Great video! Been looking for a good Machete, and now the decision has been made!
Is that downed tree from this past weeks storms? I heard it was worse over your area than in OC.

Ya we got it pretty bad. Lightning strikes downed several trees in the area and the rain and wind downed a lot as well. Let me know when you get it!! You can come out, test it out and we can customize it...

Thanks for the link! I will let you know when it arrives. It does have a similar look to a khukuri, just a shallower angle...
I didn't know you could customize it...

Strip the paint, add a gun blue finish, convex the blade and make it sharp as hell, add more grip to the handle if you like, and then make a kydex sheath for it. Then let you loose on my 20 acres to destroy random trees.

As soon as I order it I will let you know, as well as when it comes in

What is your opinion on the Kopis Machete by Cold Steel?

 

[Roninsensei]

Its a reasonably good machete. It doesn't have the same ability to heavy chop like the jungle machete and is pretty much a fighter. I owned one for about a year and gave it to a friend. He does landscaping and loves it.

Thanks for the quick response.
I was asking as I got an email from Cold Steel and in the email it is going for $9.99.
I would use it primarily in the desert with sage brush and the like.

It'll work

for such horizontal logs, best to turn your back to it, and cut away from yourself. If you do this on both sides, it will require fewer swings, cause you'll not have to cut such a wide kerf.
