Obviously you missed the memo that says that machetes are only good in jungle environments and useless everywhere else. LOL

If I had a nickel for every time someone said that on youtube or an outdoors board, I'd have a nice chunk of change by now.

@CanItAlready You and I both. Most places around the world you'll see a machete type blade doing 99% of both the field and kitchen work.

Hey nwamanitou! How did you make your lanyards for your cutting tools?

[nwmanitou]

@breker19er Ah, looks like I have to make another video. It is a solomon bar, the same knot you see on braided paracord watch bands. i just leave out a exra long loop of material.

I love All your videos! i am think about buying that Golok machete! how o you make those lanyards on all the back of your knives? maybe u could post a vieo going over the process? or do u buy them factory made?

[nwmanitou]

@TheWumbus Yup, make them myself. They aren't too difficult. I'll see about making a tutorial vid on the lanyards.

@nwmanitou ok cool thanks! that would be sweet! i did something like that, but was curious how you did yours. i don't think mine came out as clean.

finally some one who agrees that saw-backs are a bad idea

I know what you mean about the condor golok and parang, love mine.

[EnterTheMuffin]

Nice video... Condor has excellent quality, I know... I come from where these things are made and use machetes regularly

[TheWumbus]
