160 for my survival knife. But yes, the batoning stigma gets old. To think a high carbon spring steel or other modern steel is going to be damaged hammering it through wood with wood is absurd. I won't say a little knife can't do a big knife job, but I will say a big knife is better at doing small knife jobs than a small knife is at doing big knife jobs. If you've ever tried to field dress an elk with a Leatherman, you know this. Stainless steel is called stainless steel because it "stains less," not because it doesn't stain at all. Never heard the "knife people are serious," and if I did, I think I would bitch slap the person. I just had a flashback to "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels," "We need knives, big fuck off shiny ones..." kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGHQinuge9GbbZY

[@ouroseidal3773]

Been around since around 10k, still love you guys! Keep doing what you're doing, you guys are great!

[@mgsouthward]

You guys are great - this stuff SHOULD be fun, thank you!

[@yeaman992]

Keep up the good videos! One thing people get chronically wrong is the metallurgy aspects of steel and what effects different alloying elements have and why. Like people argue how ZDP-189 must be ultra stainless because it has 20% chromium like M390 (PS stainless is really defined as 11% FREE chromium in the steel matrix, not total amount). There seem to be a lot of confusion on rockwell hardness and different powder metallurgy processes too. Also there's a whole lot of misinformation on what steels are "chippy" and what degree per side to use on varying blades.

[@Zeratsu]

here in Yakutia where i live, we have our national knive called "Yakut knife", and they're always have a stiffebing rib on the blade, and ones who don't know (and there's a 95% of people who don't know) ALWAYS say that it's actually a groove to flow blood from victim or prey. And an animal should die from bleeding if you stab it and leave your knife. Man it's so stupid to hear, and they so convinced in this. I actually don't know how 95% of people don't know why smiths use stiffening ribs, but they KNOW for sure that it's a freaking bleeding groove. In russia this problem is exists too.

[@emilioorozco5891]

I honestly wish I could meet these guys. They seem so fun.

[@tomvirtue6986]

Wish every day was a Thursday! Love you guys!

[@jeffreydustin5303]

Test the OKC Old Hickory Hunter, you did the butcher knife, but they've done a nice newer grind, would be nice to see your tests on the hunter.

[@themoodybobby1]

Nice video. Will agree to disagree on a couple of points but well done. A survival situation can take place in an urban setting or a wilderness setting so size is relevant to setting imho. I gotta go with Mors Kochanski, Ray mears, Horace Kephart, Nessmuk, Cody Lundin when it comes to what a survival knife is in the wilderness. Above all it depends on who is using it. In the right hands either of those knives will accomplish all tasks needed.

[@yoji4970]

Best bloody knife channel on youtube

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

thanks a lot my friend

[@brysyaboi3660]

I cringed at the striking the fire rod with the edge part. Great vid guys keep it up

[@fabianherr2750]

A survival knife is a survival knife, a bushcraft knife is a bushcraft knife and a kitchen knife is a Kitchen knife so and the piont is they cut the stuff they are made for... Greeting from Germany

[@WarGrrl3]

So which one, the Becker bk-2 or the Dulo Viking knife? Are you going to do a follow up vid on the Viking knife? Thank you for all your help.

[@trazyntheinfinitehereforur828]

hey dbk i wanna say thanks for making this video and ill show my freinds who say some of these things and i hear when im going around the internet that home made knives are the worst knives could you help with this misconception or at least give your view

[@chaov3567]

good video guys next time,can you make a vid about the buck 119 special?

[@ArcAudios77]

Good job Guys, knew some of that & learnt a touch too. Regards

[@icanmakeit8484]

Loved it. Absolutely loved it. Thanks guys.

[@charlescollier7217]

Great video, as always! In keeping with the big vs. small and survival vs. bushcraft, can you do a video on the most versatile knives (the ones that are pretty good at most things)?

[@justinpatrickhoffman]

You guys knocked it out of the park with this video! I’m crying because I’m laughing so much!

[@jhgindia]

Love this channel.from India.

[@inthemwoods523]

LOVE your videos fellas, I would like to dispute the whole sandpaper and mouse pad thing though. I use a THIN rubber mouse pad and sandpaper for my bark river knives with great results. I think as long as you are using a thin pad and light pressure it's ok.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

It can work of you know how to do it properly but with a lot of people it would only dull their blade

[@inthemwoods523]

Dutch Bushcraft Knives I agree, I did my research prior to trying it, and I also stopped frequently during the process to make sure I wasn't rounding my edge. Eventually I want to try water stones, but I need to save up the money to buy them.

[@gearheartknivesoutdoor2166]

[@fullmoonprepping4024]

Love the subliminals Lol! You guys should review the Kabar Becker BK9.

[@enzowarren9832]

Can you guys do a comparison video between a Mora 511 and a Becker BK2?

[@billyprendergast6631]

Great video what about 440c Steel I use it to for a lot of hunting tasks.WHAT about that video on Helle knives laminated Steel never rust.Serious question guys is Pluto still a planet.

[@martinerhard8447]

Billy Prendergast 440c is a good stainless steel. Its a solid choice and I prefer it over many more expensive steels

[@yaboyjosh3023]

Man I had no idea there was such a big debate on batoning until now. I mean I saw one video on it and that's it. Well If there is one, I'm on the butoning with the knife side! Because well, It's a lot safer then swinging an axe around. (Thank You for the Axe vs Knife video!)

[@maximilianocardoso7885]

hello from Uruguay guys!! first of all your videos are fantastic, funny and full of interesting information. I know you are super steel lovers, but I would like you to make a review of a particular knife made for bushcraft, a spanish one, the Muela Aborigen. thank you. the best for both!

Any chance you guys will review the Glock Field Knife? Good stuff!

[@PaulK390S90V]

Great video guys. I just got my Kitayama 8k in today. I love it! So nice. Puts a awesome mirror on. I sharpened a new damascus chef knife with aus10 which isn't the greatest but kind of like vg10 and I got it so sharp I couldn't even split hairs it would just tree top cut it lol. Unreal that I can get it that sharp and I'm getting better each time. Thanks to Maartens sharpening videos too! I do it just how you do it or try at least. Easier than sharpening the knife with the point coming towards you how I used to do it and could never see what angle I was holding it and would mess up. Anyways thanks and look forward to the next video adventure!

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

+Paul Lonardo thank you so much for your kind words Paul! Awesome to hear the kitayama stone works out well. It's one I've thought about as well

[@Lfomod1Dubstep]

Can you do tests of china knives? From DH-Gate or Ali express? :D Would love to see if they can stand the tests!!! Many knives at Ali express says they have great steel but do they really?? :D

[@1stcSOLDIER]

No obviously not. Knives made in a sweat shop aren't worthwhile.

[@rumple4skin414]

Love the vids. Could you guys please do a review of the white river fc5 or fc7?? They look like amazing knives.

[@flynnch9151]

You can have fun and be funny and be serious. Love you channel 👍

[@stuartgibs2]

Hey lads. Absolutely love your videos. Always makes me laugh. Don't really have much interest in knives , I have a few though. You guys need your own TV show. Keep it up. Stuart from Ireland.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

+Stuart Gibson thanks a lot Stuart!

[@robinpohl2702]

I tried that firesteel scraping with my mora before I did a big sharpening job on it (I was 13 when I got it and didn't know about scandi grinds so I sharpened it with a secondary bevel) I have done this 20 times and I never saw such a messy edge again until survival Lilly showed us what her poor a1 had to endure

[@thefishinglor6931]

You guys should do a review on that Aurora Martin was holding

[@markusbrunner9170]

Yeah a fire steel harms the edge of course - i modified a lot of my knives on their back that i can use the firesteel as it should be used... but i also used the edge a few times netter 1cm dulled edge than no fire but of course its a shame to use the edge... but lime i said: better 1cm dull edge for a week or something lige that and then go home and resharpen it and maybe modify the back so you dont have to do that again than have no fire but you're right of course and i get your point...i know that doing this harms the edge of every steel a lot and it shouldn't be done but i know more people which don't use their knives - cause of resale value my ones getting no "original edge" they get a mirror polished if i use them for light tasks a few days - so the edge gets better not worse during unde and abuse

[@blueheeler66]

Another great video. I hope that ya'll can make it to the 2018 BLADE Show event being held from 1st June to 3rd June 2018 in Atlanta, Georgia (United States) this year. (SHOT Show in Las Vegas would have been fun also)

[@Malok03]

You Guys are great !!! Best knife channel out there, Keep it up !!!

[@ScottWorthington]

Thanks, guys. Great video.

[@thomasbechard]

That branch bothered me the whole time. Glad you took care of it, Mickey.

[@ChrisC.Astrology]

honestly i use carbon steel mostly because you can strike a flint o n the back of it and get sparks for making a flint and steel fire if you do not have a striker with you and also it is easier to sharpen out in the field. but with stainless you have a better edge retention and is better for long use.

[@martinerhard8447]

jimmy jake Usually carbon steel is better for edge retention than stainless. And you can use other rocks instead of flint if they are hard enough

[@frederikkjaer4170]

So, if Bark river Bravo 1 is a survival knife, does that mean it's bad for most tasks that include carving? What about the bark river gunny or Aurora?

that is a nice idea guys, please take it!

[@marcelmajercik8374]

Ask me how I have found Your channel? I was looking for a tutorial how to sharpen a convex grind on a stone ! It really isnt that hard to sharpen. The thing is people buy expensive knives and are afraid to modify them.

[@russiannationalist7308]

do a video on the malanika hunter CPM4V next i have the knife myself and its amazing!

[@laurentsenecal2783]

Hey guys you should do an new review on the Ka bar Becker bk2. And by the way great video

I would like to see you guys do a video on the spyderco bushcraft knife. OK is made with O1 tool steel, G10 handle, and nice looking leather sheath.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

its around 360 euros here which definitely is way too much for o1 steel.
