Cold Steel with another remarkably tough blade. I think the vibration problem is partially the handle construction. Single piece plastic isnt going to absorb shock like a couple pins and a wood or micarta handle. Could also explain the handle shattering.

[@joex]

Yeah, that must be it!👍

[@mariaconcepcionrodriguezhe2850]

Vibration is more complicated than just handle construction, infact a fully encapsulated tang will dampen shock better than fulltang. But handle desing cant cope with big mistakes made in general shape of the knife

[@joex]

yes!

[@rickboz4494]

The handle does look a bit sketchy, but should hold up well clearing brush, small branches and light batoning (on wood)

[@cvalswockeh2npc1pya82]

The Blade steel is great for a machete, but the flaw in design, the weakspot at the tsuba with the weld. No wonder the Machete broke right there.

This is not unlike special forces guys used to test their knives.There were crazy SOB's doing this shit in the Vietnam war in their spare time because they wanted to know what the best knife was.

true!

[@axistec]

That's a tough blade. Crazy flex. They call it spring steel for a good reason 🤟

[@joex]

yeah, flexomatrix!

[@Zsigmund]

I have this machete and like it, one of my main 'beaters'. I put some glue (i think 3M spray-adhesive) on the handle and worked a section of bicycle inner tube on there. Helped with the grippyness, maybe it helps with vibration too.. Good job converting it into a potato masher! Thanks for the test!! 👀🍺🍻🍺🍺🍺

[@joex]

good idea, cool!

[@zerovalon6243]

Joe I don't know if I've seen you have this much fun in a video for a bit. Launching the knife looked fun and hilarious. Also it's nice to see how right I actually was about the iron rod test

[@joex]

yeah, this was fun for sure, and i did not even cut myself!!!!!!!!

[@drmikeyb1]

@@joex it seems the first time the blade took flight you were oh shit where did it go. I'd be the same way it wouldn't be fun for that to land on you. I'm certainly glad you didn't get hurt.

[@MrKaido93]

Bravo Joe X! In every test that I've seen where you test the Cold Steel Hybrid Sword Knife Machetes, they hold up better than any knives you tested! I have not seen a Cold Steel Machete blade break yet under your "Caring" Hands, Lol. PS. I like the regular older Cold Steel Tanto Machete better than the later Tactical Tanto Machete. Others have also found the older original Tanto Machete to be overall superior to the later Tactical Tanto Machete.

[@joex]

thats kind of the first CS Machete made in Sout Africa which broke like this!

Outstanding video Joe and a badass machete 👍 I believe that this blade is within the top10 best performers of JoeX's DESTRUCTION TESTS I'm going to get the 18" Wakizashi Machete @ $40 Thanks for the video and take good care

These videos are funny and super fun to watch. But I want to remind everyone watching (especially the armchair warriors) no one does stuff like this with their knives in real life. I’ve been carrying fixed blades in the woods all around the US, the deserts (including the Middle East), Central American rain forests and in urban environments. I have many types and even many in CPM 3v. I’ve never had real crazy issues since knjves are used in very specific ways. You typically hit car doors and regular house / commercial building doors with axes, crow bars and breaching tools if you don’t have bypass tools like under door tools or double door tools for covert entry. Knives are for cutting tape, rope, boxes and hitting wood, and other softer materials like flesh and muscle if need be. I’m not hating on these videos. They extremely entertaining but don’t hate on certain steels because he whacked a blade against a metal door or a brick of stone and it screwed up the steel. Of course it did. It will do that to every knife.

[@joex]

i am doing this in real life! cheers!
