Martín, if they made 400 and you bought 4, you bought the 1%, not the 10% of them 😂 Nice video anyways
As an American, I'm just relieved that we're not the only ones who suck at math.
He’s pretty so he can get away with not being able to do math.
yeah.... brain fries easily on video hahah!
Haha , my brain fries the thought of maths.
His name is Maarten, not Martin 😉
Everyone keeps saying how much they love this channel for how genuine it is. Which is kind of an overplayed compliment; a lot of people say that about a lot of channels. What I love about this channel, is the beautiful friendship that's clearly on display, each and every single episode. And the hilarious bizarreness of your eccentric personalities and senses of humor. It's easy to see why you two are friends. :)
I couldn’t have said it better myself. I think this is one of the reasons I love DBK. Real loving genuine friendship is so evident.
@@michaellangshaw1521 I'm glad I'm not alone. Usually when I leave a comment akin to this one, I'll get criticism like "you don't need to tear other people's comments down just to prop your compliments up, you know."
Which, in theory, could hold water. They may be right. And I was honestly a bit apprehensive that I might hear it here too, lol. Happy to see that I'm not the only one that feels that way.
Basic and surface level compliments are nice, they're not unpleasant. But compliments that hit to the core of someone's character, or speak to the quality of what they make - those are the only compliments that matter. At least to me, when I receive them. So those are the same compliments that I strive to leave. :)
Same. I’ve been into knives for a long time, so I already know what i prefer in terms of features, steels, grinds, geometry, etc ; and I do my own research when looking to get a new knife, so I don’t really need their input. Finding all that for myself is part of the enjoyment for me. I don’t even baton my knives, as I always have a saw and axe with me.
I mainly watch their videos because I enjoy the lighthearted mood of their content, and their close friendship reminds me of how me and my two younger brothers are when we get together; not in terms of behavior, but in terms of closeness, and it just puts me in a better mood to watch. Also, I don’t really know many people personally who share my passion and love for fixed blade knives, but these two crazy Dutchmen definitely understand.
@@Mygg_Jeager im so sorry for only reading this now. Your comment means a lot! Thank you so much❤️
Well put. I always watch these videos and wish I was there with them, goofing around and playing with these tools that I enjoy. Their passion and silliness matches my own.
The fact that your vg10 performed better after time is a significant sign that fällkniven overheated the edge a little but durung the sharpening process which is - sadly - kind of normal due to production speed.
While sharpening you take away material and eventually will have ground away all the overheated material. That is why it has better edge retention now
So... you guys obviously found the perfect knife. I hope that doesn't mean your endless search for the perfect knife will come to an end. This channel has grown on me and I love you guys. ✌️
Maybe they will eventually make it in Magnacut or Cruwear …
hahah definitely not! we love knives too much! this is just one of many dream knives hahaha
@@DutchBushcraftKnives Bark River now has the Gunny LT in Magnacut, may be a good one for you guys to review.
I genuinely love it when you guys get knives that you have always wanted. The joy is unmatched. lol
I wonder if we will see an NL5 in Elmax, as they are using it in their X series.
Two lifelong bros laughing uncontrollably together is such an awesome thing. It instantly takes me to good memories, thinking about the times I’ve done the same thing with my bros.. laughing like idiots, usually at shit most people wouldn’t even know why it’s funny. We have as much fun in our 30s as we did as kids.. because now we can finance all the foolishness.
I was waiting for this video! Fallniven finally listened to you all. Great video guys 😎
I love VG-10 for my light task EDC knives. Easy to sharpen and takes a sharp edge
I blame both of you for me spending more money than I should have on a knife. I just now ordered one direct from Falkniven. It'll be in Australia, and in my hands sometime soon I hope.
I did not know of this NL5, such a beautiful knife and such a great performer, and that sheath is gorgeous! Well done guys!
thank you so much!
So happy for you guys, thank you for making these videos. I fell in love with knifes because of you two, so... thank you also for that. Cheers
thank you so much!
Well done lads you cracked em in the end! As far as I’m concerned they only made this in cos because of you two lunatics. So a big thank you very kindly for that lads. The best part of this episode was seeing how rubber minded you two went lol just like kids on Christmas morning and you wanted a bike and there in front of the tree is a mess of wrapping paper and a handlebar sticking out lol.
Catch you two beautiful humans on the next one, stay safe and healthy both and your loved ones always be well 🫵😘👍
hahahaha thank you
@@DutchBushcraftKnives it’s a absolute pleasure you two are a cracking laugh but you still get over the important stuff like don’t lick the sharp side of the blade! ( and for anyone watching you just run the blade across your tongue if it can cut you tongue it will slice you nuts off😂😂
CoS steel is not a supersteel, and it's barely an improvement over vg10. Calm the hell down lol. The composition is nearly identical with the only difference being a point or 2 of cobalt, which believe it or not, actually makes it MORE brittle than vg10, but the edge lasts longer due to increased hardness. It is by no means a better steel, there are trade-offs. Please stop with the hyperbole of how great CoS steel is, it is middle of the road, basic shit. (love you guys and your vids btw, been watching for years, but the hard-on you guys have for Laminated CoS steel has always baffled me. I dare say you may be biased lol)
Watching you guys use your dream knife gives me hope, that one day I will also find my dream knife. Or make it. Whichever happens first is fine.
This video was as much fun as watching my kids open presents on Christmas. Mickie had a grin on his face the whole time. I also have been eagerly waiting for this knife with CoS. Got mine in the mail two days ago.
I watched his reaction three times. 👍👍👍
I finally found it in stock since this video was out! Yahoo!
I showed my girlfriend the clip of you two when you first seen the NL5, it best explains a knife obsession to non knife nerds😂, pure joy
There are some things best left unexplained.
@@imankhandaker6103 agreed I just needed a valid reason to show why I put a monthly budget into knives 😂😂
You guys sure know how to make me smile on a rainy day. Your content is so enjoyable but it is your personalities that make it so unique. Thanks for everything you do.
8:35
I'd be able to get a lot more excited about this knife if the tang were twice as wide and mounted to the blade with rounded corners.
Lack of COS availability was the ONLY reason I didn't not want this knife, I just placed my order !!
Yeah I handled the cos f1. The handle was really small for xl hands. So I looked around to get a new grip for it. And notice it could cost you hundreds of dollars. Imo this the best best cheapest way to get that knife profile. I think that knife profile was absolutely amazing. It eats wood like crazy. How you like it?
@@gospelninja2.016 the feel is amazing, it's an all around great knife. Have you tried the S1x or A1x? They're great knives as well, they're essentially bigger versions of the F1x same perfect convex.
@@Mudsuitable I HAVE s1 pro. its really amazing. its in cos. not the elmax but i really think the cos is better maybe? lol.. who knows. but it is really a beautiful knife. not i was kinda wondering about the x series but not sure about the grind on the f1x. vs the original. i think the grind is way better still. om jusat having a problem spending 500$ for a knife... lol
Awesome! Will watch in the morning fellas, cheers 👍
NL series is so beautiful. NL1 Tor was one of the first "premium" knives I owned. (My wife knew I was drooling over it, and bought it for my birthday over 14 years ago!) Bought the NL1 shortly after. I also like to darken the leather!
I've since started making my own knives rather than buy them, but I'll probably always keep my NL's !
That's awesome and a great story. Definitely makes it a treasure knife!
I have a problem with my Idun...
I used to buy a few knives over the years and when I saw the Idun, I too honestly thought it looked like the most beautifully aesthetic knives I had ever seen, but way beyond my budget.
However, I saved for several years and eventually purchased one!
I do bushcrafting with it, skin animals with it , even odd cutting jobs with it, and now, I simply look at other knives as if they are simply second best. Fallkniven has killed my desire to collect knives!
I have the best looking and best functioning knife that I have ever used, so why purchase any other?
I remember when Mickey pulled out that knife. It was way too funny.
Way too expensive for what it is.
Oh my, way to go on glorifying a glorified VG10 variant with 420 covered around it. Welcome to the post-factual world. I get that you prefer a certain blade geometry, but that can be had in the much better CPM-3V too. I would even prefer other lesser powder metallurgic steels such as S30V or S35VN over that bollocks idea of CoS laminated steelcrap.
Such an incredible knife. The steel is good and it is just a wery nice knife.
To see the initial reaction of a life long friend that shares a similar passion punches you right in the feels. I am not tearing up, YOU ARE! :_)
I have the VG-10 version. Will wait for the Elmax upgrade! 😊 hopefully….
I know you love the nl5 and you made the dbk bushcrafter. If you put them head to head which do you think would win even including a looks category???
So it's just that laminate Cold steel was using like 20 years ago? Also you guys should be Merry and Pippin in the new lotr movie.
I really love your videos and always look forward to them you are really a channel that is just sincere and you can see from your videos that you guys have a real brotherhood friendship that makes the content 100 times better Thanks for the video's!
I wish I had a friendship as genuine as the one Martin and Mickie have here. It’s a beautiful thing.
Thank you so much for your kind words ❤️
Was thinking the same thing.. Watching their videos makes you feel like your their buddy. I don't miss a video. They have helped me make so many knife decisions in both buying and making.
@@brandonpowers5672it really is a great channel. As an American, i love their content.
Nice ..but not my favourite...Jack lore classic...can't you save up to test one?
Ps..love the channel I've been watching you for years..👍👍👌👌
Unfortunately, Sandy doesn't take orders. So you have to be really really REALLY lucky to get one when it is put up for sale. Or buy it at a ridiculous price on the second market...
One thing that's possible with edge performance, is that knives that are factory sharpened on a belt grinder, the edge can sustain some amount of heat damage.
After multiple hand sharpenings on your wet stone, that damage is theoretically sharpened out. Which would explain improved performance.
Definitely, I noticed a huge difference in my vg10 spyderco after about 4 or 5 sharpenings… it’s honestly a huge problem with knife reviews. Most reviewers barely even sharpen their knives once, let alone the time it takes to get through the “bad steel” from the factory. It’s probably why steels like k390 get such better factory edge retention, because those types of steel don’t loose their heat treat from high temps.
The food prep, especially dicing a tomato so cleanly with a thick blade that was already used was the most impressive part.
Beautiful knife, I will hopefully have one of these someday. Your videos are great to help with making my choice of the best knives to choose, and always entertaining. Thanks guys. Also when is the next batch of DBK knives available?
Theres a fantastic brand here in the US that makes a leather conditioner with a beeswax base that I love using on all my leather. Its called Obenaufs and it is by far my favorite conditioner for leather. Beautiful knives there fellas. All the love form around the world.
I really love your videos that include food prep and cooking. It gives me good ideas to try while camping. Keep up all the great video reviews. You guys rule the knife realm.
Looks good for sure hope you both are well mates. 😁 im enjoying my poltava diamond plates theese days 😊
Leave the math up to your girlfriend's boys
FYI I'm a qualified expert and I have to say your tacos do look amazing, but the microwave was the biggest fail I've seen to date on your channel! Tortillas need to brown in a pan or over the flame for roughly 30 seconds per side so they are still soft in the middle but toasty on the outside yet still soft and bendable.
hej mannen ik wil ook in de rij staan voor die give aways. Hoe kom ik in die rij?lid worden ?
🤓
Calling Cilantro, Coriander is next level foreign white man 😂
I do like Fallkniven. I have an NL2 and A1. Really good strong sharp knives. Both mine are in G10. I am interested in the COS steel as it sounds good. Cheers Dave 🇳🇱 🇳🇿
It would have been nice if fallkniven soldered around the blade where it passes through the handle’s steel guard to prevent moisture entering through the seam. Many knife makers, such as Bob Dozier implement that process.
I’ve got the standard Udun this same size and love it. Over 16 years now. The convex blade is perfect. Sadly it’s not a full tang. And sadly the sheath isn’t up to the same level and quality of the knife. I believe that this is the best field knife ever built.
Survival lilly has a fidget toy made of cos. She keeps it in her nightstand and it runs on 12 D batteries.
Without knowing what it is, it reads like an adult toy that goes where the sun doesn’t shine.
But maybe that is just a dirty mind😇
THIS KNIFE COSTS IN EUROPE 374,40€. THEY CAN KEEP IT FOR THEMSELVES.
The handle made me think of a knife i haven't seen reviewed but that i'm quite curious about: the Rinaldi 240 hunting knife. Cheapest convexe you can find, and if it's as good as their axes, then it's a bargain !
I-AM-SO-VERY-GLAD I decided to build up a nagao-higonokami collection recently.
Otherwise i would go mad about this knife.
I'm sure.
But I'm sure i do not.
No.
Don't want it.
Not at all.
Neither the tacos.
fuck it's 9am and i'm already hungry
Wait a minute you have a girlfriend I thought you two were a couple do you know totally confused
@@farfromtheheart Back in the day that was called a beard
Premium knifes and premium meat. I'm getting an impression, like you made it. Rich boys, stay humble.
I am happy to tell you that when you are a well followed knife channel you dont have to pay full price for the knives. Cheers mate!
These stacked leather handles sure are beautiful. I don't have this one, because of the price, but I have some others in my collection. They just don't leave the house. Leather sheaths can also be beautiful but not the most practical in wet conditions. I agree that the best slicers for food prep are not the best batoning knives and vice versa, so bring two knives. The F1 was of course designed as a 'one tool option' (pilot survival knife) and they did a great job. A 'Jack of all trades', master of none. I think the same goes for the JP Peltonen M07 Ranger Puukko for those who prefer carbon steel. I bought two of them. One in desert tan and fully coated with composite sheath for my collection and one in black uncoated with composite sheath. They have a high scandi grind what I consider to be a saber grind. The F1 is smaller, lighter and an overal more compact package easy to throw in basically any bag or even in your cargo pocket. It's what I call my 'just in case knife' when I don't intent to use it (much) but still want a knife with me. The handle is too thin for my large hands for prolonged use. The M07 is a bit larger with a thicker rounded handle that could be a 'one tool option' for when I want to travel light but know I'm gonna work with it a for a prolonged time. Air force vs Army. Pilots expect to take of, stay in the air and land (not crash). Army knows they will be on the ground most of the time. Maybe you should test the M07 uncoated. I think this roll lock system is brilliant.
I don't know I just got my Bravo 1 in CPM Cruwear, suretouch handles with liners and it's a beautiful beast
Best Knife ever. 😍
You guys made me want to buy a knife I didn’t know I needed and made me super hungry at the end… thx guys😂
I am convinced, the next knife.
My $80 Cold Steel Leatherneck Bowie in German D2 performed very admirably this past weekend, opening food, chopping and splitting wood, I’m quite pleased with it. You have a beautiful knife there but wow…$$$.
I ordered myself a NL5 cos. today! Can’t wait for my new baby to arrive! Do you know of any good custom leather sheath makers that can make a new sheath for my new knife?
No?
@@spudd78Yeah , i know one, myself. You would not be able to afford my prices, I work slow and my time isn’t cheap.
I love to see you guys excited by a knife. The wonder and joy in your eyes is palpable, great music, great video!
That tang is in no way comparable to a full tang. The sharp corner between the tail and the handle piece is a weak spot.
Yea! We’ve seen that with kabar!
Congrats guys. I remember the surprise reveal of the original NL5 on the channel.
But bear in mind, 4 of 400 is 1%, not 10%. :)
10 times is a standard figure of exaggeration for all of the information you get here!
they should have used Elmax, cos is outdated now. powedersteels are the future
What's the difference in the handle between that NL and the F,S,A1 series knives besides material? I mean feel and dimensions?
My F1's blade is quite literally the best blade that I own, for the blade itself. But they made the handle, apparently, for my 10yr old daughter...
Is the NL handle meant for an actual grown man? Because that knife looks sweet, but I'd be disappointed if it feels as thin and weird as the F1 does...
Want...
...
But the wife won't let me
The USMC K-Bar could do with making their tang that size. It might last better than how it fell apart when you tested it.
So... when will they make a Magnacut version?🤔
Truly a beautiful piece of steel and art! A few month ago I bought a Malanika Bushcrafter with dark walnut handles, true convex and Magnacut, after watching your videos :) .. still love it so much, this would also be a nice comparison to the fjällkniven. Love your channel ❤
😮 looking really awesome ... and the knifes as well 😂 ... jokes aside , a real beauty, a real tool without the lack of style ... somehow directly creating a wild west mood in my mind
I have found the Cowry-X version of the Idun to be better at slicing and carving than the Lam Cos version. Have you found the same? Also - the Cowry-X version of the Idun has slightly different geometry. The cowry version has a clean convex all the way down from the spine. The Lam Cos version I have and more of a shoulder closer to the blade edge. (just for reference) Again - have you found the same?
I bought one and it arrived today!
f1x elmax will eat that knife with welded rat tang for breakfast.
Alright already, I'll buy one. Sheesh...Quit bugging me about it guys, just to shut you two up I ordered one.
Hahahahaha
thanks shill!
@@inthemiddleof you don't know what a shill is if you think me dropping 500 on another knife I don't need somehow benefits me financially.
19:12….. is that a chip I see in the edge?
dbk casually just having one of the coolest shots theyve ever had with that fire circle
Hahaha thanks a lot
DBK boys experiencing the dream moment come true. Amazing.
Anyone can make delicious tacos. I live in America, have family in Peru and have been to Peru, Mexico and Europe. I’ve had delicious food from everywhere I’ve been. Us White people can make food from anywhere, in a perfect way.
I really like how you pronounce "VG" as "Fiji", I'm loving the accent!
Looks like it perfectly checks all my boxes. You guys need to have a knife festival with knife Olympics like feathersticking, batoning, sharpening and more. Mickey could play music while dbk swag sells out :)
tbf the vg 10 probably performed better than before because of all of your aftermarket sharpening. Grind angle has the biggest effect on edge retention outside of material choice, so you actually might have made the knife better than it could be out of the factory
Ah yes, our pursuit of fine knife steel. My first knife was a buck 119. I still have it. Then, a Boy Scout knife, normark, martiini, and on and on and on. I am a blessed man. I honestly cannot say I have a favorite because I cherish all of them.
Hi
Do you guys know if they will make some NL5 again? This is a real beauty! But out of stock erverywhere...
by the way, thanks for all your great vids. Informative fun, I love that :)
another great video , nice content, easy to watch , genuine friendship and love for knives
You two are so far off... two boys from the burbs playing with knives doing things no professional ever does. We live in the bush raising cattle, guiding hunters, and deliberately using the survival techniques most will never do (Lucky them?) NOBODY professional (lives in the bush for a living) shaves timber to light emergency fires, nobody batons timber that's been conveniently chainsawed to length, nobody wants a leather handled knife. I supposed you guys must laugh at those who get fooled by your past-time. Good luck, men.
The only down side of watching all of your videos is not having hours of content to keep watching. It’s just fun to watch people enjoy the outdoors. I sadly have a collection of BRK’s and they keep breaking on me. I did just get in a 5in Freeman in Magnacut that is beastly and battle ready but it’s no bushcraft knife.
I really want to see a video on the Milwaukee duct knife it's around 20$ and it's a ridiculously tough blade for 20. it throws like a beast too😂
I'm confused a bit. Why wouldn't you guy like the Fallkniven F1X in Elmax better than this NL5 in Cos? The F1X has a full tang AND better steel, no?
They do love it, but as they say in the video this is a dream knife for them also because of the looks
yes this one is just very sexy! Even though the F1X might be the better hard use knife this one is just a wet dream for us
Hi guys, I asked you in the test of Joker Nomad 6.5 if the Nomad had a real full tang or a skeletonized full Tang.Can you please answer my question? Thanks!
the way Martins silly grin is lit up by the scraping of a firesteel at 11:50 of the video... you can feel the NL5 love! great video guys, i have the VG10W version...
So I’m a white boy that married in to a Mexican family and I’ve got to say your tacos look pretty dang tasty! if you guys are ever in Denver, Colorado hit us up we’ll make us some authentic Mexican food. Great video keep it up.
This video explains some of your conclusions. I reckon the reason for your ignoramus could be the Duch educational system. Nonetheless, you're always very entertaining.
Seeing you guys this happy makes me happy. Enjoy your dream knives! :)
Brilliant video, can i get your old one please.....? Just thought I'd ask boys......🏴🏴🏴👍👍👍
🤔mmm... No hahaha
My old knives are my retirement funds
you videos always put a smile on my face, and this episode - especially. Congrats with dreams come true!
Hello, what is the best fixed blade knife you could try? I watched several of your videos but you destroy them all, I can not decide ;-) thank you
Haha if I understand well every knife is the very best knife of the world..
Good to simplify a choice 😂
No offense...but a $500 knife? I can buy 5 awesome knives at $100 and probably never need the other 4.
That round flour or corn object is not a taco, but the name is tortilla. The tortilla can be used in making what you did and it is called a soft taco. Regardless, always look forward to your videos.
I bow in awe and encouragement from your year-long voyage to give your fans and the professional users the best possible experience in sharpened tools.
There needs to be a test against Survival Lily's knife.
Lmaoo they already done it
Liiiilly
