  • Hi there,the blade is pretty good,,the handle isn't as good as the BK7 I have and the edge does seem to chip quite often,easy to sharpen and very light,,a good review is in the offing when I can cram it in...all the best!

  • @bassfuryvi How is the machete in terms of flexibility ? Is it flexible or stiff enough?

    Good videos you have man !

  • @neroma thanks for your comment, this machete is about 3mm thick so it is not a flexible type machete like a Tramontina( which quite honestly are KICKASS!) but this will chop slightly better,it is stiff enough for many tasks but as I mention last month it does chip out,,it is 440 series stainless so a budget steel with a full flat grind but for a small terminal edge,,a bit brittle,,,check out Condor for many alternatives in this £30 price bracket,,probably a better move to be honest!

  • @bassfuryvi Thanks for your answer, . I already have a few Tramontinas and a ColdSteel Kukri machete which is stiff enough and really tough, but I was tempted by a stainless machete and that great handle. Maybe I will carve some finger grooves on the handles of Tramontina because are slippery.

  • @neroma no problem, the handle is great but the BK7 is slimmer and better,if you did get the Magnum,,it is probably worth slimming the scales down,,all the best"

  • mate that is some piece of steel over 5 mm. and the beast edge is just mashed after the floor chopping.

  • I didn't expect a video -but I DO appreciate it Scott so thank you! There seemed to be some confusion among online sources so I thought I'd ask you.

    Now that you've had the blade for a while, what are your impressions?

    The blade steel is listed as 440 -so I guess we can assume 440A: I was thusly surprised by your cutting tests. Thoughts?
