      Dr Ergot correct. The original smatchet was/is a great fighting knife. The cold steel smatchet is a thin bladed machete with a blade thickness of 2.8mm & 19.75” long. The Fairbairn Smatchet was only 16.5” with a much thicker blade.

      Dr Ergot I am very disappointed with the cold steel machetes! Lots of very cool/tacticool designs! But the product quality control is pish poor! I bought 2 for short ones for snake dispatching... I cut a green vine the size of my lil finger & rolled the edge over 1/16” . No temper what so ever!

    I own the silky and live in the maine woods and use it to quarter up some pretty hard wood...Its also extremely comfortable and if your looking for a jack of all trades I would recommend the nata...also very durable blade and can be used to de-limb felled trees with very little effort

  • @iandavis3371
    @iandavis3371 5 лет назад +7

    Professionally I use the silky nata. I cut wedges with it and hammer the wedges in with the nata. I cut down brush and tree roots with this knife. I pry stumps. The silky nata is an unstoppable tank of a chopper. Be careful! This is a 2 pound, ten inch long razor.

    I love that blade. Great temper. Rings like a bell when chopping and holds a decent edge

  • @dtt6skeeter

    Skrama is my favorite out of those, but the silky looked great as well! I’ll buy the skrama pretty soon I’m sure. Their puukko is amazing for the price, I use it more often than any other of my knives. So I’m sure the skrama will also be exceptional for the price.

    I love the Skrama. I also like the CS kukri because it's more lightweight and if you only need it for chopping. But if just for chopping I prefer a 10 dollar Tramontina 12 inch latin machete because of the weight. The Skrama is heavier but is more the one tool option because you can carve with it also. I think that extended grip is the key to the success of the Skrama.

    The smatchet chopping performance was better than i expected because it is sold as a machete. Its not going to chop wood or split nearly as well because of the blade profile. I knew the kukri would do well. It was designed for chopping over 100 years ago. You guys should look into trying out a Himalayan Imports kukri. I'm going to Amazon to look for the Silky chopper right now.
