You guys have a new fan! Thanks for adding humor to some good quality knife vids. Cheers from Texas - E

[@rainbowhiker]

Thanks for the honest opinion of this knife. I used to think Boker was a high end company but after viewing several other videos, I've changed my opinion. Thanks.

[@cheatobandito]

Just searched for a review of this knife and I'm happy to find you guys amongst the results.

[@BYMLV1]

That's why I love your videos, honest and to the point. This looks like a great hunter/skinner, however not much else. Let’s hope that this was a one off and the rest of the production line does not ship as dull and with the handle pin problem. Keep up the GREAT work!!! PS because of your reviews I just ordered the Brovo1LT (Elmax), Bravo 1.5 (S35VN) and Bravo 2 (S35VN). I love my Fallkniven A1, S1, and F1 regular and PRO but you turned me on to Bark River because of the quality of built and handle ergonomics. They should be here next week and I can’t wait!!! Again thank you for all that you both do and you will be celebrating 6,000 subscribers very soon!!!!

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

thanks a lot! we want to keep it honest.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

We sure will Sir!

[@49giants3]

Nice review. Thanks guys

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

thanks!

[@NjectRevenge]

Nice review guys! I have experienced the same problem with my boker plus knife. The factory edge was uneven, took we quite some time to fix it with the landsky. If they would not rush the sharpening they would actually increase in value imo.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

for sure! we would have had a much better experience if it had come razor sharp. Delivering a sharp knife shows that you stand behind your product. didn't seem so on this knife... it looked rushed.

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Dutch, I just bought a Bokor Coye Ridgeback, I teamed it with a Benchmade Arvensis 119, I bought them for wet, and snowy weather, I think Bokor nailed Tempering their 440c. But the Aversis 119 is in the 154 CM. and I think the two will compliment eachother. Nice to see you again.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

Oh nice! Keep us posted how the knife holds up man

[@paulie4x1]

Sure will, I also got my Busse Combat Knives, I got two out of three, The Ergo Battle Mistress will be ready around Dec. But the Badger Attack Ergo and the Steel Heart Ergo are Simply TiT's, Beautiful !!

[@Zeratsu]

Paul'ie 4X how are the knives?

[@TwentythreePER]

I have a Boker Plus Rambler for skinning and I've noticed the edge dulls a bit quickly. Do you think a convex edge would have better edge retention than the factory V edge but be just as sharp?

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

convex will glide more easily over bone so that the apex won't hit the bone as much as with a v-edge. it should be worth trying! that said the boker plus series is made in taiwan and i'm not so sure about their heat treatment either.

[@Dominique_Oliveira]

Good and honest review. ;) Well done .

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

thanks!

[@chemistryguy100]

Haha, these videos are awesome!

[@stonewintjen505]

if you guys are battoning wood and it is to short make wedge after first whack

[@livydman]

Dudes, the all around knife by Boker is the Vox Rold. You need to square the spine. The finger choil allows you adjust your grip for caping, but it is more of a survival blade.

[@eviljods]

Oh my....what a surprise ending.

[@Foreeddy]

Love your guys videos you guys will hit 100,000 subs in no time

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

+Eddy 1360 thanks !

[@douweklompstra1308]

Will you ever test a DiamondBlade knife. The friction forged blade.

[@norbertlitauszki8175]

Hi! What kind of pine (of the backgroung) do you use normally batoning?? :-) Spruce?

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

yeah regular spruce (picea abies)

[@norbertlitauszki8175]

...and pine tea too?

[@harryrobertson5993]

Good review

[@alarsenault1681]

great review lol you boys keep it entertaining I have the boker plus bushcraft knife 440c g10 handles it's about 3/16 tapered tang and it's awesome but I agree this one you test is okay maybe to skin or hunting tasks but never take survival or bushcraft I never had a lot of bokers I tend to go towards bark river and esee or Ontario maybe becker for a larger chopper to pair with a smaller knife iam out in the bush a few weeks at a time anyways great stuff ad always gentleman much respect from canada ☺

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

Thanks a lot! the boker plus should make a good bushcrafting knife for it's price. It's a good looker for sure.

[@nickkendall3764]

evening guys thanks for showing us this cool knife .obviously it's not kinky and into bondage 😂😂😂😂it prefers to be treated nice. each blade has it's job and it's your job to figure that out and I'm sure there's plenty of call for a hunting knife that looks that gorgous just be kind to it.I must admit it's a look for sure .nice work boker

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

hhahaha spot on!

[@kenmyers1324]

liked vid . but Martin didn't talk enough lol just kidding. keep up the good fight bros

[@Chretze]

"I need fire wood, so I'm gonna chop down this tree..." MY DUDE THERE'S AN ENTIRE TREE LAYING ON THE GROUND BEHIND YOU.

[@davidpyper82]

on other videos you talk of only choosing stainless steel for a survival knife . what are your reasons? and is A Rusty blade a bad thing ?

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

+davidpyper82 in a survival situation rust can form.a problem. Not necessarily weakening the blade but it dulls the edge very fast. The thinnest part of the edge will rust quickest. It will crumble the first few microns dulling it

[@davidpyper82]

I see . Thank keep.up.good work love ur channel

[@deunan00]

What about Boker arbolito esculta?

[@gustavobuchieri1315]

Nice blade!!!

[@koent.g.1230]

Die gooi met de Atlatl aan t begin😂😂😂

[@CommonCentsOutdoorsman]

My Arbolito came with a square edge also but it's a beauty. The n695 sharpened nicely though.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

they are beautiful indeed! I do think it's unacceptable to sell a knife with an unusable edge. you can't expect all your customers to be able to sharpen a knife.

[@danishaoyama6403]

how you guys don't have more subscribers, I will never know.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

haha thanks a lot ! we are gaining them fast luckily!

[@javiersp01]

that's how you make an Honest review

[@lioncross1849]

I’m pretty sure that Roland Welker won season 7 of ‘alone’ with this knife. 100 days in the wild. Killed an ox with an arrow and this knife

[@billandrews]

Since you did a Boker, how about reviewing one of their carvers like the "Congress"? It's a great carving knife.

[@alandelvalle7127]

you used a small log while batoning with that knife and used a larger log to baton with the other knives

[@HowlingDingoBushcraftChannel]

Is the boker brand made outside of Germany..?

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

they are made in various locations. I believe their top line is made in germany but they also produce knives in Thailand.

[@pablorsales]

Howling Dingo , made in argentina this knife

[@user-zn2ej4he1z]

I got 2 boker arbolito and had the same problem. The heroe g model was terribly dull when i received it. Love the look and after a lot of sharpening it works fine (7/10) for EDC. My other one its a Drop point. Acceptable sharp (8/10). Like this one for allround. Its a shame this poor quality control and the "esthetic above all" product development. Hope to see review of this 2 or some Yarara knives ( argentinian brand with fans and detractors! ) thanks and sorry for my poor english. Excelent work!!!!!

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

Your english is perfectly fine! it's like you say, these boker knives have great aesthetics but quality is off. I loved my boker arbolito el trampero 100 anniversary edition but I guess they put more effort in that one.

[@TacBlades]

Martin we need to see your impression of mickey :) A great fun honest review, they are not so easy to find these days. So errr knife sucks :)

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

Thanks a lot!

So dumb that they sent a dull knife to a couple of guys that review knives... oops

The production value of your videos gets better all the time. Great job, very entertaining. But PLEASE don't use a saw like that again! hahaha

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

Yea sorry.. we all sin sometimes. very irresponsible from me

[@ikaletralleg]

awesome video. Bummer the pins came loose. I feel like tst knife wasn't a great knife to represent the company. they do have some really nice knives. The last bit. "I'm not mickey im martin" "whattttttt" had a good laugh on that one. Cheers Ellis

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

haha thanks Ellis!

[@ryanpitts4893]

what blade steel was that boker in?

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

+ryan pitts knife reviews/bushcrafting hi Ryan! This one was in n695, cheers

[@ryanpitts4893]

Oh crazy is that like n690? Thanks bros!

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

it's a more balanced version of N690. Both are great under the right heattreatment.

[@ssunfish]

N695 is Bohler answer to 440C, a good balanced steel. N690CO is one rare alloy containing Cobalt which makes drill bits tougher and more edge holding. An Italian drop forged N690 blade is amazing! Vg-10 is another Cobalt bearing alloy that I know of. No pm sintered powder metallurgy alloys have Cobalt that I have found.

[@karimnuri2533]

3:32 made me laugh so much hahahah

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah M&M, Yeah, I think Bokor does a great job tempering the 440c. Infact, I teamed my Bokor Aparro with my Mora Garberg. The Bokor Aparro is a Hollow Handle Survival Knife. That's what I like to carry. A Survival Knife with a Bush Craft Knife. The Aparro is a Martin copy. Martin Aparro runs around $500.00 They put male treats on the blade and female treats in the handle. Then they marry the two, then put some hard epoxy when it gardens you have a very strong bond. Yeah, I can baton my Bokor Aparro. Infact I would like you guys to do a review on the strength of the Bokor Aparro (I got my Aparro at Knife Center). Thanx You Guys very much in advance.,,.p

[@max_fjellstorm]

You knew that that’s the knife one of the winners from Alone had?

[@schokiesser9187]

You have to send it back ??? As a german i have to say this is not a very nice move from them. Its "just" a mass production knive not a car

[@lettingthebearout7528]

Apples and Oranges mate. That’s a fine knife but it’s as long as it is. It’s a Hunter. A drop point. Etc . She’s a looker that’s for sure.

Hey mates, love the slow mo!! But the knife, if it was a full tang and a hunting knife it should of still withstand some kind if abuse!!!!! Bad on boker!!

definitely!

[@kevinAuman1]

Hell boker just got one a their knives sharpened for them and I bet they try and re sell it lol

The "Arbolito" knife isnt made for survival or buscraft , and the mark makes Gaucho knifes , collection knifes , but not bushcraft knifes , you can use them like that but that isint the real use :| , but good viedo

i don't really like boker knives that much, with one exeption: the fox rold and the fox rold scout. really superior knives for their price range

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

We can just hope that this knife was just a mistake from the factory, cheers

[@Aikidobear129]

I enjoy knife reviews that actually beat the hell out of the blade- I've owned cheap Chinese knock offs that would out perform that blade. As for looking good- knives are like women in that regard- if they don't perform as they should what the hell does it matter how good they look? Your review was good!

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

[@AdventureTimeOutdoors]

I hate knife companies that don't sell their knives sharp out of the box. For the pins to come loose like that I think it was just a poorly made knife. That should not happen. I am curious how much would one buy that knife for? great review.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

it was around 100 euros if im correct.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

yup it's true haha. We do bushcrafting in the largest forest in the Netherlands but you'll still often see people or hear cars in the distance. I go to Norway every year for the real experience but I can still enjoy being in the Dutch Outdoors. Thanks mate! cheers!

[@toejamr1]

I appreciate your honesty. I can tell it was difficult for you guys to be honest because Boker was nice enough to send you a knife, but you were honest anyways. Shame on Boker for sending out a poor example and putting you guys in a weird position... Did I mention that this was uncomfortable to watch? Lol

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

+Brad Leonard hahaha you are absolutely right! Well spotted. It really is a shame because this is so unnecessary.. Cheers man! Thanks for watching!

[@aaahbeeeh3374]

seems pretty senseless to create a fulltang knife and making the handles/connections so fragile. maybe its fulltang to reach a certain weight in this size class? had been a fine neck-knife with a rat tail tang and fully enclosed wood handle. also i find it very important to have a very good factory edge, cause if u buy a knife, u can only test it on paper/cardboard before deciding to return or keeping it. cant risk to damage the blade. had this problem once with some eka w12 knife, super dull it came, couldnt "testcut" with it. btw: finding it very questionable that böker wants this knife back after testing. they cant sell it any more, they wont inspect it and learn from it. good vid as always!

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

hahaha thanks Joe!

[@Chretze]

By the way, if this is a review sample they sent to you for testing and they want it back, there's a good chance they sent the same knife to someone else for testing before you. That's most likely why the edge was dull and poorly sharpened, the guy before you was just bad with it. You can expect Böker to sell well sharpened knives, especially at that price point.

[@ronstillwell3942]

DA!!!!!

[@MrZimmaframe]

When i make a knife and sell it to a customer i make sure it's shaving sharp every time.

[@hcooC]

How does it cut meat 🥩? Yarrr bois

[@2506INF]

Utility, Utility, Utility - It is either mission capable/ready, or it’s a waste of time & money.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

exactly

[@Dingdongwitchisdead]

Mission ready means my go bag will have right tools for the job. If I am gonna chop wood I am going to have a good ax. Heck, Roland Welker survived on what looks like the Dano for 100 days on season 7 of Alone. See his ten item video. Or the one when he uses it to take down the musk ox has a clear picture of it.

[@tacmed1995]

The knives from Boker Arbolito obviously suck. I purchased a Buffalo Soul 42. It also was completely dull. More like a blank. I could press it against my skin, making sawing motions, not a mark. Second, the tip was ground badly, beyond a reasonable recovery. Now I did grind it into shape, but I had to remove a LOT of metal to make that happen.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]
