Lets look At 30 Different Machetes In Field Use

Hi everyone, coming to you from the desert, it's a very very mild day here in Georgia in January and I thought someone had suggested once they said why don't you show us all your

machetes

in one video, just give us a

look

fast and what you think quickly about them, so I thought it's a very good idea, you know, it may take a little time, but what I'm going to do now is show my

machetes

that I chose. 30 of them right now some are machetes some are parangs some are gold locks some are kukris but for the sake of this video and showing them off let's call them all machetes okay and check them out now to review 30 of them quickly.

Uh, I'm not going to go too deep into the details, but I'm going to say some snippets about them and I'm going to more or less say if I hate them, if I like them, or if I love them that much. and then you can continue from there and then what little details can I suddenly remember or that I think are important, I'll tell you, okay, then you're ready to go, let's grab some machetes and take a

look

, this is the condor. brujo it's a leather sheath with two clasps it has a micarta handle it's about 3 16 thick it's like a joke it's like a play I like this machete this is a farce it comes in a cordura sheath uh it has a clasp on it and it has a click here they call it a kukri they call it a farce kukri but it's actually more like a hybrid between a bolo and a kukri I like this machete but I love this handle because of the way it has the palm farce kukri this is a condor machete 18 inches this is a leather sheath and I love that sheath it is a fantastic sheath the machete is fine the handle I hate the handle is uncomfortable you have to wear gloves but this machete is stainless steel so it would be great for swamps and wetlands and even for people who live near the coast where there are saltwater condors. 18 inches.

This is the cold steel machete for the jungle. Comes in a cordura case. It has a snap closure. here and then it has a snap around the handle, I think it's 10 55, I still put duct tape on the handle and then I put duct tape around here to where I could choke because it seems like a lot of blade for a short handle. I like this machete. I'm fine with the handle for now, but someday I'll ride it again from here to here and then I'll love it. Cold steel jungle machete. This is a homemade machete I made.

I made this machete about 10 years ago, pull the sheath a little and move it by pressing the spine. It is a quarter of an inch thick. A 440 stainless steel beast. The handle is delrin. One of a kind handmade by old Dave. There's a lot of fat wood there. a mini duco de condor comes in a leather sheath, the idea behind this is that you want to squeeze it a little as you take it out and you want to apply pressure by pushing against the spine to make sure the edge clears the sheath push up this is 1075 or 1095 I don't remember but it's the mini dooku it's a little thick a little short somewhat light so it's good for backpacking because of the nature of the handle I don't even have to have a lanyard that grips very well, this is another very good machete lightweight that offers the 170 caps.

It comes in a cordura bag with two pockets here, it has a piece of velcro right here, a very, very light machete with a micarta handle, very comfortable, I'm on the verge of love. I like this machete and I love it you can choke with it right here you can grab it here or you can grab it back here I make a longer version called the 210 this is the tops 170. this is the ontario military 18 inch machete you can get a wide variety of sheaths, this turns out to be a Rothko sheath, some type of plastic, it has a serrated back and some type of plastic handle, you can use a lanyard, you can or like, this machete is best suited for wearing gloves, although this it's Honshu bashing cuisine, it's made in China 7cr13, I'm not a big fan of Chinese made products but this cuts amazing, it has a snap here and a snap here holding the handle, this is an absolute beast. of a kukri it has a hollow grind seven cr13 I love this machete very comfortable handle ropes as value this is a real kitchen handmade in nepal this is made by the ex-girka kukri house handmade in nepal i'm not sure if i can' I don't remember what the wooden handle is, but it comes with some kind of cover that may be made of wood on the inside.

It has two small knives that come with it, one is sharp to use as a small knife and the other is steel. It is used to sharpen this or if you are a craftsman, you can use it as part of Flintonstale Real Deal Kukri. This is the well-known and popular parang of the condor village. It has a leather sheath with two clasps and is based fairly loosely on a piranha. It has a hickory handle and this is one of those that because of this back here you don't really need a lanyard, it won't slip out of your hand, the grind is like a convex axe, this is the k-bar machete it's not really a machete but it's loosely based on the shape of a bolo it has a cordura cordura on the front leather on the back pouch it has two snaps but you can undo the first snap and take it out easily without squeezing based on a bolo it has a crayton handle I love it this machete is not very heavy but it can be cut move the machete away from you place your thumb on the blade facing up that trunk is hard as a rock this is an 18 inch marble machete The 18 inch latin style machete has a handle made of wood made in brazil the case is homemade by me it has a canvas on the back and a survival kit on the front it has that beautiful sound that Tramantina saw below in the ontario sp8 comes in a cordura case which is half sanity half leather this is unusual because it has a completely open strap with a small strap and has a pendant.

I love it. I love a pendant on the sheet. This particular type of machete is sharp on the bottom, sharp on the top and has sort of teeth here. The version of a machete is called a coping machete, which is a type of search and rescue machete. I can't explain all the ins and outs, but if you have the opportunity to do a little research on a coping machete, I love this machete. a quarter inch thick, oh, and I meant that for the second half of this video, Nick is behind the camera. Hey, hey, because Nick was running around with Ko's team enjoying it for the first half of the video, remember how I went crazy. that weed that time he did it again oh the next one is a turpentine bolus now this doesn't come with a cover so this is a marble cover with three pockets it's a cordura pocket it has velcro and this of course has that turpentine sink made in brazil bolo style and I have covered the handle with a baseball bat wrap called lizard skins.

They'll talk more about that in a future video. What a beautiful song this machete honshu bashing parang brought you. Okay, this is the hoshu bashing kukri's brother. I showed before a 100 leather sheath front and back with a huge loop if it's on any size belt it has two snaps two leather snaps seven cr13 stainless steel I love these things beautiful very comfortable handle I love this machete no I thought about it. I would because it's stainless steel and because it's hollow ground, but I love turning the machete back like this, lifting it up, there's the cord, this is the Ontario kukri.

The case is not very good, it comes in Cordura, but I have made it quite a bit. Some improvements I added this plugin, the factory plugin is here and then I added a pendant. This machete is an Ontario kitchen machete with a craton handle and has a completely flat sharpening. If it had a convex sharpening, I would love it. but because of the flat sharpening, I really like this machete, so I may have gotten a little dirty, yeah a little, like I said before, with the blade facing away from you, turn it over, there's the lanyard that worked How did it hit you?

Yes, that's how it was. pretty good I was supposed to be the one throwing the falling debris this is the Jungleo condor it comes in a leather sheath on the front and back with a pendant and as usual with the quality of the condor the sheath is excellent it has two snaps Heavy leather here has a The walnut handle is somewhat similar to a mix of bolo and kukri. When I first bought this machete I absolutely hated it, I sanded, reshaped the handle and re-sharpened it and now I like this machete. I don't love it but I like Condor Jungleo uh it took a while shouldn't I have put the camera on the record?

Sorry, it's terava scrama or skrama. I'm not sure it has an all-leather case with a very heavy plastic coating. uh, here's your leather strap, it has a place in a heavy lining where you put your thumb to pull out the blade. Now many people would say that this is not a machete, but a large knife, but this shape is based on what it is. called sax s-e-a-x now I said I was going to put all these big blades together, whether they were kitchen panga parang or sax it has a handle that is very long and very very comfortable, you can come back like this to cut or you can come forward for your fine carving now yes Look, I don't think you can see this, but from here to here, do you see a little dent where it's ground separately?

I might have to get really close, ah, it's too blurry. Well, from here to here it's ground 25 degrees, from here to here it's 34 degrees, what that means is this is your cutting surface and this little section near the handle is your thin carbon surface. Now I love this sheet. I love it, so this is it. The k bar grass machete the sheath that comes from the factory is black cordura and I hated it. It was the stupidest, ugliest sheath I've ever seen, so I made this sheath here and added a knife sheath to it when it comes.

For uh grass vine and thorns of all the machete, this k-bar grass machete is my absolute favorite because this thing is like a razor blade and if you look, can you see where the light hits it? It has like a primary sharpening. secondary grind and then a third grind which is called a duplex grind and which leaves you with a very fine edge, a razor edge, so this is not a firewood splitter, but this thing, if you don't cut firewood with it, cuts grass. , vines and things like that. Like that really good sharpness test on things like this is if I can cut the bare top of the rice and if I can do it with my left hand, what rose up it's hard to see where you're cutting, oh, there you go, hang up. over here wait try this one you are everywhere I couldn't find you oh there you go I think I actually have it right yes yes I think this is the condor go lock package it comes in a full leather front case and the back does not have a pendant , it only has a very, very small belt loop that I don't really care for.

Two leather straps. It has a walnut handle and is shaped like a padlock. I flattened the sides of the handle. It used to be round and I'm torn between liking it or loving it. It's a good machete. This is the best chance in hell. The machete also known as the Columbia River knife and tool. It's a hundred percent sanity sheath and with this one I added a mora and a ferro rod it has three clasps here it has a clasp there and a clasp there and a clasp here so it's very solid there now this is a very, very unusual machete because it is very narrow and very tall but the handle is fantastic, right?

I don't need a lanyard for this, it's very, very, very comfortable and I'm somewhere between liking it and liking this machete. The more I use it, the more I like it. It is designed by Ken Onion. This is the Ontario 18 Inch Camp Machete. Now if you remember the 18. Inch military machete he had was in a Rothko sheath. This is a true speck holster, so true Rothko specs and marbles make holsters that fit those. The only difference between this one and the other is that it has a smooth back instead of a serrated one. back and has a D-shaped handle to protect your knuckles.

I really like this machete. This machete is a bit boring, so I'll show you a little trick instead of doing this. You can do this. Then I see that they stopped cutting the machete. 2005, but this is very special to me because he's been with me for a long time and I've been through a lot with him. He has a whole bag of sanity. I have a saw attached. Front and back elastic cordura straps for hanging. It has a place. right here to make snaps and then a zipper across it. Now this used to have a common secondary grind, but I experimented a little bit and I'll talk more about it in the future, but I could put a concave, uh not convex grind on it. everything, but up here on this side I put a little 25 degree section and then on this side I put a 22 degree section.

You can see it's a lot bigger and that will be for my fine carving, but I love this. machete I wish they still made this exact model but they don't and I can hear how hard that log is, the part is raw like I can feel it shake the ground under my feet with a little force, let's see if it still carves, certainly don't think the small cut is the fault of the machete. This is the kukri from Ontario Knife Company. He has sanity on the front. Leather on the back with a good pendant. He has a strap here.

It has a strap here but it's not necessary. You can do it easily. take it out like this the handle is crayton very comfortable not too thick not too thin I love this machete quite light to be a goodhelicopter the condor perrine bushcraft parang has a sanity holster a lot of people hate this holster I don't Note that there is a snap here that you want to pinch and put pressure, put pressure, push up against this surface because that's what you want to put pressure on against the sheath that slides out to keep it cut, I'm not sure what kind of material it is 1075 or 1095, one or the other, but of all the crap Condor has produced in the past, I love this machete, it's just the Perfect machete for the one I love. a parang is a large condor machete pushed to the right wooden line tactical machete i think this is designed by a guy named dave young the sheath is very exaggerated it's a gigantic machine it's not designed for your leg it's meant to be attached to a backpack but it has Molly the front molly on the back so it's pretty versatile and it has all these little holes for paracord it has this on the bottom paracord you're supposed to tie it to your leg but I doubt it's the last machete I'd carry over time exactly for my leg, this is a quarter inch heavy elastic with a cord that goes in there, it has a very heavy heavy lining.

Now this machete is absolutely overkill, actually after seeing the machete, yeah, well, when I first saw it, I didn't know what. to think about it but I like it I like it too now look this has a cord cutter here very sharp very polished it has scallops it has the grind for chopping here it has more scallops on the top and from here to here I I want you to try to get close to this sharpening that is the most efficient sawmill I have ever seen in my entire life. It is rectified to perfection. That thing will open it for you.

The design of this thing is called a panga. I forgot to mention it. in the back it has a glass cutter now unfortunately they stopped making this beast and a beast it is to see the tactical wooden letters you have to wear gloves with this thing this handle will eat you that handle will turn you into a panga i'll see you outside I need a face shield taking a wooden shower that's a lot of machete for backpacking but it's a beast of a helicopter I think I love it I don't like how big it is but I love this machete you can pretty You can do anything with all these

different

sharp ones covered in wood.

This is a homemade macca machete. It does not come with a case. I gathered this cover from an old frost and it fits perfectly now. Maka is a custom knife and machete maker. From the United Kingdom he has a YouTube channel titled maca m-a-c-c-a. This is loosely based on a Bronx style. I don't remember what this wood is, but it's like some kind of zebra wood or something. I don't remember, he said, but If you look at the pins on the mosaic, can you get closer to them and everything related to this? The craftsmanship of this is excellent when you first see the handle you might be a little taken aback but when you use it you will either choke here here or come back here.

When you use it for the first time it is very comfortable, but it is handmade macca mica. This is the latest addition to my collection. I haven't even had time to put a knife on it yet, but it's cold steel kitchen. I always thought machetes were needed. Being 1075 or 10.95 cold steel makes them 10 50 or 10.55 and I thought it was a lesser steel, but it holds an edge for a while. Cordura cover front and back. Real hard plastic tip. It has two clasps, I don't know. What the handle is made of but the handle is very comfortable but it takes forever to sharpen but once you sharpen it it will hold the edge like you wouldn't believe.

I definitely like this machete, I'm a fan of it. the sheath has an extra protector on the end because I have a sword whose end stabs through the sheath, yes save the best for last of all these machetes, people always ask me my opinion, there are a lot of machetes. I have several machetes that I love, but when asked what my absolute number one favorite is, it's the Ontario SP53. This one went out of production for a while and then they brought it back and the new covers didn't. they have this type of pocket, they have a

different

holster, this is the old one from 2012, but it has a pocket here with a quick text buckle, it has molly straps on the back, it has two of these heavy plastic liners very solid and this one is Loosely based on the shape of a bolo, some call this a machete, others call it a bolo knife, but it is a quarter inch thick and is 516.

An excellent material that holds the edge forever. Craton handle. Bra, shows logo on other side. Okay, oh, this is better on this one. side is on both sides generation 2 sp 53 on this side it says 5160 quarter inch thick beast, I love this machete, well that's roughly 30 machetes. I hope you enjoyed the video if you have any questions about any particular machete. them in the comments section uh hope you enjoyed the video uh nick anything you want to add uh I can't believe you started the video without me you ran away and you were mowing without me yeah so fill the grass and I just had to go. wild, okay, I hope you enjoyed it, like I said, go out, enjoy life, pick up a machete, uh, you can listen to my opinion or not, but try to remember to say what I liked and what I did.

I don't like it so I can't go wrong with an Ontario, uh, pretty much Ontario, a k bar, a condor or possibly a Cold Steel. I didn't like Cold Steel, but now that I've tried it, they're not bad, so go out and enjoy. life for the third time I can't emphasize it enough stay in nature stay away from people stay away from crowds see you next time see you later
