These are the Five big knives I kept

[@nandayane]

“This is my snaking knife, they just show up at my door I use it to kill them” has to be the most Australian use of a knife I’ve heard of.

I like the idea of Pete randomly getting into a life and death fight with a snake while going to get laundry and being so nonchalant about it. Like it’s just part of normal life.

[@nandayane]

Pete is the wranglerstar we need.

[@realbroggo]

Damn. Those shorts just gave me a nasty 70's flashback. Stuff the warning about big knives, you've should issued a public warning regarding the wearing of scoop shorts.

[@dlrmon1]

Pete just needs those knee high socks with matching stripes to complete that 70’s look...lol

[@catey62]

[@johncoursey2582]

Cold Steel Bushman on a dowel seems ideal for snakes. Cheap enough if you chip the edge it doesnt really matter.

[@BjCmeadows]

Love the FPS view! It really effectively demonstrates the LARPing experience we could expect from the item 👍👍

[@dlrmon1]

Save yourself and that beautiful Ericson blade and dig out your old Cold Steel Spetznaz Special Forces Shovel and fit it with an extra long handle... Oh, and uncle Randy wants his shorts back...lol

[@Jake-bt3fc]

I use big knives as “belt machetes” when I walk my dog in the yard and he pulls me into low hanging branches. The dog won’t do that twice after he gets the knife.

[@SteveSeddon]

Thanks Pete, needed that belly laugh at the intro.

[@jackekdahl395]

Ah yes!... You certainly are on your way to your forties when you don't care about using criminally short shorts. I'm one level above though, since I evolved to walking around my property in boxers only...

Good show mate ! I'm more a CS Trailmaster, Weatern W-49, Marine Raider 44 big knife guy. I favor the big Boo' ee knives. I live about 300 miles from where Jim Bowie made his reputation before going to the Alamo. Good show, as always.

[@ArcticGator]

For me my favorite large fixed blade is my kabar kukri machete, for where i am (hardwoods like black oak, ash etc) its the best camp firewood processor, another one is the ontario sp-5, heavy enough with a good span for batoning, but light enough for springy green vegetation, another one i use for yardwork is the cold steel smatchet, good reach and light and thin for green stuff and medium thumb sized greenwood.

[@nandayane]

I have one of those but like the Tereva Scrama instead.

[@kailashblades]

Don't listen to the shorts haters- the pins look great. I think that big knives are underrated by many who see the size and think "I would never be able to use that for anything" and so they buy their 70th folder so that they can put in a drawer to never actually use. They're cool things to have and to enjoy on an aesthetic and experiential level and that should be enough. Big knives also offer unmatched and unique opportunities to get weird and be very nerdy and help many of us blossom into sword owners (final form).

[@mikeboyce21]

Silly Pete, if the snakes are so poisonous just stop eating them. Problem solved 😅.

[@bokusimondesu]

The early eighties called, want their shorts back 😅 Snakes do justify a comically long big blade! No, I'm not good with them.

[@CosmicJhana444]

That Cold Steel Frontier Bowie looks more like a trusty short sword.

[@achimgeist5185]

My 5 largest knives: Bark River Ja-Nap and Bravo 3, TOPS El Chete, Fällkniven Moderne Bowie and Thor. Unfortunately, I rarely get the opportunity to use knives of this size.

Snake knife or the BK??? Probably both. One for each hand! Pete, please think about making another episode of Dickhead Survival = )

[@gregtomamichel973]

@channelwonnews4322 once again I also vote in favor of another Dickhead Survival. Don't know why my first reply isn't here.

[@jusme8060]

The big brother is a surprisingly great chopper

[@MB-jg4tr]

For the price the 12" tramontina machete is one of the best large "knife" purchases I've made. No need for sharpening stones if you're simply hacking brush, just use a fine/medium file to sharpen. Though if you want to put a fine edge on it you can quite easily.

[@nandayane]

I love the 14” bolo

[@elementjoe]

Terava Skrama 240 from Verusteleka for the win. Trust me, worth every penny.

[@insanogeddon]

Best snake killer is long and flexible but not floppy. A "stick" made of wire (like a giant long reinforced paperclip) works well and folds up to fit under a 4WD seat. Round the house a bamboo pole works and looks very ordinary leaning up against the back of a door. Spades, axes, aren't fast and accurate enough if they try something.

[@Atheistbatman]

Have you tried mini Duku from Condor? Im a horticulturist and it is my main non digging tool. It cleans up over growth big and small. The duku and cold steel large trench shovel are my main garden tools

[@Greg_M308]

I can't unsee those legs. Thanks.

[@martinerhard8447]

You need to try a knife by UG Tools. They are really very unqiue with titanium 3D printed handles

[@Cz82]

Yeah i had to split a couple 9in diameter stumps to justify my skrama (it was free wood)

[@edwardfletcher7790]

It's REALLY difficult to find knives like this at a reasonable price in Australia !! I was VERY lucky to get a Tramontina from Amazon AU when they were still available. Fantastic value for AU$24 !! Damn we get reamed on prices, the BK9 is AU$370 and the Cold steel Frontier Bowie is AU$280 😮😮😮 Nov 2024 AU$100 = US$64.50 So come visit Australia if you're American, it's cheaper than Canada !!

[@waterofsouls7639]

kewl! because it's fun! i like the "kabar cutlass machete"; i would prefer a scabbard like sheath for it, i prefer to simply drop the knife into the sheath.

[@anthonyanderson5310]

I feel like you'd like the kabar zomstro it's just a big hunk of steel very fun

[@JaeHc]

Have you considered a Cold Steel Tiger Fork that's been slightly cut down to deal with snakes ?

[@Tregrense]

Fantastic introduction. Hilariously spot on.

[@jkirschy]

Pete, ideally you'd use a shotgun for dispatching snakes that get too close to the house, barn, or coop. A shovel is better than a knife, but you still have to get pretty close. Of course we don't always find ourselves in ideal situations so eh... As for the big knives... 😁

[@JCOwens-zq6fd]

You need to get yourself a good persian Qaddarre. I prefer the double edged Qame personally but you'd probably like the singpe edged Qaddarre better. They are pretty badass, they are ancient in their design & they usually have inasane levels of fullering on the blade.

[@krazmokramer]

The Arnold Palmer of knives???

[@EDCandLace]

Poisonous and venomous are two very different things.

[@Darrenski]

I knew I'd find that comment somewhere in this thread. The best thing, in this case, is to describe in which ways dying from either really differs. I think venom might edge it on speed, but the outcome will be about the same.

[@malapropism27-ob2tk]

Have actually killed a snake with a KaBar in Australia but under a log and in winter so slow.

[@nato1405]

No terava skrama?

[@webderek]

Unrelated question: what is the least expensive kitchen knife that is made from a high quality durable (super?) steel? And which of these is your favorite kitchen knife? I just want one kitchen knife, probably a santoku, that has a high quality steel and a reliable heat treatment. But I don’t want to spend more than $100 on it. Should I just order a knife blank and make my own, like Alex at Outdoors55? I think I’ve seen him cut the shape with a grinder and do the heat treatment in his kitchen oven. 🤓

[@Pablo668]

[@choshim.]

the FPS views are appreciated. I would doubly appreciate a stabby stab and an inspect animation.

[@Probeionic]

Australian snake control/dispatch requires a Howitzer, at the minimum.

[@catey62]

Yep, and they also come in handy for those Huntsman spiders as well..though a flamethrower also works well on them...lol

[@raphlvlogs271]

(keep my style simple, keep my method primal) thats how I describe those who prefer machetes over electric/ powered trimmers as tools

It’s hilarious when you buy a diesel truck how many anti-truck people end up asking you for help. “Hey, Jake can you help me move?” “Hey Jake, can you help me get rid of this old piano?” “Hey Jake, can you help me get this elliptical to the house?” I love telling those people I’m busy.

[@muskett4108]

You never kept the Skrama 240. That is my "go to" big blade now, and I have had a few big chopper style knives over the years. BK9 is a beater rather than a cutter. And the last that hatchet billhook big power bruiser. They have their place but lack finesse; truck tools that rarely find much work because either a small knife or an axe would be better. I note no long thin machete. Some places they are the best. If they are ring dinging then the jobs too much, and get something stiffer like a skrama or if proper hard wood an axe or saw.

[@Yungtskt]

Was about to make the same comment, Terävä Skrama is pretty amazing for small machete work. My go to for a lot of small limb chopping things. Doesn't really break the bank to get one either.
