Great video! Love that knife shape.

Damn!!! thats NICE!!!

Cool trick with the potato. I used a carbide rounded bur to drill out the hardened part of the one I redid. Those Old Hickory knives are fun to restore and modify.

Too cool! would you do a handle on a vintage butcher knife I have??

The machete in your hand is full-tang.

Nice job 👏

This is a machete. It is used for cutting grass and soft wood. Or, green wood. I live in Panama. We can buy a machete with 12 inch blade for 5 to 6 dollars. The price is the same for all blade lengths. They come with synthetic handles. Its not meant for self defense or cutting hard wood. You buy them dull. Sharpen them using a file. A machete if useful if you live in the tropics where there is a lot of green organic material that has to be cut. In many places people cant afford lawn mowers or weed wackers. They cut the grass with a machete. Typically this tool would not be useful in the US where other tools are used. Also, machetes are generally made using high carbon steel. The blades usually have fairly soft steel so they can be sharpened quickly while working with them. Generally, the worker will have a file with them to keep the machete sharp in the field.

ИЗ РАБОЧЕЙ...МАЧЕТЕ..!!..ПОЛУЧИЛСЯ...НОЖИЧЕК..НА СТЕНКУ...ИЛИ НА КОВЕР...!!!!!!..

Nice handle! If that blade is carbon steel, some cold gun blue would look great. Or, maybe parkerize or black oxide finish it. Then, make a cool scabbard or sheath. 😂

Great job

Nice

Looks amazing.

Nice custom, thanks gor sharing

Nice job.

Dude, awesome job, especially how well the stacked handle came out. I would have made a clip point on the blade, but I have a weird affinity for clip point machetes. I am currently modifying an Ontario Bushcrafter machete, the old model with the 5160 steel instead of 420 or whatever they use now... I have never liked the handle (flat slabs of walnut, no contouring whatsoever) and am attaching a set of scales from an Ontario RTAK II that I replaced with a set from The Knife Connection (I can not recommend their scales enough, they are on almost every Becker, Ontario, and Esee I own). I was waiting on a new set of carbide drill bits since I have worn out most of mine. It shouldn't take me too much longer, then I will attempt a kydex sheath for it. I have made a few kydex sheaths, but for nothing larger than a 4" blade! I am glad I found your channel. You have a new subscriber. Have a marvelous day!

Excellent modifications, I did almost everything you did to mine.. I love the 12" Tramontina. It's really a great size & light weight too... perfect for just about any outdoor chores. Amazon has the sheath that fits this perfectly. Maybe add some preserving oil to the wood. I used mineral oil on mine.

Bro, wtf

It flexes because it is spring tempered steel. This is so it will not take a set when bent.

1st comment for Mark King!

I BET PEOPLE CRINGED WATCHING THIS😂😂😂🥴😏😬😶

YOU DONT EVEN KNOW HOW TO USE THE TOOLS

THIS GUY OFFIALLY RUIND A GOOD THING HIZZAH DWEEB MATE

IT IS FULL TANG YOU DWEEBAZOID 😂😂😂😂

Machetes are meant to have a blunt tip. Because it's always hitting rocks. If it was sharp, it would constantly get bent or chipped....

Музыка пиздец!

Dope AF results, Mark King! Now it needs an equally dope sheath to complete the package!

i miss this tipe of camera quality reminds me when i use to watch youtube videos back in the early years when this app was still in its underground phase where theres still small chanels with interesting content such as this

It is a full tang. Tramontinas are the best affordable latin machetes ever made. Some advice: from the tip, 6" inches back from rhe tip convex your edge.also never use a grinder on a machete they are thin and will overheat fast and ruin the temper, use a file and stone,

Looks like full tang to me.....those three rivets are going through steel.

I would like to see your mod on the tahoma field knife.

Bad ass mod

Pretty sure you're just voiding your warranty

That's a butchers knife.

Looks good

There is no correct way to modify a machete, if at all, as it’s a tool and whatever suits the owner is correct. That machete appears full tang to me. As for the unsharpened tip, that is common with Latin machetes. The purpose is to prevent the tip from cutting through the sheath. I’ve seen this happen. Digging can be part of a machete’s tasks and on my Latin style machetes I sharpened most tips. Not so much for digging but to cut subterrain roots. Having said that, there is a technique of cutting off the tip and sharpening for cutting underground roots with machetes and I’ve also seen Filipino bolos with the same flat tips. I have two Cold Steel machetes made with points. I’ve never had an occasion to use the points in the nearly 20 years I had them but have on several occasions seriously cut myself with the points by looking at my work and wrongly moving my offhand. I’ll list a video below of a man that routinely cuts the tip off and sharpens for digging. He also explains how to hold a machete for digging. I noticed that he uses one hand and I was taught to use both, the offhand for supporting the blade. Sorry you if don’t understand Spanish, in that case just watch. His motions are like poetry in motion. Chao from Costa Rica. ruclips.net/video/jO5UnBXy8uE/видео.html

Also good modification to the blade bro ima do mines like yours

Cheap reliable easy to sharpen

The only mod I'd ever want to do on my Junglas is thinning out and tapering down the tang. Too much unnecessary weight on the back end. Move that balance point out in front of the handle.

Very nice!

Does this also work for on the s35vn model
