I had to laugh when you said that you were designing a knife haha I’m looking at my JessicaX right now. Time flies
the bk9 and bk7 in amazon have black blade. why? did they make any improvement to the blade?
طيب بكم هذا ياخواجه . ؟
1080 spring steel
Nice vid… How has that condor eco parang been doin, pulled the trigger on it when i saw your vid and lovin it.
My husband came up against real dried palm branches. Even with a badass very sharp 18″ Tramontina, this stuff was obstinate! When it’s live, it can still give you a run for the money but dried? The Tramontina tore it up, but it was work for real. Our Tramontinas prove themselves daily.
How good is the Schrade Schbolo at splitting firewood (Batoning)?
Check out the marbles machete on sale for 12.99 at smkw. Im pretty sure its a tramintina sold by marbles, it is made in el salvador. Also it has a white and black tiger stripe coating on the blade and since its carbon steel great for protection. Its not full size although they do have the full size for 14.99 with the orange blade. Handle is very grippy paracord wrap. Sheath is durabe as hell.
has nothing o a kukri
By not just use a small axe or hatchet? Carrying an unnecessarily large blade is pointless. Mors Kochanski answering the question, “What is a Survival Knife?”
“… comfortable handle, blade no bigger than four fingers, continuous curvature, nothing unusual or weird about any shape. The tip of the knife ends up somewhere between the center and the back of the handle. The blade is so thin that it’s quite flexible.”
Good chopper but how would that do against the MOD British Knife??
What’s the best cold steel tomahawk for what you use them for?
it would be funny if you could do a little cgi and pull out a light saber
Do the Ontario sp53..
looking forward to that one
I have went to a large knife last year and i like it as it chops well for it’s grind and 17 ounce weight .. Also last year i bought my first Kukri and i spend hours watching you guys demo this design , i bought the Ontario , ya it’s a full flat grind and some wood it does stick in the wood…
Check video Correa LR is in Spanish but you will andestem the idea work grate for big knife and machete . is a over back hand strap work real well for me . check it out.
I own, and use a Fiskars x7 hatchet when I camp. It’s going on almost four years, and is still going good. I’m going to be ordering in a Condor Parang soon.
For approximately the same weight as a large chopper, a well made properly designed hatchet or small camp axe can provide more versatility for chopping splitting and hammering. If you carry a big chopper you are going to want a good smaller blade (or two) for more detailed and delicate work anyway, and you won’t have a hammer when you need one. To me a hatchet / knife combo seems more practical long term. But I have a couple of big choppers just in case I lose my hatchet and need to “make do”.
you should have mentioned sword machetes those things clear alot fast
looks like you down by big walnut creek
I think that Schrade calling it a “bolo” is intentional. Especially since a barong is similar to a bolo. Read the history, origin and purpose of a barong and then the same for a bolo. I think Schrade wanted to produce barong style knife but wanted to associate it more with the purpose of a bolo knife.
these are actually so impractical for the area, you live in America bye a variety of axe’s. this video encompasses the “preper” comunity, way to much in to tools and there apperance and how it makes them appear, the bushcraft comunity is far more practical. take some advice from them, why because all you learn from a preper is ‘the best kit’ and are way to focused on the kit rather than skill and quality. this is quite evident just how many knives he has. look at the bushcraft comunity preping is a wast of tim.
Thanks great reviews & general info! Joe
dude the stickers are still on your machetes! You haven’t used them!!! Cut the shit. Use the products before you speak about them. I wouldn’t review a product until I have used it extensively. You embody what is wrong with Youtube videos.
Where did you purchase the Becker bk9 cuase I really want to purchase one
The cold steel trail master is an outstanding chopper and is FFG.
I got a schrade axe that you reviewed and it is awesome!!! Bugout bag coming together real nice because of Chris!!!
My favorite survival chopper?
Fiskars X7 5850.
awesome, very informative and unbiased reviews, you guys rock! 🙂
I like the ChanceinHell. Looks like it may be the next one on the least like maybe this Tuesday. Chris, you and my husband have the same tastes in knives.
u should do another vid like this! I can’t tell u how many times I’ve watched this
This is one of the best videos I have seen with such a variety of machetes.. thanks…
I ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ my BK-9..so much so I sleep with mine..under my pillow…getting a BK-2 as my EDC next week!!!
Very complete review. Thanks for sharing.

NOT ANYMORE, MAN!!
STARTING IN SEP 1, 2017, We Can Carry Up To a FUCKING KATANA!!
TEXAS STILL ROCKS!!
I bought a Becker crewman Becker combat Bowie and the little Becker Mora and the Ontario machete with the saw back those the only knives I ever bought one time instead of buying something cheaper and then upgrading
13:22 Shuheeeth.
Kukris are not good for chopping. You will end up with it stuck in your chin. A straight blade is much better.
Sometime i hate your videos man makes me buy things lol. Waiting on BK9 now cant wait to do your method on lettering and polish great vids and info. Thank you.
great video and I appreciate the time you put into making this.
