Maybe don’t buy a $1700 knife? Our experience

The Fallkniven Nl5 has long been among our favourite knives. However, in the meantime we have tested many other knives and many new steels. So... how does this $1700,- Fallkniven hold up now that we have also tested a Rockstead knife or other newer super steel knives?

I love your guys energy when testing or just having fun but it was so refreshing to have a nice calm video of just two friends having fun.

[@joolsthefish2854]

Well done guys, tough times indeed but great to see you pushing forward…

[@ideryd]

Were just in "need" of a new knife so tuned in here again looking at some reviews 😊 You guys are amazing!

[@chrisszaroleta]

When my weekly Thursday reminder goes off at 1:59pm MST, I get pretty damn excited to see you fellas. I'm not entirely certain what cut of beef that was, but I was drooling by the end. Great video, guys!

[@luvefb18]

Keep up the good work guys. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you and your families. Your videos make all of us here smile so Thank you.

[@markkoehler5110]

The filming and music are top notch! I love it!

[@mathewvanorden0623]

always excited when you guys post.

[@ssunfish]

I saw Rockstead DON like Mikkie B has was for sale this week. I really like it. 67 HrC! Then I remembered that I wanted Falkniven Northern Lights NL5 Indun in cowry x.for MUCH longer Well surprise; surprise, DBK does a follow up video on it! That's really fantastic timing!!! You two friends have such deep wells of profound humanity. No matter what you do or do not. No matter where life takes us, I'll remember you and all the fun I had watching your videos and trying the knives. Also the ones I skipped after starting to get one. I love the music too! Thank you for the video today!

[@BraxxJuventa]

Oooh.. Dat had ik ook graag geproefd! LOL! Thanks guys for yet another awesome video! 👍😁👍😁

[@dalepak1955]

I bought a cowry x santoku kitchen knife because of the review for this knife from you guys. Thanks for reviewing this rare steel.

[@KrcIIXpalm]

The time lapse shot of the fire burning down then stopping on martenn’s hanging foot was freaking awesome. It’s super impressive to see how far the cinematography has come in these videos.

[@thatguywiththechainsaws]

Great to know that knife is lemonaded. Nice words Mickey

[@k.n.v.b1113]

Thanks for making videos guys would miss this

[@alaskaraftconnection-alask3397]

Great video DBK-guys. Super nice al-rounder-type knife in overall design and qualities. For me - yes - too much $$$. That said, I'd wager it's great in hand; and perhaps it retains much of its value even as a user when well taken care of. As pointed out... the sheath is also a great looking design. I think it is highly relevant content for you guys to have, share, assess, and use this kind of knife === no matter the price tag. Good stuff DBK!!!

[@michealwilliams8130]

That beef looked incredible! Keep it up guys.

[@The4cp]

Love you guys. That Tiger looks amazing!

You guys make this hobby worth it. Keep posting all that useful amusing content and I hope whatever is going on you continue to stay in high spirits. Later fellas.

[@DSON89]

You guys are awesome. Take care.

[@bryanin602]

As I watch your video I can’t help but think of Maarten’s beautiful mother. I can imagine it would be hard to just keep going and doing the same thing. You want to the world to stop turning just to show that she existed and was wonderful. I can’t even imagine losing mine but I know one day it will come. My thoughts are with you guys and just know halfway around the world here in Phoenix, Arizona, USA that I care. ❤️

[@deez5396]

The jacket that mikkie is wearing looks so cool I used to have one that looked like it but I lost it Also I’m so used to seeing you guys in the forest that It was a bit weird seeing you guys in town

[@Honk21]

Great vid boys ! Thank you.

[@TheRooftopSHOUT]

I would end up using it even at that price. Nice knife!

[@Wideranger]

Nicely done.

[@dukachu885]

Would love to see a handle like the NL5's on a bark river squad leader 2, or maybe just a thumb width fuller on a falkniven

[@DtWolfwood]

Man I need to find me a butcher that sells hanger steaks around where I live. Always wanted to try it ever since learning about it.

[@TheTommyw77]

Top video Guys. Love from the UK.

[@joelhunter984]

Take that tenderloin (Cover it with olive oil, Montreal steak seasoning, pan sear it) and put it in a smoker with some mesquite hardwood for about two and a half hours at 225 degrees and you got perfection my Dutch Brothers!!!!

[@sovietrepublic38]

Nice video!! Will you review lionsteel T6? I really love lionsteel knives

[@georgeparmasha1076]

Great vid guys, matin's fly is down right before the knife give aways

[@jimathybindlenim6359]

hang steak is legit a beautiful cut. skirt steak is one of my favourites too

[@JosueGOrtega]

Increíble reseña yo tengo el s1 pro y esta bastante bien 👍 Saludos desde Tijuana B.C México

[@XenonLxx]

Do a video on the Glock Field Knife guys, please. It's cheap but some folks absolutely love it, some hate it. Has some undeniable history that's for sure.

[@georgehafidz7486]

i paid 38 euro for mine....was fantastic for that price, had it almost ten years until i broke it by batonning with the back of an axe after a while.

[@eyesintheskies]

I have the plain old vg10wolfram and love it was expensive enough but if I had this cowry x version I wouldn’t dare use it. So FairPlay for having the balls 👍

[@deathcommando1]

Enjoy yourselves guys and friendship is awesome. Lost my best childhood to adulthood friend awhile back. It’s weird Richie isn’t here anymore.

[@johndifrancisco3642]

I can really see a difference in you guys. I'm sorry yous are going through this. I can't wait till yous are feeling back to normal. All the best to you both.

[@majormitchell01]

Hello legends. Love you guys and hope your all ok. Maarten I’m afraid your fly was down. Only caught it at the end 🤣🤣 Hope no body got hurt 😝

[@bigdan62]

🤦🏽Lol! Was just going tell him!

[@christanner3770]

I bet your tongue was hanging out while you were watching.

[@slick_slicers]

Yesterday I shot a video of my Rockstead knives two years on as EDC carries. It’ll be out on 18 June. Don’t waste expensive knives, use them!

[@froggyhopper1]

You need to check if your zipper is up or down. Great video.

[@JJ-qi9zn]

I like your DBK knife in Elmax better and the price is also better.

[@chones01]

I couldn’t find a review and destruction test on the bushcraft black on your channel. A vs. battle with the pathfinder and the black would be interesting to see.

[@albertoagnesani7190]

Don t say sorry for the video... u can make a video on whatever u want couse is not about the video its about u guys u're the stars!!!!! Thank u for all love from Italy 🇮🇹🤙

[@farnorthsnowdaddy8224]

great video guys💕💕 all the love from here💕

[@clausfjeldingwhitt152]

Thanks for the video. In your first video about this knife you treated the handle with wax or something. Could you describe how you did it? Thanks from Claus / Heavy Metal Expeditions

[@anesmono11]

Dear Sir, as one of the numbered dbk knife owners in kickstarter and captive fan of yours, please receive my condolences from Somalia... And please also put up your zipper, in the last scene some little bird was about to escape...

Have you guys ever tested a Bradford knife? I just got their Gaurdian 5.5 in Elmax. Really sweet blade. You should check them out

[@user-xv8rc3rz3n]

Hello. I would like to know your opinion. Should I choose one knife for survival and hunting between Falkniwen A1 vs Bark River Bravo 1 (or 1.5)?

[@charlesjonestherednecknerd]

Sweating my butt off here in Arkansas with heat indexes of 110 F or 43 C to see you two in jackets. I miss Heidelberg Germany at times like this. Yeah nope can't afford this knife, (my wife would uhm throw a fit) but luckily I get to use knives daily if I want and Arkansas has great ownership and carry laws. Personally any Fallkniven would find a place here. Closest I have is an SRK in VG10 and a Trailmaster in VG1 both by cold steel and I love em. Great seeing that one again, it is a beauty!

[@bobjohnson1633]

You're the one that chooses to live on the plateaus of Arkansas. Montana is nice this time, or any time of year.

[@charlesjonestherednecknerd]

@@bobjohnson1633 Actually when younger the wife and I talked of moving to Montana. It is beautiful. However it is a bit nicer here in the winter months with temos in the 50's and up to 70.

[@cormacmccarthy1559]

You guys have some fun videos to watch. You know... I wonder why you don't test out Buck Knives. And for me in the bush I use my knife for everything and I know I have a good one if I can shave a week beard off. Not a Sunday best but at least give me a fresh face. It seems to me ease of food prep. Setting up camp. Taking apart animals (pigs and deer) a good hot shave, and not worrying about my knife poking through the sheath if I fall are most important. To me the 110 is still the best. Fits all of my realistic requirements. I would love to see a video about the 110... mostly for the humor you guys bring to your take on the knives. And honestly it would be fun to see you shoot the 110 out of curiosity.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

Hey Cormac, thank you so much for your kind words!. I actually had a buck 110 but traded it along the way. The build quality was amazing but I didn't like the edge retention on it.

[@cormacmccarthy1559]

@@DutchBushcraftKnives hahaha cool. you know they make them in sv30 now. And the shaving may be cool to add to your testing. Right on... still funny stuff!

[@JonJon-ey8ns]

When are you guys going to do a review of a Winkler Knifes, especially the Winkler Belt Knife and the Field Knife? Winkler made the knives and tomahawks for the movie “Last of the Mohicans” movies. Great knives made in classic early American designs.

[@tphvictims5101]

SUP GUYS 😉👍🏻 Miike is car jacking AGAIN! Wait until those mushrooms kick in 😉👍🏻

[@GoodDaySir]

Currently watching and crossing fingers this doesn't end up with a lost tip and you don't fire a rifle at it.

[@GoodDaySir]

...and relief. You're totally right on price and being too pretty making you baby knives a bit. It's why I've switched to micarta instead of wood and inlays on any BRK I get, it's cheaper, you still get the same blade and I'm more inclined to use it as a tool.

[@docholiday8618]

XYZ Marten! ;) Thanks for the vid guys!

[@gsteixner]

Thoughts on the Bark River Puukko? Also, any chance you can do a video going over different blade shapes and their pros and cons; specifically the Nessmuk, the Kephart, the Puukko, and the Aurora? Thanks! I've seen EVERY video you've put out (yes, even the very first ones w/o intros that don't show Maartin's beautiful face)! Thanks for the laughs and knowledge!

[@DinoNucci]

Steak is called Skirt Steak here in USA. Similar to flank steak. Common in Latin cuisine too. Cook super high heat, and cut against the grain. (You're right at lungs: it's the diaphragm) Hugs

[@heterosexualcaucasianmale3115]

It’s a hanger steak.

[@bigripper2048]

I enjoy the cooking videos a lot, I hope you guys continue making them from time to time. All my best to you during this tough time Maarten, DBK army stands with you.

[@davidthomson2794]

I saw that rusty old oil drum behind you both and hoped you'd go for it with the knife Lynn Thompson/Cold steel "style" 🤣 I get the expensive knife thing, but as a user/tool you'll get pretty much the same performance for a lot less money. That type of money will also get you a knife from a world class maker, but if you've the money and it makes you happy then that's what matters I guess.

[@bobjohnson1633]

Pocket knife, pocket pry tool, handgun, 4" fixed blade. NOTHING you can't handle.

[@nastyt.1017]

hey guys i know that you're usually not a fan of folding knives HOWEVER as someone that's been getting more and more into ultra light backpacking i was looking for a knife that is compact, lightweight and still big enough to make a fire etc and not fail on me should i get myself into a pickle. I've been looking at the Benchmade 533 MINI BUGOUT for a while now, could you guys please give your impressions on that knife? also it would probably be a great idea for a video if you could talk about lightweight and compact knives for ultra light backpacking as most ultra light backpackers run around with a victorinox Classic SD in which case you might aswell take your toenail clipper lol

[@Mr.Schitzengigglez]

I can't see myself paying that much for a knife. Fortunately, I live down the road from one of the best bladesmiths to ever be on Forged in Fire, and I'm currently finishing designs on my own knife. It will still be expensive, but only about half the cost of that one.
