I always enjoy DBK's videos... they're fabulously stupid and sometimes very funny.
For some reason they're totally into fixed blade knives, so everything they get their hands on gets the fixed blade treatment. Obviously this is a terrible idea, particularly with a tiddly little Victorinox!

Anyway, I would take them for their comedy value rather than as serious critics. They make a nice change from incredibly tedious guys sitting in their cellars, pontificating over their latest Spyderco and how well it whittles human hair. Which we all do, right!

I don't think the Dutch were ever Vikings, by the way...

Andetto--

Yes, you are right!

These guys are using the knife out of context, out of it's design intentions. But I think they know that they are 'misusing' a trusty old Vic SAK.

I carried a Vic Farmer in combat conditions: it was fantastic to have along! My most used knife! And it never let me down.  :tu:

However, I think these guys are just having fun. In the end, they express their appreciation for the SAK as a 'pocket knife'. And I agree!  As a pocket knife the Vic is great. As a machete....well...someone give me a bottle of wine to open.....  :rofl:

There's a sign above my desk--it reads "CAN'T FIX STUPID".

I admit, I treat my Mora Basic pretty poorly, and have batonned it through stuff when I forgot my saw--"because it's just an eight dollar knife". But, the steel Mora chooses, even on this sub-$10 knife is tough. And, it's a fixed blade. 99% of the time, it's just a knife, which is what it's intended to do--CUT. There's usually a hatchet and/or chainsaw within quick reach for cutting and splitting of smaller logs. WHen in the woods, the bag my cut-protective chaps, gloves ,and safety glasses are stored in has a lockback hunting knife inside, and a Estwing hatchet strapped to the top. If I need to split, I typically use the back of my hatchet and a plastic felling wedge (also in the bag).

Striking the back of a folding blade isn't very smart, regardless of whether it locks or not.  I actually paid attention to, and lived by, what my Totin' Chip taught me in Scouts (like rest your index finger on the spine, not the handle--as at the time, Granddad really only allowed me use of lockbacks when in the outdoors).

I am not too sure they are using the SAK out of context, or (pretend) not knowing how to properly use a slipjoint/SAK blade.  Surely fixed blade is very desirable for outdoor task, but more often than not, the little SAK can also do many camping task more efficiently and safely than even a large fixed blade(such as drilling small holes/sawing/filing/can opening/etc).

Anyone whom have watched Felix Immler would have learnt a trick or two about how to use a SAK or slipjoint for 'bushcrafting', and that little red tool can really do wonder, only if you know how to use it properly.

The video's okay, I guess, though I'm not sure they're painting a particularly universal picture of what bushcraft looks like. Whatever floats their boat, I guess

 I know from substantial personal experience that a SAK can survive unholy amounts of work, provided you use your big kid brain. Your brain is the most important piece of that puzzle.

Andetto--

Yes, you are right!

These guys are using the knife out of context, out of it's design intentions. But I think they know that they are 'misusing' a trusty old Vic SAK.

I carried a Vic Farmer in combat conditions: it was fantastic to have along! My most used knife! And it never let me down.  :tu:

However, I think these guys are just having fun. In the end, they express their appreciation for the SAK as a 'pocket knife'. And I agree!  As a pocket knife the Vic is great. As a machete....well...someone give me a bottle of wine to open.....  :rofl:

Nix

I understand that they meant to be funny and at the end they said they admire Victorinox. But I cant bear the idea of taking lightly the great reputation of victorinox, they have put decades of hard work, upgrades, modifications, .....etc. into this iconic tool.

If they had put scientific reasons I would have respected that. But obviously they dont know how to use it or pretend they cant use it right. I believe if any tool, put in the right hands, can do great projects.

As Mr.Ilmer, one can innovate many uses for a particular blade, other than what it was designed for.

Victorinox is not just a pocket knife, its history, art, craftsmanship, precision, heritage & memories.

... still, it's merely a knife, not the holy grail. It's just a tool everyone can buy and (ab-)use at their leisure. Nothing wrong with that, really. Also, am I the only one who was impressed the blade did not snap when it got hammered? The Huntsman came out alright in my book...

I respect your opinion.

 :iagree:

Making such "funny" videos when you have 10 followers (8 of which you see every weekend in the pub) is one thing, making it when you have 223k followers is another in my opinion.

Especially since they claim to do serious (be it in a "comical" kind of way) reviews and offer advice to people on which knife to buy for which type of use.

Using a SAK for stuff it was never meant to be used for, and then dishing it is truly sad, and can be done for each type of knife or tool, from each brand out there...

The short expression of their appreciation for the SAK as a 'pocket knife' in the end means nothing to me after minutes of trashing it wrongfully...

This is the video that made me unsubscribe from their channel. And I haven't been back since then (didn't even re-watch this video, since I knew which video it was, and didn't want to give them one more extra view...).

As I have gotten a bit older.....and maybe a bit more low-speed, high-drag... :D...I have come to appreciate Swiss Army knives more than ever.

For me, the SAK....which SAK might change from day to day...is my favorite piece of gear. And I never want to be caught without one (unless I'm in a Skeletool challenge.).

The SAK  Climber was the knife that started my life-long fondness for good pocket knives. And the SAK is the knife that will be in my pocket when my crazy trip on this blue marble comes to a close. It has a special place in my heart.

But I still enjoy a couple of crazy Dutch kids having a laugh with my favorite tool. One fine day, they will reach into their pockets and realize that the SAK they find there has been their best, most used, and most faithful companion. I have no doubts.
