How did i miss this review ?
Just bought this blade today. Went to amazon looking for the schrade froe, no go. Bought this Hobbit Orcrist clone instead…

Great vids buddy. can’t believe I didn’t sub already.
How well does tpe take a stipple job do you know?

I posted this over at PreparedMind101 as well because both of your reviews encouraged me to buy one…. (initiate copy and past)

So I got one of these…. and then had to order another one for my left hand.
Now, the steel for both seems to be good stuff. I’ve been chopping on an 8″ log with both a lot. I don’t intend to throw, pry, baton with these but stick to machete work (except the log practice). The edge retention is decent for the steel.

Downside, the first one was decent sharp but the overall “cosmetic” grind job was terrible. the belly curve goes to far so there is an indent before the tip. And the the spine swedge on the right side is a full 1 inch longer than on the left. The second one the grind looks great for a $40 blade. But it came dull as a butter knife. Seriously, met sharper mashed potatoes. And the one that was poorly ground is a half inch longer and at least a 1/16th of an inch wider in profile.

But, as far as I can tell, as long as I keep doing machete things with these blades I will be able to get my Ninja Mountain Man groove on for a long time.

The only reason I wont recommend these is that the one person who gets a bad blade, or breaks it chopping a rock, will turn into a psycho stalker and make my life miserable.

Happy Blade’n

I will add here that if all you want is to clear some light brush now and then you could pick up a $10 cheapie machete and be just fine. But if you want that brush to cower before the suede that mows like a harvest…

That thing looks absolutely sick. Not a fan of 3cr13 either, but machete makers are starting to push it. With the thickness of this Schrade machete, it should be solid. You certainly put it through it’s paces. You got some good sword skills Tac. You must have studied some Eskirima. I dig it, and this blade is right up my alley too. Thanx for the review.

How was the bevel on it?

My Man u dead handy wit dat ting

TAC!! would u choose this or the kershaw camp 14??

Is it just me or does this look like Thorin’s sword from the Hobbit movies?

Sorry Tac I sent so many messages here. Jus wanna say I think youd like the United Cuttlery ORCRIST. Yeh its an Elvish Sword.
The Dwarf King has it in The Hobbit.
Im not even a fan of The Hobbit.
But I do love The lord of the tings extended trilogy.
Check it out

Thank you Tactical for showing this! Just got the schmbs today and it’s awesome! Schrade took your suggestion about where to leave it unsharpened because it’s totally flat there and has some black coating on it.

It is beautiful.

This is my favourite design of sword/machete and the Parang (Square’ish parang), and tomahawks lol

Dude, are you getting ready or are you ready?

Another cool review Tac ! I’m gonna buzz over to see if PM101 did a review on this machete to see what he has to say. Two of my favorite reviewers but,,,,, you guys are responsible for me buying more stuff after, I thought I have everything I want LOL. THX AGAIN !

Any word when it’s going to be released?!!!

why you kill so many three’s its or air ! take the muslims or so

I like how you always seem concerned for “us” or the camera more accurately, then in the next frame your swinging a freakin sword at us. love the channel and vids.

I love recurved blades.
