- Fallkniven... yeah we've been called fanboys...We like the brand but we always stay true and honest in our opinions. So when they came out with the F1x in elmax... one of our favourite steels we just had to try it... Even though we already had a few f1x's they again managed to blow our minds.

#Fallkniven #sharpest #f1xElmax
Most water carriers throughout history were coated with bee's wax or pitch on the inside. They not only patched any leak points the bees wax gave a sweet taste to the water kept in the vessel.
thats awesome! thanks for sharing!
95% watertight = 100% leaking.
Most knive owners who want to go outroad dont look just for sharpest knive ever... What a clickbait.
@@jimlahey5623 Perhaps you need to learn what clickbait is. This is NOT "clickbait" as they literally proved it had the sharpest factory edge of any knife they have previously tested (INCLUDING THEIR OWN KNIFE)
Yes any knife can easily be sharpened but the title stating that fallkniven "made the sharpest knife of 2022" is 100% true. Again it was literally the sharpest factory knife they have ever tested.
@@sgtfatrod8901 nope i dont need to. Just compare knive specifics and you will know..
Happy birthday Mickey. I love that you use your knives. Getting a Falkniven as a birthday present is so cool. What a good friend Martin is.
I still don't have any Fallknivens. Maybe one day I will get to try one out.
I was just looking at these on their website and thought: "Too bad DBK doesn't have a video on these." Then, all the knife planets aligned!
Sharpest knive is elementum fixed
another awesome video!! just wait until fallkniven starts using magnacut, it’s got to happen eventually! elmax is amazing either way though just like you guys
I love salty licorice. I'm swedish. When I studied in the states I wanted to share my love of salty licorice caramels. Oddly, nobody appreciated them the way I do. Actually, most people reacted the same way you guys did. 😅
We have very salty licorice in Holland too, like the double salt licorice (dubbel zoute drop) so pretty much everyone in Holland is used to it. That only goes to show how salty this licorice was :)
@@keesketsers5866 I got curious, so yesterday I ordered two jars of "svenskjävlar" licorice. Picked them up an hour ago. They were great! Salty, yes. But not excessively so,,, IMO. 😊👍
@@tidls : I'm going to Sweden this holiday so I will be sure to try them!
Three things: 1) Mikkie has THE most scandalous, infectious laugh, ever. Even if you don't get the joke he's laughing at, his LAUGHTER is hilarious! 2) I LOVE the genuine friendship the two of you have. Only your real friend would both prank you mercilessly AND give you such an amazing gift without even batting an eye. 3) You're going to make me buy a Falkniven. Stoppit!
Recently discovered you guys and now I can't stop watching. Didn't know knife videos could be this fun big thanks guys.
Dude y’all have the best channel. It doesn’t have to be serious to be educational and y’all prove it. ✌️
Thanks a lot Fred! We appreciate it a lot
I love Elmax. 2 of my favorite knife are 8n Elmax. PM2 with a Krein regrind to 0.005 and a Cultrotech Slim which is at 65hrc and a 2mm stock making for 9ne hell of a great cutter.
If 2 Dutch guys can't handle this salted liquorice, it must be pretty salty! I just bought an F1xb off your recommendation! I decided to get that tungsten carbide coating for a bit more weather resistance, I tend to mistreat my tools at times haha. Cheers, from a Dutch descendant, living in Australia!
May it serve you well my friend!
That liquorice is from hell
Being from Sweden myself I can confirm it´s the best candy there is, it´s almost as good as a Fällkniven knife or the DBK-boys ;)
it's death by candy
@@DutchBushcraftKnives HAHAHA lol 😂
We need a bit more Finnish attitude here. A little sisu. The lawnmower dude has got to have Finn in him. Laplander, maybe. Eat the candy and just look at the camera. Never show emotion, especially when dealing with invaders from the east… 🇫🇮
Several nights in a row watching DBK videos that I've seen multiple times until the sun comes up. I keep filling up my cart on Blade HQ, Amazon, and knifecenter while planning camping and hiking trips. Cheers, Mikkie and Martin. I appreciate all your content. Also, long live the Wodan Boys.
"Maarten doesn't agree with me, but I do agree with me". hahahahaha :D
I am sold! Love fallkniven and have bunch of them and use them all. I was not thinking of buying another but now I am thinking that I must get this one
They're relatively expensive, but the reality is that buying the Fallkniven branded knives are the cheapest way to get hold of a Hattori.
I bought one of these and yeah, it’s quite good. I have wimpy delicate hands so I sanded the rubber scales down a bit to make them a little less aggressively grippy and it’s a very comfortable knife now. The feel of the Elmax blade as Fallkniven has shaped the blade and treated the steel, reminds me a great deal of my older carbon bladed Puukkos. Just that slight bite into wood and utterly slicey. The point is dropped just enough to make the point narrow enough for most of bushcraft projects. Heck if you want a real carver get a puukko or a sloyd knife. But the F1x really nails it for me.
Oh boy, I've been considering buying a Fällkniven R2 Scout for a while now, but this Fällkniven F1x Elmax would also be a really good choice. I think I'm leaning towards the F1x because removable knife handle scales = big bonus for me. 👍
So happy you tried out my favorite liquorice brand, Haupt Lakrits from Sweden. "Svenskjävlar" is Swedish for Swedish Bast**ds and are very salty and tasty, indeed.
I just got this knife today !! First high end knife so happy with it can't wait to take it out into the woods !!
That's awsome man, hope you enjoy it
In case you didn't know, DBK sells compound.
And strops
And knives too!
Got the R2 Scout (elmax) a while back. It’s a great little brother of the F1. Great video!
@@guy_s3383 I like the R2. It's definitely a backup knife because of it's size. The steel and construction is Fallkniven thick and tough. Odd not seeing the lamination line because it's elmax. But yeah, purchased before the F1 elmax was released. But I have a F1x with the COS and tungsten carbide finish (spine not very sharp and the finish doesnt help). But the R2 has a great sharp spine if you don't have a scraper.
Because Elmax is not laninated.
This is you guys' best video yet, and that is saying a whole lot. It's Complete, captures everything you're all about and shows practical use in the field. You guys are the shit!
PLEASE review the bradford gaurdian 4.5 in 3v PLEASE
More of these video's. Love learning. And thank you guy's.
This knife costs about 220 usd, for reference a BRKT Bushcrafter costs 250. This has arguably fancier steel and better QC. In this instance I'm not sure id say it is over priced.
I was surprised as well. Less expensive as many folders.
Awesome video as always! :) Maybe if you cut chamfers on the outside edges of the log, where the joints are, then you could more easily apply or pour resin onto the joints and have less leaks
There is an artist on ETSY ( I think out of South Korea) who is doing African Blackwood scales for the F1x. I purchased the scales for my Elmax F1x and was very pleased. 1- it is flush with the handle making the grip more comfortable (obviously this might impair the scales on battoning but way more substantial grip; the thermorin scales are shit and peel off at screw points) 2- in the aesthetic design of the grip are hidden finger grooves which eliminate what I was afraid would be sweet spots in the handle. The scales also fit the factory sheath. I love the modifications they did to the X sheaths but to keep the factory sheath one is very limited in handle scale design. I had reached out to Erick at Falkniven suggesting they might want to offer varied scales for both the more practical purpose of a better handle material that could suit the thinness required to fit the sheath ( stronger material than thermorin) and to allow one to mix and match to dress up the knife - keep the suit get a new tie as it were, but he did not seem ready to do this. Scales remain very limited in after market but thus ETSY person got it right
Can you please provide a link to the Etsy vendor? Thank you.
@@junglejay77 the seller is Jin Wo Ann the company is Woody Goody on ETSY
Fällkniven is going to launch classic F1 model in Elmax as well. They want to bring first 1000pcs Test Series during summer.
Do fermented shark next!
Love the TRC knives in Elmax, fantastic steel!
Have you guys sent Survival Lily a DBK knife to review?
I am sure they wont do that. For what? Hahah
I decided I'll get this thing for my birthday next month. Second ever knife, but its time to retire my Mora as my camping knife and I want something that works better than te Mora, and that's asking a lot, so I will go with this monster of a knife.
Hope your happy Whit your blade i own a f1pro and s1pro it's a Realy good knife for wood's
@@ghostman4446So far I'm amazed with this thing. I absolutely love it
Was literally minutes from buying a CoS S1X, saw the F1 Elmax option, checked for videos on it… and now this made me stutter… Do we know if the S1X have any plans for upgrades?
[edit] just ordered it. The F1X Elmax.
[edit] just got it. Damn this is a fine knife. It's almost hard to comprehend how such a thick bulky blade can be so extremely sharp. I also think it's the sharpest I've ever received out of the box, and I own a few thin Spydercos and Benchmade folders...
Benchmade and spdrk are crap.
I was looking at buying a F1 pro with COS but then saw this video. So just ordered my F1 pro Elmax. Hope I made the right choice?
And how it is? The edge is good, not chipping?
What’s easier to sharpen: Elmax or LamCos? Thank you so much for the awesome videos!
LamCos. Perfect for field sharpening
By the time Mikkie ran away with the liqourice i had forgotten it was a knife video.
That licorice is AWESOME!
Has anyone heard if there will be an S1X Elmax release?
I really want a pocket saw
Bahco folding saws are really cheap and great for the money.
I've been watching DBK long enough that when I saw the fire steel performance I said 6.5...a few seconds later...Mikkie: 6.5
LMAO hidden message in description:
You guys are legendary
my Sanrenmu 1006 had a 95 factory grind. and i am not the only one.
Just glad Fallkniven makes knives and not sweets. Another great vid guys.
Awesome test lads looks great and elmax is a special steel
I have an a1xb and its great
Rekindling the fallkniven love 🙂 I was at the DKE as well, but couldn't talk to you because of your groupies. Apparently you guys have a fanclub. I bought your stropping compound and will probably use it as my deodorant. Cheers, guys.
You need a Sweden/Finland Salty/Salmiak liquorice tour, and enjoy our knives too.
Thank you sir
You should get the brand new Enzo Trooper in 80crv2, for your next video!!!
I bought a couple. This is one fantastic knife. Perfect ergos, tough steel , easy to sharpen , well made leather sheath. 4-1/2" blade.
I love watching the videos of knives that you guys like
Another amazing review guys definitely going to get the Fallkniven F1xElmax now.
I Just bought one of these ist literally my first quality knife
You will learn to love the salty Swedish licorice. Thanks for another great video.
After what I saw in your video, I bought F1x elmax and I fell in love 🤩. It's a real beast and holds a sharpness like no other knife in my collection. I finally found what I was looking for. But I must admit that I would consider the S1 X elmax if it existed. Either way, it's the best knife of this size I've ever had in my hand during my entire life. (but I still dreaming about Idun🫠). Thanks for your Video 💪🏻, it was extremely helpful when deciding to buy this knife. I'm waiting for your next crazy videos. 🤪
Happy to hear it! Thank you for sharing
@@DutchBushcraftKnives Fortunately, Fallkniven includes medical patches in the kit. It has already come in handy 😂😂😂🔪🩸
What a good time! Fun video to watch and looked like M & M had fun making it! What a knife! 86; waaaaaat?
I was really curious about this knife. But I am getting to the point where it is getting harder to justify buying more knives. But I will do anyway and it will be all the fault of you guys. I hope you're proud of yourselves!
I have a question... Have you guys reviewed a Fallkniven F1x in Cos vs the F1x in Elmax? It would be interesting to see sharpness right out of the box and then the sharpness after 10 or so cuts on the rope!
Sad they didnt answered your comment! I would like to see it too, because elmax is quite expensive
@@jimlahey5623 Howdy from West Texas! They did respond in a private message to me on Patreon, but their answer didn't make sense to me at the time. Maarten was going thru the death of his mother at the time, so I just took it at that. I think it would be a cool comparison.... So.... I bought BOTH knives and did my own test!!!!! The ELMAX F1x out of the box was crazy sharp with a score of 105 on the BESS "EDGE ON UP Industrial sharpness tester. The COs F1x out of the box was still scary sharp with a score of 128. I cut a few pieces of rope and tested again. The ELMAX was at 115 and the COs was at 140. I then stropped them both 10 passes with some "Gunny Juice" 9 micron diamond stropping emulsion. (I highly recommend that stuff, it's amazing stropping emulsion) After the passes on the strop, the F1x in ELMAX was a 95!!!! and the F1x COs was at 118!!!!. Both razor sharp but that ELMAX is a beast of a steel! Hope this is informative for you. I should have recorded my testing, but I am not a UA-camr! Thanks for replying to my comment! Have a great day!
@@PerfectImperfections65 Thank you for taking the time to do this comparison. Very helpful
Thanks for info👍 greetings from🇵🇱
Great job guys! Thank you for the fun and hard work you put into making your videos.
Thank you for your kind words!
@@DutchBushcraftKnives Have you guys done a video on the Cold Steel Recon Scout?
@@j.p.4541 not yet
That was a great video. I've never really liked elmax until now. I think I'll start looking to get a knife in that steel. Thanks guys!!
That licorice is heavenly good!
Brilliant video guys. My PXL is Elmax and it's awesome. Can't wait for the F1x Elmax to hit the UK, I'll definitely be the first in the queue!!!
God damn man. You guys are the best advertisers for knives on the planet. I feel I already got the knives that I need. But when you got something like this popped up. Im already looking at my wallet. On another note. I gotta say that during an argument with my friends and loved ones like Mikki. "Martin does not agree with me how we should do this. But I do agree with me."
5:29 why did you stop the rope test at 10 cuts? Were you afraid it would outperform the DBK knife at 12 cuts? And it looks like you used a draw cut on the second string cut test on your scale after you used your diamond spray vs a push cut like the first test. It looks like you're being dishonest.
Get the F1 Pro Elmax next!!
There is some interesting techniques for making birch tar based on Neanderthal method. They made ergonomic handles out of it for stone tools that lasted for hundreds of thousands of years. That would be cool for you guys to recreate.
tried some of those swedish licorice that some girl came to work with special made with even more salt on them... horrible expirence until you suck all the salt away then it actually very good
My fallkniven f1x in cos wasn't very sharp out of the box love the knife but in my option the knife should be at least sharp enough to shave with out of the box never have I ever had this problem with cold steel other then that I love this knife
Why is the elmax version as thick and HEAVY as the *laminated* cos? Drives me nuts
How about the Knives of Alaska Bush camp Knife.. Made in Texas..
Send my bloody two bottles of compound already! Ive got a unstropped F1 CoS lying around here! SAAAVE MEEE DBK BOOYZ
Nice review guyz! Thx and keep up thé good work!
Unreal vid , vintage DBK vibes
Good video as always 👌
Can you make a fallkniven F1X cos vs F1X Elmax? Edge retention, easy of sharpening, strength 💪 etc ??
Show us the pros and cons from this too steels.
Please 🙏
What music being played starting at 10:34 ? Love this channel. Really test knives with no bias. Just on their own merits. Thanks
Love the video. You guys are on top form! 10/10
loved this one
So this one is not laminated? Just all Elmax?
Yep
Man I just ordered my A1 Pro and then I saw this video... this knife seems better in almost every way. And it's cheaper.
I don’t know, was very disappointed with Fällkniven knives. I bought an S1 and an S1X both knives were made horribly bad quality wise… Asymmetric Blades, not flush fitting handles, rattling sheeth etc. But the most annoying thing for me is if the Knives aren’t symmetrical! Just like these cheap 30€ Amazon Chinese sh###! I was lucky to get an limited edition of the Lionsteel M5 in CPM 3V and the build quality is lightyears above everything i had so far. Absolutely symmetrical perfectly fine build quality! AND it’s CPM 3V! Also the Thick sturdy Sheath is very very well made and molle compatible. If you are looking for absolutely quality stuff made in Europe go Lionsteel
Returned my S1X for same issues. Emailed the owners a few times and they claimed the garbage was as intended even though the scales were like imported trash
You have to add a few different things to the resin to make it glue. I'm pretty sure poop is one of the ingredients.
Hah
That thing is sexy AF...
Great video, guys!
Now put the Spartan Blades Ronin Shinto to the test. 😉
I’d love to see them try a Spartan Blade out. That’d be cool.
When mickey says you can't mean that In dutch it's taken right out of the norwegian language
Jeg snakker ikke norsk.
For the record I have been trying to buy said DBK Compound "that everyone can buy" for about a year. So when I heard that in this video I went straight to the store and I have yet again been excluded from the "everybody" segment of people......
id take one to work
Guys are so enjoyable to watch
Thank you.
Micky looks like a momma bird feeding a baby bird eating that piece of tire.
This is amazing. I'd love to see you guys test ZT 0562 Ti sometime 😉
🎉🎉👏👏👏 you boys still got it! Super fun video! 🤓👍👍
F1 pro vs elmax?
Such a cool episode like the bottle making and bushcrafting should have just cooked some pigeon while doing it really love this channel
The liqurice is good! Salt laktris!!!!!!
Hi guys I want to buy my first fallkniven with a budget of 300€. Something strong with i can do almost everything. Which one you suggest? I'm really confused with all these models...thanks
Fallkniven f1x elmex or fallkniven f1x cos or fallkniven f1x cos

@@Gekkoo_o-0 what did you choose? And did it take the work without problem
Hey Guy's, I have the Fallkniven A1X, S1X, and the F1X. Do you know of anyone that makes aftermarket handles for the X Series Fallkniven's???? Surely by now, there has to be someone out there making them!
Where are you from? Try local knives forum, there is some for sure
I would like more videos like this tbh
My Norse friends don't like American peanut butter...and I don't like pepper candy...but lingonberry is ok.
Just ordered one off the back of this! I wonder what stones are going to work best with the elmax...
I think you guys have a small crush on Survival Lilly
Impressive video, always interesting.
you should make a video about the Raptorex Bushcraft tools sells.
