Dutch Bushcraft knives a
YouTube channel founded by two of the world's ugliest Bush crafters
Their channel was inspired by people like virtuovice
David Attenborough, yes Dutch Bushcraft knives certainly knows what's going on, but maybe most of all
Ray Mears
A good way to show you how to use the knife is to make something that we have to do on a regular basis
To make the points I'm using the forehand grip which gives a lot of power
If I have to pass the knife to anybody else, which is rare because we don't very often lend a knife
It's the quickest way to lose a friend is to the lend them a knife and have the knife come back
Looking like the edge of a saw
Good god
What a knife
That same knife would prove to be almost unobtainable for the next couple years
until
That fateful day
Where Martin's father-in-law bought it and lend it out to Martin to check it out
I'm Ray Mears. Welcome to extreme survival
Ladies and gentlemen, please join our royal knife club to join our giveaway
We're giving away four knives two folders the Freeks and the bloody cool Fallknivens. Oh, yes joined
Oh man, it's the Ray Mears knife. Whoa, it is probably
The knife that started this all for us. Yeah and
The previous maker died Mikkie but we I've always wanted that very Mears Bushlore knife
Yeah, because we thought that this would be the ultimate bushcraft knife. This was
Probably the best knife that existed on planet earth
So we're gonna put it through a couple of tests to see if Ray Mears is coming. Y'all people
Yeah, because we don't want anybody of this whole knife community to be scams by nobody
Our aim is we're not backing off of your money made Kings my friends
No, no
We just want to see if this guy is ripping you off. Yes as we are with our workshop
Mikkie Ray Mears was actually one of our heroes that actually started probably this channel. Yeah
I mean we looked up see that man. The first test is gonna be a test inspired by him the legend himself the legend himself
Don't say it. Three two one
faster
Want a bleak but stunningly beautiful place
Whenever I travel in wilderness, I always have my knife to hand because with this tool I can make life possible
Marvelous day, I will now show you how to feather a stick of wood
Ego the us are used to ignite. The fire is called a fire steel
Nothing
Somehow Martin lost Ray Mears has voice forever to make the edits for Mikkie be a lot easier
One of the most enjoyable things about bushcraft is cooking and because it's bushcraft you can take little more equipment than usual into the forest
Alright, let's see
All right, let's make a real outdoor meal, let's see how good this knife is for
Food prepping. I want to introduce you to one of my favorite outdoor meals a nice burger filled with
spring itself
Look at that knife it cuts away of that tomato straight out of the box onions. No problem as well
chop chop chop away it goes
This is the Fargas sylvatica known by less intellectual people as the beech
the freshly sprouted green leaves are a delicacy on
every wild salad
So fresh
So green
So delicious
*Moans in Dutch*
Ahhh
I'm Ray Mears
ahhhh
Alright let's try it out
Hmm
This is really actually really good except for the for the beach leaves. Mikkie: The only thing that's actually bush craft.
This ladies and gentlemen, we all know that this is just basically a scandi knife, you know
And a Scandi grind is gonna carve well, so here you can see me carving. That lovely
lovely tent peg. Whoa. Look at him go,  look at Mikkie go. See I told you I was a bushcrafter
Music
Oh, Mikkie
It's just regular O12 steel - I know right? So how long is this knife going to keep its edge. Let's test out that edge retention and theres only one
test that can test it out, rope testing
This is probably the part of the video where everybody's gonna turn it off
Music
WHAT?
Bush tucker
Damn fool
We finally had the chance
To experience the knife of the legend
Ray Mears himself
Ladies and gentlemen can we rappel first, please. Check out our Royal Knife Club we are giving away two Benchmade Freeks two Fallkniven SK2's. There are two winners

Thank you all new patreon troll. Whoa. Well, thank you so much
Show do some frozen cones. Yeah, let's do it
It is very nicely made. It has a taper tang. Very crafty. It comes very sharp almost with very polished
Probably one of the sharpest knife that we get out of the books. Oh one still very easy to sharpen Mickey two spiders
Okay, the handle is comfortable now
Let's go to the cons the cons ladies and gentlemen
We are convinced that this is absolutely not the knife. Did you wanna buy? Yeah
We've got a solid smokers. The spine is no fairy shop and shop
It's not like the best of the best
Yeah, the handle is a little small because look listen, I suppose we are glove cypher phone
so if you have big heads might not be the night for you know, the grind starts off very
Like this is the probably the part where you have most control over yeah, and it doesn't have a sharpening coil
Yeah, which makes it hard to sharpen that that fair we first start off the edge
Yeah, but then but then ladies and gentlemen something that boggles our minds we come Allison agreements
Does this it is selling an old one?
Yes, so you knife probably one of the cheapest to secure yet. Yep for
450 pounds that were in dollars that is
Five hundred dollars so Mickey if I could place this life in a price category. Yeah, it's handmade. Okay. Okay, the
Same time what we don't okay, three two, well
I can say this is a collector's item Mickey you pay for the collectors worth. It's a good knife. Yeah, but the price
