Cold Steel Kukri Machete Destruction Test Part 2

[hongkong36th]

i've seem to observe that the cold steel magnum kukri machete bends while tree chopping, why is that? is it a good thing?is the magnum full tang? and is the blade thickness ideal for its length of the blade?

[shinedown394]

Cold Steel, making high quality weapons that can chop down castles since 1980.

[TheSmf4u]

This guy is a snuff film hunter

[CondemnedPatriot]

Can you do this test with the TOPS Anaconda Tanto tip? It seems to be one of the leading survival knives sold, and the reviews are outstanding. its a 15+ inch strait edge, 1/4inch thick 1095 carbon steel. I know if you did the test, you would get alot of feedback. Hell TOPS might even sponsor the vid, who knows. anyway, thanks alot for this video, told me alot

[Fallen385]

whats the knife thats held up the best to his tests?

[Awesome9412]

Why on earth is he cutting a board with a machete by stabbing it?

[CliffStamp]

@Awesome9412 He tried cutting the machete by stabbing it with the board and that didn't work.

[WIDOWDUDE1]

@Awesome9412 he's purposely trying to mess up the blade. he's not doing a very good job cuz it's still working... lol

[Highbob5]

why would you ruin the machete cutting concrete

[xereta10001]

lixo!

[MrDew045]

Hes handeling the devorce well is see.

[boorelius]

Whats with that mask? Seems really weird and gives a feel of forever alone guy

[IcnCyou]

65y did they call it a machete khukuri is in a leauge of its own

[phishydk]

LOL i love cutting me some concrete!!

[metallicaholic43088]

i liked this till i saw u smack the machette against concrete....this is most rediculous test ive ever seen a knife get put thru.....when out in the woods the next time i see blocks of concrete..and have abosolutely no choice but to hit them with a machete..ill take ur test as legitimate...until then...this was pointless..and a complete waste of time

[noss4]

@metallicaholic43088 READ THE FUCKING TITLE DOUCHE BAG !!! This is a destruction test you fucking idiot.

[metallicaholic43088]

@noss4 so thats how u talk to people who watch your videos huh? lmao ..wow im a "fucking douche bag" and a "fucking idiot" LOL nice one....all this coming from the man who hits concrete blocks with knives...lol u have a great day sir

[noss4]

@metallicaholic43088 Yep this is the way I talk to people like you on you tube. When you post stupid comments like your first one I may hit back. Don't comment on stuff you don't understand. Please don't watch my videos either. Your simple to dumb to understand them.

[metallicaholic43088]

@noss4 no prob my friend..id much rather spend my time watching videos made by people...who "care" who watch them...not just dudes that like to bash their viewers without rationally talking first...but hell whats one more sub to a hotshot like u right? u could care less...most people who do knife reviews..or even "torture tests" make videos for people who are intersted in actually purchasing the knife..as a means to be informative..if ur just gunna be dick then yeh im out...peace

[noss4]

@metallicaholic43088 LOL !! your a two faced bastard in your comments. You don't even realize what your saying do you ? There are plenty of other videos for you to watch on YT , so get lost !

[metallicaholic43088]

@noss4 i already said "peace" woman dont get ur panties all twisted up..stop responding i hafta see that shit in my email

[noss4]

@metallicaholic43088 To bad you should have thought about that before you posted your first comment.

[metallicaholic43088]

@noss4 why are u still commenting lmao get over it

[noss4]

@metallicaholic43088 Because it's fun.. and why are you still commenting ?

[metallicaholic43088]

@noss4 same..because its fun lol

[MrLifeismovingon]

i mean it gorkhali khukuri is much better...than the modern cold steel which is piece of shit comparing to the original!!!

[weetoddtv]

concrete smoke DONT BREATH THIS!

[OooHesGood]

how does this compare to the gerber gator machete

[CookieMMMonster]

@OooHesGood I have both. Kukri machete is much stronger and sturdier. You know the two bolts on the gator's handle? yeah thats how deep the blade goes. Pretty pathetic 1/4th tang design for something you swing and chop with. Get the kukri machete if you can. Although the Gator does have a better grip and a really good saw. Hope I helped xD

[OooHesGood]

@CookieMMMonster O wow, awesome answer. This helps alot, I still didnt buy either one, I went and got the Bear Grylls parang lol.. I want to buy another one this weekend so maybe I will pick up the cold steel kukri. Thank you!!

[chibnibles]

How do you have the money to buy this shit then to only destroy it.... no comprendo!

[chillthelaebe]

@chibnibles

cause its a 20 bucks item

[ScoutCrafter]

You guys rock!

[williamED15]

I just wanna say thanks i dont have the time or the money to beat the shit out of a block of wood with my knife and this helps

[wolfieakita]

why hit a cinder block? your test are great but you waste time going too far above what the blades are made for. Thanks. 

[HOLYHECKITSPAUL]

@wolfieakita to break them? some knives have gotten through cinder blocks, so you never know. (battle mistress for example he ended up having to cut steel tubing and even then it only broke when he was dead-hitting on a weld for a while)

[masteroffate2692]

if you want to get rid of the shock in the handle, wrap it with 550 cord, it doesnt completely get rid of it, but it helps alot, and it makes it more comfortable to hold too

[LJtricks]

do you recommend this machete?

[XDJOHNNYFORTXD]

@LJtricks This machete is good as a chopper. If you live where i do (north-west Washington state) you would need a chopper and slasher. So I would recommend a latin machete.

[Isaacxilia1]

You're a lot better off if you buy the real stuff, made in Napal.

[Taud]

@Isaacxilia1 how tho? these are 20$ those would b much more expensive.... you wouldnt wanna actually use it roughly in the bush

[Isaacxilia1]

@Taud A great quality (Better than cold steel by far), cheap, 11 inch khukuri would last you a whole military career and can take a lot - compared to the machete version of a standard gurkah knife by cold steel. (The machete shape reduces the ability of it by a lot and the handles - from other reviews - have broken, or aren't great quality). Trust me, you want a Napal made one.

Try "The Khukuri House", they make decent blades.

[Taud]

@Isaacxilia1 Those are more expensive with shipping than the one for 20$ from my local store,cold steel brand though, thats not true that it breaks because this knife test reveals it DOES NOT break even after hacking brick and the rubber coating got ripped off the handle was full tang and still in tact, ive never seen these 'cheap kukris" youre talking about the ones on that website are around 45$ american plus tax and shipping, 90% of us dont have jungles in our yards so for the amount of use..

[Isaacxilia1]

@Taud From the UK here, if that changes things. And I said from "Other reviews" they've said the handles are dodgy, etc.

[88Kamikaze69]

Oh dear, oh dear... as a knife lover watching this just makes me cringe but I am still glad you did it so I could get to see what this knife is good for.

[2134maxedout]

is this the magnum kukri or just plain kuri machete ?

[Pimpzilla300]

I don't you about you, but I believe the blade still has what it takes to waste branches, bushes, people, etc. but no more blocks lol.

[noah0928]

10000 lb webbing? dang.

[PlannedMayhem]

7 people need another 2 by 4

[Spectre426]

I'm sold, going to order one tomorrow.

[Grimkov]

OK I was curious if this thing would survive just normal outdoor use....I think the question has been answered and I haven't even been all the way through the test videos. Thanks, you helped me make my choice. Given I am kinda thinking of the Magnum but I might go with this one since its shorter and it will be easier to wield in close proxy to trees and such.

[loku1125]

i will keep this machete in mind if i want to kill concrete

[bangbangdodo]

I've never ever seen s.o. maltreat a machete like this... quite an impressive performance though. the kukri is now on top of my wishlisht ^^

[xxEPICSHOOPDAWHOOPxx]

Emile would be proud

[Cokecanninja]

Dang, chop up a concrete block and it would only need a few hours to get back good as new!!

[Renouzoukken]

real concrete block or cinder block? Not that it matters much either way.

[noss4]

@Renouzoukken Real concrete block. not cinder block. No even sure where they sell cinder block around here. It's all concrete in my area.

[bosephusthebruce]

i love ur tests! haha u always go overkill and go again. u really show what's rugged and what is week

[ThePHENOMZ24]

Good demonstration guys

[prikasky]

5:45 lol

[vepost]

i have the same machete but the color is starting to fade do u know wut i can do to get it back to its original color

[thorington]

paint it black

[spartencamp]

@vepost dura coat it black

[6Keal]

Thanks to this video i made up my mind and actually bought two of these ! one to use and the other just to have for show i guess. Thanks for testing this kukri machete !

[scaleplate]

I paid 10 bucks for that same machete at a pawn shop. For that price you couldn't ask for a better quality.

[canadiancarl]

thats either a really good knife or really bad concrete

[couldntthinkofone12]

nah..thats a really good knife...freaking thing is cutting through wood, concreate...i know what im buying next :)

[carth101]

Damn thoes  things are scary.

[TheShardool]

This wood is very soft , it should be hard enough for kukri test.

[PaowinPandas]

can you make a destruction test on the CS latin machete also? i really like machetes and i would like to see more destruction tests for them =P if not possible, then oh well

[whatnow47]

i agree with you im thinking of getting the latin machete but before i buy it i wana see how strong it is.

[abaddon146]

that paster is crap yea

[Wilyes]

If that kukri chops itsef trough concrete w/o breaking its good. Wonder if ill get one now.

[supertasticasian]

im guessing kukri's are more for chopping and axe work than actually working as a knife or machete.

[X760819]

Actually they slice and slash quite well, due to their shape and frontal weight of its blade. The design has legends of being able to out-cut katanas and other swords in combat (notably decapitating opponents) and proving itself sturdy and reliable for utility/mundane chores..

Look'em up -- hell of a interesting blade.

[KonstantinKuehn]

and not to mention! the spartans had a very similarly shaped sword that looked almost the same! sooo yeah come on now the spartans knew their stuff soooooooo.... the design is awesome

[X760819]

Well, yeah, but a knife and a sword are two different animals -- my point was that the kukri's cutting strength and structural integrity enables it to perform a variety of tasks; not just combat or just utility -- it's an interesting blade for that reason. Also, it's ergonomics are delightful.

The Spartan Kopis is more of what the Cold Steel Magnum Kukri Machete is -- and it too is a superb tool/improvised weapon.

I've had both -- terrific blades.

[SamuraiSchiavone]

Yeah its called the roman seeker which was also used by gladiators as well.

[SlayerSokka]

i love machetes!!! i want this one and the latin machete. you should make a latin machete destruction test. =]

[manetric12]

how much did you pay for the Kukri?

[Saso1983]

Id like to see the same test to the gurkha kukri (with SK-5)... to compare...

[emel60]

you have himalayan import tests

[Saso1983]

Thanks man, I've already seen it.

It's most for the steel and the differences between thickness of those 2 blades but I appreciate ;)

[emel60]

same with me...i like gurkha style more cause of the way it is made and the force it provides ( a blunt CS can't do much- no weight...but a ghurka's blunt khukri is like an axe!!!)

[Hollowman21]

I bought one of these last year and I have to say I went on a tree chopping spree untill the point where i built a compost box and shed and I have never been happier.

[hooshangmaster]

I love the concrete test!

[Wolfclaw666]

damn...were those sparks comin off of it during the concrete test?

[elk832]

That's carbon steel for ya =]

I never imagined going to town on a concrete block with any kind of blade before. That was awesome.

[cheeseymakka1996]

why are you weraing a mask while cutting some tapey paper stuff

[ChickenPika]

Great videos! You kinda sound like Kermit the frog at some points, but what do I know? Looks like an amazing machete.

[magicebuyer]

Your really using the wrong kind of blade / weapon for this, if you want a full on work tool which you can beat constantly with a hammer and hack trees down with, you need a billhook. Not sure how easy they are to get in USA though.

[LIGHTNINGLEVIS]

so blunt the blade was not even sharp before they started

[guiltybystander77]

Its a chopper, not a razor. 1055 steel isn't very good for knives that need to stay razor sharp (lower carbon content=soft steel). Its great for impact resistance though. Also, any steel thats easy to dull is also easy to sharpen to a useable chopping edge again.

[highlander723]

$20... dammm im sold!

[SirStickypants2]

Such a nice machete!

[namehisname]

brutal man

[EvanBNW]

Just recently started watching you videos, totally love them!

[Southern661]

whats better? the Kukri Machete or the magnum version?? you should have tested the back side on the concrete, it smashes cynder blocks.

[anthonywibbels1]

is this the $20 machete

[tallswede68]

Yes, that's the one. 20 dollars.

[max465t]

NOT THE CONCREET

[USAisgay]

cold steel are known to make awesome peices
