NOT A FAN OF T.O.P.S. AT ALL..EXCEPT FOR THE AMAZING BASECAMP PARANG..I DISLIKE DUMB,OLD RUSTY 1095 (FOR A PREMIUM PRICE)
KEEPING IT 100% REAL...THE HEAT TREAT/CRYO THEY USE IS AMAZING.MAYBE THE BEST 1095 EVER OR "CROVAN"
SEMPER FI
GUNNY
U MUST TEST BASECAMP PARANG....ONLY SOLD BY (SMKW) PRICE DROPPED AFTER I YELLED AT THEM
An idea for your future videos would be to rate the sheath. How easy is it to carry, withdraw the knife. Most of my time with a knife it's not in my hand. How easy is it get take out the sheath. Can you do it one hand. Something like a combat knife I would think you would want to deploy it one hand.
Did the edge on the pommel work for scraping the firesteel?
Guys, Lionsteel makes the M4 in Magnacut too! They've changed the finish Wouldn'it that be a great idea for a new video??!
Such an enjoyable video as always. Also, keep in mind that the whole saying is "A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one."
Bam, that is going straight in the brain to be quoted in future episodes! Thanks guys! Love it
I guess the master of one is in this case the froe. It pays to know and appreciate masters when you’re an expensive jack
I’ve also heard the one “Right tool for the right job” but I like this one better “If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail”
I love my Tops knives, but you guys have got to put better sheaths on them. I like that you have started sending smaller knives, like my Dawn Warrior, in kydex. But the ballistic nylon garbage on the larger knives, like my Longhorn Bowie, has got to go. The Longhorn would have been an excellent candidate for classy leather. Instead you sent it in something that looked like it was made by a 12 year old in a sweatshop. And I had to pay $80 on custom kydex.
TOPS Knives is out here reminding everyone what can be done with plain old 1095 steel and perfect heat treatment. Pretty remarkable!
They run the edge at 56-58 that isn't a perfect heat treatment it's a soft but tough one which is reasonable to some degree but you can get higher hardness and toughness with proper geometry
@@sekayegaudet131 Higher hardness and higher toughness are polar opposites you can have one without negelecting the other, especially in 1095
DBK i love you and watch you since 1st video, too bad im too poor to do patreon. Keep it up my lovely brothers. Greetings from Poland. You always bring smile to me in these harsh times
thank you so much for your kind words! Viewing and commeting is also support! We appreciate it a lot
YES! I've had this knife for years and was waiting for this blade to appear on the channel. Knife is a serious beast!
Another great video, Thursday has become my favorite day of the week!!
I'm a Retired U.S. Marine, myself and I loved seeing this new combat knife by a Marine and Top's Knives.
I would ABSOLUTELY like to see the USMC, 3S Bayonet, by OKC.
It's what a Marine goes to Combat with now, and it would be amazing to see it put to the test !!!
I always love Thursdays. New DBK is always a good thing.
Love Thursday cause I get off of a stressful day at work to watch a peaceful DBK! Thanks guys
Hi guys! I'm from Indiana in the U.S.. I'm not even into bushcraft, but I love watching your videos! You definitely make me want to buy a TOPS knife.
We'll be in Indianapolis at the NRA show the 14th through 16th. Come take a look
Beware, the pan they used for their clownesk video was made of VERY soft metal...
DBK you guys are so entertaining to watch, I appreciate that you would deliberately leave in bloopers and not edit them out to try an be perfect. It makes you human and a lot more entertaining to watch. Julle is wonderlik!
My Sister bought me one for Christmas 9 years ago... Been Lovin it ever since!!!
DBK bringing another knife that I can’t afford right now (saving for the new DBK Knife)
This surprised me. It’s a hell of a hard use knife. Purpose built and heat treated damn good. You guys do the best videos. Every Thursday is a good one when you guys upload. Thanks for the amazing content guys!
The pan they used is made of very soft metal. They tried to fool everyone with that video.
@@DiabloOutdoors it sure did fold like aluminum now that you said this. Haha! Damn man even the DBK guys are doing the slick moves. We need cast iron pan cuts from today on! Haha!👊
@@WhatsthePOINT_EDC Or at least some good pans and not cheap, soft, thin aluminum.
Love Tops, lucky enough to own a bunch. They do have a good few knives made more for bushcraft than survival or military use etc. I'd love to see you review the Brakimo, great knife that I personally love from them. Or the SXB...just for fun because its such a monster survival tool 😁
Tops differentiate their heat treat so a sharp spine would not hold up. Check out the Prather war Bowie you will love that to. It is my favorite fixed blade that I own
Owner of four TOPS now, always nice knowing what I grab is going to be dependable. Love them, even if they're a little odd sometimes ;)
A wonderful birthday gift, thanks DBK!
Always enjoy your vidios
I literally just bought this night yesterday. It’s not even here yet. I’m so happy you made this video. I’m gonna cry.
Tops knives are one of my top favourites, I'm fortunate enough to have 5 of the beasts! The BOB bushcraft knife is superb.
“but oftentimes better than a master of one” is the most important part of the quote.
I consider Top Knives one of best three american factory fixed knife brand followed by Esse and Buck.Lately I've got a clue for the its success.From Idaho,they made a knife that joints the excellence and the american business way with a latin touch of what is a knife from the mind of its founder-president Leo Espinoza.
in terms of heat treatment Tops is a king. In my opinion quite a way above Buck
This is my second Dutch Bushcraft video, and I am enjoying your information, perspective and personalities. Wish I could hang out with you guys! Cheers from the San Francisco bay, California. I think if I was doing bushcraft I would modify the blade by removing the guards to make it more comfortable. If TOPS made a variation already like this aimed at pure bushcraft they might have a winner. I now have a deep need for one of those big firesteels.
Now thats what the USMC should be. Full tang and as tough as a 50 gallon metal drums. I'm glad you made a new baton Maarten cause I noticed how beat up the one in the beginning was lol 😂😂
I own the Tops WILD PIG HUNTER , extremely close in design to this knife.
That was impressive. I didn’t think it’d hold up that well.
Tops knives are appropriate for this channel. Both are comedy gold.
Well actually the most important part of the saying "Jack of all trades is master of none..." is the last last part "... but oftentimes better than a master of one".
The quality of this knife made me remember a time back when the USA manufactured ( Not assembled ) all of their products at home & were well respected around the world for their renowned quality & craftsmanship.
We ( USA ) used to create things with such true passion & real skill that every single product we crafted, be it cars to knives to electronics, was expected to be of high quality without question or concern; Everything we crafted when touched, let the consumer know that the person who made this genuinely cared about their craft.
I hate seeing the current state of top dollar manufacturing / craftsmanship in the USA but am excited for the future due to the passion that is being revived & found in the small / local independent businesses that are being created,
Thanks DBK!
I have one of the original Tops BOB knives and I took a Dremel to the coating on the spine and removed it. Now it throws sparks like a giant sparkler.
As long as I clean it up whenever i get back home and give it a decent coating of oil, it doesn't rust.
A long time ago, I sharpened my brothers Tops knife and came to the same conclusion...they make an excellent....excellent 1095 steel ...and heat treatment.
I was watching this video when a few friends of my wife stopped by and they watched it with me. Well, they are not to much into camping or bushcraft or things like that and I ended up answering questions about knives and the tests you do listening to them say " no one is going to be chopping a frying pan in camp or doing this and that, so I explained that you do this to find the limits of a knife, what it can or can't do and how it performs at whatever task you set before the knife, they asked why and I told them so you would know what was possible to do with the knife and if you can depend on the knife if you were in a survival situation, life or death situations are not a joke and you want the best tools you can get to be there for you. They wanted to know more so I told them to subscribe to your channel and a few bushcraft channels and they can learn a lot about knives from you. I think that they are interested in bushcraft and camping and such and you are going to have a few more subs, thanks again for what you guys do and keep them coming and I'll keep watching
I am new to channel and you both turn me into a knife junkie now. Thank you as I have been using the wrong knives during my hunts here in the US.
That knife gives me chills NGL. I want one for no reason other than that!
Yep.
If you could do the Prather War Bowie next that would be dope.
Thanks for the video. Use the swedge to scrape the firesteel.
Finally! A full-tang KaBar! Excellent idea- I wish it had been available forty years ago. Good video, guys.
Just like a Marine. Hard to handle and tough as nails. Nice job gents on another great review. Semper Fi.
Awesome video. I will definitely buy it. Thank u
Thank you for your kind words!
Watched one of your videos 2 weeks ago. Instantly subscribed and have been binge watching ever since. Great jobs guys keep em coming
Love your videos, this is my first time commenting on any video. I’m also learning as well about bush crafting to do some back country motorcycle camping in Canada. Looking for a great starter knife, thx for all the reviews. Very enjoyable and informative channel.
You might want to continue searching for actual bushcraft knowledge.
The most important part is. It’s better to have a master of nome then a master of one!!!
Thank you for this guys. Always good to see you
As an American it's funny to be finding out about this knife here. Thanks and keep it up.
Thank You for the another great video! You guys helped me get through a period where I was just waiting for Thursday. Keep it up!
Great video guys. This knife is a beast!!!!
Will have to look into it. It has decent lines. I’m still waiting on my Chris Reeves Pacific plain edge. Wilson Combat/Wilson Tactical used to make a number of great combat blades with nice lines, but sadly they no longer make those models.
Thanks guys for other entertainment. I have enjoyed.
I just purchased the very same knife and I'm loving it. I was looking for a tough knife that could take the place of my broke machete and I have found it. Great video guys.
VERY impressed with this Knife, I’m going to keep my eyes out for one, great Video Fellas, Thanks 😎
Tops' 1095 is magic.
Great video guys!
You two are freaky mean to tools! Just freaky mean!
"TOPS knives are overpriced for 1095 steel!"
TOPS: *dominates all tests*
I have experience with this knife I'm positive.. very good weapon highly recommend
The best you can get in my country at friday's mourning its not coffee, its dbk video)))
Ontario Ranger-6 for over 10 years, beat it to hell and back, still strong as ever
I like to see tops, kabar and esee all of them used same 1095 steel test! Cut rope, batoning, cut bone and many more.. just do it!
5:24 Really impressed you eventually locked it to land on the Tip.
Got me interested in this - will consider for any replacement for my BK-7.
Take it easy Gentlemen with best wishes from Western Scotland.
Cheers
Looks like the finger choyle (however it is spelled) could be a fire scraper....I'd have to see it in person but it looks pretty squared off on the edge.
Re: your comment about "No one should care about stabbing." Probably not in the woods in civilian life, but this knife is, first and foremost, a weapon, to be used as such. In the sentry neutralization role, the most effective way to "neutralize" an enemy is to stab them. However, other than ease of manufacture, there is no reason for leaving the hilt as it is. A simple heat and twist, so that the hand guard is at right angles to the blade and tang, would address the problem.
another honest review ! thanks guys
Cool video, Thank you guys
Another great video boys. Thank you. I also just got the A1 pro so now I have all of the pro knives. Love them.
Great video lads, did expect there to be a gun fight with some of the music!🤣🤣🤣great work
Just like to point out, The second most decorated Marine in United States history/patron saint to every crayon eating bloodthirsty moron in the Corp was a guy named Chesty Puller who began by fighting rebels in Haiti in the 20s, and then fought with distinction in ww2 and the Korean War.
His quotes ranged from, “I’ve always believed that no officer’s life, regardless of rank, is of such great value to his country that he should seek safety in the rear…officers should be forward with their men at the point of impact.” saying this, as an officer, who would bunk with his men, and personally lead charges.
To,
“We’ve been looking for the enemy for some time now. We’ve finally found him. We’re surrounded. That simplifies the problem.”
To
"Where do you put the bayonet," when shown a flamethrower for the first time.
I'd like to see this knife go up against the Ontario SP-6.
You're quite right; I must have one of these knives. I can't TELL you how many times I've been attacked in the woods by heavy aluminum frying pans, and said to myself, "I WISH I had a knife that wouldn't be ruined by my self-defending efforts." REALLY? you ask? No, not REALLY, but I still want one.😁😁😁😁
"No one should care about stabbing!" I mean, I'd rather not think about fire extinguishers, but situations arise...
I have one of the earlier versions of this knife and minus some tip damage from it falling off my porch and hitting the concrete it is a very durable knife.
I turned to you guys to ease my knife buying decision but you’ve only made it more difficult. This is definitely the nice of knives that speaks to my heart to most. My father was an outdoorsman on a rare level and the knives that he kept and showed me left an impact. He had this gerber with a metal handle but it was a fixed blade and the steel was the brightest shiniest steel Id ever seen. He also had a buck 119 or whatever it is and I have had two over the years myself.
Okcs3 bayonet is great knife I’ve swore for years if I could only have one knife that would be it I’ve put it through miles of wood for fire making. This knife is so similar but without serrations I like the serrations on large knives. Great video thanks
I love my tops us combat
Iw as working with this guy named Laci on a military contract. We're shooting the shit, really nice guy. Get to talking knives. He tells me he's a knife designer and he'll send me one.
Turns out he sent me this exact knife and he was Laci Szabo
Szabo's the best!
@TOPS Knives He really is. Nice humble guy. To be honest I thought he was full of crap 😂
Designed by a Hungarian man. Nice work Laci! Üdv Magyarországról.
Love this. Big TOPS knives fan here.
Try the Moccasin Ranger, thicker stock, a little longer, better penetrating design. Still 101% US made from TOPs. As a combat veteran, with eleven deployments, the Moc is the best go to war knife I have ever handled.
I like letting the guys posts build up and then I binge watch them ..usually ending with me buying a new knife 😜😁
Awesome thanks now I have to get another Tops Knife. 🗡️👍🔪
😆 I tried splitting a log once like how the vid started out but with a pocket folder. The damn thing yard sale'd on me, pieces went everywhere.
NOW THAT A GREAT KNIFE…. !! Hands F……g DOWN
Missed opportunity to baton it through a Louisville Slugger... For America
Great job fellas I really enjoy your videos keep it up
I recently bought the tops skinner. It came bloody sharp and was like a lightsaber on a deer I skun and processed.
I always hit the thumbs up button even before the videos start playing .. legends 🤙🏻
Im also glad you guys finally had this knife to appear on your channel for hard testing, i had no doubts thst this knife would pass the baseball bat test and the frying pan cutting test,truly remarkable when you do a grest blade with a great heat trest.
1st glance- Radiused corners at the hilt, no sharp 90 degree corners to induce fractures! @0:14( Like Ka Bar's have)
Real nice gloves. Nice knife to. Ive just been on the hunt for quality leather gloves & those look nice
I enjoyed the background music on this episode.
Dutch Bushcraft knives I have noticed a very important video that you will need to make in the future and that is how to put a 90° spying on a knife for firesteel scraping
Awesome. Great test. TOPS knives deserve their great reputation and price. Better than balls
Have you guys heard of white river knives? Their stuff looks pretty crazy
Tops as their HT with 1095 down to a science, that's for sure.
Lt wright jessmuk please!! You guys will love it, get with 3v, it will blow your mind.
That firesteel is HUGE!! It looks bigger than the Winterpeen, isn't it?
that choil is definitely not intended to choke up on dude. they would have made it significantly bigger if it was.
REQUEST REQUEST!! Can you guys start using a Cast Iron pan from now on? Keep kicking ass guys!!!🔥👊
If you're doing combat knives, try TOPS Operator 7 and Prather War bowie too...
Seems as tough as my old KBar is. I have beaten that thing for years.
I’d like to see you test the new Spartan Blades - Harsey Kukri. It’s a beast and might win best chopper…
Some nice background music finally 👍
