Nope its an Knife. The handle construction defines it as an knife. Check "Kriegsmesser" as an example its an "sword" by its size but its really an knife.
Without the measurements I would guess the Handle is about 8", the Blade is about 18". So, that would make it about 10" longer than what is described for Dundee's knife. Handle: 5.5" and Blade: 10.5" 🤔🙄

I remember one of my favorites getting excited to show me a very similar machete, it was honestly a really nice one compared to some of the ones I’d seen other homeless have and I could tell he took really good care of it!
Yeah, I always thought that was the stupidest place to put your blade. looks cool withdrawing it, on camera, but off camera, if you're not surrounded by the sword wrangling crew, you're chasing your tail. Then you give up, remove the harness, while yelling; "STUPID SCABBARD!!!", then take it off because you find it's like backing into a parking lot in a small strip mall. Then we see you in your next take, the scabbard moved to the left side of your leg, like a unseamless jump cut.
The difference between a knife and a sword is defined not by size, but by their hilt construction. Even a 5 foot blade, if built like a knife, would be a knife. That means having a full tang and no pommel at the end to hold the hilt together.
The definition of saber is not well agreed upon, many cultures used straight sabers for infantry, though the majority are certainly curved. As for the knife VS sword debate, messers are certainly used as swords and are almost universally agreed to be one, despite the hilt construction, so really it’s not a matter of a physical difference but a matter in a difference in use. There are no hard hardline agreed upon definitions. If you use it like a sword, it can be called a sword, if you use it like a knife, call it a knife.

Machete most likely by its shape. A blade is not determined by length, but by shape and purpose.

Так, ну это считается еще ножом. Сколько можно судить без рулетки. Меч - это от 75 см длинны клинка, а тут - 45-47 где-то. Рука взрослого человека от кисти до локтя - около 30 см. Отсюда делаем вывод, что длинна клинка - в районе 40 см. Поэтому, его и можно без особых проблем носить и вынимать из ножен на спине. А вот при длинне клинка более 1 м уже могут возникнуть проблемы. И связано это - не с длинной предмета, а именно с пропорциями нашего тела.

Kinda reminds me of a messer or a kriegsmesser both hilt grips have a similar build to a knife so they’re kinda like giant knives lmao
@@icywolf8177in case you didn't know, messer literally means knife in German. It dates back to when carrying swords in Germany was outlawed therefore people got around the law by just have a huge "knife" instead.
@@HoeDizzleFoShizzle Oh yeah I almost forgot about that! I remember I first learned about that on a Skallagrim video love his videos and medieval weapons collection
It would be considered a machete
@@Crazeforblaze Yeah me too it’s too short for a sword imo and too long for a knife
MBB.....it's a work of art. Made of pure "Unobtanium", trimmed with "Cantaffordium". 😎
Got that right , cant afford a single thing except a patch on their website.
@@michaelgrinder5946
Hell, I looked at their website for ten minutes last year and went bankrupt. I'm posting this comment from a van......down by the river. 😉
Sheesh😂
Amen to that
So... It's a Machete.
Sword and Knife combined.
Great invention 500 years ago.
Boats and knives have a lot in common. The smaller they are the more use you will get out of them.
So I guess my weiner applies here too..
@@SeanSullivan-n9f I’m not sure about yours, but there is definitely still a point of diminishing returns.
@@SeanSullivan-n9fbruh
@robertlinton5966 you killed him 💀
Boats and Hoes...
That looks like something a Space Marine would wield.
Oh MOOOSST definitely !
That would be a space marine's pocket knife
Crocodile Dundee approved knife.
Roman swords were two edged, and about 18 inch long blade.
"That aint a knife. Now this is a knife"
Crocodile dundee
You mean KNOYFE
"You call that a knoife? That's a knoife!" - Mic Dundee
🤙 Great Movie…Great Time.
"And this is a pistol...." - Dave Chappelle
You call that a knife?! Now THAT’S a knife!
I would call that a machete. A pretty fucking badass machete.
Love the long grip. One of the great losses of my life was a cold steel 2 handed kukri. It had like a 2 to 2.5 foot handle and it was stolen from me and now they're discontinued.
Im sure an online search will turn up a decent one. Dont give up
Bro got that RE5 Chris knife
Was thinking the same thing
First thing that popped in my head when I saw the thumbnail 😂
For reall though😂😂
Machete and I absolutely love that sheath
Nahhh knife
"Now, THAT'S a knife!" (delivered in an out-back Oz accent, of COURSE!)
- Is this a knife or a sword?
- YES! 🤩
Good tool for camping, hunting and the zombie apocalypse.
Same size pilipino use during Spanish and WW2 knife,we call it etak or bolo. The bolo was adopted by the US Military as the bolo knife. Produced from 1897 to 1918, they remained in service both as a tool for clearing brush and for combat until World War II. The bolo is also used in Filipino martial arts or Arnis as part of training.
Fought off the Spanish and Japanese I believe...
Bolo is shaped differently. Depending upon region
If it needs to be carried on your back and drawn like that, it’s a Sword
Holy Smokes talk about “The Book Of Eli “ Thanks Melissa.
That would be a knife, no matter how you slice it. :)
😂 Underated comment
That comment cut deep😅
Not to a hobbit. Hahah
You and David goin to hell😂
No no, he’s got a point
Don’t care which it is. I need this in my life
Depends, what's it for? Cutting non-human, it's a knife. Cutting human, it's a sword. Yeah, there gonna be some crossover here and there.
In the immortal words of Fry, "Shut up and take my money!"
Everywhere but Medieval Germany: It's a short sword
Medieval Germany: Which guild made it?
Crocodile Dundee would be proud to carry that.
NOW THAT'S A KNOIFE!
Definitely would love too own one.
For normal soldier, it's a sword, but if a space marine holds it, it's a knife
Or a Medieval reenactor!
Так, ну это считается еще ножом. Сколько можно судить без рулетки. Меч - это от 75 см длинны клинка, а тут - 45-47 где-то. Рука взрослого человека от кисти до локтя - около 30 см. Отсюда делаем вывод, что длинна клинка - в районе 40 см. Поэтому, его и можно без особых проблем носить и вынимать из ножен на спине. А вот при длинне клинка более 1 м уже могут возникнуть проблемы. И связано это - не с длинной предмета, а именно с пропорциями нашего тела.
⁶I will
Depends on the country and style of sword
I like this ! Will fit between me and the backpack, EZ access and not dangling from my waist which already has too much weight and gear.
😮 whooaa... that knife is huge! Sylvester probably would use it to kill the aliens that he met deep in the jungle!
Now this is a KNIFE.
Either way you don’t wanna be on the receiving end of that blade swing.
In several states, including my own, swords are legally defined as knives.
In my state, there are no laws barring me from wearing/carrying any size or style of knife, sword, etc. Idaho is great and not just for the incest!!
@@yuradouchedrinker3300 can't say I was expecting the latter portion of your last statement.
@@devinm.6149 bro i was not ready and im his neighbor in Washington
I'd say Now that's a Knife. I think If a Greek soldier, saw that blade they'd probably say, that's a nice sword.
"Now thats a knoife"
-Crocodile Dundee
Miller bros make so many of these. This is one of the small ones. I found them back in 2012 on YT ironically… good to see they’re still making steel.
how is this ironic
Solid company. Good men. Incredible blades.
This would be a good example of the opposite of ironic
Looks like the one Billy had. ( Predator) " Billy, let's go!"
Iz called a Greatknife! 😁✨👌🏼
