Our search for the ultimate cutting tool hasn't stopped! We actually made a follow-up video starring the Kukri and other tools. Check it out: ua-cam.com/video/qtLV2Vyg2Ic/v-deo.html (no more cheating knife guy😉)
what country are you guys from? you dont sound american. you sound a bit like english is not your native language.😕sorry if it is your native language and it is just a accent. are you dutch?
@brian van Bregt You're right;) Dutch
@@SmoothGefixt i knew it
Knife won
really cool
Moral of the story.
*bring both*
couldn't agree more. Plus a folding saw, multi tool and folding knife at a minimum.
Kaito Shiotsu Moral of the story just use your Hands not the knife and just be a badass with an axe
And a sharpener
Yeah
Hatchets are for hunting and chopping kindling knives or machetes and bush blades but long axes or splitting mauls are made for a reason
"Screw this shit".... Takes the entire tree with him...
Cheater that he is... ;)
Smooth Gefixt In all fairness he did use his knife at the beginning...
hehe yea its all good! gotta do what you gotta do! (He wouldve surely lost without it ;)) Cheers, Dylan

Knife guy just seems to be working smarter instead of harder.
yep;)
Yea
I was thinking the same
D.C. Da
ve
But, the smaller and arguable more nimble blade allowed for much of the working smarter. For example, if he had an axe there would have been a larger chance of him being determined enough to actually chop the tree down, but maybe not. The smaller blade allowed him to carve a more versatile coking tool in x amount of time. They both have their advantages, and, well, traditionally the methods used with a knife don't carry over to hatchets and axes very well, although for some they do, even though it doesn't make too much sense.
everyone: I think ******* is better than *******!
Chainsaw: hold my beer.
The lonely potato! You gonna make a featherstick with a chainsaw m8?
Like really small lol
Hey brother
The lonely potato! You normie
You r completely right chainsaw hold my beer
Hardwork or smartwork?
cheatwork :|
I usually work harder, because I don't know the smarter way
That's not the point.
“Come on is that feather sticking now” says the one that pulled his tree out if the ground
hahahahahaah
Kudo's. One of the best vids out there. Most of all the beginning where the one guy decides to push the tree and use other trees to brake it up into pieces using other trees. I have been out there a lot and basically never had to chop down a tree.
Interesting to hear some enthusiasm about the bare hand work!:) Often we hear critical reactions that for a good comparison I should not have ''cheated''. For both opinions there is something to say I suppose. I choose to show the more realistic scenario indeed; because in reality you probably never gonna chop a tree down with a knife. Thanks a lot for your comment! Leuk om van de Nederlandse Bushcrafters te horen;) Groetjes!
@Smooth Gefixt. I'll reply in English so other people will understand. True. I have seen people chop down trees for firewood whit an axe or use a saw and in one case this guy even had a chainsaw in his rv. I had to look a little harder but when you find a dead wood standing tree about upper leg size you can push it over. It will break into pieces hitting the ground and it not just feed the tip of the tree and shove the tree further in the campfire so you also don't waste energy chopping it in pieces. Also good to have that bigger log as a log fire when bedding down for the night. Often you can even find a tree that size that has already fallen down but is resting on some other fallen down tree so it is off the ground. In the end that rv guy with his chainsaw found out that the tree was not that dead after all. Not only did he cut down a living tree but he could not keep it burning without using gasoline. De Nederlandse bushcraft scene is best groot maar te weinig natuur en te weinig mogelijkheden (regelgeving) wat betreft natuur, dus je vindt ze toch vaak in het buitenland ;) Groetjes..
800 people who disliked thought they were gonna fight eachother
What's your Ultimate Cutting Tool? Would be cool to share it with us and the viewers below;)
The Fallkniven A1 is my go to knife for all things be it cutting down a tree or cutting smaller things. The knife is long and thick that's meant for heavy duty use by far my favorite survival knife.
a Spade because bigger and longer is allways better ;)
Never go without my machete!
There is no ultimate, even among axes there are many variables. For three seasons maybe my Mark 5 style khukuri. For four seasons an axe of at least 2.5lbs in the head with a good wedge shape.
A scandivex grind knife (like a mora) if I knew I was going out for rough longer, an opinel no. 9 as an intermediate and a victorinox keychain with knife, scissors, nailfile/screwdriver, tweezers and toothpick as a permanent edc. Nice vid btw.
Great video guys. The part of the discussion that you didn't address is how long you are going to be in the backcountry. I have asked myself this question many times and the conclusion to which I've come is that I want all 3 tools: an woodsman axe with a 28 in handle with poll for felling, bucking, removing branches, and pounding stakes for shelters; a good camp knife for batoning fire wood, cutting feather sticks, meal preparation, and making food prep/eating utensils; and a folding saw for quickly and cleanly preparing wood for tripods and camp furniture. But, this combination of tools is only good for extended camping situations. If you are going to hike day after day and only set up camp for a quick overnight stay, then the weight of the axe becomes a big factor in deciding what tools to carry. However, if you are using a canoe or kayak for transportation instead of extended hiking, then weight is not a big concern, and then bring the axe. So, my two deciding factors in what tools to carry is: 1) how long I am going to be in the woods and, 2) what is my mode of transportation. If I am out in the woods for the weekend, I will leave the axe at home because I can do everything I need to do with a knife (I use the Ka-bar BK-9) and a folding saw. If I am going to be out for a week or two and need to process a lot of firewood and also make camp furniture such as a table and chair, then the axe is very valuable tool indeed. But, that is just me.
Spot on man! well explained!:) cheers, Dylan
@ElderHiker. I fully agree. I do however add a number 3) Where am I going? This last resort pocket knife (could be a multitool also) is somehow attached to me, even when sleeping, and a campknife (usually a smaller fixed blade bushcraft knife) are with me no matter what. I do check the laws of the land I'm going to and find out what is legal there. I would hate it when I arrive at the airport and find out they are confiscating my expensive bushcraft knife so I bring a cheap one that is still good. I would not bring any hatchet or axe to a rain forest but go to a local shop there and get me a cheap machete. I would not bring a machete to the northern boreal forest during wintertime but bring an axe.
You know your stuff!
For baggage in the hold most countries will never confiscate any knife, except maybe switchblades, sword canes or push daggers. I would like a thick 1/4” spine 10” blade chopper with a thin Sabre Hollow Grind like a Randall 12 or even a Smithsonian, as the thin hollow grind takes shock away from the hand. Unfortunately the similar much cheaper Schf45 proved prone to breaking, and not many other hollow grind chopping knives exist. Kukris types are a very good choice, but I don’t like the space taken by their curvature for inside the waistband carry. Thin edge hollow Grinds allow small tasks and are better at defense, so typical axes and choppers feel a bit limited in comparison...
What about a hatchet?
You guys need more subscribers. Just found your channel today, love it. Very fun to watch. Good luck guys!
Also,i like the dog :D
The whole video I was watching the dog
Excellent vid showing axe vrs knife. At the end of the day no truer words were spoken when you said it boils down to the skill set of the person using the tool. Thumbs up.
awesome content guys love watching your stuff and the friendly banter
Recomended other survival channel... primitive technology
Axe or knife? ROCKS!!!
Great discovery, this channel! Very well done longer video with excellent editing! I will tell all my friends. I like the Gransfors Outdoor Axe as a backpackable chopper, but love a good belt knife like the Lionsteel T5, too!
Hi Cedric & Ada. Welcome to the channel and great to hear that you like it! Gransfors axe's are great, but quite the investment! definitely help with camp chores! I googled the lionsteel t5, looks like a nice knife to have, not too big either!
take care ! Dylan
Cedric & Ada Gear and Outdoors Im here coz of u man..
Cedric & Ada Gear and Outdoors k
'Sup Faultroy! Thanks for your indebt opinion! i have multiple axes too, and it is true that the GB cost more than the other ones combined. I bought mine a couple of years ago, since it was recommended by ray mears at the time.. I know alot more about them now, and restored a couple and made handles myself. I wouldnt buy it again but im not sad that i did! it has a nice balance and good weight/size for camping trips! not sure why you think they arent durable but ive used mine alot (work on a farm too;)) and the thing seems pretty undestroyable (doing jobs its ment to be doing + a little abuse but nothing ridiculous). the other axes i have were found in old sheds and things and didnt cost me anything!! therefor they are always gonna be better value.. I am concerned about ' cheap ' high production axes or tools in general, as i think they compromise on quality materials and built-time.
Its all a matter of personal taste in the end tho.. Thanks for your comment! cheers, Dylan
Faultroy! Thanks for taking the time to post your opinion! You are right about skills being way more important than gear! and an expensive axe like the GB is not suitable! Edward from Skillcult channel compared it with racing cars, if you want to learn racing, you start in an old banger and not a super racing car.. this is a good example!
I dont agree with wooden handles being worse! you are right about it being a 'living' material, so it changes shape. but this can be manipulated with taking out the moisture and replacing it with oils, that are more stable. And yes youre not gonna get linseedoil in the hardware shop, when you are out surviving longterm. but there is different ways too, oils can be taken from seeds and nuts. or even animal fat will help. The best thing about wood is that you have it around you in the forest, so you can make a new one... which is harder for a bend/broken steel or poly handle..
also, the impact on our planet is a factor for me.. i hate throw away items! its all wasted recourses from our precious planet;) Wood has way less impact than plastics...
Two wrongs dont make one right, so doing stupid things with a 'stronger' tool is not gonna take away the fact that you are doing stupid things... learn what the axe is for, and use it appropriately. the wooden handles are strong and a little flexible. and one should know when they break, and dont let that happen. You will still be able to chop alot of wood..
If you walk in with an axe, i think you will walk out with way more than if you didnt bring it..
The GB has 20y warranty, and to be honest i dont think i will use it.
Im deff. not saying they are the best axes out there and everyone should get one. Without going into debt about steels, which i dont know alot about, i would say the GB axes are well made, but not worth the money compared to an old axe head with a new (handmade) handle. for like one tenth of the price. I do think wooden handles are good:)
Thanks for reminding me about the spanish axes, might have to look for one of them!! :) Cheers, Dylan
Very FUN video, I was a bit worried about injury's from racing the clock. Thanks for sharing.
The talking at the end really made it for me, I just like both of you arguing for your preferred tool 😄
Lads I'm laughing so much over the last couple of minutes of the video!! 😂 probably my second favorite video (after the horse one) and I'm sure ye had to edit out some of the "discussion" you had 😉 love how competitive you guys are 👌 can't wait for the next video!!
Thanks Giulia, It was a fun video to make too! What tool would you pick?
Take Care, Dylan&Julius
Chainsaw 😉 I'd go for the knife and the saw but only because I can't handle the axe at all 🙈
I love this channel it has great content and has great survival tips!
Thanks for your support kokolegends!:)
thanks!
Fun video of two friends just hangin out having a good time with a little friendly competition. I enjoyed it very much, but I think I'll just bring both, because I'm really not very good with either one. LOL
This is now my favorite channel great job guys!
Fantastic video guys, watched it a second time today. a fantastic high quality channel you guys have here. Think this would be worthy of an actual TV series in itself. Beats dual survival for sure.
Think it's more the person who is using the knife or axe that makes the difference. Really creative with the leaver technique taking down the tree and that's the kind of thinking that is the real game changer. Also interesting to think of different types of axes and knives too. I imagine something like a sog fasthawk tomahawk or a kukri would be a happy medium but still think it's not what you bring, it's how you use it 🙂
you are awesome guys. my sort of people. EXTRA!!!
Based on your your sympathetic comment and 'lovely' profile picture you are too! Thanks alexsander!:) All the best, Julius
Thank you guys. Your channel is amazing
Jullie zijn geweldig blijf zo doorgaan !
These guys and their dog are amazing! Great content and they deserve way more views!
Thanks nick!
Excellent representation of making "do" with whatever tool you have. Well done by both of you with your "work arounds". Ax vs Knife is an age 'ol argument. I think you showed the "one tool" option is probably NOT the best choice. Ax, folding saw, large and small knife is best choice, obviously (IMO). I do not have the necessary skill set/experience to choose an ax as my only tool. Therefore, I would "have" to choose the knife. Thought provoking demonstration, I can see both sides. Thank you. (subbed)
MutsPub! Really well explained opinion, Thanks for leaving it here! We think you are right in there is no 1 tool and it was fun to do the video about it! For sure the more tools the better!;) Its all about the practice and broadening your skills so keep it up with the axe;) Dylan
Loved it..well done Julius for persistency in getting the fire going 👍U guys are a laugha minute..great banter..
Great challenge, hope to see more
This is honestly the highest quality content, keep up the great work, they are so entertaining 👍
Very Kind H4ze! More to follow! cheers, Dylan
No fuckr
It's so hard to find a good survival channel, I'm so glad I found you guys .
Glad you found us too! Cheers, Dylan
Stephen Green fakest shit ever
Stephen Green try primitive technology he is great!!
Stephen Green alphieaesthetics is a good one
Joe Robinet is better :)
You guys are awesome! Keep making content!
I've only just discovered your channel and You guys are one of my favourite channels on UA-cam your right up there with the tarradarrabros and primitively technology as my absolute favourite channels
i love how you're competitive and still kind to each other
i would rather use a machete though
i subbed to you
knife didnt cut the tree...
VicnteSoto nooope
VicnteSoto he push the tree down idiot
John vo
That's exatically his point
They said that the axe wins that part. He used his hands as the knife would be a waste of time.
Ya he said the axe won anyways
Enjoyed the video keep up the great work. Be blessed
What a cool concept for a video. Awesome stuff
You guys are cute, funny humorous and a little knowledge. I like this channel and I love Jager 🐕 in my opinion Yeager won
Jäger*
@@Wint3riz3d ❤️
I like a machete, a little mix of knife precision with heavier cutting capabilities.
Exactly! that's why we propose a ''Kukri'' to be the ultimate cutting tool in one of our video's coming up. Stay tuned;)
Mad respect....u guys rock
Your friendship put light in my heart !
Ik vind die laatste discussie wel interessant. Kan je niet een keer kijken wat de beste combinatie is van 3-5 voorwerpen om te overleven? Verder hele leuke film. Maar toch steelt de hond de show, net als de vlieg op het scherm.
3-5 Items... Interesting! Survival expert Dave Canterbury has developed the '' C's of survivability concept'' for that: cutting tool, combustion device, cordage, container, & cover + more. Things that are the hardest to reproduce in the wild. Might be intresting to bring our pick on this up in a video.
Yeah!, I would say Jäger is indeed the real 'viewer figures canon' here xD
Leuk om van je te horen:) Je support en suggesties worden zeer gewaardeerd! Laterz, Julius
Axe vs human hands*
Love when I stumble across great content like this randomly. It always makes my day. Cheers boys. Love the friendly rivalry
You tube introduced us. I have watched 4 of your' videos and I am hooked. I liked and subbed. Can't wait for more of the Celtic round cabin.
Really great video. A man would be a fool to go to the woods with out an axe but I don't go anywhere with out my knife. I would have to pick a knife over an axe though. Y'all stay safe.
Thanks Man, Aint no survival AR-15's over this side of the world;) lol
great to hear your choice! You stay safe too!
Cheers, Dylan & Julius
I am just going to say that the guy didnt use the knife to cut the tree you can see that in the minute 1:16
can we take a moment to appreciate that the guy just broke a tree with his bare hands
BotManDerp 1 Kids do that in Minecraft all the time nowadays... where have you been?
It had no support at the base....
BotManDerp 1
You fool it was smaller than the other tree
Diameter was the same idoit.
Great stuff guys! Keep up the great work!!!!
Great video, shows the skill you need for both. I Learned a long time ago by the hard way, to carry a good knife and a hatchet /axe and a folding saw ( and a back up knife )
Thanks John! good stuff:) Cheers. Dylan
Deze mannen zijn duidelijk Nederlands
hahhahahha sowie zo
Ja, en het is uitermate cringy
The best weapon is... a hatchet
Savage Playz yes
Yeah its both at the same time
Savage Playz agreed
No a machete is
Not really... try taking a hatchet to a tree 1 foot in diameter. Hell, it'll take you a good long time to get through something half that.
i really like these kinds of videos keep doing more but then again i like them all (:
Love your videos! Did you know you can encase potatoes in moistened clay and cover them with coals to cook them?
Can you speak Dutch
Hatchet
Hatchet is way more entertaining
I agree
These guys were funny and they have good chemistry hope to see more videos of them...
Cool competition. That was fun to watch. Of coarse they both have there own place but great video.
Sorry guys, but this video was not well done. It should have been labeled "Axe vs Bare Handed Survival Skills Plus a Knife"
Fair point! However, I thought it was obvious the axe is the better chopping tool. So for the competitional element I decided to go for some bare handed technics of gathering firewood. Thanks for your comment, Julius
At 12:54 I thought my fire alarm went off and I ran out my house and I got grounded for leaving the house with out telling someone
That is pretty hilarious, haha! xD
Wtf how old are you???
You both have good skills.
Well done.
This is the most practical and sensible review I’ve ever seen on this topic. I’m subscribing just due to that fact. Looking forward to seeing more content. Thx
Great to hear, Jessie! Thanks a lot for the support! Cheers, Julius
My ultimate cutting and fighting tool is my German Shepard
last about thirty seconds against my prefered 'survival dog' a game tested Bandog.
The knife guy didn’t use his knife to much anyone agree
true i don't get why the name of the video is knife vs axe it should be axe vs hands
Yes I saw the knife being used the whole time, did you miss that??
Enjoyed the video keep up the good work
Thanks man!
Nice job highlighting the pros and cons of each device. I have a large camp knife in my get home bag which is with me every time I leave the house and am going more than an hour walk home so I guess you would call that my choice of primary cutting tool. It has an approximately 8" (20cm) blade with a wooden handle. It was made for me from the leaf spring of a pickup truck which gives a very strong blade. Were I planning a rustic camping trip I would certainly include a small axe such as the one in this video, but as part of my emergency pack a large blade is my ultimate cutting tool. As far as the tools they made, that's personal preference.
its more hatchet vs knife then axe
Whole video I was scared the dry leaves all around that fire would eventually catch a spark and go on. Please, prepare the place before you start a fire on it. For mother earth and all living being in the forest just do it.
Dear Iron Shadow, really appreciate your concern! I have a warm heart for our planet and I'm aware of our exemplary function. We should give more attention to this, because also people in other climates, where wildfires are big issue, are also watching. However I can assure you though, that in these circumstances there was definitely no fire risk. The ground was damp (Ireland: always damp), and there were no flammable bushes nearby. The way we threat our earth is among my highest priorities, will definitely try to address this more in future content! Thanks a lot for your input! Cheers, Julius
great job guys
Absolutely love this channel just got another sub
Little does he know the.....
Read more
Omg thx for the heart
Kaiden Bjornson wow you got me XD read more lol
🤣😂
Thnnxxxxxx
Kaiden Bjornson u git me
anybody notice they didn't feed the dog
You are not supposed to give your dog potatos I will just let you know that
Eddy eddy eddy what is the point of your comment, anyone notice?
Great channel guys. I subbed. Thanks
Really great show guys
That bloke with the axe is useless
You want to tell us why? Cheers, Dylan
his good style makes it okay
Smooth Gefixt the first tree chop was shocking lol
He must be messin around
AXE all The wayy!!
I saw they only had 12k I thought it would be a mediocre channel but it's now my second favorite survival/homesteading channel after wrangler star
Man oh man you guys are hilarious, I almost choked on some water laughing as you guys bantered back and forth. Good video and I will actually subscribe because your reviews aren't annoying like a lot on youtube. Cheers :D
Awesome video!
Great job guys. You both have excellent skills. Whoot Whoot
Thanks norituck:) Cheers, Dylan
This video was fun to watch
Super cool!
Love the competition between you both
loved this vid... too many survival vids are gear channels, this one is a breath of fresh air
: )
you three are great
Great battle, thanks! If possible, I’d take both!
this video was so good i had to subscribe :)
Love this channel my kids think you both are great. Next time compare a bowie style to an axe bowie style hands down.
The guy with the knife did 90% by hand/leverage and the guy with the ax actually used the ax! Im so glad I found this channel I love the videos!
you guys are great. I come from south africa and me and my friend do alot of what you guys do with the same competitionlike attitude at times .
cool man Thanks alot! Cheers, Dylan
Your arguments are the best
Good presentation. Each have their complimentary tool. Hatchet and pocket knife. Knife and saw. The first traditional. The other modern. The type of wood and activity determines knife, saw, hatchet, or machete. Really liked the vid.
Great video guys :-)
God damn I found this funny. The first few minutes so far are gold
I think you guys are great. The competitive stuff is really good. You are both good sports which makes for a really healthy and entertaining competition. Good stuff boys, keep it up.
thanks alot! nice to see!:) cheers. dylan
Great video. Good, Hard work boys... Personally I have them both. I would not go into any survival situation without both. When the bullets run out, old fashioned hardened steel will get the job done.
Great video. You are right it is all about the skill of the user and knowing how to get the most out of what you have. But if you didn't own any of these excellent tools I would suggest you buy the knife first.
Very useful
