ZombieTools should pick up the Super-Khuk as a new design...

[@Thepreppersbunkeroutdoors]

I think that they would do a good job with the design!

[@RhysTucker2603]

I was thinking exactly the same thing!

[@michaelcanning2815]

Nice video! Prescilla stole the show. What an awesome looking blade!

[@BillHalliwell]

G'day Chris, Enjoying this series. Some outstanding blades. A neighbour loaned me his Condor Bush Parang and cripes does that thing chop! An excellent budget chopper. Thanks to you I had some spare Wilson comfort grip spare so I covered the handle for my neighbour and ran it through my WorkSharp. He's really chuffed, says it feels like a new machete altogether!

[@preparedmind101]

There's a lot of "No______" There are thousands of blades out there, I chose 15 (now 18).

[@futuresonex]

Is it just me, or does 'Pricilla' look like it should've been named 'Orcrist'? I don't know; maybe it's a nerd thing. BTW, I'd love to see them make 'Pricilla' out of 1070 or 1075!

[@KincadeCeltoSlav]

How does the Mora Eldriss Hold up to Batoning? XD

[@Veesaki]

The condor was very impressive ! It "sounded" like an axe when you struck wood. Well done !

[@goldbrg74]

I love the look of that schrade. Looks like a lord of the rings sword

[@johnniewalker3134]

Taken from Google, its looks like: "Orcrist" (also called the goblin cleaver) was the weapon acquired by the Dwarf Lord Thorin Oakenshield from the Trolls' lair in The Hobbit. The Orcs (Goblins) called it Biter. The Elves of Gondolin had named it Orcrist and it had killed hundreds of Orcs in its time.

[@nolanmonahan6348]

You should review some knives made by xtreemgear, you can find them all on Amazon, the prices are very low and the materials are great, along with fit and finish, mostly a2, d2, and Damascus steel, they all have awesome mic arts handles and come with nice pouch leather sheaths. They are technically custom knives, but I love mine, I'd love to see some on your channel, I love your channel, keep up what you are doing, take care

[@frankwebster1033]

Great Video.....that Schrade thing looks impressive......

[@scottrowan776]

I think Battle Horse knives should get in contact with Jacob. They could make the super kuklinski 01.

[@Thepreppersbunkeroutdoors]

Battle Horse is a great company managed by a great guy as far as I can tell. :-)

[@davidgau]

Good video I like that new Schrade looking forward to having one of those.

[@feralwoodcraft]

Jeez Chris, you're making my arm tired. Good video my friend, I look forward to the rest. Keep it up!

[@chiefsmashingsmurf2577]

blown elbow, tired hand, sounds like a very lovely day. another early x- mas can not say enough about your stuff Chris you make a dude want to spend his money keep it up. #insidetheshed!

[@backwoods_barbarian4134]

Awesome, I love it when you do videos like this series.

[@christapharious]

"Mysteriously disappeared" AKA gave away or the wife got rid of. lol

[@edgybob1]

Those Condor parangs are hard to beat! I have the village parang and it's quite the chopper also. Great video! Keep'em coming!

[@thelasthuntsmanoutdoors]

The Super Kuk does look like something Tops or Zombie tools would make, as long as Tops doesnt put a stupid ass saw back on it and a shitty nylon sheath.

[@fate603]

Hey Chris love the way you showed the second knife in the video it looked like every time you hit the ash the earth shook if intentional then nice work

[@RB216220]

Yea! Chop that wood. Thumbs up, nice swinging

[@davidkelly1298]

that schmbs can be heard when you swing it.....AWESOME. If it's only $25.00 I am definitely getting one.... maybe two

[@DeadBoysTwo]

Don't get ahead of yourself. We're looking at more between $55-$75 range.

[@Grrxmistress]

I can't wait for the SCHMBS to come out. It's a sexy design, it seems to perform excellently, and if it's gonna be budget-friendly, well that's just all the more reason to pick one up and try it!

[@wheelsgonewild1286]

Looks like ash for the super kuk. I would be interested in following this blade. I love the SCHMBS. It is a budget beast! I want one.

[@gunnerhusnian4375]

awesome! I really want that schmbs whatever Priscilla!

[@JediJunkie247]

And Chris, I hear you on age. I just turned 40, and feel every bit of it.

[@neddmoulton1]

I like that schrade blade and can't wait for it. Tge biggest issue is that people see all the testing done with blades now adays and think they need to use their blades the same way. The testing videos are just that tezt videos. Use the blade as it should be used and it will be fine. Good video Chris

[@phillo1818]

Considering your whacking at unsupported wood with a lot of spring, those blades are really biting deep. Ask the Japanese how important heat treating is to any blade. Keep this up and you'll have to start using your left hand lol...

[@preparedmind101]

+Phill O Oh, that joke is coming tomorrow in part 3.

[@tom_olofsson]

The Parang is also, apparently, good for making punji steaks.

[@bobwampler3387]

This second group is excellent as well. I think the super kuk would be even better as a two handed design. Keep 'em coming.

[@bobwampler3387]

Oh, and if you ever get a chance, try out a Silky Nata for chopping.

[@gruftle]

if Schrade could make the Super Khuk out of 1070 steel and keep all the features and for less than $100 it would an absolute beast

[@Thepreppersbunkeroutdoors]

Idk that they would be able to get the grind as high as it needs to be... but man, that would be epic!

[@LCantwell]

That Super Khuk is like a sharpened sledghammer

[@tmerrick24]

Liking this series so far. That last Schrade is sweet, I'm not a steel snob but more like a steel communist. It's "the people's steel"!

[@michaelfroelich5424]

great vid. cant wait for the next

[@coyotewraps8314]

I like the design and speed of that schrade bullsh-t, I mean schmbs,lol...I got to get me that one for my collection...When do you think they'll be out chris?

[@preparedmind101]

+Rodney Fleeman I emailed Russell at Schrade with that question. Hopefully know tomorrow.

[@TheRealJayGutta]

PREPAREDMIND101 yes, please do let us know. she whistles like a beast. love it!

[@jtyearsley]

I just pronounce "SCHMBS" as "Shimbus". Way easier.

[@BOOSTEDLASER]

I tried 20+ "choppers" ,by far the Bark River Senegal was best.

[@davidlarue2492]

U know what that schrade gets it done, yeah it would be cool if they had 2 options of the blade but I'm sold I'm going to get one

[@Iamjasonallen]

I want that Super Khuk!

[@CavemanOutdoorsMissouri]

I'm getting MBS as soon as it comes out

[@cbr600rrturbo]

like i said that schfbs whatever is the best schrade ive tested

[@preparedmind101]

+Tactical ... After Jess-X you meant to say, right?

[@cbr600rrturbo]

PREPAREDMIND101 oh ya haha

[@charlescollier7217]

Real choppers have curves.

[@Shooter11B]

If 3CRMOV13 is the Chinese equivalent of 440c, I would not hesitate to use it in heavy applications, as long as the heat treat is right on. 440c is an EXCELLENT, tough steel and as you see here. Clearly the Chicom version Schrade is using is also EXCELLENT. So, as always the arm chair steel experts get it wrong. I guess that is what happens when you listen to others instead of going out and getting first hand experience with the product.

[@preparedmind101]

+Steven “Shooter11b” Szabo Heat treat matters! That blade is thick enough to be strong and it has flex, as I demonstrated. Problem is, they also make a few lower end machetes that are thin 3cr that clearly are too brittle. Every once in a while, an end user posts a video to KZbin breaking one. I wish Schrade would not even bother making that stuff. I really like it in the SCAXES because the geometry allows me to get it sharp enough to split the hairs on a mosquitos ass with the Worksharp. They won't hold that edge forever, but I'm not living in the wilderness for a month either. In real world use, if they stay sharp through a weekend, I'm happy. I clean up all my tools before putting them away anyway.

[@Shooter11B]

PREPAREDMIND101 Exactly! Well stated Chris. My gripe with Chinese stainless steel has always been that it was actually too soft as opposed to brittle. I would assume that the really cheap stuff is not 3cr, most like a version of "surgical stainless steel". I have purchased a few Chinese made machete like objects of "stainless steel" just to beat them up and see how they performed and literally all of them end up with heavily dented and warped edges/wavy edges with the occasional large chunk missing from the edge. They seem to work OK in softer woods but as soon as you hit a knot or get some lateral movement on a strike, the edge goes. So, seeing how Schrade prepares their 3cr, in this particular machete, people really should not denigrate the tool for the steel choice as it is CLEARLY tough and durable. As you said, I guess they could make it in M4 and sell it to the five people who could afford it! LOL.

[@robertperkins7082]

Do you have a blooper reel?That would be wicked funny!!

[@preparedmind101]

+Robert Perkins There's one in part 5 I'm debating on whether or not to include....

[@Rob_h_floridaman]

As much of a knife snob as I am, I want one of those SCHMBS's so bad it makes my teeth hurt.

[@viseshseernam39]

I thought you do not like rubber hand

[@msilverhammer]

Oh yeah! Chopocalypse and NFL Sunday football, all on the same day...what could be better! By the way...where the heck are Will, Jessie, and the other nice lady whose name escapes me at the moment? How in the world could they ditch you, and miss Chopocalypse!?? By the way, did I miss it, as it seems that you are not mentioning what type of blade grinds are found on each blade. E,G, Convex, Scandi, Hollow, Flat, Scandi-Vex, etc. I love choppers, but it is amazing that those Silky "Ninja" saws you own would cut through those very large logs in less than half the time, with the a fraction of the calorie expenditure. However, the Schrade Priscilla seems to make really quick work of the smaller limbs, a do the other blades! Well at least you won't have to go to the gym this week. Anyway...thanks... the videos and the time involved in making them are greatly appreciated!

[@josephhendrix6228]

I'm chewing up the fricken tree here. thinks to himself hay that's pretty fun I'm gona do it so more

[@kennethfagerberg1254]

Hello chris..Bushcraft Kunta from Sweden here! I have followed up on youtube a while now and your recordings are always fun and interesting / educational, I bought BK9 thanks to your youtube channel. Now I have pre-booked Bark River / Dark Timber-Grizzly second production then I missed the first. When will you test it? Thanks for the best channel on youtube when it comes to tests of material! greetings from Sweden!

[@preparedmind101]

+Kenneth Fagerberg It'll be in episode 4 of BBOB3. Full review closer to when they are going to be available again.

[@kennethfagerberg1254]

Okay Chris sounds good, I look forward to it, thanks!

[@Forewarned76]

I wanna see you do a one stick fire with that Mora

[@preparedmind101]

+Forewarned76 If I can do it with Jess-X on video, The Mora will be easy.

[@JediJunkie247]

In Schrade I Trust.

[@jeffanders5538]

SWEET!!!

[@blackanchoroutdoors2393]

Loving the series buddy. Now gotta order some new blades hahaha Never a problem in my head but the wife's maybe. 💀

[@gcknives139]

Can you try a traditional bidor parang?

[@timkitzmann1814]

I would like to see that schrade in 1070 like jessX

[@Atro785]

That would be pretty awesome. I'm sure that would make the price point go up probably significantly, but it would still be VERY inexpensive by comparison of most other blades in it's category. Maybe they could offer it in multiple steel options.

[@SLCBushcraft]

I've been trying to find super Kukri for a wile but I can't find one. Hopefully someone will pick it up who can keep the price reasonable

[@brianbender8752]

How would it baton

[@paulwest8192]

No Condor Duku?

[@Hangtimekidd]

When does one can get their hands on this schmbs ?

[@jimspinasbook]

Hey buddy, you seem a little sketched out there. maybe "back away from the coffee pot" or something like that would be good.?

[@jasoncox6058]

Great stuff! Any idea how to get a custom Pricilla?

[@preparedmind101]

Talk to Josh Waggoner.

[@brianmccann666]

PREPAREDMIND101 ... Josh should talk to ZombieTools about making a pricy version...

[@DeadBoysTwo]

Technically speaking you can't. Schrade owns the rights to this design and I can get in legal trouble for reproducing and selling it. You can get a Priscilla-like blade, but not a custom Priscilla.

[@adamnitro3377]

What, no Schrade bolo?

[@Luso308]

Silky Gomboy 240: Faster, lighter, cheaper, safer. Maybe not as fun. IMHO, chopping makes no sense in a hardwood forest. A leuku for delimbing is enough.

[@preparedmind101]

+Pedro Marcos ... And saws make no sense in a video series about choppers....

[@Luso308]

Indeed it would not make any sense in your video. My comment is due to the visible effort applied to achieve a goal. In that regard, I don´t see how any of your choppers would be efficient in cutting anything above, say 50mm 2"? And if you intend to chop that stuff wouldn´t a BK9 more than enough? Would a BK7 or a Falkniven A1 be enough for that? In my experience I can delimb 1 1/2" limbs with a Cold Steel Bushman. My question is not regarding your video or your choice of choppers but the relative value of that tool, judging from personal experience and from your own effort (you loose your breath too quickly). In my opinion the kind of choppers you have are a niche tool that I fail to fathom. Since you have a wonderful blade arsenal, you probably could do a efectiveness video regarding weight tool, versatility and ease of use. "How long and how heavy must be the blade to achieve a realistic goal?". But if your goal is just to have fun, by all means, go and chop to your heart´s content.

[@Luso308]

Idiot is your mother, sir.

[@chasechenoweth7112]

I bought an schf37 that chopped well but was crooked at the blade- didn't make a difference but drove my knife OCD crazy so I gave it to my brother. Are there any other Schrade models in particular to avoid?

[@preparedmind101]

+Chase Outdoor And More That's the big one. It's a cursed model.

[@charleslarson3152]

BIG thumbs up! And it seems to me that Priscilla is the meanest bitch on the block today. Price = performance = over all value. Seeing is believing. Hands down winner for me. Great series Chris...really great!! Thanks!

[@masgreybeard4105]

I currently own (and really like) the SCHKM1, which I recall you having mixed feelings about until you were able to really dial in the edge. Having used both, would it be fair to say that the 'Pricilla' is a significantly better chopper over the SCHKM1 or do they behave much differently from each other? Considering the price point, I am most likely going to get one as soon as they come out, but just curious on your opinion between the two of them.

[@preparedmind101]

Christopher Tuttle The MBS has much more of a "knife/sword grind" where the KM1 is more of a flat machete. So yeah... it'll outperform it by a wide margin.

[@Nuntius81M]

haha I'm from Sweden and the name "super Khuk" does not seem quite serious. Skip The h

[@papaschuette]

Congrats on your verification check. Nice blue highlight for your name. I still think Zombie Tools should've called that the Beaver Cleaver. Cuz that thing chews through some wood. I'm sure there are copyright issues but who cares.

[@preparedmind101]

+papaschuette It just showed up one day. Don't even know the requirements or how it happened. I assumed it was some new kind of Twitter like verified thing. Sure my network had something to do with it.

[@littlewoody5539]

Nice video Chris go trump !

[@imbadwrench]

LOL @The Lorax

[@semdijkstra9784]

do you still have a discord machete?

[@nighthawk_s5504]

hey chris what is that knife flip you do called?

[@preparedmind101]

+The Steel City Prepper It's just rotating the wrist quickly. In slow motion it doesn't look special.
