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!

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.

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.

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.

[@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.

[@1911acolt1]

[@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.

[@DaveLeeKnives]

[@charlescollier7217]

"...knife designed by Marteen and Mickey..." *flashes picture of The Eurythmics* 😂😂😂

[@eyeofthetiger4184]

G'day Pete, I have been wondering about this one. Dig it, especially since it is convex rather than a scandi, very Bravo-esq. @ 600-ish AUD though, it'd wanna be good. Btw, I have found very fine wet & dry, (in the 2000 range), on a flat floor tile does the business on convex. Ok, not machine driven, but does facilitate a great deal of control, and I'm one of those with time management issues that actually enjoys sharpening by hand. Cheers Duke.

[@jbbolts]

My first (and only) attempt at designing a knife was pretty similar to the dbk... I also wanted it as the end all knife so I put it in a pommel as well. It cost me 175 cdn dollars iirc and I had it made by dulo knives

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.

[@saltknives]

I got so mad in the first minute with ZERO hats in it! The broccoli cutting entranced me and then BAM! Mr. Handsome himself with an even handsomer hat!

[@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.

Most expensive knife I've ever purchased was quoted at 200$ and was my own design once the maker decided they loved my design they upped the price to 400 with a sheath I offered to sell my desing to them and they got pissed at me they finally dropped the price to 300 for a knife in 8670 with g-10 handles was a hand made knife which I know cost more but wasn't expecting the price none the less it's my all time favorite knife with beautiful purple handles and a black acid stone wash blade

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.
