CONDOR WASTELANDER MACHETE - DESTRUCTION TEST - UNTIL IT BREAKS - MACHETE TEST EXTREME - WASTE IT

[@jeremyhume5563]

I'm not going to lie, this was an incredible video. I never knew about this machete. The design of it is amazing, especially the angled handle. You ran it through hell, something far more extreme than what I would ever use it for. You 100% just sold me on this. I'm going to buy it. And I'm going to tell others about this video. My mouth was open watching the entire thing. I can't believe it didn't break. This is a very effective way of just showing the world exactly what can hold up and what can't.

[@joex]

thanks a lot, not many know this machete or my video!!! but it is an awesome tool!!

[@流浪澳洲]

have you watched the makara video ? it also did not break

[@swannybo1sk8s9]

Glad you got your channel restored you are a gold mine for finding all the good things found your channel trying to research the esee 6 right before your channel had its issues great vid as always thanks Joe

[@joex]

thanks a lot!!!!

[@The_jungle_boy]

With traveling and visiting tribes a lot I need something tough, this really sparks my interest. Thanks man.

[@joex]

u are welcome, take care in the jungle!!!

[@Ve-suvius]

It did fairly well. The heat treat on the 1075 is quite good. 1095 is really not a good choice for long blades. The handle scales getting loose is expected. It nearly always happens with extensive use. Look at these machete's in third world countries. They are often wrapped due to loosening. Epoxy holds up until a point.

[@joex]

yes!

[@sifusasdo2314]

Cool Video 👍 After Ur tests I allready ordered the Tops Silent Hero and now also the Wastelander

[@joex]

cool! you won't regret it!

[@matthewgerlach3056]

Awesome video as per usual! Don’t forget about the BK-2 ;) I’d love to see you break it! Haha

[@joex]

thanks, we will see about the BK2!!

[@usher_jh]

first time i see nothing break on this channel GS

[@joex]

ok!

[@concealmenttraining9371]

I like this blade.

[@joex]

yeah, lightweight and durable!

[@Tohfool]

Much love brother. Hope to see you review the Condor moonshiner in the future

[@joex]

thanks a lot!!!

[@forestmantis1737]

Great review and seems to me as one of the great choices of short, but tough (thick) machetes. Have a great time:-) FM

[@joex]

yes this one is cool, you too, cheers!

[@theWZZA]

Can you test the Cold Steel True Flight Thrower? I think it will do very well.

[@hildolfrdraugadrottin7279]

I'm impressed. That's one tough machete. I don't have any Condor stuff but after watching this I may buy one eventually. They do have a lot of interesting looking machetes. Another great video and test!

[@joex]

thanks, yes, condor has a lot of different machetes!!

[@buckwild6587]

Knife companies fear Joe X

[@Lex_Grin]

Excellent tests 💪💪💪 Powerful machete, I like the pillar test the most, the recoil from it is very hard in the hand and the handle could not stand it !

[@joex]

yes thats true, very effective test!!

You sir, are a hero.

[@joex]

thanks my friend, but i am not!!!

[@francobarraza7247]

Can you do sog seal strike fixed blade knife

[@joex]

at the moment i can't, but maybe in the future!!

[@budthecyborg4575]

So far it looks like 1075 steel is generally indestructible in human hands, whereas every example of 1095 we've seen snaps fairly easily with impact on the poll. Companies like Becker should definitely explore using 1085, it would be interesting to see if just a 0.1% reduction in carbon content would make a BK9 survive these tests.

[@joex]

yes i totally agree, i don't know why those companies won't try it!!

[@dingyudingy6848]

low hardness and low carbon content play big roles on toughness of machetes.

[@Ve-suvius]

People over-value edge retention, that's probably why. I see comments like "I want S30V in that chopper". Yeah sure: PING ! 1.45% carbon. No thanks. In a chopper toughness is way more important than edge retention. Sharpening up a blade is easy. Welding a broken blade... nah..

[@concealmenttraining9371]

@@Ve-suvius companies are under pressure from the masses to give them what they want, thats why you see steels like S35VN in hard use blades.

[@Ve-suvius]

@@concealmenttraining9371 Yeah the supersteel snobs. Lots of them on Bladeforums. And then they learn they chip also. But all they care about is edge retention. Totally silly. And it drives the prices up because of them.

[@hehehaha2765]

Nice. I have a condor makara, and was hesitant to buy more condors because people say they have a QC issue. Glad that this one pass the test as well.

[@joex]

i made a MAKARA video already, check it out!!! Condors are awesome machetes!

[@Ve-suvius]

Most Condors I had , had the heat treat well done. Tough blades. The Bushcraft Parang was my favorite.

[@joevincer8337]

I'd love to see you demo the Condor warlock machete and Condor K-tact kukri in future if humanly possible 😉

[@GuyInAHotdogSuit69]

Wow these machetes can take a beating. I already had a few Cold Steels but this makes me want to invest in either this one or the ESEE Darien machete (same manufacturer and materials). The Darien seems like a smaller version of this one that's covered by the ESEE warranty so I think I'll go with that one. Thanks for the tests as always, you're helping a lot of people choose what tpo buy.

[@joex]

thanks! glad to help! i think the ESEE Darien is worth to invest too! maybe i will buy one in the future!!

[@GuyInAHotdogSuit69]

@@joex Awesome man, I'll look forward to the test!

[@greekveteran2715]

Brother, which machetes chop deeper,Condor or Cold Steel? Also, which knives are you favorite?! Thanks in advance

[@joex]

i would say, they are exactly the same choppers, just the Condors are more fancier and a better handle!!! Knives, ESPADA L, VOYAGER TANTO XL

thanks Mr. Atom!!

[@adammcguinness9950]

That’s a beast! It did better than the TOPS 7 you just reviewed. The handle is easily fixed. The main thing is that the blade survived. Condor 1075 is pretty good.

[@joex]

yes, i like the wastelander! cool blade!

[@frangouchc943]

Ever consider testing the Condor K-Tact Kukri?

no, not really, sorry!

Sir, according to your experience would you like to rank the top 3 strongest folding knives, fixed blades and machetes? It will be very interesting!!!

@@sonik382 will do, for sure!!

[@Ve-suvius]

The Tops Silent Hero did extremely well. The edge was very tough.

[@daveandmerlin]

Hopefully you recycle all your wreck blades and not just chuck em in the bin . Another great video and shows just how tough Condor blades are that wastelander has a 3 ...3.5 mm blade stock which is pretty thin and still done really well.

[@joex]

yes, lightweight efffective indestructable chopper!! and a nice Kydex!
