Magna-Cut! The ultimate modern super steel! When I saw one of my favourite brands Bark river put the steel into some of their models I just had to get one! The bark River Bushcraft Scout in Magna-Cut! I love the bushcrafter model and I love Magna-cut! What could possibly go wrong?

So little more info on why it broke here:
In steel manufacturing sometimes little bubbles of air or particles of dirt that shouldnt be in there end up the the steel. From the outside things like this can't be noticed thus we can't point the finger on anyone with this one. It doesn't happen often but it does happen. For this reason it might always be good to stress the knife you buy for your potential survival situation a bit before actually having to depend on it. Bark river will replace the knife under warranty as should all knife makers when something like this occurs.

[j.p.]

You gentlemen keep the knife companies honest. Period.
Exposing any weakness, yet highlighting their capabilities. Damn fine work.

[Kteights]

"DO" break more knives. Stress testing sometimes results in breaking. It shows vulnerabilities that "normal" use won't uncover. Good work guys!

[spydercolover]

This knife deserves a pt.2! MAKE DBK SEE THIS!

[Red-viez]

Because of BR made a mistake when they sent me a new sheat on warranty I had to pay 40 usd in custom. They promise to pay me back but they never did so. And yes I mailed them several times about this. So in my experience their customer service isn’t very good.

[theirishbear_osrs]

You know what funny is? You know what is funny? That was a genuine friend moment haha

[willbrink]

That was a year ago, so did you get another from BR? Two, then you need to repeat the testing with the replacement which will show either (1) was just lemon, bad HT, etc or (2) the knife breaks again! We need that test boys! :)

The knife gods count all these up, you know.

I wish you guys would try a White River fire crafter. I have a FC5 and I love it. I think it is a great outdoors knife, but you guys are the experts. I think you would have trouble breaking it and I would love to hear what you think.

[greenman]

Sorry, but there is NO reason you should apologize for breaking an expensive knife made from "super" steel, when all you did was hit it with a "soft" piece of birch wood while trying to split a 3/4 inch piece of "rotten" wood. They should be apologizing to you and refunding your money.

Martin is like that kid who breaks his own toy and then tries to break yours.

Just when I was ready to buy a Bark Rive knife I see this excellent and very informative presentation on a Bark River Knife.
No shame on you guys. The knife was destined to break, no?
That could have been my knife, and me. Lost in the forest at night! With no fire because my very well made, and finely finished Bark River knife contained an occlusion and broke while I prepared kindling for the life preserving warmth of the fire I desperately needed to survive.

If their customer service is poor for you, the DBK You Tube legends, how will they treat me? A nobody from, nowhere USA.
And obviously their quality control is worthless.

No Bark River Knife for me, and thank you for breaking it before I did.

Sorry to hear all the complaints about Bark River, I've never had anything but good experiences with them but I haven't purchased a knife from them in a good many years. Only one I've still got is a Bravo 1.25 in 3V, it's a tank and it's served me well and will continue to for some time. Hopefully they get back to where they used to be, always considered them one of the best

Edit: Also, jimping cuts need to be rounded to help prevent stress fractures like that, just saying. No straight lines like that!

[MMPAspergerian]

Bark was my dream brand until they went downhill. Thank you for all you do!

[brunoonraedt]

for the price a Bark River costs in Europe, that knife should come without flaws, and no second-choice steel.

[buškrafterinabaterije]

I have scout too. dont think it is impurities in the steel, the jimoping is very sharp and blade is very thin, it would snap anyway

[maxlvledc]

This is why I always love your videos...sometimes things are unexpected

[jimihenrik]

Please make an update on how bark river treats the warranty. And then test it again but harder and see if it breaks again. In pretty sure this was only a manufacturing mistake in the steel (you can clearly see the air pocket in the broken faces).

[ROMANSVERSEAND]

I also have 2 of these first production run scouts from DLT. They are thin and slicey, I wouldn’t baton with them but I appreciate you guys doing so and hope mine doesn’t have a similar flaw. I really like the scout and Magnacut but it has its purpose. Mine were pretty well finished also. Thanks for the video guys!

I got a brandnew Fox River from Bark River from my wife for Christmas, and I had a blast, it was the best gift ever for me.
First time I took it out for a hunt, I did gut a deer, which included opening the pelvic bone.
I did this a lot with Moras, without any trouble.
I couldn´t believe my eyes, the edge of the Fox River was broken at several several spots.
It was my first Bark River, and it will be the last forever.
A Mora for 15 Euros is way better for the job.
