Hey, hey, hey.. next time when you play with heavy chooper knife wear gripping glove and put paracord for lanyard in your hand.. Your both lucky today that's blade not flying to others body.. safety first my man!!
I just contacted Malanika. I await his reply on waits to the UK. I still laugh at a comment from a few videos ago "He thinks it's night..." because it just implies that the other person is SO FAR gone into lala land that they don't know night from day and yet, inexplicably are trusted with extremely sharp knives and fire hahaha
I recall being able to get a blade from him in like 4 months. Then you 2 💩's did a video on his knives & it went up to a 12 month wait. God knows what the wait is now....
Either buying is slowing down or manufacturing is picking up because three years ago I couldn't find anything in large knife survival then suddenly over past yr I can find almost any.
this is as close to a perfect knife as u can get. great choice of steel v4e is the bets steel on the planet my a mile. u should review the cpm 3v cold steel competition chopper when it comes out
Damn booooois, you getting better and better with every video. I somehow ended up on your channel a few years ago and since that time i see how did you progressed. Well done and never stop evolving. Thank you for content
You guys gotta try the batoning hack I saw Dave Canterbury show. When you get stuck, flip everything and put the spine on the stump and beat on the end of the piece of wood with the mallet. Worked sweet in his video.
I massively look forward to all your reviews. Always interesting and definitely puts a smile on my face with all the banter. As always love to you and yours from the UK.
I would love to see a database with all of the knives you have tested, with their scores. Objective attributes such as dimensions, weight, steel, sharpness. And then subjective scores which come from your expertise and knowledge. This would be a very valuable dataset!
@DutchBushcraftKnives not at all. You have all stats and info uploaded in all the past videos. Would just be a bit of work to compile everything all into one area but very possible. Im surprised that all the subscribers and the knife community hasn't already done so for you. Knowing now the people want it. im sure all us Knife Nuts out there will all band together and help out compiling everything together. Keep doing your thang guys. You two are highlights of many peoples week. DBK IS THE BEST.
Looks great! Always love a good competition style chopper. My favorite is my Jose Diaz "pointy cane toad" knife in CPM-M4. Made around 12 years ago. The non-pointed tip version won Bladesports back in the day. Monster sized razor, easily the best chopper I've handled. And I love big knives.
This is a awesome chopper I like this knife, everything, design, handle looks comfortable and of course the steel Vanadis 4 Extra. My best chopper I own is the Bark River Ja-Nap, 2nd is TOPS El Chete, 3rd is Cold Steel Gurkha Kukri Plus 3v and 4th is Bark River Bravo 3. A honorable mention the Fällkniven Moderne Bowie is also a really good chopper but not as good as the other chopping knives I own.
Biggest question - if you put an identical edge on the silky would it feather and whatnot as well or better... Would it still chop as well? Which would last better? You can buy silky for $90 now. I didn't even know silky made other than saws until I saw this video. Probably going to pick up a couple.
Fantastic ep as always. Thanks to you guys I have a Malanika Puuko in Magnacut and a Leuku in Cru Wear and both are absolutely epic. The builds are extraordinarily good. Daniel is a real craftsman
My 2 alltime favorite ateels?are Ballbearing and Vanadis 4 Extra. Cpm 3V can,t be as good. The other 2 can cut for longer time before sharpening and in the same time they sharpen easier!
Would love to see you guys review some work tuff gear knives. I just got two of their knives…a joe flowers design pukko and a massive puzon designed predator hunter Bowie and maaaaaaan are they flipping sweet. You guys need to get a hold of the predator hunter Bowie for sure because it’s just wicked sick and pick any of their other knives that strike your fancy.
Niiiice boys, i too have got one being custom made currently and it is in 4V which is basically the same as Vanadis4E but being a disabled combat veteran myself ive got purple heartwood handles and the wood is just beautiful anyways but yes suoer stoked to get it and while waiting i went ahead and tried my hand at regrinding the Woodbuster by Condor which is also similarly designed but super thick behind the edge and really unusable in stock form so it had to be thinned down drastically however once i did regrind it the thing became a beast! Still just 1075 so the 4V chopper is going to be a massive improvement also these are spec'd out to be legal for bladesports competition!
I bought The Matt Graham knife years ago when it 1st came out, and I have loved it for camping, but I had to put some Paracord around the handle due to the Hickory was slippery when chopping, but now it seems so many have upped the anty on new great knife making. I do love The El Salvador steel Condor uses.... But they all are a big chunk of steel huh? Lol ya know that knife keeps a great edge though. It came sharp enough to shave with. How do you like the Wood buster? I am a Vet as well.
Do me a favor...and test out ancient smithy's axes...its ancient smithy...his name is mike...from Ukraine...ive been ordering from him for 5 years...and found his blade work is actually really good...i would like to see what you guys think
Hey guys, amazing video as always! 😄 How about review-ing more mid price blades like civivi concept 22, civivi aratra, mora eldris, crkt razel or some bushcraft oriented blades like cold steel finwolf, realsteelknives pathfinder folder, and do on
G'day Guys, when the seaxs come out, I'm sure someone has already mentioned the Skrama, which I love. However; in my experience a good prarang is better again for big boy tasks ; ) Cheers Duke.

Hey, hey, hey.. next time when you play with heavy chooper knife wear gripping glove and put paracord for lanyard in your hand.. Your both lucky today that's blade not flying to others body.. safety first my man!!

WHAT IS THAT BUCKET THAT SHOOTS WATER WITH NO CONNECTION TO HOUSE WATER ???????????????
I just contacted Malanika. I await his reply on waits to the UK.
I still laugh at a comment from a few videos ago "He thinks it's night..." because it just implies that the other person is SO FAR gone into lala land that they don't know night from day and yet, inexplicably are trusted with extremely sharp knives and fire hahaha
beside the knives, i appreciate your friendship. real friends are hard to find. chapeau
Malanika. Great Croatian custom knife maker 👍❤
If money was no object, that would be 100% in my collection.. Haha! It looks fantastic! Well done Malanika!!
I recall being able to get a blade from him in like 4 months. Then you 2 💩's did a video on his knives & it went up to a 12 month wait. God knows what the wait is now....
I waiting on a knife from him right now. He said 5 months, I've got 1-2 months left to wait so I'm not 100% sure what the wait is if you ordered now
hahahaah sorry :D
Agreed. Anything they review goes up in price or wait times. But I totally understand they got to make content and their videos are awesome!
Haha!
Either buying is slowing down or manufacturing is picking up because three years ago I couldn't find anything in large knife survival then suddenly over past yr I can find almost any.
Amazing blade, monster chopper, thank you for showing it.
this is as close to a perfect knife as u can get. great choice of steel v4e is the bets steel on the planet my a mile. u should review the cpm 3v cold steel competition chopper when it comes out
yes, those 2 tools are making great videos for us, gentleman.
Wow! What an incredible piece of steel. I don’t really have a use for a chopper, but what a piece of knife making art.
I'm waiting for my first Malanika to be completed. He told me 5-6 months wait at the end of January. So any day now!
Mikkie B. now looking like a 1987 synthesizer player! Martin looking more like an 18th Century French trapper in the North American frontier.
Another world beating, Best knife ever !!! How many Best Knives Ever are there ? Love watching you guys.
I have a benchmade 171 competition chopper - in CPM-M4. Reminds me a lot of these choppers. nice video.
It looks like the Skrama blade shape but in Vanadis 4E, very nice.
I love your videos, keep up the great work!
only large knife I didnt sell is Bar River JX5 Vengful, love it.
Very interesting to see the performance difference in comparison to the price difference with the silky.
4V sitting at high hardness is crazy awesome. Very stable edges.
You are great guys! With respect from Ukraine.
God I love your guys' relationship, you're like brothers. I've never seen two better friends.
Polish knife maker Kornalski also make huge blades with supersteels . I'd like to see you guys testing one of his blades .
Thank you for the shout out
cutting phonebook paper after that was pretty amazing. Great video, guys!
Their is something truly special about hand made custom knives that Production Knives could never compete with.
That is what a call a beastly blade!
Thank God For DBK.
My DBK comes in this week!!!!!!
Can’t wait!!!
The Day of DBK! 💪🏽 🥳
Now I gotta order a Malanika!!!! Damnit!!!!
That handle is super nice, love it
Damn booooois, you getting better and better with every video. I somehow ended up on your channel a few years ago and since that time i see how did you progressed. Well done and never stop evolving. Thank you for content
Thanks mate!! We do our best!!
Very nice. And combining it with the puuko would be a nice match 🇳🇿
I'm pretty sure I used that exact machete to chop off limbs in the Fallout series!
Ive got a skrama 240, junglas and just picked up a worktuffgear nomad camp. I'm really liking the look of this as well.
And looking at the tops bestia
You guys gotta try the batoning hack I saw Dave Canterbury show. When you get stuck, flip everything and put the spine on the stump and beat on the end of the piece of wood with the mallet. Worked sweet in his video.
My collection has only a few knives I would never sell, one being a Malanika maaseppänpuukko. Danijel Haramina is an outstanding knifesmith!
I massively look forward to all your reviews. Always interesting and definitely puts a smile on my face with all the banter. As always love to you and yours from the UK.
I would love to see a database with all of the knives you have tested, with their scores. Objective attributes such as dimensions, weight, steel, sharpness. And then subjective scores which come from your expertise and knowledge. This would be a very valuable dataset!
That would be very interesting indeed. But the work to get all data back would be crazy hahaha
@DutchBushcraftKnives not at all. You have all stats and info uploaded in all the past videos. Would just be a bit of work to compile everything all into one area but very possible. Im surprised that all the subscribers and the knife community hasn't already done so for you.

@@DutchBushcraftKnives When you have like a couple of million subscribers maybe you can pay someone to do that work!
I’d buy that if money was no object. Excellent blade
It wins against bone!!! Nice one boys!!
Another great one guys! Love that knife!
Amazing Chopper 🤯🤯🤯
uffffff de verdad que estas demostraciones de el filo de los cuchillos con su carisma es mucho mas emocionante excelente video
Looks great! Always love a good competition style chopper. My favorite is my Jose Diaz "pointy cane toad" knife in CPM-M4. Made around 12 years ago. The non-pointed tip version won Bladesports back in the day.
Monster sized razor, easily the best chopper I've handled. And I love big knives.
Thats one sweet blade I think my next knife has to be a malanika for sure
Loved the video lads, funny and interesting, great knife or chopper as well, seriously sharp.🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Loooooool that ending cracked me up
Dulo made a Vanadis 4E for me. Best edge I’ve ever used.
one day i will buy myself one of malanikas knives
This is a awesome chopper I like this knife, everything, design, handle looks comfortable and of course the steel Vanadis 4 Extra.

Such fun watching your videos!
And I am still hyped every time that giveaway music is playing!
This video was so enjoyable. And this knife, damn, it's something I one day hope to own.
Biggest question - if you put an identical edge on the silky would it feather and whatnot as well or better... Would it still chop as well? Which would last better? You can buy silky for $90 now. I didn't even know silky made other than saws until I saw this video. Probably going to pick up a couple.
Keep making Malanika Videos! I put a down payment on a Pukko in Magnacut by Danijel - won't get it until next spring/summer! Wahh!
Love your work guys! Can you review the White River FC7
Keep up the great work fellas. I'm surprised I didn't see the terava skrama for comparison honestly. Still great video!
Cheers guys
I demand at least 3 DBKs per week
Nice! Still love my Skarama though 😋
Fantastic ep as always. Thanks to you guys I have a Malanika Puuko in Magnacut and a Leuku in Cru Wear and both are absolutely epic. The builds are extraordinarily good. Daniel is a real craftsman
Awesome combo - esp. steel choices. Complete camping & woodcraft package. (Yes, I'm jealous .....) Have a great day.
Woooa
Love your vids guys
Svord makes a excellent Golok. You should try it.
Really want to see a traditional Nata w/ a chisel grind.
My 2 alltime favorite ateels?are Ballbearing and Vanadis 4 Extra. Cpm 3V can,t be as good. The other 2 can cut for longer time before sharpening and in the same time they sharpen easier!
Can you make a video on the condor village parang please 🙏
rofl thats some damn good sales right there Malanika should be sending you a big fat pay cheque for that AD hahaah amazing
Hahahaha thanks. Let's hope he reads the comments 😂
But nah, we can't take money for reviews. We have to stay as unbiased as possible
The Malanika looks like one of Seven Blades'custom knives from Malaysia a variation of the Parang
How does it compare to the Varusteleka Skrama?
Good question
How is this compared to the Skrama 240?
Would love to see you guys review some work tuff gear knives. I just got two of their knives…a joe flowers design pukko and a massive puzon designed predator hunter Bowie and maaaaaaan are they flipping sweet. You guys need to get a hold of the predator hunter Bowie for sure because it’s just wicked sick and pick any of their other knives that strike your fancy.
work tuff soon! :)
@@DutchBushcraftKnives fuck yeah dudes
Love your videos! Can you try review a diving knife Cressi Orca? Could be fun 😁🤞
Marten's shaggy look in this vid suits him, looking good boi
I wonderd when a blade sport knife would enter the woods x
Hey guys hope ya'll doing good!! Keep it up
Niiiice boys, i too have got one being custom made currently and it is in 4V which is basically the same as Vanadis4E but being a disabled combat veteran myself ive got purple heartwood handles and the wood is just beautiful anyways but yes suoer stoked to get it and while waiting i went ahead and tried my hand at regrinding the Woodbuster by Condor which is also similarly designed but super thick behind the edge and really unusable in stock form so it had to be thinned down drastically however once i did regrind it the thing became a beast!

At what size would you stop calling it knive?
Would be nice to have seen how it stack up against the skrama:)
Legends 🤙🏻
Good for Al Grithom!
Would love to see ya'll put a dawson knife through the ringer.
First comment. Greetings from Spain
Do me a favor...and test out ancient smithy's axes...its ancient smithy...his name is mike...from Ukraine...ive been ordering from him for 5 years...and found his blade work is actually really good...i would like to see what you guys think
If you ever want to make a trip to Florida we can test out knives with something other than an air rifle?
I prefer the el choppo from tops 💪🏼
In the chopping test, the melanika was further from the anchorage where the wood is more flexible.. this may affect the test
I tried to contact Malanika to order a Puukko. Damn difficult to get a hold of.
Hey guys, amazing video as always! 😄
How about review-ing more mid price blades like civivi concept 22, civivi aratra, mora eldris, crkt razel or some bushcraft oriented blades like cold steel finwolf, realsteelknives pathfinder folder, and do on
Last week we had a great mid range blade
Would like a chopper like that but in a Parang shape…
9.30 so sharp still
Please review a Work Tuff Gear knife.
This is because you have not yet tested PGK with a hardness of 61-62hrc and cryo treatment.
Basically a high end custom stainless Skrama. There’s one on eBay right now… for $1900 😭
How does this compare the the tops storm vector?
Have you ever tried testing the Polish hand made NS1? I'd e awesome if you did.
no sir sadly not
I like the sort of seax shape
DAAAMN!!! Daniel!!!
G'day Guys, when the seaxs come out, I'm sure someone has already mentioned the Skrama, which I love. However; in my experience a good prarang is better again for big boy tasks ; ) Cheers Duke.
Can you guys do the FOBOS Tier 1BC in Magnacut?
malanika for president
You absolutely must try kailash blades
soon!
