  • Tramontina machete modifications that I start as a project over the Christmas holidays. This is my progress so far. Well pleased with the results. Still got a few adjustments to do but, getting there slowly but surely. The tramontina machete along with a good mora knife are all I really need when out in the woods. It’s a great combination and also very cheap into the bargain and this combination is well within most people budgets.

    That is very impressive. You basically created a true ONE TOOL option! Best most thoughtful mods I have seen to. The handle as well - who would have thought? Great Job!

    Over 60 years UKS Rocky mountains, desert SW, and Virginia woodland... and central Texas... this is the best I've seen, and the least expensive. Carry on! PS I am prejudiced favorably by your accent!

    Great video, thanks! But I created a lanyard hole into my machete.
    And I did buy a second machete, and I transformed it (with size reduction) a big buschcraft knife (a bit bowie-like).

    Its amazing what you can do with a tramontina to transform it from a barebones machete to something unique.

    Here in Brazil a tramontina machete can be found for only 25 reais that should give you about 5 dollars, that is to say an excellent price for a great performance, I loved the video congratulations

    looks good, just ordered one to replace my martindale. I am a self employed gardener and needed something to make slashing cuts on bushes, love what you did with the fire steel notch, think I will do that to mine. did you form the sheath in the oven?, I think I will need to make one for mine. All the best from the west country.

      You won’t be disappointed with the blade. With a couple of mods done to it you will have a knife that is a workhorse that will work all day and is cheap into the bargain 👍

    • @easygoingoutdoorse.g.o7342
      @easygoingoutdoorse.g.o7342  4 года назад

      It’s the 14in bolo machetes m8

      Easy Going Outdoors E.G.O you said you cut two inches from it became a 12 inch??

    • @easygoingoutdoorse.g.o7342
      @easygoingoutdoorse.g.o7342  4 года назад

      Approximately m8. Give or take a bit. To get it the right size for myself biomechically if there is such a word. It should be from your fingers tips to the crook of your elbow. I have found this measurement to be the best for my large camp knives and machetes. Anything over this measurement the blades start to become unwieldy in hand when in hard use.

      The original over all blade length was 50.2cm and the blade length was 36.8cm

      Was a 14" bolo but he reduced it by 2" with a straight cut so it is shaped more like a cane machete. I think I'm going to do this too.

    The Brazilians know how to make a blade.
