BREAKING NEWS: Two males found dead in the woods.
One is believed to have had a fatal accident with a knife, the other appears to have died quite some time later from laughter.
😂🤣😂🤣
You should actually print that up, you know is just a matter of time till it will become a reality 🤣
The funny thing is they both had a smile on their face!
89
I remember laughing at a few guys who had what’s called a yard sale on the ski hill. We are not allowed to laugh if it’s a girl or a woman.
sign of true friendship:
one involves in stupid accidents
second dies from laughter
A knife can't injure you while using it, you can only injure yourself while using a knife.
Wise words
The Tom Brown Tracker says hold my 🍺!
Wish the gun control crowd would understand this sentiment.
Heavy camp/survival knives have lanyard holes for a reason. A must for safety when swinging them hard.
I honestly cannot remember when I have laughed so hard whilst watching this. I am literally in tears. I am just happy you both are still alive. Take care guys.
I was waiting for him to let go and fling (yeet) the knife. I was not disappointed.
Heya Fellas, I remember reading an article WAAAAaaaayyyy back (probably about the time you two were born or even before) where Tom Brown went over the reasons for his design parameters on the Tracker Knife. The notch in the blade that you referred to as the "Feather Stick" notch was actually designed with the idea of being able to render wood into full rounded cross-sectional profile for fabricating friction fire spindles & in particular, arrows and bow staves in the field. Brown was very big on archery and making field expedient bows & arrows as part of his training.
Great job as always!
And that kids is why you don’t underestimate someone. Goofy dude, but in better shape than most dudes.
Sounds like you judge a book by its cover . Because as a goofy 🤪 marine and I have about another 15 pounds of muscle on Micky . Good rule to follow is never underestimate anyone.
@@user-xx5zl8dz1v oh fuck its general Mikkie irl...
@@user-xx5zl8dz1v this isn't grinder dude.
Gay af
@@eliot1970 lol
Mikki: Martin is it sharp?
Martin(finger bleeding everywhere) : Aaaa yup I think so Micky.
lol
Mikkie not the only one giggling like a little girl. 😂
The back of the knife is for notches like, notching a bone on a animal so you can break, or crafting notches, the beard on the blade is for a gut hook. Just trying to help you out guys👍😎
I think they missed that part of the manual.
"A dull knife is more dangerous than a sharp knife"*
*Except if it's a Tom Brown Tracker
The Tracker is an amazing knife, propably the best all purpose survival knife on the planet, but it takes some practice to get accustomed to it, and it isn't for everyone
@@justafloridamanfromthe75thRR it’s certainly divisive. I’ve made a few and the people that love them REALLY love them, the people that don5 consider them a gimmick at best and a joke at worst. I think I’m kind of on the fence-but I probably agree with you. It’s likely great if you know how to use and you’re used to it. Can’t see skinning a deer with it though lol
After seeing the Hunted , many years ago, I bought this knife and it served me well on many outings.i always carried a smaller knife for finer work and an axe.
The hunted is still my fave movie 12 years later
@@natureandknives it's a favorite of mine also! A great movie.the camouflage he used both in the wilderness and the city were great ideas.the knife fights were brutal !
@@Gterr1971 agree best tactial movie ever made imo , love everything about it , fave part was the end fight with Tommy Lee and the beginning when he hunts the hunters 🤘🏼
Sniper. Tom beringer is my classic camo film..."now put a bullet through his fucking heart"! Love that line
@@joshuar3632 a great movie!
The beginning of the video is how I’ve been feeling for the past year. Seeing the knot fiasco reminded me of Ace Ventura getting two spears in his legs. Thanks for the laughs. If only the whole year could be Thursdays.
Knot good
@Ninja haha no worries. It’s a lot better to be watching knife videos while drunk than making knife videos while drunk.
I gotta say, u guys are almost as good as the russian dbk
@Shaft Scabbs my thoughts exactly
@Shaft Scabbs i think thats part of the joke not sure :p
@Shaft Scabbs alright mr. comedy
There's something very contagious about others laughing! Great video, good content done with humour and well done for never taking yourselves too seriously.
I bought a t2 tracker for field use and deployment use. Worked great for me. Still have it and it's been great for over a decade.
Best knife channel on UA-cam. You guys always bring laughs and you are so good humoured together. DBK isn't just a knife review channel..
This episode had me in stitches.
I had to come back and watch this video again, it makes me smile every time. So much that my brother and I, both over 40, had to buy this model when we saw Tops reps at a local show.
Youre supposed to chop with the front of the blade ignoring the hook part, think of it like a hatchet. The back is for splitting and fine work. It took me some getting used to. I use a bark river trakker with a modified handle. Using it this way it'll stay in your hands. Love the review!
Also when I chopping I feel like instead of choking up on the handle the keeping a firm grip and holding it further down helps swing it more like a hatchet
Man, this is an "american movie knife" if i ever saw one :'D
It was actually. “ The Hunted” with Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio Del Toro. Good movie
The actual knife on that movie was a 'Raven' model from Red Scorpion Six blades, based on a custom knife design called the WSK (wilderness survival knife) by David R. Beck.
Brown was the survival coordinator at that movie and modified that design in co-op with Tops.🕵️
I prefer the Tops with the convex grind instead of the Red Scorpion hollow grind 👍 But I feel Beck did not get enough recognition for the original design 🤷
It look like daryls knife from the walking dead
@JOSEF BORG ...
Try the Tops Skullcrusher.
It's an Extreme Tracker design. Huge.
I meant it in a silly/gaudy way. This knife looks ridiculous.
Most times, when someone has negative comment about this knife, they've never used one longer than a day, let alone handle one, or they make some complaint about sharpening it.
It's trash. Horrid design and bevel is absurdly chunky
It would also suck for self defense. If you get attacked by a mountain lion or something, this knife would be almost useless since it wouldn't be good for stabbing.
A good Kukri would blow this tracker knife away in performance
I just wanted to say that I really appreciate it that people like you are around!
I’m in tears 😂. I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time. The Tom Brown Tracker might not be the right knife for you guys.
With a grind like that, you knew this knife review was gonna be cursed.
L.T. taught me how to make a tracker knife during Operation Black Eagle.
is that when you became a sicario?
Is that the time you made a knife from the hull of a T-80 tank you destroyed in Afghanistan?
Did you chisel it out of a piece of flint, before they drew first blood?
@@arctic3032 the first one. I forged another one when L.T. was after me.
I've gotta say I love Mikkie's old-time western style intro voice, never fails to hit the mark! This episode was a riot, how you boys kept all of your fingers is short of amazing! Very honest opinions on this thing, it's not a hate or love kind of knife, it's something new which is very interesting in a class of its own!
The TOPS Tracker is an absolute beast. I sent mine to sharpen, came back razor sharp. TOPS also replaced the handles while they were at it. I was practically sent a new knife, but I know it was mine because the serial number was the same. The "saw" is not a saw, it is for notching. I still prefer the TOPS Operator 7 for everything.
I'm curious, compared to the Tracker, do you not miss the serration on the Operator 7?
12:40, that is when they decided to make kevlar cargo pants.
So many injuries, in just one DBK Video :o :D
It was good to see an unbiased review of this knife. Thank you for this awesome video
Your videos are a evolution of personal characters growing in a good direction.Living life on self made terms.Its good to see the enjoyment and it reaches many of us.I felt like this one had the intro front and back.Tops Armageddon......that's a beast
As far as sharpening goes, you need either sandpaper wrapped around a stick or what's called a slip stone used for curved woodworking tools.
At minute 10:15 I looked away from the screen for a moment and when I heard the music stop and Marteen holding his ear my heart stopped lmao
"This video is killing me." Literally. 😂 I haven't laughed this hard since the pepper challenge.
This will always remind me of the movie The Hunted with Benicio Del Toro
I knew I seen it before
@@quinn860 yes it always seemed to me that that the film had been made purely to promote the knife
Yep. Great Film.
Great Knife.
@@brianmccann666 Great film NOT so great knife [IMO] !
Having used the TOPS TBT knife for about 6 months while working around my farm and while deer/hog hunting it is NOT that practical of a blade shape !
The blade shape actually inhibits its overall usefulness !
The funky shape puts it in this weird [not in a good way] place kinda in between a camp knife [chopper] an a bush craft blade [utility type] and the ''saw tooth'' crap on the spine is absolutely useless and more of a hinderance than anything else !
Its a heavy [like MOST TOPS knives] knife ,which is fine, I love a good thick & heavy blade but it just to short to get a REALLY good chop with and the grind of the TBT and ALOT of other TOPS knives makes it kinda hard to sharpen to a REALLY good edge and even if you do get a really good sharp edge ,it tends not to last under even minimal usage and devolves pretty quickly into what resembles a [mini] dull hatchet except even a dull hatchet can still be pretty useful where as the TBT just ISNT !
As someone who carries / use's a large knife daily I can tell you with all certainty If the blade were 1/3 longer it would be FAR more useful [IMO] but even then w/that particular blade shape MOST people who ACTUALLY USE a large/heavy knife regularly would pass it over for a more traditional shaped knife !
This is not the knife in the Hunted, that's a WSK by Dave Beck.
Man, the audio dimming at the end of the video during the giveaway section made me think my damn headphones were breaking. You guys got me good.
Great video thanks. That knife does a lot of different bushcraft and survival jobs and is great. There is a learning curve for using and sharpening. Great one tool option if for when your only option is down to one tool. Stay safe and get a lanyard for that knife so it does not fly out of your hand and kill a innocent bear who my be walking by.
I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. Thank you, I needed that.
The 'Law of Natural Selection' is hard at work here. You guys are the reason I don't camp in public campgrounds.
This is my hands-down favorite knife design because I know how to use it and it is a one knife option extraordinaire. Is it perfect out of the box? NO. It will need user mods to make the edge even better and then you will have to learn how to use it because as you clearly pointed out, it is NOT a regular knife, and trying to use it as such will provide mixed results. It is a survival knife, not a bushcraft knife. for the survival tasks (shelter, fire, weapons), it is superior. Did you guys see the manual that is supposed to come with it? Tom Brown prepared a book that shows all the intended uses. Now, also keep in mind, TOPS is only ONE of many makers that has a version of this knife. The ORIGINAL was made by a guy whose name I forget, then by Dave Beck and he still makes the best versions available at any price today. Great review, I was laughing my ass off!
Aw, guys. I think you should redo after checking how this knife is supposed to be used. Please do.
Best episode ever this makes me want to become a Patreon member
I was laughing so hard! I’ve said this before but you guys make the best knife videos!! Thank you!
Possibly your best video ever, and it wasn’t even planned lol
Well thats real friendship... Laughing at each other than no one else. Love you guys!!!
Those feathersticks look real pretty! Awesome as always! Please make a video about that big CS magnum tanto you got a few weeks ago! :)
Funniest video yet! I can't go back to work....my stomach hurts from stupidity and laughter! Good job guys!@!!!
Awesome, fun, and entertaining channel. Love the humor, knives, and music. Awesome!
The saw is meant for notching,
Chopping more upright and using the front of the knife. Middle is used for shaving wood, curve on top used for knee draw. The knife takes some knowing how it works before it works.
Thanks Hanz and Franz😜
More cold steel knives
You guys make such funny videos. Loved this episode
My favorite episode lol love the tracker but put it away for God sakes before it kills you lololol great vid Fellas!!
1:06- the " tops brown tracker"...lol.your guys videos are a inspiration to us all.keep up the great vids.
You guys might think about adding a new knife performance factor when measuring a knife’s function abilities. The Stiff Factor or maybe PP Hardness Factor.
So much fun to watch! Later better than never.
This is a specialized tool, the front part of the blade is meant to be used with the back half of the handle (as a hatchet), the side of the blade closest to the handle is kind of a draw knife... it’s really a great concept! (But, I prefer my bark river bravo 1)
A couple of true Texans right there.
God bless you, brothers!
What a great channel. Great job and funny as heck chums!
Video in summary: Bleeding, Suprising, Intense laughing and rope is getting revenge from the evil dbk, And alot more laughter.
Great episode as always!
It definitely changed my views on this knife. It is usually crazy overpriced for the steel it usually comes with (1095). But in 154 CM I can respect it.
Its not just you guys. I bought one over a year ago. Many years with a blade and training and it is dangerous knife. I have grown to actually like it more than i thought. A real shit to sharpen, but tough as hell. It also destroys batoning hammers because of saw back.
Nice try with the Lynn Thompson rope cutting attempt!
Guys... You gave me some good laugh 😂 Thank you!
I laughed so much, thanks to you, again a great video!
🤣🤣🤣 that cracked me up!!! Nice review guys. I’ve had a tracker 1 for many years. Once you get on to it you really like it.
Bout damn time! I'm really hoping Boris is in this one. He is my favorite member of DBK
Its like a knife review from 2 of the three stooges. LOL thanks guys, your channel is always fun for a laugh.
Your funniest vid so far...by a long shot. I kept rewinding & lmao!!! 👍👏😂🤣
I bought the knife about 2 months ago and before I did wanted a review from you guys. But being a dream knife i went ahead and got it.. I feel better about my purchase now.. thank you
I used a fine tooth rat tail file and diamond stone to sharpen my tracker. I also changed the edge geometry .i used a much steeper bevel.got that edge WAY back.
Finally a TOPS review!
The Tom Brown and all "all purpose survival tools" are just gimmicks than knives imo, but this seems to actually work.
TOPS probably has the most designs in their catalogue of any company and they are bloody brilliant
😂😂my leg
😂😂you guys are funny
loved the vid
This was a great video, you need to review more weird/strange knife designs!
I had theTops version once upon a time then I had David Beck make a WSK for me. The WSK’s performance and balance is outstanding but then again it’s a premium custom. The Tracker will do the job just takes more effort.
I was wondering when y'all were going to review this knife! TOPS is literally just down the road from me. They're a great company! You should definitely review more of their knives!
Still have tears on my cheeks! Funny dangerous crap! Thanks Guys!
Sees "Tom Brown Tracker", methinks "This'll be fun...just as long as they don't try to cut a hanging rop, oh never mind...", seriously one of the best laughs in ages!
You guys did it! Way to go! You should have read the guide that came with it for hand position. Chopping should be done with the front blade of the knife and held farther on the rear of the handle (think like weird axe head). The saw back is really only for notching wood... i.e. tent pegs, traps, etc. It has so many functions! Haha loved the vid.
Best video you've put out in years!
Damn I’m crying this was awesome! You just got you a subscriber.
Respect for Tops for sending it out there. Thanks to you for reviewing it.
Added: Review is funny as FU(K
Don't try this at home kids! 🤣 Great episode!
crazy brothers, I need you in 1 piece for my birthday party !!
You guys should come to Arizona for some "on location" videos. Basically, I am just asking for a live show! Hahaha!
That is some Risitas grade laughter :D
Thanks guys, after a pretty crappy day this video made it 1000x better. Cheers 🍻
Very very good. Enjoyed and Subbed
Zoo ontzettend leuk. Zelfs ik kreeg ook de slappe lach.
Thanks for the laugh guys loved it 😂😂😂😂
Can we see more food prep? I personally really enjoy the cooking
you two are very entertaining , love your attuties , enough to subscribe ,Thanks for the laugh's and loved the review ,,
Thank you for the funny video guys:) I just add a little info - this is not the original TOPS Tracker T1, but this is the T3 model (the only stainless Tracker model made by TOPS with a blade length 5,5" /14cm/ real cutting edge cca 5,1" /13cm/ and weight under 400g / 14oz). The T1 has +1" (2,5cm) on the blade and +50% of weight. FM
Tom Brown: "this is a one tool option"
Also Tom Brown: "here's a companion knife"
Thx guys for your review of this knife, I've been waiting for it a long time!
I bought the Tracker T-010 for 280€ about 8 months ago and already it has become my favourite knife. So far it has served me more than well! But I absolutely agree with you that you either hate it or love it, the weight of the knife alone turns many people to hate it :D
I like the tracker type design but bought a $20 copy on eBay just to try it out. Liked it so well I use it often and never went on to the $200+ heavier one. Not good for everything but does many tasks excellently enough for me and the cheaper copy is much lighter so I carry it more often. Thanks for the slow motion analysis of the test events. 😂👍
Stop, Stop. I'm crying. That was so stupid funny. this was really fun. Thank you.
Nice review 👌
Hey you two are really good I really like your energy positive energy working hard through that tree trunk that thing was solid that tops knife works really good did a great video man great presentation keep making more videos you two are great
Best episode yet haha safety guys
I watched that rope cutting debacle over & over. I woke up the house with my own laughter 🤣👏🍻
I cried with laughter on this video you made my day!
