Extra comment: i see many people complain about the price. We might have talked too much about the price. I want to stress this knife is very expensive to make and it performed amazing. Its also much bigger than some other expensive knives we tested and hand ground + the 3D printed handle is also expensive to make. A truck is more expensive to make than a scooter guys... It's worth the price. I'm not saying everyone can afford it.

This does pretty much what all machetes are meant to do - chop a path through a bit of jungle. You could get a basic british army machete that works just as well and looks as shit for 50 quid max @vllad74

With the same steel as a mora companion 😅
I'm glad I waited before commenting cuz I thought you meant that in time and I was very confused lol
Woopwoop. It's the sound of DBK 🙌🏽
Its all about the convex edge. The greatest cutter ever
You can buy a real hand forged, Nepalese Gurkha Kukri for $150 with buffalo horn handle or the Condor kind for $ 100. I think they will chop just as well.
You can buy a Fiat 500 or a Porsche 911. They both drive but one will perform better while the other is cheap. You really only understand those UG-Tools products when you have them in hand. I have some knives of them and got to „play“ with that machete at a fair. It is absolutely insane and the products you mentioned don’t come close
@@pietpromilleable😂😂😂🤦🤡
maybe, but they would both cost me a limb anyways.
@@pietpromilleableyou are really a clown. The chops shown in video are not even close to impressive
It would absolutely be worth the price if it was 3V
3V in a jungle? No, thank you. It is a budget steel, yes, but it was properly heat-treated so it outperforms probably every 3V Bark River Knife
@@SeacryBlastsAloTMagnacut for this price buddy
Wear resistance is pretty useless and more of a drag in maintenance on a machete.
12C27 is just as tough as CPM-3V
12C27 is much more corrosion resisitant than CPM-3V
@@SeacryBlastsAloTTrue, cheap steels do not mean bad steel, they are just cheaper due to less alloying element etc.
The issue is, since the cost is kept down by using an excellent steel which has an excellent price, the price of the knife should be cheaper.
Otherwise, I just think that one advantage of 12C27 is wasted😂
@@Laurarium well, I do not disagree with your general thought. However, I don't think that you can have that machete for much cheaper. Who is offering you sth similar for less?
Love your work, can I suggest you use I lanyard the way it's intended not around the wrist, over your knuckles. Hard to explain but way more support you can nearly let go of the knife and it will stay in position. Not like if it slipped out the way you have it, it will be out of control. Brief description put lanyard over top of handle and slip fingers through lanyard at bottom. Just a suggestion. 🤙
I love ug tools but the Bravo machete in 1v is superior because of the price and steel. The advantage of the ug Machete with a lighter weight (because of the handle) is only for smaller knives relevant.
I see the benefit more in cold weather. That partly holloe titanium handle has super low heat capacity and cant conduct it well
You can in winter even through gloves get very cold hands quickly if you touch a regular bigger fulltang
Years ago I worked for Markforged and we printed with D2. I have a blank of it that I've been meaning to make a knife out of.
thats awesome!
I was gonna say... You can absolutely 3d print steel, I don't know how strong it is though
@@usernick8928 The only risk I could see is if you printed the blade vertically, the layers might delaminate with impacts. I printed mine flat, so as long as it's heat treated correctly it should be surprisingly strong
To get the most radical convex grind possible, I like to make my knives out of round stock. They don't cut very well, but they're sure as hell more convex than your knives 😆
UG-Tools really makes no-compromise tools🤯 Already have knives of them and haven’t used anything else since 😍
Price is the compromise. There is always a compromise, the question is always where are you willing to compromise.

@@turtledunkknucklebaby8089true $700 is crazy for 12c27 lol. That’s literally the same steel as a $10 mora
Most Machetes have soft steel, are hard to break and easy to sharpen. This has a hard steel to keep the convex sharp longer, it is more comparable to a high quality bushcrafter that outgrew its sheath. Curious how hard the spine is, should be less hard somewhere to take vibrations and abuse. Well thought out blade geometry and it is ground for purpose with varying grinds along the edge. Not even that a bad prize for this blade, a lot more work in a knife double the size of a regular bushcrafter. Loved the Video!
I did not expect such a good summary! Lol! Hell of a machete it seems. ;-)
So what happens if you damage the lanyard of your 700+€ knife?
My Kukri cost like $25, just sayin'.
I’ll GO BBUY 5 OTHER KNIVES INSTEAD…
The Fallkniven modern bowie they have is $1000, so that machete isn't so bad lol
gotta love those experts saying 3d printing is to weak , titan is too weak , i want 3v , its so expensive .... 80% of these comments could be prevented with knowledge
It’s painful how good of a job the knife industry did convincing people that absolutely fine steels like 12C27 are not enough 🫠
@@pietpromilleable🤡🤦
@@pietpromilleable so true
@@just9911 it isnt ridiculous , most 3v that you are gettin is so falsly heattreated that its still worse than a good heattreated 12c27 or 14c28 , the problem is people who buy such knifes never ll get anywhere near that point of harduse where you need 3v and so they ll never know that the steel is near useless , i learnd it the hard way on barkrivers and new coldsteel just to name it, there is a reason for the price , the convex alone on such a long blade with thinner egde near the guard , who the fuck does that know a days?
I'm sorry that price for a budget steel is ludicrous...no doubt it performs well...but at least 3V for that price.
yeah, complete rip off
@@StephenMcGregor1986yea they are smoking crack
what do u think, how expensive is the 3d printer? Btw such a steel would be shit at a machete;)
@xencorex1713 the 3d printer only represents the handle, which I'm not convinced is worth it for this type of knife.. 12c27 is strictly worse than 14c28n. But performance wise is far far behind 3V as a steel for this purpose. I can get a fully custom made in USA machete for around $400 in CPM 3v with practically any handle material (I'd probably pick terratough)
@@maxlvledc no u couldnt get a custom made machete with such a handle for this price. Btw the steel is perfect for this blade, cpm 3v would be shit for this tasks. Its made for the jungle, with saltwater. Cm3v would be shit
The UG Tools 3DTi machete generally comes without a sheath. I would like to see a side by side comparison of several choppers. The best choppers I own: 1. Bark River Ja-Nap, 2. TOPS El Chete / Cold Steel Gurkha Kukri Plus 3V, 3. Bark River Bravo III, 4. Fällkniven Moderne Bowie / Fällkniven Thor / Cold Steel Trail Master 3V / Bark River Grizzly. I think at least the Bark River Ja-Nap can easily compete with the 3DTi machete!
I have a $10 USD Mora Clipper in front of me made with 12C27 steel…
The most astonishing part of the story is that the tang of this blade is only a good inch long and all their knives are for their size super light. Due to the titanium handle and UG tools way to marry it to the blade they are able to create a handle blade connection that is unbelivable strong .I do own 2 small fixed blades from UG tools and like them a lot. So far they have sold many knives with this construction and i have not yet heard of one failing at the tang/ handle connection.
That Darth Vader cut away - hilarious! Great video
I hope you guys don’t get too commercial
They can be as commercial as they want. We all will be who we are, they won't ruin our enjoyment of knives or outdoors. It's not a competition who spends the most, it's not a competition who doesn't the least. Fuck money! Fuck caring about money all the damn time! I don't want to be controlled by that or anything else!

Also that dish of your mother I remember eating that ones at my grandma's house she learned that from her mother
I have few of their knives with this machette on the way and they're basically only knives I use anymore. Designs are great, ergos awesome, materials top notch and cool factor is off the charts.
Yeah they're pricey but there's a LOT of knives in their price range that offer nothing new or innovative - just a slab of steel, some G10 on the sides and call it a day. And a shitty sheath... talking about you BM.
Their materials aren't top notch. Shit steel with a polymer handle. 🤷♂️
@@BorealEDC mate, you really don't know what you're talking about. None of their handles are polymer, they're 100% titanium, laser welded. They use Magnacut on most of their blades but it would be a dumb choice for a machette. 12C27 is one of the toughest stainless steels there are, just check Larrin Thomas (guy who invented Magnacut) testing on it. Don't be a tool.
@@frostys_bushcraft🤦🤡
@@BorealEDC👍👏
@@frostys_bushcraft I stand corrected on the handle, I thought they were plastic. I do not agree on 12c27 being a superior steel. It sucks and there are many other great options for this type of tool.
Oh yes! This Tool ist every cent worth! I used it on my last Tour in the brasilien jungle. After it i bought a second one! thats the reference! And it is in my point of view not expensive! You have to pay the price for the outstanding quality!
no one is paying 800 euros for a machete that I can guarantee my 30$ machete will outwork! machetes are supposed to lightweight. not worth it. for basic scanvik steel!

A lot of people are complaining about the price. I mean, yea, it is crazy expensive, but ... just don't buy it.
Listen I'm not a steel snob, I love budget steels and cheaper steels but for 700 quid I'd want something a lot better than 12c27, good steel don't get me wrong but 700 quid? Where are they getting this price!
To put it into perspective, I got a cold steel kukri plus machete today for 40 euro, I could buy 17.5 of those for one of these and one of them would probably last me a lifetime.
I love khukuris and own 5. Traditional, modern, modified, thick, slim you name it I'll love it. This is an unreal design but that pricetag is just unjustifiable.
You could buy two work tuff gear blades for this price at the end of the day.
What steel would you want? I would take 12C27 on a 5000€ machete as it´s a perfect steel for the requirements. For sure it´s expensive but they left out some good reasons for the price. They tested way more expensive knives with less function and nobody ever complanined the price.
@@jangierseugtools1845 I agree it's a good steel, I have many khukuris from Nepal with what would be considered cheap steel by steel snobs but it's perfect for the job. Takes an edge quickly, rolls doesn't chip etc. @700 euros I'd definitely want 3V minimum, cpm D2, Cruwear, k390 (or other k3xx) etc.
My main point is where are they getting 700 quid from. I understand it's custom/semi custom and a good design but there are knives with better materials, at a lower price point which are readily available and will do the same job.
I could buy 2 WTG knives for this price which are also done in batches and have great study designs. Just doesn't seem right to me, 700 for a knife which you can buy other knives with similar specs that will last a lifetime for much less.
@@jangierseugtools1845 Tell him what are the good reasons left out then.
@@jangierseugtools1845I left a reply but I'm not sure what happened I think it deleted on me.
My main point is yes it's a good steel but for 700 quid I don't want good I'd want great. 01, cpm D2, s30v, elmax, k390 etc. I have many khukuris from KHHI which people bash the steel online, but from my experience the steel is good. Holds an edge decently, sharpens fast and nicely, doesn't chip and so on.
My main point is where are they getting the price from. For 700 quid I can buy two WTG knives which also are made in batches, from great materials and are solid. One WTG knife would last you a lifetime.
Despite the great design and all the positives, definitely a big red flag being it costs 700 quid.
@@Joshuaskehan-mk8cj You should read arcticles from the knife steel nerds. He would 100% support our decision on this steel and never use high alloyed PM steels like Elmax for this. It is simply a bad choice due to super high carbide volume, which leads to super low toughness. 12C27, AEB-L, 1.4034 are a perfect decision for a chopping tool. An expensice PM steel does not mean it´s good for everything. DBK did not show the innovative lanyard, which goes through the handle and is much better than at the end. The handle is produced with high strenght titanium, everyting is hand made in Germany and no industrial product. So many details that explain the price at least a little are completely left out.
Actually you can print a knife. There is some company I think in Denmark that can print high hardness steel around 70 HRC. I was talking to them about making a fixed blade. Talk to me for details if wanted. They make all kinds of hard steel products that can’t be manufactured the normal way. They can print with multiple steels in the same piece.
Can you please share the name of the company? I'd like to check that out.
$700.....? For?? The handle? 🤣
Send me a knife here in Perú! hahaha Greetings DBK!
Try a kailash kukri, I think you’d dig the convex grind… the steel doesn’t hold an edge well as you saw in their smaller knife but it is very very tough.
I don't know if there are any manufacturers or makers using the tech on knives but I did read an article about laser hardening for steel, might be something to look out for for testing on the channel.
Very nice video, had a eye on it for long. Its a very nice machety.
