Dutch Bushcraft Knives anytime!

I wonder is sleipner good. I like this knive

@@jimlahey5623 sleipner is a great steel. Very similar chemical content as 3v only 3v is powdered and sleipner is a plain ingot steel. But that doesn't bother me one bit. Knives and swords were never made out of powdered steel and they performed well for centuries. Yes powdered steel does produce a finer grained more even structure but i think the advantages of powdered steels (or super steels as they have now become ridiculously called) are over estimated and it has led many ppl into thinking any steel that isn't powdered must be garbage. But that is just a retarded steel snobs view. Sleipner steel will be just fine for almost any purpose you have for it. It takes a great edge and holds it a long time and isn't crazy hard to sharpen, it is super tough, and it has a degree of corrosion resistance. It's a very well balanced steel and one if not my favourite steel. I have knives with s35vn, 154cm, 14c28n, Elmax and 1095. And sleipner is by far my favourite. It's obviously a subjective issue but for me personally I love the steel and can't fault it.

thanks a lot mate!

Haha, this video actually marks our start in getting more professional 💪 thank you so much for your kind words

@DutchBushcraftKnives Well you've certainly upped the game 🎮 😀. Still, Inappreciate tje rawness of the OG DutchKraftz 😊😄

you are very welcome!

danke!

Because if you were downed behind enemy lines, you probably wouldn't be batoning the crap out of stuff and making a fire.

There is still survival classes that involve living off the land. Its not all about downed behind enemy lines you fool.

My cousin joined the air force and I joined the Marines He won’t even talk military stuff around me lol

Gaz Pyrotechnics i’ve heard that the sleipner steel is very easy to rust stain? is it as bad as i’ve read on this steel?

+Magnus Karlsson thanks a lot Magnus. Stainless vs Carbon is a good discussion point but also kinda hard. With modern stainless steels the cons of stainless are becoming less and less in comparison to carbon. I'm personally not seeing any benefits from carbon anymore like how easy it is to sharpen. Or how long the edge will hold. I think we got it partially covered in an upcoming knife talk video.

thanks a lot Mike!

thanks a lot Moys! we appreciate the comment!

Darren Turner how about edge holding?

Excellent. I use a loaded strop after every outing and it holds a good edge. I never let it get dull.

thanks a lot Gerald!

Dutch Bushcraft Knives, While tactical might not be your usual thing. I highly suggest looking into the DPX Heft series as well.

thanks micky!

haha for sure Nick! I really enjoyed this. Thanks a lot!

thanks Chris!

In the old days (before survival bracelets) we replaced our bootlaces with para cord which could also be used for ascending a climbing rope but that's a story for another day.

I've thought about doing that on my military boots as well. I think I heard Dave Canterbury about it some years ago. But I always have paracord with me so I forgot about it. Next step is using stinging nettles to make cordage haha but that's one hell of a job and not that fail proof. Thanks a lot Howard!

I don't know if dogbane (Apocynum cannabinum) is endemic to where you are, but it makes great cordage.

haha I know. We just aim to give serious information in a fun way! I don't think you need to be too serious to share good information. Enjoy life! thanks a lot Morten!

Hey, you might be seeing casstrom in 2017 on our channel. I've been looking at them for a while now. The m7 might come also eventually but I first need a niolox as well! The second hole can be used to blow in without melting your face and you can even use it to feed twigs to the fire. Later in the evening we made a roof over the fire and made a third hole. We had a fire completely submerged into the ground which was pretty awesome. Sadly it was to dark to film. I also guess the hole from the side makes a more efficient way of sucking in oxigen. The air in the side hole is cool so the air doesn't rise because of the heat creating a suction to the fire. It's a bit like a fire stove that has holes in the side to suck in oxigen. I also have to say that you could make way better dakota fire pits than I did here. I've seen people make them in a more clay-ish ground that looked so darn satisfying.

thanks a lot!

Lionsteel m5 must compare vs Lionsteel T5 Nilolox steel..its up to you guys!!!

A1 Falkniven

haha they are awesome but they do stink haha. This was a wild hedgehog. it's illegal to own a regular hedgehog here. There is a type of hedgehog which is white that is legal to own. However, I do prefer them in the wild.

+Dutch Bushcraft Knives I just bought a Boker Plus Vox Rold with the satin finish, it's a similar knife to this but a terrible sheath. If I get a second one I'll get the black coating too.

seattwa that relates to a hedge hog how...

+Rough Rooster Knife Sharpening How does a hedgehog relate to a knife review/test video?

+Keith A. Thanks a lot Keith!

I was amazed with the fire 🔥 making and I learned what a Dakota fire pit was.

Super bedankt! leuk om te horen. Fijn weekend!

Dankje, jullie ook!

Dutch Bushcraft Knives, Bevalt die jas trouwens die je aan hebt? is een softshell zo te zien? Ben ook nog op zoek naar zoiets, heb je misschien een link daarvan? Nogmaals bedankt!

Hey! Dit is de Pinewood Jupiter www.pinewood.eu/nl/producten/outdoor/jassen/jacket-pinewood-jupter Zeer populaire jas in zweden en ik zelf ben er ook dik tevreden mee. Het is geen softshell. De jas is niet te dik en daarom goed toe te passen op het laagjesprincipe. Deze week 3x flink door de regen gefietst 10km en compleet droog gebleven. Ik ben echt super tevreden met deze jas. Als je interesse hebt kan je hem bestellen via bushcraftshop.nl . Als je daar dan nog vermeld dat je via DBK komt is dat helemaal te gek haha. Ik ben van plan nog veel meer van pinewood aan te schaffen. Zeer degelijk merk en een heel stuk goedkoper dan fjallraven terwijl ik het niet vind onderdoen.

Bedankt voor je snelle reactie! Klinkt goed allemaal, zag hem zo op de site niet zo snel staan. Maar misschien kunnen ze hem evengoed nog wel leveren. Kwa maatvoering kan je dan, ook als je er idd bijvoorbeeld nog een fleece onder aan wilt gewoon je eigen maat nemen? of is het dan wijs om hem een maat groter te bestellen? Sorrie voor de vragen stortvloed, mag ook via pm verder eventueel :)

you are very welcome!

Sleipner is definitely the better steel. I also prefer the knife without swedge. The t5 is more tactical version of the M5 making it less suitable for outdoor tasks

As a sucker for edge retentions I would opt for m390 if I could. The sleipner did really surprise me with how easy it was to sharpen even at 61 HRC. it's a great and well balanced steel. I think sleipner would be the better steel for larger blades. M390 is still on the nomination lists for becoming my favourite steel though.

Dutch Bushcraft Knives thank you for the response. I appreciate your opinion and time.

you are very welcome!

+TXLionHeart thanks a lot ! We appreciate the compliment!

haha thanks mate. knife handles are like shoes. it might be comfortable for one but not good for the other.

That´s right! You have both M4 and M5 right? Could you please let me know, if the handle of M4 are thicker than M5 handle? Or does it feels thicker/rounder? Thank you very much

The maximum thickness of the M4 handle is only ~1 mm less (2.1 mm vs 2.2 mm), compared to the M5. But it is a little bit shorter (approx. 5mm; only the space between preformed G10 finger trays; 108 mm vs 11.9 mm total G10 length). The height is also about 10 mm less (22 mm vs 33 mm). Short conclusion: M4 fits perfect in hands with glove size 9.5. M5 up to 10 without problems.

Thanks a lot! So it should feel more ´rounder´ in the hand than M5. I think i should give it a try

I can recommend! cheers!

+Michael Mac Donald we have thought about it but it would crack our mind hahaha.

Of course- I should of realised that by now :)
