That is a beast of a blade and you are one smooth operator with it my brother, I just love how it chews through what ever you put in front of it.

Better than grandads garden machete for sure

Can you defend yourself with a sharpened piece of steel.YES! That was great. Subscribed. Thanks for the content.

[@DonnieBAllDay]

Some people ask dumb questions. Haha

[@viseshseernam39]

this is supposed to replaced their lite machete which is vey thin and was razor sharp but the edge tended to chip and this has a more durable edge I see no edge damage or edge roll

[@DonnieBAllDay]

@@viseshseernam39 none. Its a great blade

This thing is great! The ESEE quality without the price!

[@DonnieBAllDay]

Esee design, but made by Condor. Soooo.... Condor quality with Condor price? Haha

[@TheShredderKnifeReviews]

@@DonnieBAllDay haha okay fair enough 😂

[@doomsdaymachine619]

ESEE's are a beast. Expensive, but nice. I go the cheaper Condor knives for my budget. I do love the ESEE though. That would make a good shelter maker

[@DonnieBAllDay]

This one is made by Condor with a great price

[@stefanklaus1652]

I allways smile when they ask if you can use this or that for self defense, cause in my mind everything an I mean everything is a weapon if you know how to use it !! Condor makes great knifes and this is no exception, stay save brother ❤️

DBAD good job on the history of the esee machete, I have the Lite machete which has been discontinued. Made in El Salvador, handle made in USA . There are a few around if you look hard.The thing is like a giant razor blade.

Next years Carnival I'll put on my Jason suit and mask and one of this machetes. The rest of the time I'll use it for clearing brushes around my fishing pond in the woods. Or other machete stuff. #22aday Stay safe everybody, and stay blessed. Greetings from Germany!

Awesome thank you!

[@faceinthecrowd5810]

Got mine yesterday and was excited to give it a test. From all I saw on the internet this machete looked perfect for the MTB trail maintenance work I wanted to do. So once in my hands….looks great! Yes the sheath is basic and the snap clip does not have to be undone to pull out the blade but I can live with that. So today I went to the trails I work on and thinned out some saplings, cut back some small branches and after maybe an hour of on and off mild labor the blade has several large chips and some smaller rolls. Damn that is a disappointment. I have two choices, one is return it and see if the next one has a better toughness, the other is to reprofile the chips out and sharpen. Anyone else had chipping issues? This does have the Esee guarantee?

[@DonnieBAllDay]

That's insane! I have still yet to have an issue. Contact Esee. Lifetime no questions asked warranty

[@shroomsrus5116]

I've got a couple chips in my esee liberertriat but not from timber, shit isn't normal. Id send her back

If you plan on using it for more tasks, no. But if its for just brush clearing, yes.

[@wyatthines153]

looks like a pretty solid blade but that pistol grip handle is tricky really needs to be thinned out towards the blade so that its not as wide as it is thick and make it not a rounded handle

[@DonnieBAllDay]

I might give it a touch more contouring

I got a Gerber machete I bought years ago that really really sucks it turned me off the Gerber for a long time. I have been thinking about replacing it with a Khukuri I like that type a machete better do you know any good ones?

[@DonnieBAllDay]

This thing would make you happy. So would the Cold Steel stuff. I you want to spend a little extra, The Khukuri House sells long kukris that tear through anything.
