Unleash The Beast! // Ka-Bar Becker BK2

[@mgaines3707]

“Don’t strike the fire steel with the blade it ruins the edge” *proceeds to smash a brick with the edge*

[@kinetoscopes]

This has become a classic episode. I come back to watch it every now and then. From the epic destruction feel to the relaxed bushcrafting and food prepping this is a well balanced good time!

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

Awesome. Thanks a lot! We really appreciate it

[@mikaelrabb1876]

Me too

[@samueljames8026]

Hehe

[@JayquannSmith]

I bought this knife because of this video.

[@themidnightanimal1555]

Funny you described it as a crowbar with an edge. I have literally used my Bk2 as a crowbar when I was in Afghanistan a few time. Cracking open a crate or freeing up a rusted or malformed door or hatch. Knife is a great all rounder.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

thats very cool to hear! cheers!

[@ewanpaff2848]

[@stock1098]

I have used mine to chisel through old nails on wooden pallets we were breaking down and to rip up carpet striping out of concrete and all kinds of other hard use and while it's not as putty as it was when I first got its still going strong 7 years later..it really is the best all in 1 knife.

Dutch Bushcraft Knives I wanted to buy a survival knife, but I do not know which one is better (schrade schf36 / ka-bar bk2 / schrade schf52 (m)

[@davidkhrystenko]

Andre Gomes The schf36 is the cheapest one. I have it and it's a great knife that holds a great edge. My only problem with it is the handle which I don't pay attention to when I use it.

[@kiltedcripple]

The Becker BK series knives have far and away the best contoured grips I've ever felt. I haven't done the micarta swap out, but even with that, I have never felt hot spots or like I was losing control of the knife as my hands fatigued. I did grip tape my BK9, and once that was on, yeah even wet, I have never feared the knife coming out of my hand until I set it down. Evidently, Ethan and I have exactly the same size hands.

I have this knife for almost 3 years now, but i never touched it cause i got disappointed from its weight. Now you got me thinking of starting using it. Thanks guys!

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

it's not really a knife you hang on your belt for your trips and stuff. this knife is that kind if item that you just want because you want it. It's a great knife to play around with around the shed. I sold my previous one and always regretted it.

[@321berber]

you should check out the bk9 if you like beasty knives! :D

[@thomasn8566]

Very true. a beast of a knife.

[@bhsx]

321berber Yeah but the bk2 is sort of the everyman's heavy duty chopper. It's the middle porridge.

[@deplorableminime2453]

I live my BK 7 and BK 9 I disliked the BK 2 (and not becuse its shorter but because the overly thick blade)

[@MrGeerbear]

Maarten and Mikkie- great review and mods. These knives are made just a couple of hours from me. Ka-Bar's have a great history. My buddy, who just loves your channel is a Vietnam vet. He brought over his USMC Ka-Bar from his time in the Vietnam War. He never sharpened it in the two years he was deployed. He was in combat and beat the shit out of it. It had zero rust. He asked me to clean it and I actually got dirt off of it from Vietnam. It was too cool, knowing the history of that knife. It was an honor to clean it for my buddy. It was still pretty sharp too. Your channel has gone viral and I understand why. Remember I'm coming to visit sometime. Holland rules.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

thanks a lot! Thanks for sharing the cool story! i can really understand the feel you get from something like that.. even though it's just dirt you can just get goosebumps fantasising what it must have been going trough there. happy winter days and best to you!

Dutch Bushcraft Knives many thanks for reply boys and iam surprised about the condor.Can I ask your advice and opinion for a good value bushcraft knife.I do have a mora clipper for light butchery skinning rabbits preparing pigeons Pheasants etc.....All advice greatlfully recieved.Tony

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

+Tony Ashton hey Tony, the Clipper is great for its price. A little step up would be the Mora Bushcraft force. It hasnt a great handle. I don't know many other good Knives in the 30-100 range. Most of them are Just fancy And lack quality. You might want to check out the patriot manly. I'm going to get one soon in cpm154. I Think it will Make a great knife for its price. Of course Enzo trapper or a fallkniven f1 would be amazing.

Awesome video thanks guys, I actually was born/raised and still live in Olean,NY where kabar knives are made! Also case cutlery, Ontario knives and microtech along with zippo lighters are all made withing a 10min drive from my front door so it is great to hear from fellas who own thousand dollar knives that our quality and craftsmanship from the late 1800's still earns respect and can take a whoopin lol

[@finest9176]

Do you have some shitty knife laws in holland like we have here in Germany or do you just like small blades better ? Nice vid thx a lot.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

We have a lot of laws about knives but we have a rule of thumb. We can carry a knife as long as it fits the situations. Carrying a knife in town is always a no go. If you carry a machete on your backpack when you are in the woods it's no problem at all. I always have a fixed blade on my belt when i'm walking the forest. Thanks!

[@ek1885]

Dutch Bushcraft Knives i carry a knife always in the city in the store with a deep knife clip and in my pocket.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

I also have an edc folder with my in the city but it's not visible.

[@finest9176]

Nice, at least that rule of thump makes kinda sense ... minus the no knife in the city part. I tend to ignore German knife laws becaus they make no sense at all.. could be expensive if i get caught one day but i just can't put up with some stuff that seems to be made to annoy people for no good reason.

GREAT VIDEO!!! You made is very clear what the knife was for, why you did the tests you did, and how well it could perform. The mods you did are superb knife. I always say that it's best to have multiple knives and this, "crowbar with an edge" as you call it, is a knife that could go a very LONG way toward providing long term security and vitality if one was left in a genuine survival situation. I don't own this KA-BAR but I am now considering it. Thanks for a great video. Your disclaimers are very clear and help the viewer know exactly why and what you guys are doing every second of the video, excellent.

I don't need to look at any other knife review channels. I used to own a BK2, but sold it off. I wasn't really using it, but your enthusiasm makes it look very appealing. Great work, looking forward to more good stuff.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

thanks a lot! I had the Bk2 before and sold it because it was not very nimble and stuff. However, I always regretted selling it.. It's just tat kind of item that you want yo have just because you want it. It's a fun knife for around the shed though. The canvas handle does make it a lot better in my opinion.

[@redpanda1971]

Yeah, the Becker micarta scales are actually really nice. I moved them to my BK9, when I sold the 2. Ended up selling that one, too. If we end up living in a post-apocalyptic Mad Max world, I'm gonna miss both of them.

Hey guys, Really enjoying these videos. Beautifully edited, always hilarious, and wonderfully informative. Thanks so much for all the work you put into these, the effort shows and is greatly appreciated! Are either of you familiar with Condor knives? Reasonably cheap, and it shows, (mainly in a plasticky handle and a softish stee quite prone to rust) but still workhorses that won't die! I've owned the Varan for a few years now, and I still can't decide if I like it or not. I'd love to hear of your experience with them!

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

thanks a lot! condor mostly uses 1070 steel. I would actually never buy a knife in 1070. It's a machete steel at best. They do look cool for their price though. Condor would be a nice knife for in the shed to do some chores with you wouldn't use your expensive knife for. I don't have any experience with condor knives and I don't know if they use any other steels as well.
