Machetes are supposed to be top heavy. They're made for chopping, and the extra metal on the end is supposed to make it easier to chop.

[@ferespinoza8053]

No, the machetea are not heavy, they have the pop very in front which is different. An 18"/22" machete should not exceed 500 grams) 1 pound approx.

Holy cow, look at the gouges in the edge of the Coleman after the second chop test. That is garbage quality steel. The most important factor when determining how good a machete is, is not how sharp of an edge you can put on it, but how long will it hold the edge after being sharpened.

The Gordon or harbor freight one probably cut the bottles the best because it is so thin. It also probably dulls the fastest. Remember machetes aren't supposed to be very sharp because they don't need to be very sharp to cut through green plants, and if they are too sharp they roll the edge and dull quickly on thicker branches that you also have to cut through. I would assume the Fiskars is the best option for actual use.

[@napalmballwipes]

[@Mrguccigarcia]

I can agree on the fiskars, I’ve had the same one for over 5+ years probably more it’s been round since I was a kid, we have never sharpened it, although I probably should, but it never fails, and hasn’t slowed down through all the cutting we use it for, and we use it mostly for cutting thicker palm branches in half to fit in our trash can👍🏻

[@jameswhite4709]

The angle you chop it is extremely important. You're cutting less fibers at one time and they slice like butter. At a side to side angle, you're essentially trying to cut them all at once. It's the same concept as ripping a phone book in half. You don't rip the book. It's each page at once but one page at a time.

[@generalkayoss7347]

Yep, cutting at a 45 degree angle definitely works better than going in at 90 degrees.

[@scotterdog100]

Machetes are sharpened for cutting the material they are used to cut. Most machetes will have a more blunt edge on them for cutting light brush and small branches. This will give increased durability and maintain an edge for longer. An extremely sharp machete will lose its edge much quicker than a slightly duller one.

[@Tiralful]

Came here to say this, they have come to a 40-50 degree edge vs a knife with a 30-36 degree edge. If it was 30-35 degrees it would chip and roll the edge making it incredibly crappy. It has a utility edge for going through really dense stuff.

Go to Lowes and get a Tramontina machete for $20 and you can use it forever. It is a standard bush style blade made of 1750 I am pretty sure so it holds an edge well and has served me well for years. Makes a great gift too.

[@rantingfatman4555]

Technique is the most important part. Where your knuckles are pointed is where the edge is pointed, and the weight of the blade is what's meant to carry it through (so hitting with the widest blade section is key). If your grip is wrong, aim is off, or your knuckle alignment is wrong the blade will twist and skip off. I have that same Fiskars machete, and I've gotten clean cuts through 2-3 inch branches in a single swing. Thing has lasted about 6 years for me so far, and I have beaten the crap out of it on more than a few occasions.

[@k992-o6r]

my main takeaways today have been: - tylertube really needs to work on his edge alignment - he seems to think that edge out of the box is more important than edge retention. in a machete. - he also seems to think that you can just sharpen stuff that's dull asf using the same tools as one would use to sharpen a slightly dull knife. dude, if it can't cut paper, even your coarsest stone is gonna take hours, just use a belt grinder, or a grinding wheel if you have it

A sharpening suggestion I have is to use a flat filer for the machetes. It's a whole lot better because it's meant to file the steel blade. Wet stones won't do much with them. If you use a an angle grinder, a tiger disk(sand paper disk) can polish the edge and sharpen it safely because it won't eat the metal as quickly.

I like tramontina myself. Comes unfinished so you have to sharpen it, but the steel is good and far superior to 3cr options often found in other budget machetes.

I've also seen 3cr ones ruined hitting leftover barbed wire in brush. I haven't checked prices in a while but Ontario used to have a machete in 1095 for right at $20. I got one of them as well, and it's very good as well.

To slice make sure you pull/drag as you swing. When you're chopping go at much sharper angles. Instead of swinging 2 o'clock to 8, try 1 to 7. (Also they're not made to cut processed lumber, like that board growing in your backyard, that's much more difficult.)

[@alle2740]

I'm amazed he made it out of childhood with all his fingers if he had machetes then.

[@martinhafner2201]

Most axes and large choppers arrive with marginal edges. I gather the assumption is that the user probably wants to customize the edge profile anyway, so provide them with a basic grind but leave it to them to finish the edge their way. I know that is what I prefer. I will tend to put at least a small convex edge on any chopper that needs good chip ejection. There is no reason to get a big chopper when you can't sharpen. If you use it hard, it will need sharpening in just a few hours. These are typically in non-super steels to avoid chipping so the edge wears a little quicker. Only a few super steels are highly durable, such as CPM 3V. I don't personally know anyone who can afford an axe or machete in 3V. Also, testing machetes based on the factory edge doesn't answer any of the questions that I have about the machete. Once you put a decent edge on it, the tests start to provide me information that matters. How long does the good edge last? Does it roll? Does it chip? Does it sharpen fairly easily/well? Some of the tests would show whether the blade geometry is useful : Does it chop well? Does it slice brush well? Does it eject chips well or does it stick? Does it de-limb a trunk well? One of the big questions on cheap machetes is whether the heat treat is consistent and safe. Many of the HF machetes have been known to break when used hard, often throwing a big chunk sharp steel at you. I can understand that a light, long machete is meant for grass and light brush, but I still don't want to get injured if it ever hits something bigger/tougher.

I deleted the comment previously to wait until the end of the video, to give benefit of doubt. But the Harbor Freight one has a separate saw blade for branches and trees, probably to compensate for the issues with the blade trying to chop through it. I bet if that were used on the 2x4, it would go right through easily without bending. That's why they can make it thin enough to be so inexpensive. Use the blade for bushes and vines, the saw for the trees.

I'm a blacksmith in alaska where decent, known steel is only available online or through buying some other product that incorporates that steel. and if I need 18-ish inch sheets of fairly decent steel, be it for springs, hooks, daggers, etc., there's a store in town that sells some really quite decent "classic coleman walmart machetes" for $12, and with a few days of work, I can make a half dozen $50 knives from a single one. heck I took one of those things, replaced the handle with a 12" length of ash wood, sharpened it properly, and now it's my go-to bushcraft machete

Just a few things. When testing the ability of cutlery to chop, lay the wood down so it won't split, is solid and you ll show performance of a full cross grain cut. Fiskars machete was probably so dull to make it more affordable with best materials out of the 3. The cheapest one was the best "slicer" since it was the thinnest and glides through material easy because of that. Sharpening the Fiskars would probably yield best performance out of all of them.
