VDK campknife???
I need help identifying this knife. It's stamped 'VDK' and that stamps looks pretty much like the trademark of a knife'maker called 'Vlad' but the style is so different that I'm just not sure. 'VDK' is the only information I have. There's no additional info on the blade.

Why I use the striker
Просмотров 6196 лет назад
Most ferro rods (fire steels) come with a striker and for a reason. Is using the spine of your knife all the time not messing with the heat threat and temper of the blade?
Challenging DC about the 5 C's
Просмотров 9046 лет назад
Many people like the 5 C's and some even live by it. But there's a very important C missing. In the video I call it a 'calling device' but Reallybigmonkey1 came up with the name 'communication' and that kinda sums it up. It can be a whistle, signal mirror or even a cell phone but being able to draw attention from rescuers is way more important than having cordage. The numbers 6 to 10 are for th...
Enzo Elver full test and review

Full test and review on the Enzo Elver scandi in 12C27 Sandvik stainless steel and black G10 handle. I got this knife at www.brisa.fi I really like the knife, think it's beautiful and did some heavy testing also. The knife is sturdy, sharp and easy to sharpen in the field. I prefer stainless for food prep.
Colombia trip SHORT impression

Dutch Bushcraft in Colombia or the Dutch Bushcraft Association visiting the Colombian Bushcraft Association. Just a short impression because the original video is almost 40 minutes long and for some people that's just to long. ;) The video shows Barranquilla, Santa Marta, Tayrona National Park and CasaGrande Surf and surroundings. All the Caribbean coast. If you want to visit there and maybe do...

My trip to Colombia. The Northern Caribbean coast

Due to storms in the US the flight turned out to be Amsterdam, Buffalo, Philadelphia, Nashville, Miami, Barranquilla, but I made it. They do love their Salsa music and every house and car is playing their favorite songs loud. A pleasant chaos. There sure are rules and laws but way less rules than over here in Holland or in the US for that matter so I did get a sense of freedom. I did not see an...

How do you remove the rear plug without scratching it? Thank you.
Do not drug the blade over the stone, stop the sharpening motion before the stone ends.Also do not apply much pressure with your hand.also, the closer to the last passes, lighten the pressure more and more, and the last passes, just let the weight of the knife, be the only pressure applied and only one pass per side. We only do more passe per side, on the low grit stones, when we remove steel to establish an edge bevel. When we are at the mid and final stage grits, we always do one each side, and always we do exactly the same on both sides.Finish by stropping on news paper, not leather. You might dull the edge,. if you strop on leather,
You wouldn’t survive a day in the Rocky Mountains.
Why not? What's so special about the Rocky Mountains? It has woods, rivers and mountains. Pretty easy to survive in actually.
You actually did a good job strengthening the tip. I have seen too many broke tips videos.
Thank you.
I like that neck knife and sheath
Thanks. It's a cheap but functional one. It had a trailing point and a cheap plastic sheath so I changed it into a drop point and made a thick leather sheath. I still use it a lot in and around the house for small tasks like opening packages, cutting small stuff, etc. I find this tip down neck carry more convenient than a folding knife.
Hey brother! Love the video, love your psychology and reasoning why and where you may carry a certain blade. We’ll thought out! Congrats man, keep ‘em coming! I just subscribed
Thx for the nice comment. Planning on visiting Thailand so I had a look at the knife laws. It basically says you can't have a knife or anything else that a weapon or can be used as a weapon. That's basically saying nothing. I did read that a small SAK is socially acceptable to carry. Non locking, not one hand opening. But I plan to go into nature also. So I might take a simple Mora 546 and if they take it away it's almost no money lost. Or my Svord Peasant with pink handle scales. I'd rather have customs and police think I'm gay and let me keep the knife than think I'm 'Rambo' and take the knife away.
Hultafors is not available everywhere. Or more expensive. Here in my country it is available and cheaper than a Mora. Been using a Hultafors GK since 2011 and the thing won't break. Of course Mora is a great brand too and probably more available. I have lots of other knives, machetes and hatchets. But I make the difference between wat you NEED and what you WANT. When it comes to saws you will also want one saw that does it all. That's the Bahco Laplander or saws like this. Fresh wood, dead wood, bones, it doesn't matter. It will bend before it breaks. So when I decide to bring a saw it's the Bahco Laplander for sure. Yes, we are on the same page ;)
@@stevanoutdoor thanks my friend, appreciate the info here. I will have to look and see about a hultafor here in my area. About axes and saws, I like them and use them but in general a Swiss Army knife and fixed blade does most of what I need, and I try to limit ax use in the back country if I can! If you have an accident far away, it’s so dangerous.
@@stevanoutdoor great point and great idea, I’m sure many tourists have lost knives and other things because they did not due their research before hand. Are you planning on posting videos from there?
@@357.SwampFox I do plan on filming stuff. I even bought a waterproof phone since I plan on going into the jungle also, do some outdoor cooking, etc. I'll probably do the editing when back home and make a compilation, like I did with Colombia. Buy myself a hat that the locals wear and a locally made machete as souvenirs. I'm still on the fence about bringing my CS Bushman. I like the hollow handle because it makes it easy to put on a long stick and cut down high hanging fruit from the ground.
👌⭐🎖️💫💐👉
Thank you for sharing your knife experience.
Good idea to have the blade to the top while passing the knife.
Kleven is 1 ding maar zodra je gaat toeteren, kan je een brake check verwachten.
Ikkan nie kijke. Dat is te zien , kut chauffeur. I ndie auto, dus.
TRUT !!
Reload this with an update. Great video. Seriously
Thx. I made the video long time ago as the founder of the Bushcraft Associations. The statement that I wanted to make is that you don't need expensive gear to go out there and enjoy bushcraft. If I find someone with a good camera and who can do the editing I might make another one with more budget bushcraft gear in it.
Your no bushcrafter, your doing all your videos in some euro trash suburb
Nice collection, you're right, nowadays the old model KL knives, whether they're Amefa or Victorinox, are collectors' pieces and too expensive for every day carry. I was in the British Army in the late 80s/early 90s. We didn't get any knife issued, just the linemen in our (Signals) Regiment got them, the one like you showed but with a marlinspike. I actually bought an old model German Army Victorinox and carried that.
Jag har alla modeller
it's not a hitch because it's easy to untie, it's hitch because it ties a rope to a thing. Constrictor "knot". is a misnomer because it's actually a hitch in that it ties a rope to a thing.
Great video and answered my question on what the difference is and more importantly, WHY each is used over the other. Other than stopper knots, I have never had too much trouble or had to cut a rope to untie it. Correction: I use taut-line hitches to hold up my sun shades. After weeks or months in the sun and rain, I either have to wet the knot to get some lubrication on the rope to open it up for untying, or simply cut it. I hope I am not suffering the Dunning-Kruger affect here! I have never had to use a knot under critical conditions such as climbing, that is why I watch videos from experienced climbers. The climbers that are wrongly using their knots...are not on YT or sadly not on that long.
finnish knives ftw

Knives are very important in a survival situation, especially when you get lost because, if you don`t have one, you need to make one using wood or aninal bones for example.
Indeed. Or making one by flint knapping. But for that you need the availability of decent flint in your surroundings. So whatever material is available, if you don't have a knife you make one to the best of your ability and the resources.
Très beau couteau que j'ai acheté.
Camera is too far away from the subject, and during the carabiner section of the video, the camera isn't even _facing_ the subject! The knot (hitch) is facing the instructor, not the camera. ☹👎
Doing the best I can. I'm no good a these electronics. I'm just good at being an instructor. But I get your point.
@@stevanoutdoor : Thanks for your quick response -- gotta give you credit for _that!_ 🙂 Maybe you'd like to re-do the video some time in the near future? It's not really an electronics issue, just a camera positioning issue. (Also, while you're at it, using a thicker cord would help the viewers to see the construction of the knots.)
@@Milesco I've put out an add several times for someone that will do this for me and in return I will teach them bushcraft, outdoor and survival. I might have to try that again. Thx for your input.
Colombia reminds me so much of my country, the roster was just free range, and the cooking outside with firewood, takes me home. 🥰
Hi i have a KM 87 knife and i cant find a price anywhere, i do know it is a really rare knife. Does anyone know how much it is worth?
I would not know. It can be a precious find for some and just a pocket knife for others.
What size can is the inside one used as the shield
The can I used is some 10,2 cm diagonal and some 11,7 cm high. They use them a lot here for canned vegetables and fruits with some 800 to 825 gram content. I use the one without the white inside coating but I guess you could also burn that off first. After you remove top and bottom with a can opener (I use the bottom on the bottom of the stove to prevent burning the soil) Then all you need is strong scissors and a drill. (Since the video I drilled the holes in the can one size bigger for an easier fit.) Once you have cut the can open lengthwise you can basically bend the curve into shape to match your stove.
some excellent ideas, thanks.
👌 thanks for sharing Buddy👌
Very well done review. Short and to the point. Thank you for the English review.
Great ideas man. Subed
Ik doe het even in het Nederlands: jij bent tot zover de enige die de holle handel laat zien! Ik weet alleen zelf niet hoe je dat dopje eraf haalt? Als je iets in die gaatjes steekt krijg ik het er in geen mogelijkheid uit.
Het is ook niet zo makkelijk. Met een mesje of dunne schroevendraaier rondgaan en beetje bij beetje liften zonder de dop te beschadigen. En je hebt gelijk. Veel mensen weten het niet eens. Het is een bajonet aansluiting en geen makkelijk toegankelijke holte voor survivalspullen. Ik heb wel iemand gezien die er schroefdraad in getapt heeft en er een metalen bout opgeschroefd als hamer.
you baton with a knife because your stupid.
Thanks for the awesome tip!
It would be amazing if it were made for a trip into the forest
After watching you video sometime back in the before time I got me a set of these and I love them they work great only thing bad I can say is that they will stain but that doesn't bother me any .
Glad you like them. Mine stain to as in some discolorations but no rust. Rust would rather surprise me in normal use.
It's a bayonet!
Dear Steven, We have talked a long time ago I really hope you doing well in these crazy days. I just discovered the latest DAK dutch army knife from Victorinox and I would be very intresting for your opinion. I know you prefer the classic alox model so do I. I am lucky enough to own an original standard issue Wenger soldat knife. Really good design. I know you have been trained and issued in the dutch army so It would be intresting if you could share your opinion. This new DAK owns two blades. One is similar like a gutting blade but also can be used as emergency blade. Do you think this is necessary in military? I dont know. Best regards, Lev
Dear Lev, Good to hear from you. I'm doing ok but this pandemic does make it harder for business. Trip to Brazil got cancelled and trip to Argentina postponed. I hope all is well with you? The model you talk about (I think) was introduced in 2010. You have to keep in mind that this is the only edged tool issued by the Dutch Military (besides maybe some Special Forces that get issued a fixed blade as well and I know for a fact that many soldiers also carry a multitool with pliers). But basically it should be a one tool option. I think having the partially serrated main blade and an extra serrated curved blade is redundant. The serrated curved safety gutting and rescue blade does make sense in some branches of the military for instance medics and engineers who work with fabric and rope a lot. I think for some military branches a wood saw would be better. But of course it's also all about budget. I also think they should replace the scales with alox. I did have these plastic scales break on me during normal work. So that's my opinion. I'll keep my old model but always combine it with a fixed blade (even when I was in the military). Cheers, Steve
Great ideas! Thanks.

I found a Canadian goose egg and there eggs are like 4 C's the size of a regular chicken egg and white shelled.
I spent time in the US Army and I ate plenty of MREs. Could you provide a little more information when you said "Preservatives could vaporize out of the food". Great information. Thanks for the video
Back in the days (1985) we had cans in our MRE for dinner. I guess there were added preservatives in there to extend the expiration date. Some guys were to lazy or hungry to heat it up and ate it cold from the can and all got some stomach discomfort. The instruction was to heat it up so when these guys complained the first question was if they did heat it up to let the preservatives vaporize. They now have more modern MRE's of course.
Ho detto una cazzata forse ma mi sembrava che ci fosse un collegamento con fox - outdoors bo?
