The Gordon or harbor freight one probably cut the bottles the best because it is so thin. It also probably dulls the fastest. Remember machetes aren't supposed to be very sharp because they don't need to be very sharp to cut through green plants, and if they are too sharp they roll the edge and dull quickly on thicker branches that you also have to cut through. I would assume the Fiskars is the best option for actual use.
I can agree on the fiskars, I’ve had the same one for over 5+ years probably more it’s been round since I was a kid, we have never sharpened it, although I probably should, but it never fails, and hasn’t slowed down through all the cutting we use it for, and we use it mostly for cutting thicker palm branches in half to fit in our trash can👍🏻
i had one of the harbor freigh one when i was yonger playing in the woods. its not that bad. the only problem is that the handle at the time i had it did come apart but that took over three years for that to realy happen
Before finishing the video I just want to say I have been absolutely satisfied by every Fiskars product I've purchased. Axe, Hatchet, Cultivator, Scissors. They make good stuff.
Holy cow, look at the gouges in the edge of the Coleman after the second chop test. That is garbage quality steel. The most important factor when determining how good a machete is, is not how sharp of an edge you can put on it, but how long will it hold the edge after being sharpened.

My 2 favorites machete brands for real good quality and a $20 budget are: -Tramontina; made in Brasil and really used hours a day by real worker to cut sugar canne. - 32 Dumas-ainé (that you may pronounce « trant-dou duma-haynee » 😅). Come from Frenche West Indies. A little more pricy, but real good steel.
I agree, for cutting sugarcane and trail clearing of vines, creepers and thin tree trunks about 1". All else, break out the hatchet and be prepared to go up to the tree ax.
@@thedeaderer8791 No, until relatively recently Tramontina's blades were of deplorable quality, currently they are good machetes but there are better options.
"Fiskars" is a well known brand from Finland. they have most things that are used in a garden. Axes, rakes, secateurs, rakes, shovels, shovels and more
My dad always owned Fiskar loppers and sheers. They have I think a lifetime warranty. He owns a large landscaping company but those Fiskars don't leave his truck lol.
The angle you chop it is extremely important. You're cutting less fibers at one time and they slice like butter. At a side to side angle, you're essentially trying to cut them all at once. It's the same concept as ripping a phone book in half. You don't rip the book. It's each page at once but one page at a time.
that Coleman with the green cloth cover thing is like the one I got as a kid. I remember getting them from a hardware store me and my brother they were like 6 bucks.
Machetes are sharpened for cutting the material they are used to cut. Most machetes will have a more blunt edge on them for cutting light brush and small branches. This will give increased durability and maintain an edge for longer. An extremely sharp machete will lose its edge much quicker than a slightly duller one.
Came here to say this, they have come to a 40-50 degree edge vs a knife with a 30-36 degree edge. If it was 30-35 degrees it would chip and roll the edge making it incredibly crappy. It has a utility edge for going through really dense stuff.
I think it depends on the region you’re raised in. I’m from Minnesota so I went through tons of Fellet knives as a kid. If he had machetes, I’m guessing he played around swampy marsh areas as a kid
Never even struck me as being odd, I was also raised in a small town and entire summers were spent down at the creek hacking at different stuff.. or blowing up stuff with giant fire crackers..I kinda feel sorry for the kids that didn't. LOL
Well... Me. I still own the buck knife i was given as a child. The machete disappeared as some point (probably when moving house at one point or another).
Technique is the most important part. Where your knuckles are pointed is where the edge is pointed, and the weight of the blade is what's meant to carry it through (so hitting with the widest blade section is key). If your grip is wrong, aim is off, or your knuckle alignment is wrong the blade will twist and skip off. I have that same Fiskars machete, and I've gotten clean cuts through 2-3 inch branches in a single swing. Thing has lasted about 6 years for me so far, and I have beaten the crap out of it on more than a few occasions.
my main takeaways today have been: - tylertube really needs to work on his edge alignment - he seems to think that edge out of the box is more important than edge retention. in a machete. - he also seems to think that you can just sharpen stuff that's dull asf using the same tools as one would use to sharpen a slightly dull knife. dude, if it can't cut paper, even your coarsest stone is gonna take hours, just use a belt grinder, or a grinding wheel if you have it
Go to Lowes and get a Tramontina machete for $20 and you can use it forever. It is a standard bush style blade made of 1750 I am pretty sure so it holds an edge well and has served me well for years. Makes a great gift too.
I have spent 20 years working on brush control for electric companies! We used machetes to hack into trees and squirt our herbicide solution! I have used just about every machete that is out there! The Ontario Knife company has the best there is!! We actually sharpen them razor sharp! Onto machete’s last! They hold their sharpness, don’t bend and have the perfect weight! I’m retired now, but the last machete I bought was around $18.
tyler for $20 or less you could get a cold steel machete there's a ton of designs to choose from but I've had the kukri , magnum kukri and heavy machete for years . i chop down pine trees with the kukri I personally would have liked to have seen you compare it to something closer to that or even gerber who offers machetes in the area of $20 the one you chose looks like what i bought from farmers markets / flea markets for $5 as a teenager
I still have a sugar cane machete that my grandpa bought in 1974. The edge is slightly concave now from 40+ years of sharpening, but he always kept a coat of grease on it and hit it with the occasional rust pad to keep the pitting away, so it's still in surprisingly good condition overall.
Tramontina sells their machetes at Lowes for $20. The sheathe is pretty good too. Gerber also sells their Gerber Gator Jr machetes for about $20ish, however I don't know enough of their quality in comparison to these.
Swinging a machete is an art...my hubby is a surveyor and clears property lines with one. I can try for hours and he can do it in one swing. He says it's a balance of stiffness and sharpness for a GOOD machete. Plus knowing how to swing, kind for like throwing an axe or knife.
you should try THE, technique, you know, first you go like this, spin around, STOP, double take three times, 1, 2, 3, and PELVIC THRUST, "WOO" "WOO" stop on your right foot DONT FORGET IT! now its time to bring it around town, BRING IT AROUND TOWN. then you do this, then this, then this and that and this and that and THEN you can cut the rope twice in a row. Thank me later.
here in brazil, we can get a good "tramontina" machete for 40BRL ( around 8 dollars) , these machetes are no joke, you can buy one and have it for the rest of your life
I've owned probably 6 machetes and the last one I bought and the only one I will buy in the future is Marbles brand machete, they are under 20 dollars and they come razor sharp out of the box. They are also extremely durable.
Absolutely a great machete, made by Imicasa in El Salvador. If you're not familiar Condor is the higher end / recreational line by Imicasa. I don't buy Condor because they're just fancier, but they are a good tool.
i love watching tyler cower in fear in the slow mo as he chops a water bottle, then the literal FRAME it doesnt cut his face turns from slight fear to -_-
Back handed swings give you better power, and use less space. Grew up cutting brush for work. I also own 2 of the fiskars, and they are decently durable, which is something that is hard to show in a video.
Tramontina is king whether it be Bolo or banana … they need basic love and attention they will last forever … anything from brush clearing to meat … they are the best
I'd love to see you collaborate with one of the myriad of blacksmiths or bladesmiths on RUclips to revisit this video, see if they have any insight in making these blades better, re-profiling them, things like that.
You didn't have fun as a kid unless you and a few friends were going in the woods and building your own for with a machete and knife as a kid. We had a whole ass camp with 4 hits, campfire, smoking rack for meat, chopping block, etc. Was the best memories I have as a kid.
@@ReaIJackhammer When I was patrol leader, I ended up doing all the work in the camp while the other guys went out and chopped wood. I didn't say I was an effective leader.
@ReaIJackhammer me and one of my buddies had a 20ft tall 10 ft wide teepee along with a 3d archery trail that winded through about 15 acres of woods the trail itself was about 10ft wide cut with machetes bow saws and Hatchett through the thickest part of his ads property because there was nothing there
"This tree is an invasive species, so it grows quickly." That is hilarious! Thank you for a great content, and even a helpful guidance on buying my next machete.
I bought my hardware store brand machete over a decade ago for les than 20 bucks and its pretty decent... with inflation I cannot imagine getting the same quality for the price.
I like tramontina myself. Comes unfinished so you have to sharpen it, but the steel is good and far superior to 3cr options often found in other budget machetes. I clunked an old wheel with mine clearing brush and barely nicked the edge. Less than 2 minutes with stone then ceramic and good as new. I've also seen 3cr ones ruined hitting leftover barbed wire in brush. I haven't checked prices in a while but Ontario used to have a machete in 1095 for right at $20. I got one of them as well, and it's very good as well.
Love mine. I leave tip and front 3 inches blunt for digging and root chopping. Thing holds an edge and handles reckless swing into ground vines well. Hit many rocks and havent chipped or cracked it yet.
I’ve a had a Gerber I picked up like 8-9 years ago... wasn’t $20 but $40 and I love it. I do yard work with it and go fishing, dig holes with it, use it to pick rocks up while looking for snakes. Been a great machete for me and my uses. I am looking to upgrade into maybe the $100-$200 range though I just don’t know what style I want to get this time.
The way I look at it. They don't want the edge cutting through the packaging or inexperienced users. If a user doesn't know how to sharpen their own knifes. Maybe they shouldn't be using knives. Especially since using such knives will usually require resharpening anyway.
So, a 3/4" manila rope goes to a bar and asks the bartender for whisky on the rocks. The bartender says "You don't look old enough to drink, I'm gunna have to see I.D." So, the 3/4" manila rope leaves and goes down the street to TylerTube's garage and let's TylerTube hit them four times with a coleman walmart manchette. On the way back to the bar the 3/4" manila rope scrunches up and twists around as much as it can bear until it's hard to move and orders a scotch and soda. Of course the bartender asks "Hey, aren't you the 3/4" manila rope that was in here a bit ago?" To which the 3/4" manila rope replies "I'm a frayed knot."
Love the Gordon machete. Got one from Harbor Freight and it has helped me carve out a camp as well as a nice trail. Edit: that is definitely not the same machete as mine but they look the exact same.
Favorite is US Military 1943. Heavy blade. Used clearing trails in national forest. Holds sharpness. Used to cut fallen trees through to clear trail as well as trim bushes back. Many years of use
A sharpening suggestion I have is to use a flat filer for the machetes. It's a whole lot better because it's meant to file the steel blade. Wet stones won't do much with them. If you use a an angle grinder, a tiger disk(sand paper disk) can polish the edge and sharpen it safely because it won't eat the metal as quickly.
Just wondering, have your neighbors ever asked about what in the world you're up to in your garage or back yard sometimes? LOL ever gotten any complaints? I'd love to hear those encounters LOL
i think a safety thing with budget blades in large stores i think is generally to be sold a little dull in case of some one unhinged tries to take it for a trial run in store , having it dull minimizes possible injury , but as the fisker shows having some time to sharpen it , it has some decent quality

Machetes are supposed to be top heavy. They're made for chopping, and the extra metal on the end is supposed to make it easier to chop.
No, the machetea are not heavy, they have the pop very in front which is different. An 18"/22" machete should not exceed 500 grams) 1 pound approx.
Nah bro, a chopper like a golaks or kukris heavy, machetes light

Been a great machete for me and my uses.
I am looking to upgrade into maybe the $100-$200 range though I just don’t know what style I want to get this time.
It’s all about the steel type.
i was always under the impression those required sharpening when purchased new.
The way I look at it. They don't want the edge cutting through the packaging or inexperienced users. If a user doesn't know how to sharpen their own knifes. Maybe they shouldn't be using knives. Especially since using such knives will usually require resharpening anyway.
You’re not being consistent with the way you’re cutting…
But I love your videos!!!
I just can’t imagine the neighbors watching him😂😂😂
So, a 3/4" manila rope goes to a bar and asks the bartender for whisky on the rocks. The bartender says "You don't look old enough to drink, I'm gunna have to see I.D."
So, the 3/4" manila rope leaves and goes down the street to TylerTube's garage and let's TylerTube hit them four times with a coleman walmart manchette.
On the way back to the bar the 3/4" manila rope scrunches up and twists around as much as it can bear until it's hard to move and orders a scotch and soda.
Of course the bartender asks "Hey, aren't you the 3/4" manila rope that was in here a bit ago?"
To which the 3/4" manila rope replies "I'm a frayed knot."
Love the Gordon machete. Got one from Harbor Freight and it has helped me carve out a camp as well as a nice trail.
Edit: that is definitely not the same machete as mine but they look the exact same.
Do you live in the mountains? When I grow up I will probably move to the mountains area
@@fizzy4050 yeah I live in a mountainous area
"Got some good flex to it. " 😂😂
Favorite is US Military 1943. Heavy blade. Used clearing trails in national forest. Holds sharpness. Used to cut fallen trees through to clear trail as well as trim bushes back. Many years of use
A sharpening suggestion I have is to use a flat filer for the machetes. It's a whole lot better because it's meant to file the steel blade. Wet stones won't do much with them. If you use a an angle grinder, a tiger disk(sand paper disk) can polish the edge and sharpen it safely because it won't eat the metal as quickly.
What do you mean whet stones arent made for steel blades?
Where does that knowledge come from?
Just wondering, have your neighbors ever asked about what in the world you're up to in your garage or back yard sometimes? LOL ever gotten any complaints?
I'd love to hear those encounters LOL
11:27 Best part: Tyler worried about spilling water on his water drenched table lmao!
How about a test of something different: best RC car for $60 - $70 price range? Or best X type of RC car? Just throwing random idea out.
i think a safety thing with budget blades in large stores i think is generally to be sold a little dull in case of some one unhinged tries to take it for a trial run in store , having it dull minimizes possible injury , but as the fisker shows having some time to sharpen it , it has some decent quality
U should do a video on what liquids can you put in a kettle and keep doing what ur doing ur videos are great👍🏻
Yep the harbor freight is still probably a great value for a light brush whacker
The harbor frate one, I swung and went it came down the blade gone just a handle
Your trees you need to cut are called naked pine they're really useful for a lot of things LOL
The Fiskars machete is SOOO good at messing with Tyler. 😆 It's in his head.
"My first swing is a perfect and beautiful swing and all the ones after that are, like, garbage."
Tyler has mastered Jigen-ryu style swordsmanship.
How your only on 680K is mind blowing. You have been pumping out banger videos for years now. And i have watched every single minute. Tyler under rated fo sure.
Tyler discovers critical hits
U should have TESTED the sharpness of the machete u got from Bespoke post. To c how it compares to the others
I had a 7$ machete and then found a 1940 collins legitimus machete in my grammas garage and that thing is very nice
Calls the sheath horrible, sets it aside and says it’s nothing horrible.
Green trees, bushes,vines,branches are easier to cut with a machete. But who expects you to bring a forest in your garage. Good video. 👍
