80crv2?? Brilliant! Your going to have a lot of fans with this. Edit: wait...$130 ?!?! Holy crap! You guys nailed it...I mean incredible. And that sheath?!?! Home run.
dude! you made my day. Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so excited! yet scared for everyone's feedback hahaha! But We really did our best and I hope it'll be received well
I love how all of my favorite knife content creator people are getting knifes made, Felix Immler, David C. Andersen, you guys... What a time to be alive.
@@matzorinox Ahh okay, thanks for the info. I watched a few videos he did on them but must have missed it. Or he is such a humble guy he may not have mentioned it. ✌️
@@TinyIslandMaine I can add that I bought the Venture recently and it's a beast (unless you are doing something stupid with it like trying to cut nails). I generally don't like 14C28N (I find it a little too soft) but it works perfectly on the Venture, I even cut my finger with it yesterday (and I've cut myself with very few knives indeed)
I had to admit my father to the hospital today due to my father having a minor stroke. Ya boys are giving me a break from the day . And the knife looks amazing!
i'm so sorry to hear that! I hope your father has a fast and good recovery! Happy to hear we could put your mind off of things a bit! Thankt you so much
As someone with my dad in acute rehab right now from 2 ischemic strokes last month, FIGHT for his rehabilitation. Don't settle for SNF. Fight for AIR (acute rehab) with every avenue you can so long as you have the option and insurance. My dad is on week 2 of AIR and the progress is incredible.
Just got the update on the new video, was released 9h ago.. knives already sold out!!!! Congratulations!!! Do another run, so maybe I can snag one too!!!
Great knife guys! 👍 I only wish I could afford one. But with my wife’s health going south and some other problems, it’s not to be. But I have been carrying a knife a knife for over 60 (OK, 62) of my 70 years and you have given me much joy and happiness with your zany videos. Keep up the good good work, and I’ll see you again next week.
Another benefit of this knife that you guys failed to mention is that you have a low carbon foot print while using this knife out back or in the woods. This makes the left feel very calm and not want to splash paint on the Mona Lisa.
I bought the knife and what I can say it’s a damm good knife for that price range. Total presentation is good, the knife is very sharp, handles great etc. The only think I would like to see added is a firesteel which will increase the price but that’s not a issue, because of the quality of the knife etc.
Question for all the bushcrafters out there: Why are knife handles getting so ridiculously thin these days? Doesn’t this bother anyone else? I mean, sure, the knife might look stunning, but that handle looks like it’s barely 25 mm tall (1 inch). How is something that thin supposed to be comfortable for heavy-duty tasks? A full-tang knife with a 4 mm spine is clearly built for serious work, yet the handle design doesn’t match. I’ve made a personal rule: no more knives with handles under 30 mm (1.18 inches or 1-3/16 inches) in height. Thin handles make your hand tire out faster because you have to grip harder just to hold them securely. Just look at Mora knives: they’ve got those chunky, ergonomic handles. Or Ray Mears knives-same story. Am I seriously the only one who feels this way?!
Nope, I feel the same. Thus is why I like the Böker Bronco for example in principle, but the handle kills it for my paws. Best handle so far for my hand still is the Casström Lars Fält.
@@hendrikgarnkaufer6938 Really? That one looks pretty thin too. I’ve never really considered it because I think it’s made by Joker, and their Bushlord is basically the same knife but cheaper, if I’m not mistaken. I already own a Joker knife-the Ember-but I never use it because the handle is too small, and my hand gets tired quickly. The Bushlord’s handle seems a bit taller, but I’ve never had the confidence to take the risk and buy it for that reason.
@@gpietra Talking to Casström at IWA in Nürnberg two years ago, Joker hasn't done work for them due to quality inconsistencies for quite some time iirc so when Joker released the Bushlore, a lawsuit was threatened by Casström. I can't tell you the exact dimesions of the handle right now but it is the knife with the most voluminous handle I own. Whether it is beefy enough for you I can't say but iirc it is below the 3 cm in height that you mentioned as your optimum. Compared to the Bronco it is worlds apart and for my 9-10 sized hands, it is pretty perfect. I also own the Ursus 45 from Whiteriver that I also like a lot but that could use a bit more heft in the handle. I have yet to use the Ember, just know the pics, but I'd expect the handle to work in comparable fashion to the Bushlore/Lars Fält so I guess your caution of trying it out is warranted.
@@hendrikgarnkaufer6938 Surely handle height is just one of the factors involved, maybe I would find the Lars Falt knife handle comfortable. Thanks for your inputs! I think knife manufacturers are too often pursuing the aesthetics of a slicker handle than true comfort in field use, sadly.
Was worried for bit, but, very, very fair play to you for pushing that knife right to the edge!! Thought it was gonna miraculously survive the bone, barrel and air rifle!! Very nice looking, all ‘round package! ✊🏻👏🏻👏🏻
As an American, I have noticed we definitely as a whole have larger hands. I find the Casstrom Woodsman to have a nice handle. Large/Long enough to be comfortable, while not making it heavy are huge on your side. The Mora Garberg has the circumference that I wish all knives had. But just not in plastic. That’s why it’s the Roselli Hiemo UHC for the win! For me anyhow. I have your DBK knife from BPS. It has a very small handle. I feel my hand width of 4” is averaging on the larger side, but not too badly. I find a lot of handles are too short. Forcing my hand into a three finger grip. The measurement used is not the actual usable area between the finger guard and beak. It’s on both far ends of the area your hand actually sits. That’s not the information we need to measure if our hands fit that particular handle. With so much shopping being done online, we can’t exactly put our hands on them first can we? That measurement needs to be added.
Paper micarta has a tendency to delaminate like that, it is not anywhere near as strong as fabric micartas. Properly heat treaded 80crv2 is outstanding, I've been using it for a while and have been really impressed. Looking good, the details matter and you're doing it right. 👍
Having handled this knife already, and seen a few of the prototypes, I can say that I'm really impressed with the design and performance. It is 100% a great value knife and looks like a 300 euro knife. If you are looking for a good performing bushcraft knife with carbonsteel you cannot go wrong with this! I have this on my Christmas wish-list for sure!
Alright this is really a great blade for the price you’ve made something exceptional this time guys Congratulations I hope I’ll be able to pick one up after the holidays if there’s any left to be had by then
Fantastic guys!! Looks to be a very good knife for a great price. I can appreciate it when a knifetuber sticks his neck out and puts one on the market himself 👍 Groet'n oet Grun' 🇳🇱, TW.
Very tough and slicy at the same time, it looks very impressive. It also looks beautiful and I like the sharpening choil. Hope this knife sells well. Thank you for another interesting video. ♡
Super happy that you were able to release this value option of your knife! Sold out in less than twenty four hours is absolutely wicked! I was wondering how many you ordered in that first batch and how many you think you might be able to order in subsequent batches? No rush on responding and thank you for dedication to quality!
Just put this knife in my cart because I’m so impressed with it and I have experience with 80cr but with the holidays and the shipping cost to the states I had to postpone my purchase. I really hope after the start of the new year this knife is still available to buy! Really impressed with the knife. Well done!
No removable scales and only two pins made of what appears to be brass? I hope you sell lots of them. Nice sharpening choil, good handle length with a defined stop by the blade that isn't a finger choil that shortened the blade. Lots of positives.
Initially I heard “With the black and the Brad Pitt” expecting a cameo from the Vanisher. But after rewinding, I think you actually said “brass pins”. Which obviously suits the topic way better 😂
@7:07-7:20 DBK vs Survival Lilly Ah, ja... I love both of my Survival Lilly knives. They have stood the test of time and as long as I don't try to cut a bridge beam in half out do stupid outlandish things with them they should be expected to last for many generations. I missed getting in the band wagon for the original DBK knife and with it were available again, however now i can get this one and help support the dream. Well done DBK on another quality knife! 👍👍👍
Congratulations - looks like a nice knife ! Personally I'd probably prefer the blade being a bit bigger...then again I also cut grapes and mini-tomatoes with a chefs knife so...just my preference ! Price seems (pretty) good for the quality !
Love the initiative to create a more affordable DBK knife. Admirable. Have to be honest though; for the knife plus shipping to the US it is almost $170. I'd have a hard time justifying that considering I have multiple other knives in that size/role already. My Mora Bushcraft Black has similar dimensions/role and has great quality, but only costs me $58 shipped. Of course the DBK knife has a nicer sheath and the steel on the DBK knife holds an edge better, but not sure it's worth almost three times the price better. But hey I love that you continued on the quest, and if I didn't have so many other fixed blades already (partly your fault LOL) that fit that role, I'd likely buy your knife.
Looks like a cool knife for an affordable price. 60-61 HRC is quite a good hardness for 1.2235 steel. Some of the knives with that steel have 62 as sweet spot. Did you decrease because it broke in the tests before?
Nice knife. The curve at the end of the handle should be further up to accomodate larger hands. The grind could be a little higher towards a sabre grind and consider making it in a stainless steel with a 11,5 cm blade length.
G'day guys, very good for the dough alright. Personally the handle does need more beef and I would've left the tang solid and whacked in a middle pin. But anyway, congrats, ...... perseverance and patience pays off. Best of luck with this and your future endeavors. Cheers Duke.
You guys have outdone yourselves. Congratulations. Great looking knife, great steel at a competitive price point. Perhaps the handle thickness can be solved by offering different liners; thin, medium? I find with my bushcraft knife, with almost the same scandi grind angle, that as long as it's sharp, it will slice feather sticks easily. Only when going below sharp, it will start to cut deep. Sold out already! Crap....
Garberg is currently 67$ on Amazon and Bushfriend 2000 is 137$ USD. not saying it's not a good knife, but should be compared to the best 130$ knife you have.
This is a bit comparing apples with pineapples. It's not only about materials. It's also about the company behind. It's it's small or big also if there is just one company or a company working with some UA-camrs. You maybe can't imagine how much time communication and effort is spent for a project like this. I bet ma arse (and I like it a lot) that the margin of gaberg including quantity is much much much more economical interesting that what the 2 maniacs did here.
Not to mention that it's a WAAAAY beautiful knife compared to garberg. I don't have anything in mind in this price range, with this design and sheath and made in Germany.
@DutchBushcraftKnives Yeah I mean down towards the budget end I've seen you guys test some real disasters but also a few stand out knives like the one by Nose KW the other week. It's just great that all your testing has paid off and it looks like another reliable budget knife is born 😊
Awesome knife! I just bought the original DBK anniversary knife and this is definitely a worthy sibling. It‘s just funny that your „budget“ knife seems to come with a better sheath than the „deluxe“ model. 😊 (My DBK sheath was so tight that I couldn‘t get the knife back in and the stitching was off. Not a dealbreaker by any means, but compared to the Böker it‘s a bit …well… sad. ) P.S.: Not your fault. I also have the old TRC Bushcraft which had the same „cheap“ leather sheath.
You guys got me twice somehow! I just ordered a Fallkiniven A1x after watching your videos as the first “modern” high quality knife with a convex grind I will own. This was a lot of money for a Christmas gift to myself, but ohh well. I laughed at your videos of how you dreamed of owning a “Rambo Knife” as teens. I did the same, and you will laugh to know that I carried a Buck Master as my knife in the US Marines during Desert Storm. There was no internet or you tube then, so you had nothing but catalogs to look at. Since I’ve been carrying the Cold Steel SRK carbon steel and some cheaper Moras (craft line blue handle my favorite). So I also wanted to get a garberg and was still deciding carbon or stainless when I started watching this video. The second I realized the knives were released I went to the DBK shop and put one in my cart. I forgot I had other stuff in there that didn’t justify the shipping rate to USA, but didn’t care, wanted to order before they could sell out. As I’m hurriedly paying for the order I hear the part of the video saying “Oh noooo, I think they made it too sharp and it’s going to chip!” And I was like Whaaaat? Maybe I should have watched the video first! lol, now that I have, I am glad I ordered one, even though I have now spent twice as much on myself shortly before Christmas. If the handle is too thin I’ll wrap it in hockey tape, that is like Canvas Micarta isn’t it?
Value your opinion- LionSteel T5- I love the shape of the knife including handle & finger guard can you think of a better blade and steel for the same price point - haven’t bought it yet
The knife really looks nice, and for the price, its a good deal. Especially with 80Crv2 steel. However, its made by Böker, who IMHO don't have the heat treat set up well. I had two Böker knives in 1095 (Scandi grinds 55 -58 HRC ) where the pretty thick tips broke off (both accounts were digging out an arrowhead in soft, wet pine wood), in both cases I had to regrind and create new tips, then guess what....sometime later the tips broke again! A friend of mine has the Böker Bronco in CPM 3 V (59 HRC) and her tip also broke off and also had to regrind! And that was CPM 3V! And now with your knife, the tip broke. But okay, its dialed up to 60-61 HRC . After these episodes, I just don't trust Böker made knives anymore. Though your knife held up somewhat on the edge, that could be that Böker paid a bit more attention on the first production batch. So sorry guys, I won't be buying this one (irrelevant now anyway as they are all sold out). I prefer to save and wait for the DBK in Magnacut made by TRC.😁 (when will they be back in stock again BTW?). Sorry if I have spoiled some potential sales for you though. But thanks again for a great video, as always, and have a great weekend! P.S. Ever thought of getting Brisa or NKD to build for you? Their builds and heat treat are awesome. Slightly more expensive but worth it. Have a Trooper and Forester in 80Crv2 and beat them to death weekly and they still hold up fine, just a bit of work with a ceramic rod and strop now and again (I guess I bit like Mickie and his *****, he is constantly beating it and stropping it, me thinks) 😂

Greetings from a Tiny Island in Maine, USA
@TinyIslandMaine the Victorinox Venture was made in close collaboration with him.
@@matzorinox Ahh okay, thanks for the info. I watched a few videos he did on them but must have missed it. Or he is such a humble guy he may not have mentioned it. ✌️

Probably the best proof that a proper heat treat and edge geometry is more important than the steel itself. Well done.
I had to admit my father to the hospital today due to my father having a minor stroke. Ya boys are giving me a break from the day . And the knife looks amazing!

Nice job fellas, and I like how it’s not made in china!
thank you! it was a journey to get there at a reasonable price haha

Of course the DBK knife has a nicer sheath and the steel on the DBK knife holds an edge better, but not sure it's worth almost three times the price better. But hey I love that you continued on the quest, and if I didn't have so many other fixed blades already (partly your fault LOL) that fit that role, I'd likely buy your knife.
i really appreciate it! Shipping sadly is a pain but beyond our control.
Mora's are great knives for the money. However, they have no soul. The DBK knife doesn't have that problem.
@@CharlesSalmond I get it. Some things you get for reasons other than practicality or simply price.
😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣😅
But how does it hold up to real-world tests like 50-cal at 30 yards?
damn! we forgot that test!
phenomenal job boys, congrats!!! It did great in the torture tests!
Gunna snag one when they are restocked! Awesome job!!!
Looks like a cool knife for an affordable price. 60-61 HRC is quite a good hardness for 1.2235 steel. Some of the knives with that steel have 62 as sweet spot. Did you decrease because it broke in the tests before?
Awesome! I finally got to order one of your knives. I'm very happy with the purchase. I can't wait till I get it in my hands
Thank you so much 🙏💪
I had the pleasure of handling a prototype in September. Can't wait!
I just bought one. Can’t wait.
I'll probably get the Boker version because I like a saber grind over a scandi but it looks like a winner so far
I just ordered mine on boker. They said it will be available soon. I already paid for it so I guess it's on pre-order.
Nice knife. The curve at the end of the handle should be further up to accomodate larger hands. The grind could be a little higher towards a sabre grind and consider making it in a stainless steel with a 11,5 cm blade length.
G'day guys, very good for the dough alright. Personally the handle does need more beef and I would've left the tang solid and whacked in a middle pin. But anyway, congrats, ...... perseverance and patience pays off.
Best of luck with this and your future endeavors. Cheers Duke.
Boys. Of course Böker makes some amazing knives. In my opinion you couldn't have picked a better brand for this particular project.
This is absolutely great stuff, love that Bushfriend 2000!
Congrats guys
And I hope you have even more success in the years to come
the moment we've all been waiting for
There are no friends in the bush- only mortal enemies with 80crv2 steel knives.
You guys have outdone yourselves. Congratulations.
Great looking knife, great steel at a competitive price point.
Perhaps the handle thickness can be solved by offering different liners; thin, medium?
I find with my bushcraft knife, with almost the same scandi grind angle, that as long as it's sharp, it will slice feather sticks easily.
Only when going below sharp, it will start to cut deep.
Sold out already! Crap....
Are you guys still shipping this model to the uk?
Garberg is currently 67$ on Amazon and Bushfriend 2000 is 137$ USD. not saying it's not a good knife, but should be compared to the best 130$ knife you have.
the garberg with leather sheath is €120,- here in the netherlands. Seems you got an awesome deal there! Also our VAT is 21%
This is a bit comparing apples with pineapples.
It's not only about materials. It's also about the company behind. It's it's small or big also if there is just one company or a company working with some UA-camrs. You maybe can't imagine how much time communication and effort is spent for a project like this. I bet ma arse (and I like it a lot) that the margin of gaberg including quantity is much much much more economical interesting that what the 2 maniacs did here.
@emesser7087 thank you legend ❤️
Not to mention that it's a WAAAAY beautiful knife compared to garberg. I don't have anything in mind in this price range, with this design and sheath and made in Germany.
@@s.p.q.r8700 Maybe the Enzo trapper? From Finland.
Fantastic guys, so proud of what you've made! 🍻😊
Thank you so much man that means a lot
@DutchBushcraftKnives Yeah I mean down towards the budget end I've seen you guys test some real disasters but also a few stand out knives like the one by Nose KW the other week. It's just great that all your testing has paid off and it looks like another reliable budget knife is born 😊
Wishing you well with your knife sales and future as entrepreneurs! ❤
Brilliant! I'd love to see this compared to another value bushcraft knife, the Jakkaripukko which is also in 80crv steel.
Very nice. I would definitely consider this when I find myself in the market for a new knife.
Donders te laat uitverkocht , super mooi gemaakt toppers !!
dankjewel!
Mora Light My fire is 20mm just about. I finally got to use my metric tools.
That basically resembles a Becker BK2. I suppose one could rework the scales or replace it with Micarta for added grip.
"All my life, I just wanted the DBK KNIVES"
Oh no, Mikkie will have to sing a new song!
Awesome knife! I just bought the original DBK anniversary knife and this is definitely a worthy sibling. It‘s just funny that your „budget“ knife seems to come with a better sheath than the „deluxe“ model. 😊 (My DBK sheath was so tight that I couldn‘t get the knife back in and the stitching was off. Not a dealbreaker by any means, but compared to the Böker it‘s a bit …well… sad. ) P.S.: Not your fault. I also have the old TRC Bushcraft which had the same „cheap“ leather sheath.
Outstanding work lads. Kudos! 😎🙏
You guys got me twice somehow! I just ordered a Fallkiniven A1x after watching your videos as the first “modern” high quality knife with a convex grind I will own. This was a lot of money for a Christmas gift to myself, but ohh well. I laughed at your videos of how you dreamed of owning a “Rambo Knife” as teens. I did the same, and you will laugh to know that I carried a Buck Master as my knife in the US Marines during Desert Storm. There was no internet or you tube then, so you had nothing but catalogs to look at. Since I’ve been carrying the Cold Steel SRK carbon steel and some cheaper Moras (craft line blue handle my favorite). So I also wanted to get a garberg and was still deciding carbon or stainless when I started watching this video. The second I realized the knives were released I went to the DBK shop and put one in my cart. I forgot I had other stuff in there that didn’t justify the shipping rate to USA, but didn’t care, wanted to order before they could sell out. As I’m hurriedly paying for the order I hear the part of the video saying “Oh noooo, I think they made it too sharp and it’s going to chip!” And I was like Whaaaat? Maybe I should have watched the video first! lol, now that I have, I am glad I ordered one, even though I have now spent twice as much on myself shortly before Christmas. If the handle is too thin I’ll wrap it in hockey tape, that is like Canvas Micarta isn’t it?
Well done, guys! Absolutely fantastic 😊
Value your opinion- LionSteel T5- I love the shape of the knife including handle & finger guard can you think of a better blade and steel for the same price point - haven’t bought it yet
Nice blade, well done. BTW - if you used screws instead of pins, we could mod it and there is a small space for tinder.
Finally lets gooooooo!!
The knife really looks nice, and for the price, its a good deal. Especially with 80Crv2 steel.
However, its made by Böker, who IMHO don't have the heat treat set up well.
I had two Böker knives in 1095 (Scandi grinds 55 -58 HRC ) where the pretty thick tips broke off (both accounts were digging out an arrowhead in soft, wet pine wood), in both cases I had to regrind and create new tips, then guess what....sometime later the tips broke again! A friend of mine has the Böker Bronco in CPM 3 V (59 HRC) and her tip also broke off and also had to regrind! And that was CPM 3V! And now with your knife, the tip broke. But okay, its dialed up to 60-61 HRC .
After these episodes, I just don't trust Böker made knives anymore. Though your knife held up somewhat on the edge, that could be that Böker paid a bit more attention on the first production batch.
So sorry guys, I won't be buying this one (irrelevant now anyway as they are all sold out). I prefer to save and wait for the DBK in Magnacut made by TRC.😁 (when will they be back in stock again BTW?). Sorry if I have spoiled some potential sales for you though.
But thanks again for a great video, as always, and have a great weekend!
P.S. Ever thought of getting Brisa or NKD to build for you? Their builds and heat treat are awesome. Slightly more expensive but worth it.
Have a Trooper and Forester in 80Crv2 and beat them to death weekly and they still hold up fine, just a bit of work with a ceramic rod and strop now and again (I guess I bit like Mickie and his *****, he is constantly beating it and stropping it, me thinks) 😂
Absolutely sick knife DBK guys! What did Böker hrc these?
60-61. Thank you so much
65 on the sharpness, wow. Off the rip, this knife is impressive.
Are there any plans of make one in 14C28N?
maybe in the future who knows!
Hi guys, What’s the thought behind the ‘2000’ in the knife’s name? Sounds somewhat (19)90’s!😅
That is a bucket list item for me. One day....
