Thank you so much for your video and positive first reaction. This means a lot to us. This knife wouldn't be here without your videos that created our passion for knives. We hope it will serve you well!
I can see Mickey B wiping Martins tears watching oryginal master bushcrafter acknowledging their hard work. Good Job guys. You made a milestone achievement
Definitely not Worth the money. 430 euros!? For Simple knife! I know this guys are well known and social media do a lot but Hey you can get simmilar blades for 250 euros in cpm 3v which is better choice for bushcraft. Malanika knives are cheaper. Shame!
@@jimlahey5623Well, that is a hefty price tag on the DBK bushcrafter. Too much money for many knife people, but regarding the price trc demands for its own models I think the price is comparable. Personally I would not by knifes in this price class, since there are other brands and makers that have the same quality, like the one you mentioned.
It is so good to see you back making refreshing videos. I followed all your Silky saw reviews and bushcrafting material. Although your knife and crafting expertise is wonderful, your greatest gift is that you make massive efforts to master the English language, and for that alone, we should be extremely grateful and humble. Thank you so much.
Could not wait to watch this knife review. As others have already stated, it has come full circle for the DBK boys, and you pay them great honor with your thorough and honest review that was of the highest marks. Looking forward to the upcoming field review of this knife. Thank you, Doctor, for all the knowledge and content that you have given us through the years.
I am so happy this happened, happy for our DBK boys but also happy for virtuovice, he is an idol for many of us... I wish all of you all the best in the future :)
As always, a no nonsense fact based assessment. I appreciate the straightforwardness so much. No hype, no drama, just the facts. The Master has done it again!
I think the slow continual curve from tip to handle on the DBK is actually excellent for bushcrafting. Feathers like a dream! Not so much a slashing/fighting knife. Nice job Doc!
When I decided to look into the issue of saws, TH-cam suggested your channel to me. I have watched some videos of you using Silky saws. As a result, I now have three Silky saws: Bigboy, Gomtaro and Katanaboy 650. I am very pleased with these tools, as now chopping firewood while hiking has become a real pleasure. Your videos about knives are also very interesting. It's a little strange to me that you, while in Japan, use knives from European manufacturers. It seems to me that the craftsmanship of knife making in Japan is at the highest level. It's always interesting and informative to watch your videos, thank you.
@@Dhari1 If weight and size do not matter, then most likely Katanaboy 650. But this is precisely in order to cut large logs. For small woodwork, up to about 10 cm in diameter, I would prefer a Gomtaro saw. It has a straight blade and is very convenient for such work. Bigboy is a versatile, compromise option when light weight and sufficient performance are needed. I use either Katanaboy + Gomtaro or Bigboy + Gomtaro depending on the situation. For me weight and size matter. If I go to the forest for a short time, then there is no point in carrying Katanaboy with me. Naturally, the performance of this saw is the largest of those listed. I will separately note saws with a curved blade. In my opinion, they are needed for arborists and those who care for fruit trees. For hiking in the woods and chopping firewood or for bushcrafting, a straight blade saw is better.
@@hikewomeatI use the curved Gomboy for simple overnight camp trips. I prefer to take fallen wood instead of cutting down trees. I noticed the curved blade helps remove more wood easily from different angles without moving much (usually wood on the ground has veg clutching it) that helps me only need one stomp to break smaller sections easily.
@@timasuna1756 I do not often cut the trees. Only in the case when such a tree is a danger and can fall onto the tent. I never cut living trees at all. It all depends on the type of forest. Where I most often go, the forest consists of large coniferous trees. I try to use thick logs for the fire. I use thin branches to burn them in a wood stove. Perhaps in certain cases a saw with a curved blade is more convenient. It depends on specific circumstances. Moreover, I use a machete to cut thin branches. If the thickness does not exceed 5-7 cm, then using a machete, you can cut branches much faster than a saw.
The fact is under the handle there is so Little steel and so much skeletonized that i wouldnt trust this knife. Joe x did destruction test and it broke in handle.. Nope, i will pass this one
Skeletonization is complete fail. Mike Stewart of BRKT actually said on Skeletonized tangs “it actually makes it stronger” to which Cliff Stamp (an actual Physicist and knife and sharpening master in the truest sense of the word) said “well, by that reasoning the strongest configuration would be no handle at all!” 😂 BRKT have some very nice designs and I own a few of them but I’ll never buy them again on principle.
I believe the alignment of the point of the knife to the centerline is for making holes in bushcraft. Makes it easy to spin the knife after pushing the tip in to carve out the material.
This V.V. Video reminds me of days and years past...... when it was almost every week we heard from Virtuovice. Life must go on, but as long as I'm here, I won't forget... 😉
Hello Dr. Wako! I am a big fan of your videos and the knowledge you share with this community. I also have been wondering if you have any knife for sale? :)
People are asking ridiculous money for knives these days. They have become objects of desire/snob value items from functional tools. Those who disagree can spare me the comments about skill and efforts that go into making them. There are still some who do not charge an arm and leg yet offer quality knives.
@@mdirtydogg DBK (just like most bigger youtubers) are taking advantage of their fame by making profit. I'm sure they are already receiving a nice check every month for having ads on their channel. It's their channel so they can run it anyway they want but I question their integrity and anyone else's who can't say no to making profit off their hobby.
I've been interested in the DBK knife ever since they started talking about it a couple years back. On a separate topic, I think it would be good if DBK left Martin's backyard and came to Japan where you all could meet up and do a video or two together. @DutchBushcraftKnives if you come to Tokyo I'd be happy to show you around.
You sir were right about the Jabs ...Nobody in my household took the poke. Now im watching all the numbers rising not falling .... The worild is not healthier , life incurance has claims skyrocketing. Knives havent been on my list lately....BUT i an happy to see you got their DBK blade. ❤ Stay happy my friend.
I got my DBK knife with the plastic sheath. This turned out to scratch up my beautiful knife while I was carrying it fishing on a sandy beach. I need the leather sheath and a good idea on how to remove scratches from the blade.😢😢
I still cant sharpen a convex so Im not a fan of it. Its a nice knice though ! No finger choice or thumb ramp no waste of blade. the first knife looks great !
A blade with a continuous curve, or near continuous curve, (belly line) is far more useful in bushcraft usage than a straight line. Check out Mors Kochanski’s book and the Skookum Bushtool for info on it. It’s absolutely superior in wood carving.
Thank you so much for your video and positive first reaction. This means a lot to us.
This knife wouldn't be here without your videos that created our passion for knives. We hope it will serve you well!
Looks like a wet dutch boys dream ❤
Full circle
I am very happy that this day has come. I love Virtuovice and DBK videos that sparked my passion for knives. Thanks my friends.
virtuovice reviewing the DBK knife: "no problem"
Amazing seeing this, the master has approved
I can see Mickey B wiping Martins tears watching oryginal master bushcrafter acknowledging their hard work. Good Job guys. You made a milestone achievement
haha thank you so much! I am really happy. This knife wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for the virtuovice channel

Now we need to see Survival Lilly reviewing your knife!
HELLO knife people. 3 great words to hear. Always happy to see a new video 👍👍 from USA
Good to see you again. We learned so much from you about hunting and sharpening knives. Thank you for your time and your videos.

So they finally made it! rumour has it that the DBK channel was started because of your content, and now you're reviewing their knife! full circle.
I think the slow continual curve from tip to handle on the DBK is actually excellent for bushcrafting. Feathers like a dream! Not so much a slashing/fighting knife. Nice job Doc!
Its heartwarming to see you still making videos
I found this Chanel through the DBK boys and loved it ever since

Hey there, quick question if you don't mind: If size and weight is not a problem what Silky would you choose?

Not relevant to the post 🤷 I just love the curved Gomboy for it's ease of procuring downed wood clutched by ivy

The fact is, the DBK Bushcrafter is one, if not the best designed bushcraft knife out there. Get them while you can.
The fact is under the handle there is so Little steel and so much skeletonized that i wouldnt trust this knife.
Joe x did destruction test and it broke in handle..
Nope, i will pass this one
@@jimlahey5623
So, your saying that your going to stab car hoods and throw boulders at your knives while your “surviving?”
@@jimlahey5623
Link to test?
Skeletonization is complete fail.
Mike Stewart of BRKT actually said on Skeletonized tangs “it actually makes it stronger” to which Cliff Stamp (an actual Physicist and knife and sharpening master in the truest sense of the word) said “well, by that reasoning the strongest configuration would be no handle at all!”
😂
BRKT have some very nice designs and I own a few of them but I’ll never buy them again on principle.
Very glad to hear you again, Dr.Wako! I'm your subscriber from Ukraine many years ago. Wait your new videos with fishing, bushcraft and hunting.
Loving it. Wako back into the knife reviews...can't wait for the next one. Miss your flashlight reviews, too! :)
great video, havent watched either channel in a long while. glad to see both are doing really well!
That is just beautiful a truly magnificent piece aswell as the leather work which is class I love the thickness it'll last a whole life time .
So good to see you back Sir.....happy to see you post again.
Hooray! Love everything about this channel and this vid. Happy days! What knowledge, dedication, and passion. What a combination.
I bet the DBK guys peed a little watching this.
To have a TH-cam knife legend praising your design choices is a special thing. Grats, lads.
Beautiful new knife. I hope it performs well for you. I predict it will.
So very happy for you guys ! A top#-flight review from a REAL outdoorsman 👏
Good to see another English video again. Nice looking knife! Looking forward to the outdoor review.
Thanks for this video
I have always loved your knife clips for years.
I can see a Enzo influence in this DBK Knife. :)
Very good looking knife. Thank you for showing us.
Thank you grandmaster for the review! Mickey and Martin can be proud for sure.
Good to see you making knife videos again. Long overdue.
Definitely no surprise at all. They wanted it in your hands from the moment they made the deal to have them made.
I believe the alignment of the point of the knife to the centerline is for making holes in bushcraft. Makes it easy to spin the knife after pushing the tip in to carve out the material.
Love those dbk guys they are crazy dudes!!! Would love to see a knife from you DR. Vice!!! Love your channel my friend!!!
I was very happy/proud for the boys watching this. What a moment.
So the guys are arrived to Japan.
Looks like a perfect beast of a knife, doesn't it?
1st! I love your videos Sir! Have a great and blessed day!
A circle is completed. DBK have the approval of their inspirational Master.
So happy to see another video! Always love watching them.
So glad to see another video from you Dr. and can't wait for the actual use video. Arigato gozaimas.🙏
Great to see you back again !
That DBK looks great! And with my Garberg, I used epoxy on the handle, sanded it down and painted it so it is more comfortable.
Finally somebody that knows how to give a knife review
I missed your videos! Thank you for the video. Really appreciated!
No way, this must be surreal for the boys.
This feels absolutely insane!!
The crossover I’ve been waiting for!!!!!
This V.V. Video reminds me of days and years past...... when it was almost every week we heard from Virtuovice. Life must go on, but as long as I'm here, I won't forget... 😉
Looking forward to that DBK x MORA comparison video 🙌
Great video, I like your insight and I miss your flashlight reviews too!
I just got a Bark River Bravo 1 on DLT for $187.18 after my July 4th coupon and caching in my points.
Mickey and Martin idol this guy. They are in Heaven having him review their work
Hello Dr. Wako! I am a big fan of your videos and the knowledge you share with this community.
I also have been wondering if you have any knife for sale? :)
Hey old friend! That looks pretty nice.
Knive History being made right here. The DBK Boys' wet dream for sure...
Excellent review. Thank you !
I went and had a look at the prices.count me out, looking around the $800AU, killer looking sheath though.enjoy👍🇳🇿

I am pleased that my favorite knife aficionado has good things to say about knives made by my other favorite knife aficionados!
Excellent video, great information, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, God Bless
You sir were right about the Jabs ...Nobody in my household took the poke. Now im watching all the numbers rising not falling ....
The worild is not healthier , life incurance has claims skyrocketing.
Knives havent been on my list lately....BUT i an happy to see you got their DBK blade. ❤
Stay happy my friend.
The circle is complete.
Thank You For Sharing ! This DBK Knife is a nice COPY of the Bark River Knife that is made in America !
Which one?
A little Bark river, a little Fallkniven, a little Enzo trapper leather holster, a claims steel and the recipe worked.
Awesome review! My dbk knife is also great
ITS COME FULL CIRCLE!!! Let’s go boys!
So go catch some trout and clean em up with the DBK...That will be a very good video.....
Great review,how does someone even go about buying one of these. On their website all I see are sheaths.
I got my DBK knife with the plastic sheath. This turned out to scratch up my beautiful knife while I was carrying it fishing on a sandy beach. I need the leather sheath and a good idea on how to remove scratches from the blade.😢😢
LOVE your knife rewies!!!
I hope they would comsider doing a roach belly design. Much more useful for hunting and cooking.
Good looking blade I know those boys were glad to get that knife in your hands. Be easy
Missed the videos, thanks for this
That knife is very nice, it has very nice contours
@viruovice Id love to see you skinn a deer with the knife, or atleast partially try it on a deer..
The boys are gonna lose thier sh!+ 😂 well done
Thank u for video. Its good to hear your voice again
I still cant sharpen a convex so Im not a fan of it. Its a nice knice though ! No finger choice or thumb ramp no waste of blade. the first knife looks great !
Oh what a pleasant surprise…a new knife review by virtuovice!
@DutchBushcraftKnives waiting for your comment : )
Not planning to get one, just wanting to hear the good Doctor talk about knives again.
Nice to see a video from you. Would you please consider doing a video on your wristwatches in the future? Thanks very much.
Great video! knife looks another like a bravo 1
いつものように、とても良いビデオです。クロアチアからこんにちは！
I love my dbk knife Mr. Vice.....best elmax I own
waiting for the working review. thanks
The inspiration behind DBK
"Hello, knife people!" Thank you!!
Can’t wait to se it in the field.
A blade with a continuous curve, or near continuous curve, (belly line) is far more useful in bushcraft usage than a straight line.
Check out Mors Kochanski’s book and the Skookum Bushtool for info on it. It’s absolutely superior in wood carving.
なんてすばらしい動画でしょう😂
Im pre-ordering 3 of them 🎉
Is the handle larger than the Bark River Gunny?
thank you , I will buy this tool.
SUPER...
This is the review they care about I think!
Thanks for the video dude!
the master at work!
That's a Bark River Bravo.
Can u make a video about your deer rifles please. Keep up the good work 👍
🤭❣️🤭❣️... Thank'YOU Bro!
