You make me a tad bit envious. I have a debilitating back injury that prevents me from doing fun stuff like this anymore. Thanks for taking us along for the good time .

The 12" makes a good shoulder ryder machete knife. for boat or shore fishing - lops off heads and fins like a champ, fillets nicely, If you 90 degree your spine well it makes for a really good scaler. slices thru vines, and snags. my handle got loose so I wrapped a bunch of wet jute twine on the handle - let it dry, flamed it, then epoxied it and sanded. Now its perfect!

I just just bought a Condor Golok for my son, and based on your years of survey using a Tramontina bought one as well. Back in 1972 when I was a civil engineering co-op student in collage I used a heavy bush hook provided by my party chief to clear the way in the woods. Also, back then we only used a slide rule for all land surveying math calculations. Those were the good all days. As a final note you, and the former cop turned KZbinr “Donut Operator” could pass as twins, right down to mannerisms and voice !!

[@soloproject99]

That’s awesome!! I just recently got to try out a condor machete and man are those sheaths nice!! Thank you for being here and I’m definitely going to check out “donut operator”!

I went fatwood hunting a couple of days ago, I cut out a couple of logs that were 10-15kgs each. I thought about that big piece you were carrying around in your car. I lugged them home in the back seat of my car. Fatwood is heavy stuff. You seem like a good person, I like your reviews. I hope whatever you are going through gets better soon.😊

[@soloproject99]

It’s definitely a dense material!! Thanks brother, I appreciate the support!

[@JCOwens-zq6fd]

Nicely done. Hope everything gets better on the home front. God bless.

Hi! Just to be sure, Amazon are selling a Tramontina 12" bush machete. But there is also a Tramontina 14" bush machete. Do I understand correctly that here you are presenting a Tramontina 12" machete but when you measure the blade length (like in the vid where you received it) it's 13.5" ? So you are presenting a Tramontina 12" bush machete ? Thanks for all your videos, they give information and are not boring. Good job!

[@soloproject99]

I’m late to reply here and it’s been a while since I did this video, but I’m pretty sure this was advertised as the 12”. Looking back on my Amazon purchases, it definitely says 14” in the description now. Thank you for being here!!

[@darrinsiberia]

i purchased this as per your recommendation. i bushwhacked sage brush and manzanita in the sierra nevada at about 6k feet elevation. these shrubs had flourished after fire took the hillside. well guess what. the machete didn't do so good. the wooden handle was all loose and wobbly within an hour. it didn't come with a sheath either. i wouldn't recommend it to anybody.

[@soloproject99]

@@darrinsiberia Man, I hate to hear about your experience with tramontina. The brand definitely isn’t known for their handles. Did the steel at least hold up?

[@izskilzix]

Love the videos, Keep em coming Solo

[@soloproject99]

Thanks for your support!!

[@homebizproms]

A real camp knife. How's that for firewood? 😂

[@CSGraves]

Got one of these on the way... looks like another pizza box sheath will be in order!

[@soloproject99]

It’s a good little knife!!

[@pinem56]

I don't normally subscribe to channels, but you're filling a niche I need right now. I'm a geotech that does a fair amount of bushwacking on field recons, and I'm totally digging your reviews of using machetes for what they are meant for. That said, if you lower yourself to making a f'ing feather stick or batoning with a machete, I'm out of here. 😀

[@soloproject99]

Thank you so much for the support!!

[@kevinAuman1]

Mannnn, kills me seeing you just chuck that beautiful piece of fatwood on the ground discarded like that! What I would give for some of this quality! We don't get anything close to that punky around here (Buffalo NY area)

[@soloproject99]

I don’t think I have the space for all of it!! 😂

[@Guardian4080]

This is my fishing machete

[@darrinsiberia]

what kind of sheath did you get for it. everything on amazon seems cheapo.

[@knaz_777_]

Топор.. Только ТОПОР !

[@nikrizwa]

next how about throw the machete.....are those effective when emergency situatuon.

[@soloproject99]

I’ve never thrown a machete but I’m willing to try!!
