INSTANTLY The Best Knife EVER. Fallkniven NL5 Cos

[@Mygg_Jeager]

Everyone keeps saying how much they love this channel for how genuine it is. Which is kind of an overplayed compliment; a lot of people say that about a lot of channels. What I love about this channel, is the beautiful friendship that's clearly on display, each and every single episode. And the hilarious bizarreness of your eccentric personalities and senses of humor. It's easy to see why you two are friends. :)

[@michaellangshaw1521]

I couldn’t have said it better myself. I think this is one of the reasons I love DBK. Real loving genuine friendship is so evident.

[@Mygg_Jeager]

@@michaellangshaw1521 I'm glad I'm not alone. Usually when I leave a comment akin to this one, I'll get criticism like "you don't need to tear other people's comments down just to prop your compliments up, you know." Which, in theory, could hold water. They may be right. And I was honestly a bit apprehensive that I might hear it here too, lol. Happy to see that I'm not the only one that feels that way. Basic and surface level compliments are nice, they're not unpleasant. But compliments that hit to the core of someone's character, or speak to the quality of what they make - those are the only compliments that matter. At least to me, when I receive them. So those are the same compliments that I strive to leave. :)

[@1mataleo1]

Same. I’ve been into knives for a long time, so I already know what i prefer in terms of features, steels, grinds, geometry, etc ; and I do my own research when looking to get a new knife, so I don’t really need their input. Finding all that for myself is part of the enjoyment for me. I don’t even baton my knives, as I always have a saw and axe with me. I mainly watch their videos because I enjoy the lighthearted mood of their content, and their close friendship reminds me of how me and my two younger brothers are when we get together; not in terms of behavior, but in terms of closeness, and it just puts me in a better mood to watch. Also, I don’t really know many people personally who share my passion and love for fixed blade knives, but these two crazy Dutchmen definitely understand.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

@@Mygg_Jeager im so sorry for only reading this now. Your comment means a lot! Thank you so much❤️

[@idrinkwine]

Well put. I always watch these videos and wish I was there with them, goofing around and playing with these tools that I enjoy. Their passion and silliness matches my own.

[@pev9950]

Maybe they will eventually make it in Magnacut or Cruwear …

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

hahah definitely not! we love knives too much! this is just one of many dream knives hahaha

[@pounceonyou1958]

@@DutchBushcraftKnives Bark River now has the Gunny LT in Magnacut, may be a good one for you guys to review.

[@cedrics1220]

The fact that your vg10 performed better after time is a significant sign that fällkniven overheated the edge a little but durung the sharpening process which is - sadly - kind of normal due to production speed. While sharpening you take away material and eventually will have ground away all the overheated material. That is why it has better edge retention now

[@jdisdetermined]

Two lifelong bros laughing uncontrollably together is such an awesome thing. It instantly takes me to good memories, thinking about the times I’ve done the same thing with my bros.. laughing like idiots, usually at shit most people wouldn’t even know why it’s funny. We have as much fun in our 30s as we did as kids.. because now we can finance all the foolishness.

[@thegreasersoutdoors]

You guys sure know how to make me smile on a rainy day. Your content is so enjoyable but it is your personalities that make it so unique. Thanks for everything you do.

[@nandayane]

I wonder if we will see an NL5 in Elmax, as they are using it in their X series.

[@SteAbs]

I was waiting for this video! Fallniven finally listened to you all. Great video guys 😎

[@glenwalsh8488]

I really love your videos that include food prep and cooking. It gives me good ideas to try while camping. Keep up all the great video reviews. You guys rule the knife realm.

[@josephdanmathis1876]

The friendship and enthusiasm warms my heart, truly.

[@jasonrolleston1045]

This video was as much fun as watching my kids open presents on Christmas. Mickie had a grin on his face the whole time. I also have been eagerly waiting for this knife with CoS. Got mine in the mail two days ago.

[@scottlanghorst1483]

I watched his reaction three times. 👍👍👍

[@JosephOlson-ui2pg]

I finally found it in stock since this video was out! Yahoo!

[@rpc717]

The food prep, especially dicing a tomato so cleanly with a thick blade that was already used was the most impressive part.

[@BradGryphonn]

I blame both of you for me spending more money than I should have on a knife. I just now ordered one direct from Falkniven. It'll be in Australia, and in my hands sometime soon I hope.

[@vandelftcrafts2958]

[@7A7ER]

I love to see you guys excited by a knife. The wonder and joy in your eyes is palpable, great music, great video!

[@LastBastian]

NL series is so beautiful. NL1 Tor was one of the first "premium" knives I owned. (My wife knew I was drooling over it, and bought it for my birthday over 14 years ago!) Bought the NL1 shortly after. I also like to darken the leather! I've since started making my own knives rather than buy them, but I'll probably always keep my NL's !

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

That's awesome and a great story. Definitely makes it a treasure knife!

[@2besavedcom-7]

I have a problem with my Idun... I used to buy a few knives over the years and when I saw the Idun, I too honestly thought it looked like the most beautifully aesthetic knives I had ever seen, but way beyond my budget. However, I saved for several years and eventually purchased one! I do bushcrafting with it, skin animals with it , even odd cutting jobs with it, and now, I simply look at other knives as if they are simply second best. Fallkniven has killed my desire to collect knives! I have the best looking and best functioning knife that I have ever used, so why purchase any other?

[@Mudsuitable]

Lack of COS availability was the ONLY reason I didn't not want this knife, I just placed my order !!

[@gospelninja2.016]

Yeah I handled the cos f1. The handle was really small for xl hands. So I looked around to get a new grip for it. And notice it could cost you hundreds of dollars. Imo this the best best cheapest way to get that knife profile. I think that knife profile was absolutely amazing. It eats wood like crazy. How you like it?

[@Mudsuitable]

@@gospelninja2.016 the feel is amazing, it's an all around great knife. Have you tried the S1x or A1x? They're great knives as well, they're essentially bigger versions of the F1x same perfect convex.

[@gospelninja2.016]

@@Mudsuitable I HAVE s1 pro. its really amazing. its in cos. not the elmax but i really think the cos is better maybe? lol.. who knows. but it is really a beautiful knife. not i was kinda wondering about the x series but not sure about the grind on the f1x. vs the original. i think the grind is way better still. om jusat having a problem spending 500$ for a knife... lol

Watching you guys use your dream knife gives me hope, that one day I will also find my dream knife. Or make it. Whichever happens first is fine.

[@SkunkPunch73]

Well done lads you cracked em in the end! As far as I’m concerned they only made this in cos because of you two lunatics. So a big thank you very kindly for that lads. The best part of this episode was seeing how rubber minded you two went lol just like kids on Christmas morning and you wanted a bike and there in front of the tree is a mess of wrapping paper and a handlebar sticking out lol. Catch you two beautiful humans on the next one, stay safe and healthy both and your loved ones always be well 🫵😘👍

[@LastBastian]

One thing that's possible with edge performance, is that knives that are factory sharpened on a belt grinder, the edge can sustain some amount of heat damage. After multiple hand sharpenings on your wet stone, that damage is theoretically sharpened out. Which would explain improved performance.

[@shawnpepin7890]

Definitely, I noticed a huge difference in my vg10 spyderco after about 4 or 5 sharpenings… it’s honestly a huge problem with knife reviews. Most reviewers barely even sharpen their knives once, let alone the time it takes to get through the “bad steel” from the factory. It’s probably why steels like k390 get such better factory edge retention, because those types of steel don’t loose their heat treat from high temps.

[@StevanOutdoor]

These stacked leather handles sure are beautiful. I don't have this one, because of the price, but I have some others in my collection. They just don't leave the house. Leather sheaths can also be beautiful but not the most practical in wet conditions. I agree that the best slicers for food prep are not the best batoning knives and vice versa, so bring two knives. The F1 was of course designed as a 'one tool option' (pilot survival knife) and they did a great job. A 'Jack of all trades', master of none. I think the same goes for the JP Peltonen M07 Ranger Puukko for those who prefer carbon steel. I bought two of them. One in desert tan and fully coated with composite sheath for my collection and one in black uncoated with composite sheath. They have a high scandi grind what I consider to be a saber grind. The F1 is smaller, lighter and an overal more compact package easy to throw in basically any bag or even in your cargo pocket. It's what I call my 'just in case knife' when I don't intent to use it (much) but still want a knife with me. The handle is too thin for my large hands for prolonged use. The M07 is a bit larger with a thicker rounded handle that could be a 'one tool option' for when I want to travel light but know I'm gonna work with it a for a prolonged time. Air force vs Army. Pilots expect to take of, stay in the air and land (not crash). Army knows they will be on the ground most of the time. Maybe you should test the M07 uncoated. I think this roll lock system is brilliant.

the way Martins silly grin is lit up by the scraping of a firesteel at 11:50 of the video... you can feel the NL5 love! great video guys, i have the VG10W version...

[@made_in_holland]

Hi guys, congratulations with your channel and this super knive! My son follows your channel for years now! He made already a lot of knives himself, and adjusted the NL5 for me! For me the NL5 is the best knive, I have one myself. But there was one downside of this knive for me and that was the size of the leather handle, it was too small. I had used the NL5 for more than 8 years with the leather handle because I did not dare to change it, until, I did!! I removed the leather handle and made a wooden handle instead. We were very happy to see that you have used our content in your movie about the full tang!! 😃 That is why we made this movie ourselfs in the first place: because nobody has ever removed the leather handle. We will make another video about the handle because it is still a bit bulky, but thanks for showing some shots of our video!! Good luck and well done guys!

[@inthemiddleof]

There’s nothing in nl5 that in any shape or form is better than in hundreds of other knives that surpass it in every category. You are lying to yourself! 😂

[@inthemiddleof]

It would have been nice if fallkniven soldered around the blade where it passes through the handle’s steel guard to prevent moisture entering through the seam. Many knife makers, such as Bob Dozier implement that process.

[@GertTown]

Survival lilly has a fidget toy made of cos. She keeps it in her nightstand and it runs on 12 D batteries.

Without knowing what it is, it reads like an adult toy that goes where the sun doesn’t shine. But maybe that is just a dirty mind😇

[@mikebox]

I’ve got the standard Udun this same size and love it. Over 16 years now. The convex blade is perfect. Sadly it’s not a full tang. And sadly the sheath isn’t up to the same level and quality of the knife. I believe that this is the best field knife ever built.

[@jean-baptistedemets3477]

The handle made me think of a knife i haven't seen reviewed but that i'm quite curious about: the Rinaldi 240 hunting knife. Cheapest convexe you can find, and if it's as good as their axes, then it's a bargain !

[@colbunkmust]

So... when will they make a Magnacut version?🤔

[@McJollyGreen]

tbf the vg 10 probably performed better than before because of all of your aftermarket sharpening. Grind angle has the biggest effect on edge retention outside of material choice, so you actually might have made the knife better than it could be out of the factory

As soon as I saw this knife was released i checked your channel for this video. Been waiting a few weeks for this !

Hi. I own it since 2 years. In my experience, just a bit of beewax couple of times every year. But mostly, just use it with dirty and sweat hands. And don’t forget to spit on your hand before using it….Gets more grippy….at least for me. Enjoy it.
