At least you actually went out and got training where others are still faking it. Still my go to guy on gear reviews. I have found a lot of useful items because of you 👍. Oh your kinda fuzzy there partner. It’s a good side of you 🥹😅😂😇😇😇😇☺️. SEMPER FI

Very informative video! The best yet I've seen in the garberg! I've been researching a week for a new EDC, and you've absolutely sold me on this knife! I'll be ordering one this week!👍🏻👍🏻

Well, thanks to reviews like this… 4 years later, plus inflation, this knife doubled in price… this same knife, is being price quoted at $400/$500+ Sorry, I cannot afford that…

Bottom line: Buy the real thing; either Law or Sylvan.

Great review! Kinda looks like a HK p30. Lots of extras too. Thanks for sharing.

Very Cool

I have read the reviews on the Harbor Freight magnesium fire starter on the review section on their own website. They got a lot of very bad reviews.

Thanks! good advice!

Drill another hole and secure the tang??

I never use the knife for sparking because the sparks are from the knife not the rod.

I don't believe it.. It's all china crap. Maybe assembled in the US.. 🥴

It's amazing that over 110 years ago, a Colt 1911 survived harsh government testing of 6000 rounds without a single misfire. And that was with ammo that was not as good as today's options. And here we are all this time later and Colt can't make their almost $2000 Colt 1911 reliable, getting 15 misfeeds or misfires out of 426 rounds. A pistol should be reliable from round 1 with good ammo and magazine. There's a reason I carry a 50+ year old 1911 or Sig P210. They were made to last, made to easily repair, and made to do their job reliably.

I’ve been carrying the Razorback for about five years now. I do not leave home without it. I would trust my life to this knife any day of the week. A lot of people are in here, complaining about the price. I would say to those people, how much is your life worth?

I appreciate the fire starting examples.

I live in the UK, I’ve had one of these for 15 years, they truly are amazing.

A bargain for wonderful knives . Well made , great finish , fantastic service . Made for multi use in the field .

Yep, the Copenhaver is more user ready out of the box. As other have said, the tip is a personal preference but us "Americanos" normally want that sharp tip. The way the blade was sharpened on the Copenhaver is typical of South American machetes. Razor near the handle and more or less chopping sharp near the tip. The wood handle is more or less a "Do it yourself" project. Tramontina sells blade blanks for people who make their own. I like that forward lanyard hole in the Copenhaver. I guess you would need to drill your own in the stock version.. Excellent job sticking the Copenhaver. It was light years better than stock in the rotation test.

To be Honest, This is about what I expect from a $20 Machete, straight from the box. You're going to need to put an edge on it and you can probably do that with a stone from the creek. A lot of people will profile to edges on a machete. The bulk of the blade will be at a chopping edge for cutting branches. But about three inches of the blade near the handle will have the hair shaving edge for the fine detail work. As the handle is wood, you can also sand it down to fit your hand just right! Most excellent review but I would like to see how it performed after doing a little work on the handle and getting the edge sharpened the way you would like it be. I bet if you were to sharpen that tip you would be sticking it with ease. You've got the knack. Still, very much a fair assessment for the machete straight out of the box, so to speak.

Thinks its from china.. how ignorant

Adhd cant watch this video

How did the buffer tube retaining pin break because the folding stock? And how did it exactly cause a failure to fire? I’m genuinely curious how this breaks your gun but the other one doesn’t. This really isn’t making any sense.

Just bought one of these from home depot couple weeks after seeing this video. looks great feels great but the condition for my specific one is not the best coming right out of the packaging. The edge does not look too smooth, the sharpness is from from what it performed in the video. It is true that I shouldn't be expecting too much from a 16 dollar knife but still the sharpness in particular is rather disappointing for my specific unit.

We can see your fingers blocking the ejection port😂😂

I was thinking the same thing, another option is to put on ear muffs. Mine are Bluetooth and I can turn them on and hear well but it muffles guns. Suppressors add another thing that can cause a malfunction especially on a pistol. I opted for a sbr, PCC. I wanted a mpx but they were sold out so I went POF phoenix and it’s not 100% reliable so far so I’m back to probably ear muffs. Idk maybe the POF needs to break in

G'day Bryan, very nice mate. Btw: I'm not usually a fan of lanyards, though it sure doesn't hurt on a machete. Cheers Duke.

Dang I decided to seriously started looking into them for purchase and all that excitement and wonder just out the window

I have a S&W Bodyguard 2.0 no manual safety I carry it in a Mika’s pocket holster do you think it’s safe to carry with a round in the chamber?

You are in better shape than most younger folks.

Glock 10 mm

Or just get a Chinese star

It just seems it may be difficult trying to raise the gun out of the holster with the 3rd & 4th finger because of the holster back. You wouldn't be able to grip with the web of your index and thumb until the gun clears the back of the holster? It appears that the gun is initially being raised by the "tips" of the 3rd & 4th finger. With a standard IWB or OWB, all 4 fingers and web of the thumb are around the gun grip on the initial draw.

Don't blame the tool if you totally lack the skill. The wooden handle being a bit bigger than the steel is on purpose because it can get bloody hot out there and you don't want to touch the steel. For this same reason they sunk in the rivets. The blunt tip is on purpose also. Expectation is the mother of diappointment but it gets funny if you don't understand the tool and it's function. I've been to South America and Asia and have seen 6 years old kids (even girls) handling a machete like a pro. You have no clue on how to handle a machete. I probably have some 30+ machetes from all over the world and this simple Tramontina is still one of my favorites. I actually have a video where I modified an even cheaper model Tramontina and used it in the kitchen to slice all kind of vegetables including mushrooms. With the exeption of people like Joe Flowers Americans just have no clue about how to use a machete.

Boa noite, gostei muito do seu video. Sou do Brasil, e fico feliz por você trazer ao seu canal um produto brasileiro. Sou inscrito no seu canal, e sempre assisto os seus vídeos. Agora, quanto a Tramontina, é uma marca muito confiável. Tenho muitas ferramentas da marca, inclusive o facão que é excelente. Um grande abraço aqui do Brasil.

Nothing worse than a inconsiderate neighbor with several constantly barking dogs!

I have a Tisas "Tanker" A1 ( same gun as yours, I believe). It has been all one could expect from a very good, albeit more expensive firearm.Very accurate shooter.Great build quality.Around $360. OTD, how can you go wrong?

Our get home bags are quite similar. I live far enough away to where one overnight somewhere is pretty much a given, and my trek will be much more rural/suburban, so that drives some of the minor differences. I've reached an age where playing Spec Ops Ranger Commando is no longer an option [as if it ever were], so every piece of gear in my bag has to serve a legitimate purpose (and hopefully multiple purposes), rather than just look cool. I've seen people who've absolutely convinced themselves that esoteric stuff like night vision goggles belong in their bag, and they'll defend that decision to the death. More power to them if they want to haul all that gear around. I'll trade that fancy night vision for a shemagh and a Bic any day.

Great video! Very informative. 👍🙏

Looks very nice my friend thanks for share

Like it. Hey Santa!

First and foremost, The FCC needs to do its job and pull the licenses of CNN and MSNBC and a few others. They are nothing but propaganda machines and they should be liable for their betrayal of the USA.

We didnt save America. We bought it a few more years.

I really like condor terrachete. I bought it last year its a great tool.

How is it during daytime? I do deliveries and have to park on the road with my flashers on. "Semi truck" thinking of attaching on back of trailer when stopped.

The grip looks less secure with only one rivet/screw through the material. If I got one I would add another fastener to make it more strongly attached to the tang.

70$ nope. Nope

Have you tried any of the Cood Steel machetes? Very interesting blade shapes and quite affordable

I have the Skrama 240 and 200, and a couple of their other knives. I love the steel. The 240 is my favorite camp tool. The Odenwolf has some appeal. I tried another of their knives, and wasn’t wild about it so I moved it along. For me, it is noncontest. The Skrama is still a fantastic bargain.

Those Copenhagen machetes look cool! I really like the black handle. Sorry that you cut your strumming finger! I hope that heals fast, so you can keep playing guitar. Thanks Bryan 😊

Those upgrades are nice, but hardly worth the difference in price. With simple hand tools, you can improve the handle and the edge, and keep the extra dough in your pocket.

I would like to have a metal d gaurd riveted to it using the original holes, then the micarta handle. But I just opted for the Coldsteel dguard machete for half the cost
