Watching this video it’s clear how serious and professional you guys took building up your channel. I somehow only discovered you guys a few weeks ago and have been binging on all the content.
I agree, about $400 here in the US it is very expensive. Luckily I bought one before the price hike, and it is a great knife. Just getting into LionSteel knives though, seem to be a much better value. What do you use to mirror polish the edge? I am a novice sharpener and would love to become more skilled, starting suggestions? Thanks, you guys have very interesting videos.
The price in Australia now is AUD479.95 av. I bought a Cudeman MT-5 for AUD129.95 instead. 5mm blade, 95mm blade, Bohler N695 steel with an HRC of 60. The Fallkniven is nice, but not $500 nice :).
+Dutch Bushcraft Knives yea I agree you guys deserve way more subscribers. Every share and like and subscribe to there channel. Just sharing it on Facebook or where lever may go a long way and add some for them.
The COS steel stropps back an edge so fast its amazing. it doesnt have the edge retention of crew wear but the way it comes right back on a strop is amazing. its a fantastic knife
I thinks it’s an amazing piece of hardware... never had a fallkniven in my life, but I think I’ll spend that money for sure...! Really impressive knife and really good video (as always)..!
I used to only use American made knives until I finally got the A1 and I love my A1. Now its been almost 2 years since, and I can't wait until Christmas morning to open up my F1D. (I'm like a 100% positive that Santa is bringing it for me.)😁
thats a great looking blade i made a knife out of crap steel hardend and tempered it and made a convex edge and the wood just blasts apart like that too i think the convex edge on the thick blade makes it like a hatchet i can imagine how nice the s1 is with its quality steel probably holds its edge like a champ
Hey DBK (and viewers)! I'm Ryan Little. Super honored to have my music in this video. Be sure to subscribe to my channel here on UA-cam for more music and new releases.
it's very hard to watch others do knife reviews after being exposed to this channel... very entertaining and informative gents! I think I may get this one
Its not as pretty ... but i built most of a shelter with it, with some help from my Bahco Laplander saw which everyone should have in there backpack. Fits in your pocket too. I also purchased a nice kydex sheath from www.godspeedtactical.com/. Great knife.
Hey while were on the subject. Another great bushcraft knife brand is Esse. I have the Esse 4.. my wife uses it. The only problem it has is its carbon steel and it does rust over time. Its probably sharper than the benchmade and it has the thumb choiles which i like, and the benchmade although it does not have that is still a tank.
Hey Jay, I had the esee 4. to be honest.. it's the worst knife I ever had. The 55-57 HRC on the 1095 steel is way to soft for a knife that small. It didn't hold an edge in a good edge angle. The angle esee gives the knife from the factory is about 45-50c which is unusable for bushcrafting. here in the netherlands the esee 4 with sheath is about $170,-. no $170,- knife should have 1095 in it. 1095 is a budget steel. However I do have good experiences with 1095-Crro-van from the becker bk2. It was not amazing but it was very decent for the price. I do love the robust feel from esee and the kydex sheath which is very excellent. Hope you don't mind my opinion about the esee haha. I bet I would love the Benchmade a lot though.
Hello from San Diego. May 2022. I wanted to buy your knife, but i buy thru Blade HQ on layaway. I don't have the 400 to buy yours up front. I will get your knife when i save up. I think it's too late to be one of the 1st 300. Im sad about that. Thank you guys for your reviews and your great friendship. It's nice to watch. ✌🏼🦁
In the end bark river would be our favourite because it is semi customisable and they have so many different models. Also bark river uses quite some hand work which earns my respect. In terms of build quality and performance both are great.
You guys are so bloody good iv been subscribed since 20000 subs i think, and you guys only get better. you dont even need to be into knives to enjoy your content!
Nice review of a great blade. I have the laminated CoS steel on my V1L Volcano. I reckon that the S1 marks the "sweet spot" in between the F1 and the A1!👍
GREAT videos! Whoever does your editing is phenomenal. AWESOME review - as are all of your reviews. I was looking at the Fallkniven A1 and was comparing it to the First Edge 5050 and 5150 models. Still undecided but... the Fallkniven is one ELEGANT blade! Not sure if there's any relevant differences between Elmax and VG10 laminate. I do prefer the convex grind so maybe I'll make a decision to opt for the Fallkniven. Thanks, guys!
Hey Micky B. Vette review man! Morgenavond komt als het goed is de bezorger met mijn nieuwe S1 Pro. Ben erg benieuwd en heb hoge verwachtingen van het mes. Helemaal na deze aflevering van DBK haha. Keep the content coming. I realy enjoy it!
it's mostly looks but it also enhances the way it slices trough wood and other materials (less friction). this isn't a game changer though. A well polished bevel should also keep a better edge on paper but we can't really tell the difference as edge retention is bound to so many factors.
Hey DBK! Maybe for a future review take a look at White River Knives Firecraft FC4 or FC5. A little bit funky looking knife, but it looks like it might be surprisingly good!
@@DutchBushcraftKnives you could now make a comparison with the s1x because It Is more similar about the price too... And i am undecided on which One to take
@@DutchBushcraftKnives if you Want you could Just tell me here in the comments which One Is Better at doing the things you've done in the video( batoning, chopping, fire making) in your opinion
+Ryan Caiazza hey Ryan we sharpen our knives on Sharon ha no kuromaku and naniwa Chosera stones. These are great and hard stones that really suit these harder steels.
Dutch Bushcraft Knives hahaha I hear ya. it's an expensive hobby and you guys have a lot of nice knives I would love to have a collection like that. what kind of whetstone should I use from my 1095 blades my esee and tips knives and my lt wright's 01 and a2 steel what do u think?
I have just spent 3 hours reprofiling my ambush tundra to full convex. 3v is a pain to get a mirror finish. lately I will trade toughness for sharpenability .
We both use Naniwa Chosera stones. Basic set up is 400 grit, 1000 grit, 3000 grit and 5000 grit. If need be we also have a 120 grit, 8k and 12k stone. Both chosera and Shapton ha-no-kuromaku are excellent!
Great video's on the pro series! If you had to choose one to take with you on a trekking for building fires, process food etc, which one would you take?
Probably the S1, because it's so versatile. Where as the A1 or the F1 make it difficult either to beton or do fine jobs. The s1 is capable of doing both. Stay sharp sir
I want my knife to look that great. How to you get the mirror polish that high on the grind? I just sharpened my Bark River Bravo 1.5 and it's super sharp but the mirror polish is only on the very edge. Maybe another sharpening tutorial!??? Love the vids guys. Have a great new year!
Is there any durability advantage in buying a Pro model over the standard fjallkniven line? I've got the standard F1 and am looking to buy the S1 or A1 but wonder if it's worth the money if all I'm gaining is weight. When battoning with the pro models do you notice that the extra metal at the start of the tang makes it sturdier?
What a knife! I am curious about the steel: how does it compare to the CPM 3V or Elmax? (as comparison e.g. to your Bark River Bushcrafter besides the length) - is it worth the extra charge?
It acts totally different to cpm 3v but is quite comparable with Elmax. Although Elmax is a powdered steel and it has a high amount of Vanadium and The COS has a high amount of cobalt in the steel. But I find it quite comparable especially when sharpening the knife. I think elmax holds an edge longer but Cos is the Tougher steel and outshines other steels with sharpness. This knife is by far the best chopper and batonner in our collection (together with it's bigger brother the Fallkniven A1 ofcourse). What I really like about the S1 is that it is still a bushcrafting knife aswell. Hope to have answered your question man, Cheers!
Is het die 200euro extra waard tov de normale serie? Ik snap dat het beter is maar de s1 is al een duurzaam gereedschap dus hoeveel beter is die 200euro die je extra uitgeeft?
Great Videos! Man I think you just sold me on this knife. I'm also interested in the Bark River bushcraft with CPM 3V. I already have the Mora bushcraft which takes care of having a smaller blade. Which would you recommend between the Fallkniven and Bark River?
+Robob23678 Hi man! Thanks for your comment! We would recommend the bark river in 3v! The problem with this fallkniven is that the bolster gets a bit loose after a while... im sending mine back to fallkniven to let it get fixed. Shouldnt happen on a 350$ knife. Cheers man!
Dutch Bushcraft Knives Ah that's too bad! I really like the look of the CoS steel. Seemed that the heat treat was excellent on it. Well keep making awesome videos and thanks for the advise on the knives!
I also have the s1 pro, BUT it doesn't come near as yours in keeping the blade so sharp after being used. I razor sharp it carefully but after cutting wood the razor is gone and I have to start all over again . And I never used it like you used it in this video. It was painfull for me to watch the batoning and those perpendicular strikes. So, if I carefully cut a few soft branches, the razor sharpness is gone. How do you explain this? Please answer. 🤗 PS. Where do I buy a mirror stone finish stone? A link please?
Radu Michael Before I say anything, take what I say with a pinch of salt, cause Im a novice in the knife world myself. But I remember reading something somewhere which said that if you make your knife too sharp itll actually dull quicker cause the edge bends or something.
Radu Michael That is a very interesting remark Michael. I do experience the same effect basically with all my knives. I see all these videos out there and never achieve the edge retention demonstrated. Like you I always wondered what’s the reason. Only lately I experienced it differently with my Extrema Ratio Selvans. After processing a huge pile of wood/bush it still was razor sharp. Interestingly the little brother T4000C with the exact same steel and similar blade shape doesn‘t hold the edge the same way. Meanwhile l think that it is generally a combination of the steel, the factory hardening process, the angle you give to the edge and the level of sharpness you impose. But I would be interested in a more scientific explanation!
thanks a lot zerao! Water stones and strops is the best option in our opinion. It might be one of the hardest to learn but if you master it the possibilities are endless where as you are limited with complete systems like the edge pro etc.
Ze zijn volgensmij boswachters maar dat weet ik niet zeker, als je zo een mes wilt dan heb je wel een legitimatie nodig met bewijs dat je 18 bent. Als je dit online wil kopen dan kan je op shogun kijken dat is wel een goeie site. Ook kan je daar luchtbuxen kopen en airsoft geweren. Nogsteeds moet je daarvoor 18 zijn.
Ja, ik ben er ook wel weg van tot nu toe! :) Heb er nog niet heel veel mee gedaan maar alles wat ik er mee heb gedaan doet 'ie lachend. Voor zo'n dikzak van een mes verwacht je niet dat je er zo secuur mee kan werken. Geld meer dan waard!
Geweldige video mannen!! :-) Bedankt voor de tijd en moeite die jullie hierin gestoken hebben. Top!! Thumbs up. ;-) Ik heb jullie kanaal net ontdekt dus ik ga nu de rest bekijken. Groeten, Jos
You cannot see it with the naked eye, but when batoning, when the baton makes contact with the knife spine a laser beam activates and splits the wood. It is solar powered, so no batteries needed. How else could you explain how well it batons? Another great job guys! Thanks.
Dutch Bushcraft Knives that's alright, I'm sixteen and looking for my first knife for the canadian wilderness and kayak camping trips, everything about this knife screams canada, keep up the amazing videos
it's definitely a step up. it's well balanced as VG-10 but just overall better. The price just doesn't justify the increase in performance. I think this is also because accessories that come with it. If money doesn't matter it is definitely worth it. Pro's: - Gets sharper more easy - Holds a better edge - stainless fingerguard prevents damaging the handle when batonning - thicker knife makes it a better batonner Cons; - Thicker knife makes it harder to do finer tasks - The price
hey Guys, love the vids. you are doing a great job ! I want either this s1 pro or the cos f1 as my new knife. but what about foodprep ? Are they any good or to thick? wanted it for hunting and fishing aswell. Hope you guys see this. cheers from Denmark.
An enjoyable video, thanks. I have the A1, S1 and F1 in vg10. Also, an F1 tan handle in COS steel but my knife is not as sharp as that one. I think I will try to get it sharper. I subbed as well. Take care Anthony
I wonder of this would be a good companion knife for a large Chopper. I'm looking at an extrema ratio parang(Kreios) to get real soon and a pair it up with a knife like this... the S1 Pro!
The factory edge was sharpened in quite a big angle, probably around 30+ degrees. It could easily featherstick and baton but I couldnt help myself giving it a mirror edge haha, I sharpened it to around 25 degrees for my personal likings.
A rare video of Mickey actually being a normal human being vs a hyperactive lunatic with a knife lmao!

Sorry Ladies & Gents, Fallkniven has raised it's price way to high at this point in time. We do not support this!

Dutch Bushcraft Knives I bought S1 Pro here in Sweden for 2900kr (290 dollars) on www.outnorth.se
Standard price was 462$, then it was on sale for 416$, then with coupon i got it for 290$.
Amazon has it for $300 for here in the USA
The price in Australia now is AUD479.95 av. I bought a Cudeman MT-5 for AUD129.95 instead. 5mm blade, 95mm blade, Bohler N695 steel with an HRC of 60. The Fallkniven is nice, but not $500 nice :).

I still love my benchmade "bushcrafter".

It sure does! the V1L is a unique looking blade but with the CoS there is no doubt it's awesome.
thanks for the comment mate!

Great video! How fast is the sharpening?... since is a stainless steel and not a carbon
Hmmm....4 garbergs or 1 S1Pro....I think I will go with the Mora.
Ive gone through like 15 mora 2000s since you wrote that comment :D
GREAT videos! Whoever does your editing is phenomenal.
AWESOME review - as are all of your reviews.
I was looking at the Fallkniven A1 and was comparing it to the First Edge 5050 and 5150 models.
Still undecided but... the Fallkniven is one ELEGANT blade! Not sure if there's any relevant differences between Elmax and VG10 laminate. I do prefer the convex grind so maybe I'll make a decision to opt for the Fallkniven.
Thanks, guys!

is there any practicality to the mirror polish or is it for looks very nice either way
it's mostly looks but it also enhances the way it slices trough wood and other materials (less friction). this isn't a game changer though. A well polished bevel should also keep a better edge on paper but we can't really tell the difference as edge retention is bound to so many factors.

Dude has incredible speed! 😄
Do you guys have any videos on mirror polishing and sharpening.
Thanks
At 9:43 you said that there was a edge problem on the belly of the knife and was it a chip? What happened to the belly of the knife? Thank you.
Hey DBK!
Maybe for a future review take a look at White River Knives Firecraft FC4 or FC5. A little bit funky looking knife, but it looks like it might be surprisingly good!
Hey my man, did you leather strop it? I can't seem to achieve a mirror edge for my knives :(
Maak zelf een mes en test welke beter is de falkniven of de zelfgemaakte
I would love to see a head to head between Bravo 1 3v and S1 PRO. Edge retention, sharpening, batoning and what not. Keep it up guys, great vids!
it would make a great video for sure! we'll keep it in mind!
@@DutchBushcraftKnives you could now make a comparison with the s1x because It Is more similar about the price too...
And i am undecided on which One to take

Thanks very good
Love all your videos and the info you give. What kind of stones do you use?
+Ryan Caiazza hey Ryan we sharpen our knives on Sharon ha no kuromaku and naniwa Chosera stones. These are great and hard stones that really suit these harder steels.
Dutch Bushcraft Knives hahaha I hear ya. it's an expensive hobby and you guys have a lot of nice knives I would love to have a collection like that. what kind of whetstone should I use from my 1095 blades my esee and tips knives and my lt wright's 01 and a2 steel what do u think?
I have just spent 3 hours reprofiling my ambush tundra to full convex. 3v is a pain to get a mirror finish. lately I will trade toughness for sharpenability .
It reallly is man, but 3v is worth it though. But because of the high amount of vanadium in the steel it is much harder to sharpen than COS steel.
Great videos guys! This is how a video should be when you want to know moore about the knife itself!
As always, another damn good video guys! What sharpening stone set up do you use?
We both use Naniwa Chosera stones. Basic set up is 400 grit, 1000 grit, 3000 grit and 5000 grit. If need be we also have a 120 grit, 8k and 12k stone. Both chosera and Shapton ha-no-kuromaku are excellent!

+Kijoong Lee they are royalty free
Cool editing. Very professional all round
thanks a lot mate!
Is this blade concave or flat? I was wondering how you got that amazing mirror finish on a concave blade and what stone you used to do it?
It’s a convex edge
What do you use to give your knives a mirror edge? I'd like to do the same for mine
Thanks for the video. I think this is a knife I really like. But can you really, really recommend it?
Greets Manuel
Definitely but that of course also depends on your needs in a knife
i wante to know what that bar of metal you use to start a fire is and was wondering if anyone knew
Great knife and video. Thanks guys.

Thanks a lot! So this seems really to be a high end steel and at least worth to think about the higher price.
Thanks for sharing this video.
You are very welcome!
Can you chop yew logs or magic logs or would you recommend a dragon hatchet still?
skip training your woodcutting and go do some herblore. Much more rewarding and you might gain a few levels fighting.
Is het die 200euro extra waard tov de normale serie? Ik snap dat het beter is maar de s1 is al een duurzaam gereedschap dus hoeveel beter is die 200euro die je extra uitgeeft?

We would recommend the bark river in 3v! The problem with this fallkniven is that the bolster gets a bit loose after a while... im sending mine back to fallkniven to let it get fixed.
Shouldnt happen on a 350$ knife.

That is a very interesting remark Michael. I do experience the same effect basically with all my knives. I see all these videos out there and never achieve the edge retention demonstrated. Like you I always wondered what’s the reason. Only lately I experienced it differently with my Extrema Ratio Selvans. After processing a huge pile of wood/bush it still was razor sharp. Interestingly the little brother T4000C with the exact same steel and similar blade shape doesn‘t hold the edge the same way. Meanwhile l think that it is generally a combination of the steel, the factory hardening process, the angle you give to the edge and the level of sharpness you impose. But I would be interested in a more scientific explanation!
Thank you for the great review. Your knowledge is help shape my next knife purchase decision.
Great to hear so. We if you ever have questions, dont hesitate to ask
Thank you, Micky and Martin.
I see many play buttons in your future. Great videos!
+Will Sweet thanks a lot will!
Your channel is getting better day by day.
One question: ¿What do you think is the better sharpening sistem? ¿High quality water stones and strop?.
thanks a lot zerao! Water stones and strops is the best option in our opinion. It might be one of the hardest to learn but if you master it the possibilities are endless where as you are limited with complete systems like the edge pro etc.
Thanks!!!! Keep going with the channel, I love it!
you should do a mirror edge tutorial!
my favourite knife and keep it up guys
Excellent analysis!
thanks a lot mate!
That is a sweeeeet knife, where can you guys legally do bushcraft in the netherlands?
Ze zijn volgensmij boswachters maar dat weet ik niet zeker, als je zo een mes wilt dan heb je wel een legitimatie nodig met bewijs dat je 18 bent. Als je dit online wil kopen dan kan je op shogun kijken dat is wel een goeie site. Ook kan je daar luchtbuxen kopen en airsoft geweren. Nogsteeds moet je daarvoor 18 zijn.
Ja, ik ben er ook wel weg van tot nu toe! :) Heb er nog niet heel veel mee gedaan maar alles wat ik er mee heb gedaan doet 'ie lachend. Voor zo'n dikzak van een mes verwacht je niet dat je er zo secuur mee kan werken. Geld meer dan waard!
like if i use the sharpener wath is complect with a f1 pro is the sharpener do damage for the knive or som kind of that
Another awesome test, of an awesome knife. Thanks :)
thanks man!
Geweldige video mannen!! :-) Bedankt voor de tijd en moeite die jullie hierin gestoken hebben. Top!! Thumbs up. ;-) Ik heb jullie kanaal net ontdekt dus ik ga nu de rest bekijken. Groeten, Jos
bedankt Jos!
Can you make a video about the mirror finish you did, please
?
I have some old videos. just search the channel for mirror polish
You cannot see it with the naked eye, but when batoning, when the baton makes contact with the knife spine a laser beam activates and splits the wood. It is solar powered, so no batteries needed. How else could you explain how well it batons? Another great job guys! Thanks.
This is incredible! you have found out the secret. Better be calling Stephen Hawking soon because you are on to something mate!
hey dbk, love the video, I'm wondering if I order this on amazon if it will come in the same packaging
+Dominick Kasal thanks a lot mate. I sadly can't answer your question.
Dutch Bushcraft Knives that's alright, I'm sixteen and looking for my first knife for the canadian wilderness and kayak camping trips, everything about this knife screams canada, keep up the amazing videos
@@dominickkasal7700 where are you now man?
@@dermotmcgreevy5220 currently still in British Columbia
Say Heah Dutch, Is the Pro Series that much better, What's your take onbit. Pro's and Con's Thanx You in advance. ,, .
it's definitely a step up. it's well balanced as VG-10 but just overall better. The price just doesn't justify the increase in performance. I think this is also because accessories that come with it. If money doesn't matter it is definitely worth it.
Pro's:
- Gets sharper more easy
- Holds a better edge
- stainless fingerguard prevents damaging the handle when batonning
- thicker knife makes it a better batonner
Cons;
- Thicker knife makes it harder to do finer tasks
- The price
You sold me, Cheer's. ,, .
Do the Walther Survival Knife!
Fantastic performance
hey Guys, love the vids. you are doing a great job ! I want either this s1 pro or the cos f1 as my new knife. but what about foodprep ? Are they any good or to thick? wanted it for hunting and fishing aswell. Hope you guys see this.
cheers from Denmark.
An enjoyable video, thanks. I have the A1, S1 and F1 in vg10. Also, an F1 tan handle in COS steel but my knife is not as sharp as that one. I think I will try to get it sharper.
I subbed as well.
Take care
Anthony
Thanks man. Maybe you can try sharpening it in a lower angle, that will make it sharper.
See you around
That was a quick reply :)
Thanks
I wonder of this would be a good companion knife for a large Chopper. I'm looking at an extrema ratio parang(Kreios) to get real soon and a pair it up with a knife like this... the S1 Pro!
well, it sure is a good knife so I think it'll make a great pair! You could even go with the F1 for the finer tasks as you have a parang with you.
Another great video, would love to see what the factory edge was like before you refined it
The factory edge was sharpened in quite a big angle, probably around 30+ degrees. It could easily featherstick and baton but I couldnt help myself giving it a mirror edge haha, I sharpened it to around 25 degrees for my personal likings.
+Dutch Bushcraft Knives cant say i disagree, with the mirror polish its a runway model haha
What we're the grits of your stones that you used? Thanks
