Please consider visiting Lames de Langres! You'll get to see unique hand made knives from France. Not just knives... they are little pieces of art / jewelery. Their site is not yet online but check back once in a while :)

To split wood with such a small folder you should carve wedges and use those. Felix Immler shows that on his channel 😉

Personally no saw makes it a no go for me, saw is essential for a Victorinox/multi tool. The extra edge retention of the blade doesn't mean 💩 to me. Victorinox farmer in alox is perfection for "bushcraft" the saw makes notching extremely easy, saw to the exact depth & then clear the material with the blade. Or pair the farmer with a larger blade & there's nothing you can't do.

The laugh of a best friend watching his friend make a mistake like stepping in a deep puddle and soaking his shoe is one of the greatest sounds on the planet. You both possess laughter that is music to my ears.

Now you have the sharpness meter, you should test how the sharpness changes after rope cutting, that would be interesting to compare steels

Honestly I’ve never had any of my victorinox blades go dull in a day let alone after a few days of solid work 🤷‍♂️

I have 75 plus knives and Victorinox are still some of my favorites. They are not bushcraft knives, but I always have one in my pocket along with one of my Scandi knives when I’m outdoors. Your videos are pure fun.

ill admit that the victorinox dont hold a edge very long but the fact that you can spend 45 seconds and get it stupid sharp and shaving your face again im not going to complain i use it for a bunch of simple tasks every day at work and the one i have has the saw on it and it works perfect for cutting drywall

I've never minded my Swiss army knives. Easy to sharpen, an touch ups easy. I still own my Swiss. An will keep it till my fingers can't open it.

Don't use folders for batoning guys. Use a wedge-shaped piece of wood or carve one into a wedge and baton that.

See Felix Immler for how to properly baton a SAK. - 1st you make a baton & a splitting wedge 👍. Try it next time 👌 then you can show how to depend on a multi tool for survival .

I love you guys. Your videos have helped me through some tough times and I can’t thank you enough for this.

The best knife is the one you have, so MAYBE the soft Victorinox steel has its place?😅

In regaurds from its usefulness as a knife it seems to trump the victorinox. But far as its function as a multi-tool and ultility i think the victorinox huntsman is unbeatable, i use every tool of my huntsman, its not just a knife every tool on a victorinox has versatility. Putting a fork on whats supposed to be (im assuming due to them using titanium) a lightweight more utilitarian multi-tool is a bit of a red flag to begin with. Its like buying expensive lightweight hiking gear and then carrying bricks in your backpack to build a chair.

After carrying the same victorinox daily for the better part of a decade, my most used tool is the cap lifter. Since it's a 111mm it had a quite beefy caplifter and it's great for prying tasks.

I have never broke my Vic Forester.... and for me the edge retention is aceptable... so one + for Vic. As a multitool, and not for bushcrafting!

Love your channel guys! Thanks for mentioning Ukraine. Every word of support is very important and helpful for us now. Good luck;)

I know M390 has a good edge retention, but is it easy to sharpen ? Because I don't see the point of having extremely hard steel if only a professional can make it sharp again.

I've always seen to start batoning with it on the half mark, then carve a wedge to finish batoning. That way you don't break your tool!

for Victorinox, it would be a Nightmare, to put different Steels on their product line, just because of the numbers they produce, just imagine then this model in that steel and that model in that steel. But I think their steel is not so bad, as it is easy to sharpen, and in all fairness, yo need to sharpen even the best hypersuperduper steel once in awhile.

Well Guys, M390 is too brittle for batoning. It is meant to be hard for keeping the edge by the cost of flexibility, but nice test. Although- poor knife 😥

If you’re going to batton with a knife like this you start it like you did then you use a wooden wedge to split the wood.

A non-locking folder should never be relied upon if given the choice, however they're always a must as a backup

Like your Intro : stop the war stop Putine !

A few years back I purchased a Leatherman Charge made with Titanium and S30V blade for my daughter and myself. I think this was a limited run, though I'm not totally sure on that. At one point I did baton with it and while the wood I was using was not wet like what you were working with it did surprising well. Now, I'm not going to make a practice of using it in this way ever again unless it's vital, like end of the world shit, it did prove itself to be strong and durable. I've carried it everyday since, especially on camping trips in the BWCAW ( Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in case you want to google it) Which is some of the more hardcore styles of camping only accessible via Canoe and portaging between lakes with some pretty extreme elevation shifts and hazardous terrain throughout. One never knows what they'll run into so adding a multitool to your EDC is highly recommendable. Hope you two are dry now. 😎 Cheers!!!

Great video! I gotta say I love the variety that you guys have been putting into the videos. The content is always strong, and the variety makes it even more fun to watch!

It’s been a year that I’m waiting for an other version of this knife with others tools.

You two are the best. Thank you for the greatest content on the Internet.

Victorinox will lack only on edge retention, on anything else Victorinox will perform way better!!

Yet again another bit of magic from you two absolute stars might I just add that the touch right at the start on the troubles in the Ukrainian was absolutely beautiful in fact it’s the first I have seen by anyone of the KZfaq channels I follow so much respect lads. Stay safe and healthy till the next one 😉🥃🥃😘👍

What I learned today is that: Bear Grylis says to run full speed to collect tinder, Les Stroud says to collect 5 times what you think you need and MacGuyver is screwed if he has to bushcraft.

Its so nice that society has came so far now that these two Beautiful souls can be open about their orientation and relationship with eachother and still talk about a manly subject like knives without judgment! ❤

Really enjoyed the video! Good choice on the music for this one as well! Love M390, but it's definitely more hard than tough.

In the field a simple pocket V sharpener can in seconds put a hair popping edge on a Victorinox or Case, or Buck knife which is why they are good pocket carry for trips into the forest / bush to fish.

Just ordered the victorinox spirit mx clip multi tool from Dlt trading. Pretty pumped to receive it! Awesome video guys🤠

Hell yeah DBK Thursdays are the best.

I have this knife with Micarta scales & I can’t recommend it highly enough as a camping/hiking/picnic knife but it’s not designed to take DBK levels of abuse.

Angling the handle 90 degrees does nothing for the stress on the pivot. That's only for Svord Peasant like knives where you can grab the extended blade part to open the knife. Batoning is not a task for a folder in general. Cutting wedges is. I have no use for a fork or a corkscrew in the outdoors. Titanium handle scales and better edge retention on the steel could be nice. But as you mention the power of a SAK is that you can put a workable edge back on with some flat stone you find in nature. So for me it's still the SAK with alox handles for the outdoors.

It's a shame victorinox won't upgrade there steel a little because there tool selection is so useful

But would the Victorinox survive this splitting wood test? Better resharp a knive twice then broke it!

As always love the work ya do! As far as MKM vers a Vic.. well I take it for what it is; the MKM is a beautiful and elegant tool suited for a Gent to go on a picnic, dinner, or evening out with his special Gal and can also be a great little EDC for general purpose but until they add options such as a saw. metal file, pliers, etc etc it just doesn't compare all that well. And price per performance at nearly 4 to 5 times the cost between the two for like tooled options or less if you get a Vic with a lot more options I'd rather carry a 4 inch leather strop in my pocket made from a cut up old full grain leather belt(which I do}.

Many thanks. Best regards from Ukraine.

Mikkie, you are the reason why we can’t have nice things.

Just got a Jeff White trade knife. If the quality of his Bush one is as good as the one i got, for 40 dollars, it may just be the best budget knife ! You guys have to check it out !

I've baton plenty of "smaller" pieces of wood with a multitool folded. That wood you used was too large and you were hitting it wrong. I've seen bushcrafters challenging themselves using a multitool for a weekend in the woods and having no problem. It was a fun video but not the baton part was not fair. Prayers for Ukrainian.

How I miss a nice fire in the woods to cook on!! Makes everything taste better!

During my military service I used a big knife mostly for batoning and other "heavy work" and then my old Victorinox gran prix for about everything else. It worked great, but I let it retire afterwards and now use mostly my modified tinker deluxe

I liked the music, as I am a very old man

wow the thin slipjoint knife broke when you batoned it? that's nuts

if you only got a swiss knife for spliting wood you carve small wooden wedge with the knife and you drive them into bigger piece with a baton. make a notche where you want the wood to split and hammer the wedge with the baton along the grain of the disired splited wooden piece

Always fun to watch your video's guys! The only thing about this one is..where you'll find zo'n lekker makreel in a survival situation, you usually don't find wood for a fire, hahaha. Ga zo door heren, wacht elke week weer op de volgende video!

I harry a Victorinox Climber in my pocket every day. Most used tools in order: small knife, bottle opener, scissors.

Really enjoy watching you two jokers! Gday from Australia. :)

Thanks from Ukraine ❤️

Thank you for your support! It means a lot for us!!! From Kyiv, Ukraine. Bedankt voor je ondersteuning! Het betekent veel voor ons!!! Uit Kiev, Oekraïne.

Your videos are entertaining but I think you convince me not to buy things more often than not. If I had to choose between a Victorinox with the same limited tools I would pick the MKM hands down for the blade steel but calling it the best multi tool or fire making or any tool is a stretch. The tool is too limited to call it anything other than a EDC tool for the city. A LOT of Victorinox's knives have tool options like the saw, awl, file that have 90 degree spines and a tool like a Victorinox Huntsmen is going to be way more versatile in the fire making role than a simple EDC tool is.

Thank you guys! A lot!🤘

Thank you guys for your support to Ukraine, it's appreciated a lot!

Hey guys, are you going to test knives from UG Tools in Germany? They have a very nice project by 3D printing Titanium handles. At the moment they are working on a new magnacut knife.

Make “gluts” to split with a folder.

Ironic since I recently got a new Victorinox that’s just a folding knife I just found that irony funny But I do really hope mine doesn’t share the same fate as what happened about 8 1/2 minutes in

My victorinox went dull just by watching you scrape that tree

A dull knife is better than a broken knife

I wonder what you'd think about Aitor(Spain) victorinox style multitools with locking mechanism... look for Aitor escape bloqueo see if you like it.

You guys need to test the Templar-Knives Raptor. It's a beautiful knife made in the Netherlands by custom blacksmith Andrew Jordan

The thickness shall break in batoning But Victorinox multitools are must go item even in ww3

I am a Swiss guy with his Victorinox in bis pockets always. Not sure if I am going to like, but give it a try

Great Video guys. I have carried a Victorinox since I was 10 years old. (I won't say how long ago that was but I still have my first one and that model hasn't been made for decades. I currently carry the 1 handed Trecker. (Actually the German Army issue version.) as well as the Swiss Tool Spirit X. They are my E.D.C. and when I'm camping I carry a larger fixed blade. (Usually a Condor Bushlore.) Now I know these knives don't have the best Steel in the World but I carry them for a reason. I can easily sharpen them in the Field. Now that being said I also carry a full sized Saw. (A folding Buck Saw I made.) as well as a Camp Axe. I don't mind carrying the extra weight even on longer hike. It's worth it. (I'm no Putin. I'm not strong like Bull**************************shit.)

You should make a video where you test different pocket knife sharpeners. In my backpack I always carry one from Lansky (the Quick Fix Pocket Sharpener), it's small and light and works well for me. But then again I don't abuse my knives like you guys do... It would be interesting to see if there's a better alternative since it's the only one I own or used so far.

Böker plus tech or ruike are also better then victorinox. Although I love victorinox, I prefer my böker

That's a good looking fish

Hi DBK, please can you review these 2 knives, the Bark River Bravo 1 Hunter LT and the Bark River Gunny Hunter LT, with Magnacut blade steel, these are not yet available in Magnacut yet, but if your viewers contact DLT trading and Knives Ship Free and also Knives and Tools, then these will be put into production, if the request is also for Pre-Order on these then one gets to choose handle material and color, pins and liners. these are ideal bushcraft-survival-hunting knives, let us hurry with this before the war gets crazy and prices shoot up or just become unavailable.

try out a new ASKknifes Jefferson made out of Magnacut steel, not the s45vn version. That thing is a modular overbuilt SAK. not a lot of tool at this moment but more's coming up

Great video.... You're a good friend Martin 👍

Guys please do a review or test on the Schnitzel Tri.. I really think you will like it and it is mad cheap for its build quality! Love your videos! Very entertaining content and love the humor! Keep up the good work mates.. ✌️

Boys chompin' on one of them deep forest mackerel-hitters. Yum.

This might be my favorite video y'all have made. From the touching shoutout to Ukraine 🇺🇦 to that epic fish cookout, extremely well done.

Tot aflevering !!

Victorinox has a soft steel blade? Compared to what? M390 is steel made for professional tools which swiss pocket knife by no means it is not.

Try batoning with that Victorinox, will it break or bend? Oh, and test Leatherman multitool blade allso!

Knife .. what knife .. I'm impressed with Mikeys guitar skills .. he's getting much better .. next stop .. Dave mustane level

Well I am not Dutch but I love the smoked mackerel. But your weather has made me understand why the Dutch have never won a World Cup. They need a flooded paddock. Great review and good luck next World Cup

So nice , and incredible for the size!

You are awesome guys 💙💛

Ditch the fork and cork bottle opener add a saw and I'm sold.

Loved it thanx!!! Texas loves you boys!

Cool, but it is over 8 times more expensive than a Victorinox with the same amount of functions...

You should watch felix immler what he does with a sak! He shows that you can do literally everything with a multitool from victorinox.

I put a 👍 even if i’ve not watched the video yet!

Question is have you gone back to a victorinox for your edc pocket knife or stuck with this.

You should try a leatherman multi tool. They are supposed to be very good.

I really hope the replace or repair for you! I've been thinking about getting one of these myself.

Awesome vid again dudes! When are you guys testing the Helle Utvaer?!

Love the Les Stroud reference.

Thank you for the support of the whole world, we really really need and we receive help from you against the aggressor Russia. Hello from Ukraine:)!! Дякую!!!

I like the idea of M390, but the tools like like the junk knockoff SAKs that you get at a gas station or something

wow that fished looked so good.

Have you guys done a video on Mercator yet? I very much like it as a backup to a belt knife. I typically run with an Esee 6, old boker carbon steel camp knife and my carbons steel Mercator K55K.

Another great video. Never borimg

I would like to see some videos about some traditional Folders. Like the Buck 110 Folding Hunter PRO, Fällkniven (PXLx, FH9BH, RL1ey) or the Böker Scout.. i really like these kind of knives and carry them every second with me. I think there are many people who cant enjoy these military looking edc knives
