Sharpest knife in the world! NEW record! 

DBK has made Thursday a much more interesting day than it use to be.

My Favorite knife channel on RU-vid

I agree totally. It's fun but is not for use. But this video show for sure the sharpening ability of mikey

Really great vid guys! And the "neeeeej " was the best! Greetings from Sweden👊🏻👍🏻🇸🇪🇺🇦

hi guys! Its the little kiddo with the guitar and after a years brake in knives im back in it!!!

You guys are great! Your true expertise is absolutely wrecking stuff. You made a razor edge then trashed it. Sharpening is a skill that’s difficult to acquire. Some of the harder steels makes it harder still. Love you guys! 😊

"Not as thick as my Momma." That made me laugh.

I like all the guys that use the Testing wire.... its easy to spot the guys who don't know.... But if they are consistent... then its a gauge for them i suppose... Nice vid!

Everyone always gives me so much crap. For carrying so many different knives. It’s because I carry them for their specific purpose. There is no one perfect knife. There is the implement best suited/suited well enough but can also accomplish a couple other things. Or an overall utility. Then you have a beater. And then you have your food prep. Then you have your woodworking. And so on!

I'd like to see an incredibly thin blade made of something like Z-Tuff. Wonder how that would hold up.

Nice.

DBK Thursday... Hurra! 🤘

It's very sharp until the chickens get to it.

Deba’s aren’t chefs knives. I’ve had stores basically refuse to sell me one.

Damn, they still had 3 payments on that egg

Here is some fun trivia for you. The blade you tested, Derby Extra, are considered a “mild” blade, meaning they are less sharp. They are considered one of the mildest of the higher quality manufacturers. I have seen tests putting them in the mid 40’s on that sharpness tester. Feather blades of Japan are one of the sharpest (aggressive) blades, and has been tested to score in the mid 20’s on the same sharpness tester.

You guys are funny!! 🇳🇱 🇳🇿

Just when you think things are starting to look professional, Maarten steps in a bucket of water ... NEVER CHANGE !!!

That was cool as fuck!!!!! Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!😆

Seeing you cut this phonebook paper standing with such ease made me shiver with pleasure! This is crazy

It makes perfect sense it can get that low as Shirogami is a pure carbon steel with no alloys, it doesn't hold an edge for the longest time, but it's easy to sharpen and takes a mean edge (as shown in the video) Now we need to see a Yanagiba (single bevel) tested, also in Shirogami (1 or 2) of course

It's always disappointing when I sharpen my kitchen knives and then I see my wife using them on our granite countertops 🙃 I'm still waiting for the DBK cutting board! Then she won't have any excuses 😉

Awesome sharpness on that! I have the exact same stones but I rarely go over the 5k stone. My 12k stone has no real practical use, it's just for seeing how sharp I can go when I feel like.

Now you can tell murray carter you completed the challenge...he'd always say "I dare you to make a knife to thin" love those videos

For most uses, a blade edge can't be too polished, but it can have too narrow of an angle, which makes the edge fragile whether it is polished sharp or not. I put an edge on an Opinel #8 that would "treetop" - which means it would cut the hair on my arm moving through the hair and not touching my skin at all. It would shave a hair down it's length, just like a feather stick. But after I used it for just a few minor tasks, it was no better than usual - no damage like this, just no longer hair-splitting sharp. Use the right edge for the job. Anyone else disappointed that they did not shave with the knife? I mean, that's what that edge would be good for, just like the razor.

It's possible to sharpen any carbon steel low/mid 60s to match a razor. That's what straight razors actually are. when you do sharpness tests, you have to confirm that the blades are holding the edge - it's not so much sharpness as it is resisting deformation, too. For straight razors, we typically sharpen them with anything that will leave a defect free edge and then use linen and leather to condition the very tip so that the edge holds up despite the 16-18 degree bevel. Not that everyone does that - some people have lost the whole concept and go after a straight razor over and over with oxides, etc, and complain about the edge transience. Too, cutting as a razor isn't just about being as sharp as possible, it's about being between the sharpness of easily shaving hair, but not cutting the skin that's propped up on the back of a pore.

Pretty fun stuff! My friend's mom hada a glass cutting board, abd as the son of a machinist I couldn't use it without the fingernails-on-a-chalkboard feeling

I am sorry, but it seems that you have created and straightened a burr on the edge and that's why it was so weak . Before making such a videos take a microscope at least 80x and show the edge after your sharpening. It will be much more informative for you and for a viewers if you want to do such a tests. Thanks for your content!

*Making money is an action. Keeping money is a behavior, but "Growing money is wisdom" I heard this from someone* 💯,,,.. .

Wow that is crazy sharp! The only knife I've actually tried to get as sharp as possible was an Opinel that hit a score of 75. After testing it out on an apple the score was 140.. So glad I didn't try it on an egg! Of course the much softer steel wouldn't probably have chipped that bad, though. Great stuff as always from you guys, thanks!

I don't think the knife is technically too sharp, but I think the edge angle was too acute. Not sure if there is an agreed upon vernacular for this but I feel like it should be differentiated between the two

You should do the scarf scene from the body guard. Is it even possible?

This video was so annoying. CUT SOMETHING FFS

If im not mistaken ur using a Canon C70, the buffer problem comes from using to inferior SD cards, cards like Lexar , Sandisk etc have known issues with this, most people including myself go with Angelbird or the most high performing one, Sony Tough V90. I also see thats ur having the same problem as me with grabbing focus in low light situations, hence why i got rid of mine, sad to have that issue in such an amazing camera otherwise.

That’s impressive free handing a knife that sharp

My previous joke comment aside, this a worthy video & is a great lesson/demonstration on diminishing returns, and why certain knives & edged weapons have different edge geometries. The primary usage is what should determine the edge. Cheers lads.

Another good video boys! I enjoyed the change up in format. Also, love and respect to Maarten’s mother, may she rest in peace.

I feel I need to go and sharpen my kitchen knives now

Excellent video guys, insanely sharp but your bang on, too sharp is a thing. In the kitchen your right about glass chopping boards, even worse is when i see my knife being used to cut food on a dining plate!

Love the designer beard marrten looking great peace and love from 1 leg UK England.PS Mikey b looks good too

It’s not so much that it’s too sharp the edge is too thin.

Maaarteeen, just wanted to let you know that you remind me of a character in the movie Boogie Nights. No, not Mark Wahlberg but a guy playing a student in school that picks on the character Roller Girl. He looks back at her in class and says something to her under his breath while making specific gestures. You should check it out, it's a good movie.

0:53 Lol dude. You don't say "Not as thick as my mom"... Lol It's "Not as thick as YOUR mom" That's funny though

Haha, man maakt gewoon een je moeder grap over zichzelf

When the hype man is also the talent. good job guys.

I make my own strops using less than 1mm thick kangaroo leather on planes hardwood like oak, walnut, and poplar. There’s less chance of rounding the edge with the thin leather. Also the DBK stroppy stuff 4 micron is the 💣 bomb. It’s now my favourite stropping compound. I use it daily on my wood carving tools.

Martin sounds like Arnold Swartsenegar, or how ever you spell his name, sometimes, like when he's doing pushups.

Nice job on the edge, but that was probably way too low a sharpening angle to have any edge durability. That's also why it took you so long on the 400 grit. Anyway, sub 30 Bess scores are very possible with good steel, good sharpening, and careful stropping. That white steel probably needs at least 8 or 9 degrees per side to not chip though! Lol

Hello boys, at it again I see. This was awesome. Dutch Bushcraft Knives matter.👍👍

A few shave with a razer blade and it's blunt! That's why you can't have a knife too sharp🇬🇧🇧🇩👍👌🍺🍺🍺

can i have the broken whetstone...? i got obsessed a while back (tbch, not exactly sure why) spending ~ a year looking for the most resilient metal and heat treatment that would retain an edge for an edc the longest... about forever-and-a-day into my mind-numbing trials and research, i finally settled on the fact that nothing was going to come close to simply changing out a new razor blade. within seconds of use, a razor's going to be consistently sharper, more resillient, cleaner AND CHEAPER than anything out there. and forget hours of sharpening. there are (a surprising VERY few) full-shaped snap-in-blade knife systems out there that one can purchase to just exchange when dull. i forget the brand names. I always dreamed that my ultimate knife would somehow be this snap-in razor variant mixed with a cheap and reliable otf setup (something like a Lightning OTF). If this type of knife does exist, it ain't for below $5000 and would prob be custom. But I dont think it's even available as a custom order. Seems easy to make tho! just take two steel rods right next to each other that the back of razors would slide onto and one capstone razor that would screw-twist over (tightening the play in the other razors) and click onto the point to make a three-piece dual-sided dagger otf that would shoot out! perfection! tac, edc, banger, and everything in one that you would be able to change out, take apart, clean, etc. for like a hundred bucks that would rival anything.

Impressed by the level of sharpness you got there. As you mentioned I don’t think it”s of any practical use or difference for the regular guy in the kitchen. Maybe a professional sushi chef? With that extreme sharpness, it’d be interesting to see you check the sharpness after only dicing ONE onion with “normal” pressure against your wood cutting board. So. Do. It. Again. 😂

Unless you want a pretty polished bevel going above 2000 grit stones is a waste of time, a good strop with great polishing compound will take the blade to the next level better than any stone.

Yes a knife can be two sharp. Just washing the sharp knife will dual it. You'll spend way to much time keeping the knife sharp. They are fun to play with until you cut yourself. They you will walk around yelling at everyone around you because your the is Idiot who cut himself with the knife. Also it's like handing over a loaded gun. Handing a razor sharp knife over to someone that you No that there going to cut themselves and dual the blade. Either way your going to see some blood. Every time I hand over a newly sharpened knifes to my girlfriend. She always cuts herself bad. I would never ever ever sharpen a house knife. To sharp ever again. Just so it doesn't hurt anyone that doesn't respect knifes.

Cool video! 😀 But i think there is a difference in slicing capability and sharpness. If a super thin high HRC knife gets to hit anything sturdy it is prone to chip. So if it comes to outdoors use i wouldn‘t recommend a certain „sharpness value“, i would rather say this: Don‘t go under 3,5mm spine thickness, keep the sharpening angle at 17 degrees or above and use a knife with an HRC between 56 to a maximum of 60. Then you can sharpen the knife till it will look completely even under the microscope, the sharpness quality can still be amazing! 😁 The reason that the kitchen knife and the razor cut so well through the wire is that they are both very thin, so extremely slicy. In my opinion this electronic testing device will be nice to test a kitchen knife with the downside that it can only test a very small part of the edge which is the thickness of the wire itself. So my testing goes as this: Kitchen knives: Phone book paper Folding knives: regular paper and phone book paper Outdoor and survival knives: regular paper Scandivex knives (e.g. Gunny Scandi): feather stick test and regular paper. If you read the whole comment: Amazing!! YOU are very sturdy! Here goes your reward! 🤩 Take this knife: 🔪

You must love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. You must love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus the Anointed is Lord! Repent and be baptized and believe the Evangelism.

Dude I would love to win that TRC. Not as much as the DBK knife but that's a given.

That´s kinda hell. If you cut yourself with this, you reach the bone in no time. Anyways, impressive sharpening job :)

Whenever someone says a knife is "razor sharp" I assume utility razor is the benchmark we're talking about.

8:51 “I DID IT!!“ “Boom“ “I DID IT!!“ “Boom“

Hi could I ask you a question what are the knife laws in your country on flippers in England customs confiscated a knife from me and sent a police man to my door saying I had illegally imported a flick knife into England a switch blade and yet if you Google uk knife sellers you can buy a flipper no problem so are customs breaking the law or are the knife sellers breaking the law??what is happening double standards or what

Bench mounted sharpening stones are 100% obsolete for sharpening hand held blades! Grinding blades on bench stones is a cool expression of artistic skill but that's their only "practical" purpose.

Would you consider a traditional Straight Razer a knife? If not, then why not? What if you mounted the blade into a solid handle rather then the split one that allows it to fold? "Can a knife be too sharp" it all depends on the intended task which is the reason for a proper tool for the job. A knife is a Tool.. Great video though!

It's always raining over there...at least every time was there. Stainless or any decent corrosion resistant steel is a must-have in that place - as long as it can hold an edge - or build a new survival knife out of pure Tungsten Carbide... I tried it, and it works (Titanium is too soft).

one tool for one job, you don't want razor sharp thin blades for outdoor, but you want them in the kitchen for cutting. i love my Hōchōs in the kitchen and my moras/hultafors in the wild.

have you guys, or would you guys please full test ANY knife in "OU-31" ! (tho treasures preferably Kiku)

At the risk of sounding, umm, inappropriate, this video is making me….turgid.🤤 Thanks for another amazing sharpening video!!!

There is NO REASON why someone should sharpen for that sharpness, it will dull very quick. No cheff do that

Wow, thats sharp!!!! Be carefull that you don’t split an atom with it by accident!! The half of Holland could be gone….

If you do a Yanagi, when you get it really sharp, take your nail and run it along the edge on the hollow side, you will see the steel bend to your nail, it's that thin!

Mikky thinned the blade WAY too much for RC64. Nothing on the sides to support the brittle, hard, thin core.

Egg shells are basically a rock. You can put as sharp and acute of an edge as you want, but that just makes it weaker and quicker to dull. Test a straight razor. Maarten needs a shave

don't conflate acuteness of the bevel angle with sharpness at the edge. Unfortunately, "sharpness" will largely depend on the test media material and the test material geometry, and how the length scales of the media compares with the length scales of the bevel, thickness behind the edge, and the radius of curvature of the edge itself.

Have you guys seen the new Survival Lilly knife? Looks like a Tracker greetings from Deutschland

I’m an OCD victim. I can NEVER get my knives SHARP enough.

He's using the turtle hermit School of sharpening those of you who get it get it I'm not explaining the joke

I finish my kitchen knives on 1200 diamond, then a ceramic rod and strope. They cut like a hot knife thru butter!

Its funny but my go to kitchen knife is a cheap Fiskars stainless that I hone on the edge of the stainless sink. Crude but gives you all the sharpness needed 🤷‍♂️

Would have been cool to see the razor and knife edges under a microscope. We could have seen the result of stropping, for example. Just an idea.

Guy on tiktok makes knives that take 4g of weight 😅 splitting atoms ahaha! Called burrbenders

What kind of a sheath would work the best with a razor sharp knife? If you had to carry this with you and for it to move around without rubbing it's edge off on the inside of the sheath

Her: "He's probably out talking to other women right now" Him: "oOoHhHhHhhh fIfty tWoOoOoOoooooo"

Check out dulo knives, they Have knife called dbk in their offer, albo dbk small. Just saying

I sharp my EDC outdoor knives for 3000 final grit and then stroping. It is ideal, I think.

I was listening to the Wodan Boys on iTunes. one of the songs really reminded me of The Pixies. great song 👍

Fucking Fantastic…….🙃

That a nice sharpen for a chefs knife or kitchen knife , but not so much for a bushcraft knife , just because if you get a bushcraft knife that sharp , the edge of the knife is just going to roll over one itself , just to soft of a edge but really nice .

I can appreciate a nice polished blade but I do guess here are limits and you've just proved it's not good to over sharpen anything..

One day DBK will make it so sharp they will cause nuclear explosion from the knife splitting atoms

Time for a Sony gents, that autofocus was KILLIN ME good vid though :D

Not going to lie I've done the tomato test with my swords and a lot of them if not all of them that I've done it with have passed

please turn down the auto focus correction, or maybe figure out if the sensor/lense is dirty. the volume this is going out of focus is not normal

Thanks, as always for an entertaining and informative video. What's the name of the sharpness measurement tool?

-6 Grams! I had no idea you bois had a lightsaber!! How can we mere mortals order one? ;)

Fun fact: 3:56 Micki B was playing with the black pieces and got mated in 4 moves

This was a fun video but the over reactions are cliche.

I want to know the brand of pants that Martin wears. They look super comfortable and great for outdoor use

that's fucking mental. how sharp? 😮 grape frisbee 🤣

Great example why you don't want you knife to dam sharp. lol naaaaaaaah

i love how the dude whoever played chess last got scholar's mated 😭💀💀
