Best Machetes For Brush Clearing

Our recent adventures had us building some mountain bike trails. My boys and I had several machetes out in the field to do some testing, these were our five favorite ones.
All machetes aren't created equal, some are good for grass and green vegetation, some are better suited for woodsy chopping and heavy brush.

Tramontina all day.Its 1075 steel just like the condors but way lighter.The 14 in. bolo version is a monster that you can swing all day no problem.Sometimes when you pay an extra $80 it's just to have the leather sheath and that cool look.

Great video! Not sure why more ppl haven't watched it. Thanks!

[@ericchristopher1687]

Thanks for the very helpful review - you cut to the chase and gave the vital essentials - well done.

[@micahwest5347]

I knew it was a tramontina before you said the name and flashed it to the camera. The metal has a pleasant distinctive ring.

In the British Army in Central America we had the golock the blade is about 11ins long about 1/4 in thick that was the main issue but sometimes we get an 18 version of the Ontario it's been a while I don't remember the exact brand but we were in the rain forest and either of those work great just to clear space to camp at night or cut trail as we go though the thick jungle my only regret was not holding on to the survival MOD issued knife back then I'm still looking for one the Gurkhas had their kukri great original Nepalese made I walked away without getting one of those too that's also on my bucket list I don't think I would be able to buy an FN-FAL rifle like the ones we used so I'll just settle for the knives

I'd say a very good choice. I have 2 or 3 of these mentioned machetes and they are really good, worthy of the money. The bushcraft parang is real beast. Big, sharp and heavy. Made for heavy copping. Be careful with this one, it could cause a nasty injury if accident should happen.

[@paladinhansen137]

I have that same Condor bushcraft parang and its an absolute chopper.

Tramontina machete#1

[@8thcelisabeth]

I appreciate this review. I am looking for a garden machete with a bit of length to chop and drop, cut down brush and old woody plants. This helped me narrow down my considerations. My hands are very small so a grip/guard is a primary concern. Thanks.

Great video and information

[@juanedoses8715]

great review!

[@osbaldohernandez9174]

If you can afford it I definitely recommend that condor it has good weight
But if your on a budget tramontina works really good also but the bolo machete is better

[@williamsmith5521]

Thanks good info😮

[@Avital4414]

Terrific review. Would you recommend the
Tremontina for low, scrubby/twiggy brush? Thanks!

[@alexlamy1271]

Im here also because i need a machete for a mtb trail .. thank you for the video help a lot ..

[@HickLif3]

I know that the kukri is used by the Gurka's as a fighting knife. I have personally seen it decapitate a goat with zero effort, I was deployed and they slaughtered it to eat. Very cool "knife"

[@bdhtubal]

Try a Lagaraw from the Philippines, it's a machete with a curve down hook for brush & vines.

[@danielslater4092]

As far as machetes go Condor tool and knife is my go-to brand

[@SgtRudySmithbRet]

I've broken 2 w/o prying

[@Aztal]

Good content, half the machete reviews on here are computer generated garbage, but this is solid.

[@xisigma]

Cool, please show a few chops with eac.

[@1planters]

The parang looks to be the only one shown heavy enough to cut heavy brush and not just grassy stuff. I've got a custom machete made out of a leaf spring and like that guy says, "it will cut." I wish i knew of a commercial machete that was as heavy and solid as a brush axe.

[@Slimpickins71]

I love my cutlass. My buddy calls it an assault machete. Beast

[@JuaneDosesII-wj6dd]

It all depends

[@borisrodriguez3790]

I used machetes everyday for work tramontina from Brasil is the best. I have 5 Condors and spent lots of money in other brands and nothing matches the tramontina the blade is supposed to be thin and light and for only 20 bucks is the best.

[@drumslayer4792]

Can you do a video using them? Which one can you swing all day and does more of the work

[@travispratt6327]

@@ifishjgja8414 I tried that technique, only a few fingers down and a couple broken windows, I think I’m getting the hang of it though.
