Brother, a little advice for you. It's a latin style machete with a good temper for vegetation. Soon as you start hitting dried hardwood it will bend that edge. The Marbles machetes are made by Imacasa so they are definitely a quality machete.

Thank you for the advice and thank you for being here! I understand that Latin machetes are not intended for hardwood or heavy duty but I want to show the limitations of each blade. I absolutely agree that marbles and Imacasa are quality cutting tools! Thank you again!!

I’ll stick with the Tramontina brand I bought that you recommended which caused me to subscribe long time ago. $20 for a 18” blade. Also bought the Condor Golok 14” Beautiful & beefy, but pricey ! You are definitely the “go to guy” when shopping for machetes, and extremely interesting to watch !!

Thanks for being here! I’ll never let my tramontina go but I do enjoy making these videos! One day I’ll pull the trigger on that golok😂

🤣🤣🤣 That's exactly what I was doing today. 5 acre town lot with about a dozen pins. Half on a built right of way and the back line not more than 150ft from the road. All Hawthorn, Himalayan blackberry and poison oak. It's always the last lot in a subdivision that they let grow up for 20 years🤦Close to the truck but steep with a metal detector, shovel, range pole, 100ft tape and the only thing that got me through was... The Tramontina!!!! No gloves, Lots of opportunities to check the blood sugar🤣

And I remembered your video on the tramontina where you said, “always get the long one!”

Nice test. After sharpening it seems to be OK 🙂

You need to put a convex grind on that lawn sword. Use an old mouse pad and 1200 grit sand paper . Use it like a strop. SMKW sells em with a sheath with pockets for essentials.

Ps you can roll a factory edge on a tramontina in the first swing on a dead witch hazel. It's all about the home grind🍻

I think I got a dodgey Tramontina. A 22” with plastic handle. I was wondering why it only had a barcode and no Tramontina sticker on the blade. First red flag. I got it dirt cheap, second red flag. I just got back from the park, a gumtree dropped a limb so I went to section it up. It was green wood, my blade rolled, twisted and bent. It’s either got a crappy heat treat or it’s not a genuine Tramontina. I’m bummed out. The timber I was cutting wasn’t even fatwood hard. The main part that I used on the machete looks like a crinkle cut potato chip.🥲 The old man in the chairs voice was ringing through my head…”Don’t you got that knife with that hammer! Don’t you do it!!!!” I did it.😂

😂😂 we’re you able to bend it back out straight???

@adammcguinness9950 Жыл бұрын

Not quite. I did roughly straighten the first roll.(cold forged)😂 I wish I could share photos on here. It developed two more rolls on the second use. It’s not as soft as that Rothco machete you had but it’s soft for Tramontina standards.
