I was wondering if I couldn't but the zippo lighter shell. I have a zippo insert but no shell. I dislike wasteful consumption so if I can have your logo zippo shell I'd appreciate it. Please let me know. Thank you.
P.S. - I too started catching Less Troud
@@johnkurkiewiczjr.3741 Some people can't afford mid to high end knives, so this allows people with less disposable money to be included
Waar a great knives collection
Hallo jonge mannen. een beetje gezondheidspreventieadvies, VERMIJD het eten van verkoold vlees omdat de ophoping van residuen in uw darmen UITERST KANKERverwekkend is. Zorg goed voor jullie allebei. From Canada
You guys should buy from Himalayan imports. I got two 11" kukri knives & two 5.5" utility/ bushcraft knives sent too Ireland for €360. That includes €70shipping. The kukris were $95 each & the utility knife $50 each. I changed the angle of the bevell on the utility knife a small bit & finish by stropping it. Shaving shape. It's full tang & 4mm thick spine for nearly all the length of it. You won't brake it so easily. And then kukris are also full tang.
I dated his niece for a while when i lived in Southern Utah. Compared to the other “survival guys” we all knew him as the only guy who didn’t run to a hotel to sleep at night when doing a show. The real deal. Up in Canada people really love him too
Yup you can tell he's truly passionate about nature and survivalism first before the fame. I enjoyed his series a lot.
exactly! The guys at Helle told me they went with him on a trip to somewhere in russia i believe it was. They were there as the safety crew (not with Les but somewhere near for emergencies) They were having big diners with a private chef in a nice log cabin while Les was all alone in the cold.
To us Canadians that "know" he is a national treasure.🇨🇦
The only time he felt he needed back up was doing the stranded on a liferaft. He had to have a rope tied to his buddies just in case. But dont blame him on that one. It is the most dangerous situation imaginable.
yeah okay
That Trout joke got me pretty good. The setup was perfect to catch me off guard 🤣
Y’all are the only TH-cam channel I watch as soon as the new video drops. Love it!!! 🤩🔥👣
thank you so much!
Les Stroud is awesome, I rewatch Survivorman all the time. In fact, Survivorman is what got me interested in survival and bushcraft which in turn got me into DBK.
It was cool seeing you guys do a Helle knife, I would love to see more!
Man. Seriously there is nothing better for me I think, than laying down real late at night and watching a fresh DBK video about my most favourite hobby (knives) and eating some snacks. Love what you two do for us
I agree
Same.
Les stroud is one of my heroes, grew up watching him as a kid met him in Toronto and got a Helle Utvaer with his signature on the sheath that I hold very close to my heart , been waiting for you guys to review helle for awhile now , thanks for another great video! keep it up guys :)
one thing I like about your videos, you don't take yourselves too serious
I Watch you guys more than any other youtubers, Keep Up The Absolutely Phenomenal Work!!!!!!!
thank you so much for your kind words!
I like to hit mute and fap away.
I love my Temagami, and agree with all your conclusions. The design of the finger-guard has always looked like a place where the wood is likely to break during heavy batoning, so I only baton smaller pieces of wood - small dry branches and so forth. I use my axe for splitting lots, or I put this knife in my pack to use at camp, and carry a larger knife on my hip. Lately I have been carrying the Helle Nord as a belt knife - the Nord is a bigger, stronger knife that can still do bushcraft tasks well.
I have several Helle knives and love them. They aren’t perfect, but are great tools. 🇳🇴
My grandfather used to DVR survivor man back in the day so we could watch it together. The show was great.
Mikkie’s extremely buff chest literally exploding buttons off of his jacket this video. You can’t miss this one guys!
Happy Thursday guys! Hope all is well. Keep up the great times.
Finally a knife I have!! Great seeing your take on it, I have batoned with mine without issue but will definitely be taking a bit more care in the future!
Les is a Canadian Survival Legend! The knife is named after a town in Northern Ontario about several hours from me.
I love the thinner stock on his blade. To me it’s just more useful all round. I hate trying to used a chunky bushcraft knife with a steep wedge of a bevel for food prep and carving tasks. It’s awkward and unenjoyable.
I wish they offered it in O1, 80cvr2, or some other tried and true carbon steel (to keep the cost down). The laminated versions have too soft of a spine to strike a ferro rod even though it’s 90deg.
Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
grind down the sides of laminated steel until you hit the hard center and it will spark !
@@mannihh5274 that’s not how it works 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@tylerwestman5258 - I own a laminated S&S Helle knife and modified it after seen this trick - looks ugly, cause I had to remove quite some steel - but it works !
The inner layer is VG10 at some 60HRc and, of course, sparks like hell.
@@mannihh5274 and every knife I one does that without ruining it
@@tylerwestman5258 - I'm not a knife collector and don't try to keep them in pristine condition. It's not ruined, just modified to my needs.In fact I don't have one single knife that's not modded, starting with a lanyard-hole in my Moras and a true 90° spine and ending with the insertion of a 14/8mm mini ballbearing for a bow drill bearing-block in some fixed blades and folders.
BTW: I'm not particularly fond of laminated steels, the Helle is the only one I own, bought it in my 20s for cheap.
Have a nice XMas time and stay safe
Glad to see a celebrity knife actually be a decent knife 🔪. Like the music and the video
I have used the Helle laminated steel version since it came out. It is super easy to sharpen and takes the best edge of any knife I have ever used. The big handle really lets you control and power the blade through wood. For pure cutting its by far the best. It will not make sparks on a ferro rod because of the soft steel on the laminate. I bought this stainless knife used it for a while and went back to the laminate blade. How
ever if you dont want to have a separate tool for scraping ferro rod and tinder this is the knife for you. I scrape with the spine the sawblade on my multi tool or my bahco laplander
Most of his products are good, even the cheaper stuff. It’s good enough for what it’s designed to do.
My first real knife that I used for hunting was a Helle Eggen. I was obsessed with Les Stroud videos and was all excited about this knife when it came out years ago. But I'm happy for general purpose and skinning with my Eggen. Good company and very sharp knives. Scandi grind on all of them, and the curly birch is beautiful.
I like the bark scrapping idea. Very cool. Thanks!
I recently came back to this channel and love it! Been binge watching all of your videos. Keep up the good work!
Helle make great camping/wood work blades and IMHO the Temagami is one of the best in their range. Les Shroud really knows his stuff (go watch some of his survival vids!!) and the knife design proves it. Can be a bit $$$ but it will work and it will last. Thanks guys. Sharp blades all.
Love you guys greetings from Michigan, USA
nice video again guys, and another knife avoids total destruction….and that pork belly looked bloody amazing!
I've actually seen Les baton on several shows, usually with the lowly Buck 119 which he seemed to favor. Often he used a rock for a baton. The man is a legend to be sure.
Dont know how i missed this one. Helle is the best. I started with a Helle Fire and have not stopped since. Yall are the best!!
Les is a good Canadian boy! Most us Canadians are resourceful and and make anything work in a pinch! But he really takes it to the edge! A legend!
Thanks again guys
I feel this weeks vid has been a long time coming. You two did not disappoint! Great video and great looking pork belly! The one you cooked, not Maarten’s lol.
fker! hahaha thanks a lot
No wonder it was good it's just unsliced bacon lol
Hope to see the new Helle Nord tested by you soon 😉 Maybe one can bribe you with some Smash to bump the queue 😁 Love from Norway
Yea! Wodan and DBK + Mikki are always very informative and quite entertaining. You guys are super cool!
Hey boys,did you hear the news???? survival Lilly made a new knife!!!! Oh my God,i can't wait for your review video!!! Keep up the good work...
Yep, a "Tracker" style knife in Aus8. No doubt it will be overpriced like her APO-1 knife.
Hey guys, hold your folded char cloth on top of your flint with frayed edges out near where you are striking it. The sparks come off the steel on the top edge of the flint so its a lot easier to catch a spark quickly. All the best from the USA.
Excellent video as always boys! The sheath looks pretty nice but think I'd rather have the Mora or Terrasaur
Another good review and video Bushcraft Boys, good stuff.
Yay DBK!
Great vid guys - I like the knife, basically a gentleman's upmarket Mora.
Great knife, video and great song! Really digging that song
It was nice to see you guys do a non-destructive review of a knife. With regard to the knife, as much as I admire Les Stroud, I wouldn't buy this knife. Not because I don't like it. I do like it. It ticks all the boxes for me as a bushcrafter knife. However, I have three other knives that fit that category and I've overcome my collecting addiction.
Hello, what are your 3 knives....I'm looking for ideas
@@chrisgibson2328 G'day, mate. In this broad style, I have a Hultifors GK, a Mora Basic, and a Cudeman MT-5. The Cudeman is much more robust though. More tending towards survival knife. I once had the Benchmade Puukko, and a Puukko that Cudeman makes but I sold the Benchmade and gifted the Cudeman.
@@BradGryphonn G,day Brad. I have never heard of Cudeman but now know it is a Spanish knife maker (because I did a quick search) and that the blade is 5.3mm. I like the micarta but not the jimping. Thanks for replying mate. P.s. I bought a few moras including the garberg when I started buying knives.
@@chrisgibson2328 Hehe, yep. I misnamed the first Mora. I bought the Companion MG heavy duty, not the basic. I bought four of the Hultifors GKs to give to friends. My MT-5 has cocobolo handles and has been well-used. I've got bigger knives but in the theme of Stroud's knife, they're overkill (BK-2, Strongarm, etc). Cudeman have some good knives but they also tend to over-design some of their stuff.
@@BradGryphonn Yeh, I have some overkill blades; British army machetes, a cold steel 1917 bowie which is massive and others which are overkill like you say. There is a growing movement away from these huge knives towards thinner blades like the real puukos because they have more uses. A bk2 used like an axe makes you think of using an axe or a silky saw. Anyway, the Dutch guys have always been good for a laugh.
There is a Finnish bushcrafting channel whose name I can't remember but that guy had exactly the same failure on his temagami.
Edit. His channel is Ali Leiniö.
"Catch Less Trout" I see what you did there 😭
I never would have spend just over $200 for any knife but at a gunshow I traded a gun for this knife and put it in a corner for a few years where it covered its self in rust, my heart sank. Then I took 400 grit wet sand paper and removed most of the rust then I coated the knife in my homemade bees wax -flaxseed mix and no more rust. well since I it was no longer pristine I decided to start using it as an EDC. WOW it soon became my absolute favorite EDC adventure one 4 all knife, now I am totally CONTENT with this never let you down knife. If you think its too expensive just know after actually using it for a while you will soon find a new best friend worth every cent-yen-peso-rupee or what ever it takes to get one. thanks for the xellent review.
I've been toting one of these for about a year now. Excellent general carry utility/bushcraft knife. Les should be proud, it's a very comfortable and well performing knife. I use a large K Bar for batoning...
I've almost bought this knife a few times. Thanks for the info.
You guys are hilarious!!! I love your channel! Stay AWESOME guys!
Enough praise for the knife I like the song.
Love Helle knives.. Sometimes you dont need SuperSteels.. Just simple good knife.
Awesome Job and glad that it had some damage !!! Nice job 🇺🇸🇺🇸🪓🔪👍👍
There's as much quality found in this video as I am used to from DBK knife channel. My favorite is the content is knife-centric. Fixed blade Bushcrafting is my favorite type to watch. I liked this video, one of few including Dr Wako. His insights ( literally this time) are relevant! He's a part of the history of DBK channel
Openi g remarks about Civii button locks: I saw Maarten's TH-cam short about Conspirator and I loved it after it came. Just recently I saw a couple TH-cam channels on knives where they talk about button lock knives. Andre De Villers PitBoss and Kizer Gemini in CPM 4V. These knives are really great!! I like button lock and top shelf steel. They don't replace fixed blade knives. I want to make my own stuff!!! The fun if designing and making it, plus getting to try features I needed. DBK channel fuels my imagination and inspires me on my dreams! Thanks Maarten and Mikkie B!
Wow I was surprise how well it held up,great video guys but now I’m craving some bbq pork 😅😅😅
Les is a legend here in Canada. A true legit survivalist.
Just followed your band on Spotify. Enjoying it.
I’ve had a helle Alden for about 10 years now and it’s been a really good knife
I'm glad I found this channel! Great video
Love that you tested this particular knife by, Les Stroud.
I'd like to see the OKC-3S, USMC, Bayonet put to the test !!!
We need a camping video! You two bushcraft boys in action going an overnight trip where you have to make all your tools/chairs for fun
Giveaway this month is insane!! Lekker bezig mannen
Great vid guys! I agree, if it can baton, let it. Also so many of us out here mod our knives, I’d go ahead and sand down that weak spot if it breaks.
You guys are the most entertaining in this genre!
Damn it, that trout joke killed me.
You guys are my favourite couple on the internet 😉😜🤣😂
He also has had for a long time a knife called the Mandra, also made by Hellle. I've had it for a few years, its a great little guy.
i appreciate your virtuovice reference. that doctor bushcrafter precision.
Have you heard of cooking meat/steaks/chops by "reverse sear" method? Most of the cooking channels will have a demo. It amounts to putting the meat on a cooler area to get a gentle cook-through to almost done, then move to hottest zone to sear both sides. Less burning! That pork did look delectable, though. Food when camping is always better.
The idea of the sear is to lock in the juice. By cooking it on the cooler part of the fire you are loosing juice and only wearing it for texture
Nice Job again boys. You are so of the best
While in a live preview of one of the survivorman episodes, I asked why les rarely batons wood, he responded with something along the lines of "batoning wood has its place, and wood generally burns longer but slightly colder when it's not split down, making material gathering a bit easier, but it's a very useful capability when everything is wet and you need kindling" that quote isn't word for word, Iirc it was temagami with bushman Bob where I asked, so you should be able to find his reply there
man i love this channel, cant believe it took me so long to find. The pork ohhh man.
I absolutely love my temagami my handle also broke at the same place but despite that it has been an absolute work horse and is my go to knife
Absolutely awesome looking eats bruv! I thought about getting one of these blades but way to much money for it! Anywho stay blessed brothers! Watching from the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island in Canada! Cheers, Jerbs 👍🏼🇨🇦
Les is the Man!
I LOVE the look of this knife! But, I think I'll stick with my Lars Falt Sleipner.
Alway watch ur videos since i discovered u guys...even back track to watch missed videos...keep it up wish could win some knives....love from singapore🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬
Great episode,keep them coming please
You guys are nuts! Love the video! I subscribed 😂
I can NOT believe we’re not talking about that A-1 pun at 5:45. “When I’m fishing, I always say, ‘Catch less trout/Les Stroud.’” Like COME ON!!! That was pun comedy PLATINUM.
I had this one in my hand at my knife shop and ended up going with the Utvaer instead (I wanted a big hefty pretty knife, not necessarily the best of the best). 14c27 instead of 28, not sure how much of a difference that makes, but it was specifically the handle geometry that convinced me: it doesn't have that little weak spot where the tang enters the handle. It has a rounded spine, though, so it can't spark a steel. I've been pondering grinding it square.
Mooi stukje van die Garberg “lekker sletje”😂😂😂
I like the knife! It can do what it has to do! And it looks great! Best regards from Oldenburg!/Germany! Jörg
Is the FOX MR 104 not out yet? Can’t find it online.
Les did baton some drift wood in an episode in the Arctic where he caught char fish.
He also used his knife,the Temagami,to baton some light wood in 10 Days Norway episode.
Yehesss another video😍😍
Mickie made me cry when he said it doesn't have that pork taste. The best thing about pork is the pork taste. It's salty and fatty...yumm.
INSANE giveaway! :o
Please review a CDN Made Grohmann Knife! A CDN Classic. #1 or #3 With Carbon Blade.
Looks like a great knife
Just became a patreon for the first time ever!
Les lives not far from me at all 🔪 🇨🇦 🌲
Cheers mates!
I think if you file the guard on the blade side just a little to re-profile it. its less likely to catch when battening and perhaps wouldn't break
Keep up the great work Boys!
“Catch Les Trout.” 😂😂😂
I like Helle Nying!
Over priced knives, they look nice but I can buy a blank and do my own handle . Also you can buy a Enzo brisa sheath saving a butt ton of cash.
You guys should buy an Brisa blank and do a build with an after market sheath . Show folks that you can spend way less and learn while doing so.
I love Brisa blanks best bang for your dollar.
These giveaways are a state-of-the-art value indicator for your channel. Skipping through your video history, it's almost cute how your "amazing and biggest yet" giveaways from, say, three years ago were absolutely mind-blowing at the time, but fast forward to today, and it's just f***ing ridiculous what you're handing out now. You guys have come a long way and have earned every bit of your success. I never would have thought I'd actually tune in every Thursday to watch two cretins complain about wet firewood every odd episode, evaluate the stability of a knife by shooting at it and make dad jokes about fishing less trout - and actually enjoy myself watching that. Good job guys.
Idk man. I’ve never seen anyone in discord post themselves after winning the “giveaways”. I’m not saying the giveaways aren’t real. But I haven’t seen any proof either.
You think they're scamming viewers about the giveaways? We probably would have heard something about that, by now.
@@DrD313 No we wouldn’t. You need to realize it is super easy to fake winners. Make a few fake accounts. Claim they were randomly drawn as the winners or rig the pull system to a number you specify and bam. Giveaway winner. When in reality. The winner is just the content creator. I’ve seen it a dime a dozen times. I’m not saying these guys are for sure doing it. I just find it odd that there doesn’t seem to be any one bragging about winning a giveaway. Not one person. After how many “giveaways”? No photos on discord? It’s fishy is all I’m saying. I hope I’m wrong because I actually like the channel.
What a great description of this channel!! I freaking love these guys. 😂
How do we get inline for the giveaways. My Gf could use a knife or two :p
amazing that it could spark the ferro, I understand that the spine of the laminated steel couldn't due to it not being hard enough but looks like it can!
Reminds me of my BPS adventurer. The big difference my BPS cost $39.
I love mine, I would put it up against a high end knife any day
I discovered this channel because i watch Survivorman Director's Commentary vids here on youtube. He always hawks his merch and this knife. I've always wondered how it holds up.
Dude I have been waiting to see a Helle on here. Beautiful craftsmanship in Helle knives. Although usually not full tang 😢
Try the skookum bushtool. Rob evans makes some great ones
