People! There might be an uncertainty regarding the Fällkniven bolster issue. It was only a problem with their first production run and has been solved now. If anyone has a problem with their knife they can send the knife to Fällkniven and get a new and fixed knife which will not have this problem. Chapeu to Fällkniven for the good customer service. Everyone makes mistakes, it's all about how you solve them!
Dutch Bushcraft Knives why dont yiu guys use reclams on your videos?
you will be rich if u do that man
SMILETAPPER what actually reclams you mean?
Do you mean advertisements? We do have advertisements on our video!
Oh yeah, now I see it ;D but I didnt get advertisement on 5 of ur videos so thats luck or so?
with luck i mean toeval hehe ik ben ook nl ;D
Dutch Bushcraft Knives i have a nice knife to you it is called brusletto hunter, i know it says "hunter" but it is good! I don't know where to order it, but you can find it on the web
the Dutch apperantly have better drugs
its true
julio pimienta and it's legal
We do
Cia has them drugs XD
indeed
I'm officially adopting that phrase into my active vocabulary...."pooping without force."
doctorbea . What's it in dutch? Also... why don't shitposters know this saying?
Barefoot & Pregnant poepen zonder kracht
Two different answers. Thank you. Time to do my own work and use a translator XD
"poepen zonder geweld"?
@@lovemeknots "kakken zonder douwen" literally translates as "pooping without pushing", so it is used for an effortless process. Not a very polite expression, but not that rude either; an adequate description.
I doubt a translating program would recognise or correctly translate such an idiomatic expression that is not even used throughout the whole of the Netherlands
On the second big tree, you should have shown one guy going by carrying it, then the other guy also helping, then, because it was so long, have the first guy show up again carrying it, like a third person.
A seamless edit.
Heki Kahni was thinking the same thing lol
Heki Kahni haha that would be hilarious :D
😂cool idea
I wouldn't go out into the forest without both. Both are necessary and they complement each other.
Wise words, I completely agree.
Exactly!!!
Definitely
Bullshit. Unless you're bushwhacking or in your backyard, an axe is more trouble than it's worth. It's way too heavy and bulky. Now, you sometimes must carry an ice axe when you're traveling over snow or ice, but that's something different.
You mean complement each other :-p
Not compliment.
I would choose an axe over a knife.If you keep your axe sharp you can pretty much do everything. Awesome vid as always ;-)
Vice versa
good knife and saw
good knife and saw
Who hikes with a fucking axe? An axe is fine if you're at a National Park campsite, or in your backyard. But I've never heard of anybody doing the PCT with an axe in his pack. Axes are way too heavy and bulky. Now, you have to sometimes hike or scramble with an ICE axe, but that's a different thing.
I'm trying to figure out why they believe an axe won't work on a ferro rod...
Different tools for different jobs but if I had to have just one then I'd go for a small axe or a really big knife.
Small hatchets are useless.
In America we call that a hatchet versus every day carry

I love your channel so much guys. You keep bushcraft light and fun, while still being informative. I appreciate you not taking yourselves too seriously. We need more like you!
+Nikki Reese thanks a lot Nikki,!
1:40 In Dutch we would say "Pooping without force"
You guys are so funny and have taught me so much about bushcraft and have shown me knives that are really worth the money thank you so much for the amazing videos 😁
+Ian Stewart thanks a lot Ian!
You two are fun to watch along with being helpful. Thank you.
I think I'd cry if my guard came loose.
Don't worry, Fallkniven replaces it for free and you get a newer and better version!

They replace the entire knife?!
You have a saw to cut down the tree. The saw vastly outperforms the axe, and is much safer to use. Then you can have a saw for felling and cutting down logs, a billhook for delimbing and batonning, and a small knife for carving and bushcraft. Each tool is optimized for its use: the saw is the best solution if you need to rapidly part wood across the fibers. The billhook (rather Italian style: roncola bergamo for exemple) is best for medium chopping, batoning, and handling logs around. The knife can be kept as sharp as one wants since it will be kept only for light duties and won't hit any rock, and it's small size and specific use allows to make it quite light.
A point they made in this video is that they wanted one tool that's able to do it all even if its not the best and most optimised for the job.
Guys I have commented on a couple of your videos and all times you have responded. I find this truly amazing and it shows how much you actually do care about the audience. Nice vid I love it, and as always.... stay sharp.
+Liam Finch thanks a lot Liam! We do our best to keep track of all the comments haha. Sometimes it can be hard with all the comments though
This channel is growing far fast than I ever expected it would have, I'm happy for you guys. Keep up the great work.
thanks a lot Ryan!
Dutch Bushcraft Knives anytime, also I can't wait for your next video.
The best thing is that the best knife, the best axe and the best outdoor clothes are made in Sweden 😃🏆
Bullshit. I live in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. I don't know that we make an axe (although Seattle-based MSR makes ice axes), but I'd take our knives and outdoor clothes over yours any day. Filson, Pendleton, Feathered Friends, REI, Outdoor Research, Danner, Eddie Bauer, Columbia, Benchmade, Leatherman, CRKT, Chris Reeve, Gerber, etc.
@@profd65 Exactly! And for axes i'd comfortably take a Woodcraft Pack axe from Council Tool (its North Carolina though so not PN).
5:07 Top right hand corner! Deer!
Their sense of humor is just amazing that's mainly why I subscribed
I love this channel, you guys are hilarious and yet really serious about what youre doing. Your videos are really well edited. i dont think i'll ever get tired of this channel, it just cant be boring. Keep doing what youre doing
thanks a lot Omar!
Axe for me, i don't like battening with a knife but i know its a bushcraft/survival skill if you do not have an Axe with you.
But i am a knife nut haha
ATB Del
You guys are just so awesome! cheers from Sweden
thanks a lot!
fantastic channel boys, this is the kind of content we need to be seeing on youtube
just two young (and absolutely jacked) dutch dudes cracking jokes and talking about bushcraft and providing useful information and commentary
Just the right amount of humour and maturity. New subscriber. Thank you for the entertainment!

Where is the machete love? 😔
Machetosexuals are more common (spite what people think) in cold regions...
But machetosexuality is far from being accepted in western society, so many machetosexuals don't come out. We don't have many studies on them
Joseph K right here. a thick machette? no way! use that all day you lose your functionality in your wrists.. got a 20" (2mm thick blade) for camp/heavy work. heavy enough. and a14" (2mm thick) for edc.
^ haha true. I never had wrists hurting by using an axe all day. I dont know how he uses an axe but my wrists stay straight using them. Its like using a hammer. A long and/or heavy machette you use more as that as well but giving a bit of wrist action to it. A med. sized machette is just like kitchen knives, you use the wrists almost only. having a wife dont help... those wrists dont get no action no more as the wife does all the action now hahaha
Err, in the jungles and dense brush where they belong, not European forests....
You've got a good point they can do the things a axe and a knife can do in 1
I love how much fun you guys have in your videos! Keep up the good work! With love from Canada!
Keep up the good work! Always enjoy your videos. Really liked the slow motion splitting shots with the snow, well done!
Great vid! In my opinion they are both excellent tools and I would take both into the woods anytime :)
What are you doing in the woods???

I can use a fire steel with my ax, use a file and make some sharp edges on the top or on the pole
Or you could carry this amazing new invention they call a “lighter”. And if it were a true emergency (sure still carry a ferro rod too, why not?) you’ll use either your axe edge at the tip (you’ll still have a sharp belly)... or you’re hyper smart and carry a file too and have flatted one of the thin edges... (that’s what I do). Totally violates the ‘one tool’ philosophy - but working smarter means realizing you bring the right tools for the right jobs. Like lighters.
Haha great video again mates! "Pooping without force". That small forest axe remix was hilarious 😂. Cheers!
Funny as hell. Your image quality and editing are incredible. Thx, guys
I think of the experience I had I would choose a smal axe, I just find it to be more versatile.
Fredrik Bergälv Same
I'm testing small axes now for uses such as these. I am also getting ready to try a Tomahawk style ax/hatchet as well. A nice hickory handled small ax to me is a better and more versatile tool. A true 'woodcraft' ax would fare much better in tests such as these as well. Granted, making spoons and things aren't going to be as easy but, a lot of the deficits shown by the DBK boys where the knife prevailed would turn out different with a more specialized ax.
I think the winner is the combination of both the axe and the knife, i mean there is a reason they are both still around after thousands of years of human technology :P
Great video, thanks for sharing. I sharpened a section of the top of my GBA small forest axe so that I can scrape a ferrorod with it.
All the best from Germany, Maximilian
That's the point most people simply don't understand. Very well presented
I feel like I'm doing shrooms by watching this
U arnt, they are
what's the intro music? I really love it
Me too, pls tell us!
BOTH! And I was laughing when you came by with that ridiculously long tree. you guys are awesome and crack me up.
sick video concept. great execution. well done m8s
Fallkniven and Gransfors Bruk, two superior tools.
sure thing mate!
Gränsfors Bruk is very good, just like Hultsbruk and Husqvarna. Fällkniven is pretty good too but is relatively new, started importing knives in 1984 and designing in 1987. There are also other Scandinavian knife makers who I prefer.
not a big knife or a big axe haha test for example the esee junglas or bark river senegal vs Scandinavian forest axe or american felling axe both from gransfors and you will se smaller differences
also can easily scrape a ferro rod on the cheek/side of the axe
dbk so do a test with a bigger blade for example the senegal against a Scandinavian forest axe?
This video was an odd comparison. Should have been the A1 vs Wildlife Hatchet or a 10in chopper vs the SFA.
I have run out of good things to say about your guy's content, keep up the amazing work! I love the clips at the end by the way they are really funny. I thumbs up!
+Eric Garcia Thanks! Haha we wondered if someone would notice!
You guys are great. When it started snowing on Marteen I thought it was really aesthetic and then he started giggling. You guys don't disappoint👍
hahahaha! Thanks a lot!
anyone else find themselves watching this when really stoned?
Marco Dal Forno yo bro I'm doing that right now😂😂 I feel you.
Ye
Yep, yep! God bless weed and potheads
I join you, tomorrow i gonna take some and whatch this videos again XD

LOL! you guys made my day! Mickie you are one funny dude! I have that same model axe! great axe! I'm very happy with it. man was it sleeting and snowing on you guys. was 80F here today in Ft Myers Florida. just finished swimming and working out. thanks to you both for taking the time to share your video with us. Cory.
+Cory Boyd hahah thanks Cory!
Another great video. Thanks guys. You crack me up! There's no reason not to carry a small axe and a knife when backpacking or camping--unless you're going for a day hike, or to work. :)
was waiting for this ;)
Btw what's the best knife for under 50Dollars plz someone reply
Rooftop Adrenaline Mora
yea definitely Mora!
real steel bushcraft 2 is great too
Terävä Jääkäripuukko 110, carbon steel
And just about 8 dollars more for Terävä Skrama, carbon steel
I can use a firesteel with my axe
Me too
Shut up axe lover
Hey mates, good comparison with the axe and a large knife!!! Pros and cons for both tools were about spot on!! Safety is a must at night because I almost put an axe in my little bro foot on a camping trip, Martin!!!! Times like that needs a big saw or a knife to baton with!!!! It is refreshing to see some laughter on UA-cam these days with all the BS going on here in the US!!! Thanks mates and keep up the fun!!!!!!!
Thanks a lot! You can go with the flow or be happy with the good things! we are always having fun!
Best bushcraft channel on youtube!
Love from Wales
lol you guys are nutz 😂😂
You can't scrape a fire steel with an axe?
Ty Doram that's exactly what I was thinking.
I scrape my firesteel with a tomahawk all the time, it doesn't know the difference! Big, crackling gobs of sparks,
That was just a dumb comment on their side tbh
I have a council tool woodcraft and it’s made to scrape a Firesteel.

At first I was kind of confused about your channel, but one can only love you guys and your channel ^^

You guys are crazy. Thanks for showing (in a very entertaining way) that both tools have their purposes.
So-far as I'm learning I *always* bring a small axe / hatchet when I head out to the woods. I just throw it on my sons pack and the additional weight doesn't bother me at all. =D
Great vid mates and I see you guys are getting close to 50k subs congrats

You guys are awesome, keep it up! Great editing also!
You make me laugh soooo much guys you're so funny! I just discovered your channel 30min later and I love what you're doing!
hi DBK great video got two questions I'm getting a barkriver aurora but the have the normal one and the aurora LT it's a hard choice I'm ordering online so can't get to feel them in the hand so what do you think is the best option for all round bushcraft and question two I need a good pair of gloves for when I'm handling my knives any recommendations thanks keep up the good work
For a 8 week canoeing expedition in Alaska would you bring an axe or leave the axe to have less of a risk of injury and less packing volume?

Another entertaining and informative video!
I figured I might add my opinion on using a fire steel. I find pulling the steel back and holding the blade or striker stationary to be more controllable and in some situations when using small light tinder you stand a much less of a chance of pushing it away or spreading it across the ground. Just a little tip no one asked for 😂
Amazing video and i love how fast your channel is growing. Really sorry about the finger guard glad Fällkniven will replace it.
