I have had the bk2 for 4 years now also the bk7 and 9 and 1095 crovan steel is good steel it has to be sharpened more but it takes an edge easy but like any of us i bought a bravo 1.5 and a fallkniven a1 and after you use cpm3v or vg10 you see the pros to picking up one of them instead when your heading into the deep woods for 10 days but for the price i love beckers i would recommend them anyday for the price because my bravo 1.5 cost me 410 dollars canadian so ya not cheap
I'd add that the benefit of CPM 3V is that you really don't need to worry about sharpening in the field because the edge retention is likely 2nd to none...maybe BRK Cru-Wear could compete.
I have the BK-2 and love it for the things it can do for camping and for bushcraft and I heard about the Bark River knives and may buy one sometime in the future, but for right now I am staying with the knives I already have. I am glad to have the BK-2 in my inventory and I don't use the knives which I already have and really don't need any more.
😂😂 I fucking love these kind of videos man. Right amount of jokes, while the video still gives a lot of information about the knives. Thanks dudes, keep em coming.
Don’t delete the channel, i absolutely love your stuff and if not, just expand your audience such as survival gear and survival challenges and I am pretty sure the rest of your audience would agree with me on this one. Again, best channel on TH-cam by far Great vid
Ordered the Bark River Bravo 1 from Heine Haynes my regular knife and accessories shop.Good deal but it will be going in a display cabinet in the gun room,with the likes of Helle knives and martini knives and the rest of my collection.
BUY ONE! I promise you will NOT be disappointed. There are two hard things to take into consideration. One is just using such a great / sexy knife and concerned about hurting the knife (won't happen). The other is that after buying a BRK, you're going to spend more because you'll want to buy ANOTHER BRK! :D
I just took delivery of a Bark River Bravo 1.5 3V ramped w/ Linen Micarta and matte finish. Cut your thumb off sharp I need moar Band-Aids. Going to bring it to my little patch of woods and do all the Bushcraft things. Love DBK! If not for DBK, I would not have ordered this knife.
I got a BR Bravo 1 as a carry knife. It was late at night, I was tired, and I then found a super cool looking one; fancy pins, black scales with red liners, just beautiful. The only problem is I wasn’t paying close enough attention and the metal I chose was M-4... I live in a humid area (rust) and although this metal will cut forever, when its dull, it takes elite skill to resharpen (which I don’t have). Now I am afraid to even use it. It went from my “go to” knife to a safe queen. The lesson? Pay attention when you order a knife!!!
Hello. I bought the bark river bravo 1 but it cannot strike the fire steel like yours can. Is it because it is A2 steel? If so will bark river replace the steel for me if I send it back?
Its not because of the a2...maybe they rounded the spine of ur knife accidentally while polishing You can sharpen the spine yourself with sandpaper....or you send it back and just ask for sharpening the spine (they do these kind of modifications for free)
@@erickearl2065 yes that really sounds like firesteel-material. Sometimes you can remove it if you take a piece of hard wood and use the spine like a saw (if you know what i mean) But often this material makes the spine even sharper so you can aswell just leave it on
Great video guys. Thanks for the video and all the hard work y'all put into making them. DBK is the best knife TH-cam channel ever. Can't wait for the next video. Hope yall have a great weekend.
When I first started watching your great content, I really had to get used to your Dutch accents. I just realised how much I got used to it haha. And like always, I love your video. Huge thumbs up
Neither knife "wins." It's a matter of choice and what you prefer for the tasks and needs you intend to use it to do. It may be as simple as which one feels better in the hand.
Here's is a better test... dull both knife edges... then try to sharpen them as in a survival situation. Then we'll truly see which is the better survival knife. I do love both knives though.
Never, and i mean ever.... Change your intro. Its reminds me of watching a real tv show. Anyways love you guys keep doing your thing. P.S you should do a test/review of the Buck 119 special.
I own both knives, but my Bravo 1 is in A2. I have tried them both and the Bravo 1 just crushes it. When I camp I NEVER go without by Bravo 1, I use it for everything and I love it! I have knicked it on rocks batoning and taken the chip out quickly with strops and ceramic rods. The BK2 weighs about 1000 lbs on my waist also, so that seals the deal...especially with the terrible factory sheath. If we are just talking cost, the BK2 is tough to beat. Both just excellent knives, but I will take my Bravo 1 against pretty much the field.
Hey dbk is rwl 34 also capable for a survival knive lets say at 59/60 hrc I am just asking because I think stainless is important vor a survival blade and 3v ist not stainless am i right
It can be annoying if you like to put your thumb on the spine while carving thats all.. the "ramp" is actually ment for the firesteel (you use the jimping to scrape it)
@@nils-ph3zs Mike Stewart’s video hosted by knivesshipfree on the bravo 1 explains this. You’re the one who needs to “look it up”. Ramps are for combat. If they have the added benefit of scraping a fire steel, great. That’s not the primary function.
@@pubplays368 lol watch the video then. th-cam.com/video/trOp5UPEjQs/w-d-xo.html He clearly says that you are not supposed to put you thumb on the ramp. You put it over the ramp. And it's not for "combat" XD So the only purpose for the gimping is the firesteel scraping, wich he says in another video.
In my opinion 1095 and o1 tool steel are best for survival tools. Cpm3v and 154 are awesome super steels but once they go dull you'll pretty much need to machine sharpen those blades where as 1095 and o1 you can find a flat smooth rock and sharpen them up in no time.
That bk2 looks like a whole new knife after it was sharpened to that mirror finish.
Dutch Bushcraft Knives definitely! lol
Yes. Almost worth buying. So beautiful to bad on the performance
I have had the bk2 for 4 years now also the bk7 and 9 and 1095 crovan steel is good steel it has to be sharpened more but it takes an edge easy but like any of us i bought a bravo 1.5 and a fallkniven a1 and after you use cpm3v or vg10 you see the pros to picking up one of them instead when your heading into the deep woods for 10 days but for the price i love beckers i would recommend them anyday for the price because my bravo 1.5 cost me 410 dollars canadian so ya not cheap
What did you polish it with? BTW great vid!

Wow! Holland is bigger than I thought.
3,5 hrs drive from north to south 🙂
Now the extreme survival knife comparison! Bravo SURVIVOR vs fallkniven A1 pro
This episode went sexual.
I have the BK-2 and love it for the things it can do for camping and for bushcraft and I heard about the Bark River knives and may buy one sometime in the future, but for right now I am staying with the knives I already have. I am glad to have the BK-2 in my inventory and I don't use the knives which I already have and really don't need any more.
Watching in 2020 and just finished the Bark River podcast! Great to hear two legends talk with the legendary Bark River founder!
Do not delete the channel. Do not delete the channel..............
Bravo 1.25 s35vn vs fallkniven s1 pro..love your guys channel best knife channel....
No Don't delete! Love your videos! And knives!
😂😂 I fucking love these kind of videos man. Right amount of jokes, while the video still gives a lot of information about the knives. Thanks dudes, keep em coming.

Great vid
Great video!And..........great act Mickey!Especially in the beginning of the intro!
honestly you guys are passionate for your knives and that what make you great
And, do not delete the channel.....
I love my Becker BK2. It is a batoning beast, it chops decently, and the sheath will accommodate a lefty like me.
You should try the batoning In -30 celsius degrees with these knives.
Ordered the Bark River Bravo 1 from Heine Haynes my regular knife and accessories shop.Good deal but it will be going in a display cabinet in the gun room,with the likes of Helle knives and martini knives and the rest of my collection.
you are crazy folks!! best from Poland
never clicked on a video so fast, 2 of my favourite knives! and I knew the bravo 1 would win, it always wins that's why I have 4 of them!
I like the Bark River. I think I'll get one. Thanks guys

If you still have it…. I’ll buy it
M4 isn’t that difficult to sharpen, just get some diamond plates.
Every episode makes me laugh, quality content guys.
I have the 2 , they are excellents !
Great work guys, keep it up❤
That mirror finish looks so cool
Thanks DBK! I love my bark river survivor!

nils 1142 hello. The spine is sharp enough to strike, but it seems like the firesteel is actually damaging the steel instead of striking it
@@erickearl2065 what kind of damage ? often some material from the firesteel gets melted to the spine so it seems like is has damage...
nils 1142 oh ok. it looks like chipping on the spine and I can get my nail under it, but I may be the firesteel material.
@@erickearl2065 yes that really sounds like firesteel-material. Sometimes you can remove it if you take a piece of hard wood and use the spine like a saw (if you know what i mean)
But often this material makes the spine even sharper so you can aswell just leave it on
It’s like they KNEW I wanted to know more about the KA bar
Minimal difference, except in price bk 2 wins overall. You guys always make my day.
Great video guys. Thanks for the video and all the hard work y'all put into making them. DBK is the best knife TH-cam channel ever. Can't wait for the next video. Hope yall have a great weekend.
thank you so much jason!!
When I first started watching your great content, I really had to get used to your Dutch accents. I just realised how much I got used to it haha. And like always, I love your video. Huge thumbs up
haha thanks a lot Saehun!
Great video as usual guys! I just started listening to the podcast. Awesome! Thanks
lol i like the video before i watch it
also enjoyed another great video from you guys keep up the awesome work
Hahah Maarten! Open gulp! Good video guys!! :)
Please do a few tests on the bk7 and bk13
Can anyone share the difference between Becker bk2 and bk22 exactly? Thank you in advance!
Exactly because of poor Edge retención y selled mine away, awesome video as always !!!!
Suggestion for Dutch Bushcraft Knives, do an all around test of the MSK-1 survival knife.
Hi guys!
You shoud do a leatherman video!!
I love you, never stop :D
I never thought i would end up buying both of these knifes lol
This video and channel is absolutely beautiful
Another great and funny video, you have a new patreon guys! Keep it up and keep the vids comming :)
Pls make a video on

Yes new DBK! You guys should test out the bravo 2 in 3v! I love mine.
Do not delete the chanel love you guys
guys, did i wrote something about music at your videos? no? ITS AMAZING!
I love your Channel Don't delete it
Not to mention the Bark River is almost 3 times as expensive 😵 both are incredible knives though imo
Yes, pricey though it is levels above.
You guys should review the RTAK2.
Can y’all review the brothers of bushcraft knife on amazon?
have you seen the aurora scandi!!
yes its a2 steel sadly
Great video also what the heck was that passing in front of you guys at 2:32?
Bravo1 all the way
Damn what’s the song during the rope cutting?!
2 minutes of video and i already love it.
Btw do you remember that guy that told you if he learn some knifemaking he gonna make a knife for you ;)
Test cold steel gi tanto!!
Thanks guys, your vids are great !
Do a test on the schrade uncle Henry golden spike.
Neither knife "wins." It's a matter of choice and what you prefer for the tasks and needs you intend to use it to do. It may be as simple as which one feels better in the hand.
Nice to see 2 great knives made in the US. Bk2 looks great after your mods. Greetings from Chicago, keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot
Any idea why the podcasts are unavailable?
Here's is a better test... dull both knife edges... then try to sharpen them as in a survival situation. Then we'll truly see which is the better survival knife. I do love both knives though.
@@1800moonSugar You can sharpen a carbon steel in the field with a wet stone.
Try this with no special equipment with a super steel 😅
I speak about the 1095 by the way…
Strop the 3v regularly and your good
You can try the knife sika 130 from dechatlon its price is 20€. thanks
I love you guys and you got me super interested in knife making!!!
Can you do this test with the Bark River 3V vs the A2?
that open zipper zoom = gold
Never, and i mean ever.... Change your intro. Its reminds me of watching a real tv show. Anyways love you guys keep doing your thing.
P.S you should do a test/review of the Buck 119 special.
I like the bravo 1 lt
Do a test on the buck 673
Could you please try the bark river Trakker? I would really like to hear your opinions.
maybe in the future :)
Micky's haircut could be the stunt double for the original incredible Hulk.
Could u do a comparison of two really good budget knives Hultafors hvk and mora basic 511 good video
Try the marttiini condor timberjack
Could you guys try the Fox/FKMD Trapper I would love to see you work your magic on it! Best Regards
How did you get that finish on the Becker
You guys are the best! :DDD
Love you guys you are the best of the best
thanks a lot anas!
Are you guys planning on making a video about the Bravo 1.25 LT (in CPM-3V of course)?
Would like to see bravo 1.25 or bravo 1.5 reviewed on this channel!
Is it possible to do a top 5 affordable knives?
Might be a good one for a future knife talk!
y'all really need to test your edges before and after with that new scale to determine edge retention with diff steels
I’m just gonna save up for both I believe haha
Bark River Knives > Any other non-custom knife
I own both knives, but my Bravo 1 is in A2. I have tried them both and the Bravo 1 just crushes it. When I camp I NEVER go without by Bravo 1, I use it for everything and I love it!

Both just excellent knives, but I will take my Bravo 1 against pretty much the field.
if a bk2 is that heavy for you... you should just stay home pussy.
How much rope have you guys allready destroyed in your videos?
Hey dbk is rwl 34 also capable for a survival knive lets say at 59/60 hrc
I am just asking because I think stainless is important vor a survival blade and 3v ist not stainless am i right
U should do a review on a silver stag knife pls
hey i have a bk 2 and i wanna know how you did the mirror polish
I used my water stones :) We have an older video on the BK2 where I did it using sandpaper and water stones
So what’s wrong with 1095?
You should review the msk 1
Could you explain why it's so important to you to have them Bravo 1 rampless?
It can be annoying if you like to put your thumb on the spine while carving thats all..
the "ramp" is actually ment for the firesteel (you use the jimping to scrape it)
@@nils-ph3zs The bravo 1 was designed for the military. The ramp is designed to aid in combat. It has nothing to do with scraping a fire steel.
@@pubplays368 no, it's ment for scraping a firesteel. Look it up
@@nils-ph3zs Mike Stewart’s video hosted by knivesshipfree on the bravo 1 explains this. You’re the one who needs to “look it up”. Ramps are for combat. If they have the added benefit of scraping a fire steel, great. That’s not the primary function.

I'm going to make the BRB1 but with a longer blade.
The amount of respect I have for this channel is so much.
Never want this channel to go!
Thank you so much my friend
Not a fair comparison. My Bravo 1 is stellar! Even with tool steel. Compare LT Wright od Fallkniven with the Bravo 1!
Great video brotatoe chips
Geweldig boys
In my opinion 1095 and o1 tool steel are best for survival tools. Cpm3v and 154 are awesome super steels but once they go dull you'll pretty much need to machine sharpen those blades where as 1095 and o1 you can find a flat smooth rock and sharpen them up in no time.
Great freakin vid. Did you had a camera upgrade?
