I am a land surveyor and I have been using the one handed version. I have beat the hell out of it. I absolutely love it. I might have to get the two handed version.
These guys that are using these weapons are indeed experts by how much force they put in their swings. Epic.
God's Child 84 I think the one who does the most ineffective swings is that bald guy. Those turning or flip swings or whatever the hell they are, are ridiculous. He has no edge alignment whatsoever. Look at how much the machete flops during his cuts.
He’s purely relying on muscling it out and the sharpness of the blade. Easy way to get hurt.
At least Lynn Thompson has admitted lately that he had terrible form in these older videos. He has gotten a lot better.
I used to own the 18” Latin machete. I’m a bow maker and I’ve used it for rough shaping of the stave and felling smaller diameter trees and saplings. Holds an edge well and is extremely durable. One of the best machetes I’ve ever used. I plan on buying another one here soon.
The fact that you are a bow maker is so incredibly cool
Poor man's sword. love it!
@Guacamole Nigga Penis No shit! I was using it as an adjective, dumb ass. I refereferred to it as a "poor man's sword." I'm 41 years old. I know what an actual sword is. 🤦🏽♂️
@Guacamole Nigga Penis Dude! Get off of my jock. It was a random inconsequential comment I made. You really felt the need to split hairs and try to impose your own meaning onto me? Wow bro. Get a girl or hobby brahhh. 🤡
@Guacamole Nigga Penis honestly, there have been plenty of "swords"(ctlasses, shortswords, sabres) in history with pretty much the same measurements and characteristics- length, thickness, width even construction
it is considered as a tool /weapon you can treat it as a sword tho haitian use machetes like swords
If Voorhees had this he'd run out of victims in 1st third of the movie.
I have the two handed version. I friggin LOVE IT!!!!
Mine comes tomorrow. Is it sharper than your average machete? I'm pumped!
@@ElectricFeel422 I sharpened mine further than the factory edge since I wanted a really good cutting edge.
I love this Latin machete that i bought from cold 🥶 steel ❤️💯
Very well made: the video, the machete and the demonstrations!
Living in a harbour-city allowed access to scores of selfmade machetes - mostly crude and carved out of thick steel by seamen. Back to your website :D

Awesome test video guys :-) keep up the good work!
You know, these blades are amazing. I have a two-handed latin machete myself, but I have a big problem with it. The fact that it comes unsharpened is a real big no no. I mean the ones they are using in this video are probably razor sharp. But mine came with a partially sharpened edge, and a tip that had no edge. I was very disappointed. It performs outstandingly, but the fact that it came unsharpened was not nice.
How did you sharpen it?(sorry if spelled wrong)
Jelle Rosendal Well, what I ended up doing was first taking it to the local hardware store and just having them put a rough bench grind on it (about 10 bucks) then I took a grinding stone and just honed it by hand at a 50 degree angle.Then after I got the edge worked out I took a diamond sharpening stick and did a little fine work, then once I got the edge as fine as I could go with the diamond stick, I took the knife sharpener that we use for our kitchen knives and honed it the best I could. It took some time, but I got it right where I want it.
I had the same problem. It's a bit odd, I've bought several of the Cold Steel machete line, and they've all had a fairly decent factory edge on them. Only the two-handed latin machete came unsharpened.
Has Cold Steel offered any sort of explanation for this?
twiddle Dee No, I haven't tried to ask them yet. I figured, whatever. I can always get it professionally sharpened if I want.
Hunter Duncan Of course, but don't you think it's a bit, well, unacceptable for them to advertise their machetes with sharpened blades in these demonstration videos, when their actual delivered products have the cutting capacity of butter knives? I think an explanation is in order.
By the way, I was going to have mine sharpened at the local hardware store as well, but I was too insecure to be seen in public with a big ass machete. So instead, I resorted to going over the entire 21 inches with the Lanskys' sharpening system. It took me like two days :D
WARNING !!! the latins that you can see in the video are sharpned. when you buy them, they are not that sharp (sorry when my english is bad but im from germany)
Josh's Music World Your English is fine! I understood everything you said.
I also understood averything, I will shape mine when I'll receive it.
Josh's Music World Are you sure? Besides, sharpening isn't a problem.
Zoltan Csikos: Yes, he is sure. My Cold Steel Latin had the worst edge I've ever seen on a factory machete. It wasn't just dull. The grind was terrible. It was not even from end to end or from side to side. Looked like someone with Parkinsons ground the edge. Be prepared to not just sharpen the thing, but to completely re-profile the grind before you can begin to sharpen it.
Josh's Music World
Thank you.
ideal for fighting the devil on the hill at night. Yes, it is a Latin American tradition.
This dude will scream every time when he cuts bamboo in a jungle he like scream alone lol
😆 love that pirouette at :56
The perfekt machete for Jason voorhes
1:06 MAJESTIC
but you haven't seen hundred other throws where he missed and when that piece of cheap metal didn't stick...
ki ki ki ki ah ah ah ah (if you got that refrence good for you)
Fawful benivictor make mother proud
Fawful benivictor I may be wrong but Friday The Thirteenth??
Jacob Frye correct you are
Fawful benivictor tell Jason to consider buying Cold Steel's machetes if he ever needs one
Jason 🔪
can the old guy with the beard quit telling things that are dead to die?
Thats just something he says when hes beating his meat
La mejor arma cuerpo a cuerpo que debo tener.
Not longer available
The new cold steel machetes are sharper and hold an edge longer but shatter like glass when really pressed. Good old chinesium steel.
머리가 반짝반짝하는 아저씨는 무술가 기믹이 있는듯.. 항상 시연 영상에 나오시는걸 보면 예비동작들이 오리엔탈리즘을 불러 일으키는 무술가 풍의 느낌이 나네요.
I still want one of Jason's Latin Machetes if anyone knows what Brand of Forge his came from!
Jack Harpe 3rd Looks like you’ll have to find him and ask him, might be kind of difficult since he doesn’t talk.
But seriously, Jason’s a big man. His machete is probably a bit more heavy duty than most mass market machetes. I mean after all, against human targets, it will need some weight to be effective.
tactical trhowing machete LOL
de pana
"Stick around!"
Level of awesomness: Thowing a f*cking machete

Anyone notice the 2 handed machete failed to make a clean cut through the bamboo at the 1:00 mark?
Asertix357 Well of course, his movements and technique are awful. Who the hell swings a machete like like?
His edge alignment was way off leading to the bad cut, and the insane bending and flopping of the blade during the cut. Just muscling it out, no technique at all.
Reverse engeneer in Brazil machete? :(
If I were a member of the MS-13 I'd love a replica of that machete in my arsenal.
I've used some "latin Machetes" being Puerto Rican. This design is the best for clearing brush. Whats the steel on this?
If I had to guess, either 1055 CB steel, or 1075 CB steel.
Is it full tang
But will it blend
Yes. They bend. However they are spring tempered meaning they return to shape. Like a spring
is lynn using an oss as a boot knife?
LOL this is like from Tim and Eric show some of the Cinco products :D Best parts 0:10 guy is clearly pissed :D btw check the apocalyptic setting behind LOL :D Check this guy face and Jet-li move 0:56 :D haha he's going to be in some new Hollywood movie soon :D 1:41 Don't put meat in that guy's boots, he's gonna finish it :D look what happened to his fingers LOL :D
Jason Voorhees
Mira con esto entendemos que es mejor usarlo para cortar con el centro ni tan cerca ni tan lejos como latino de confianza que lo utilizo toda su vida lo afirmo
Jason voorhees...
0:35 beautiful.
Do they come sharp? I've seen a few reviews and some, I think did. I'd love a reply whenever possible, I'm just considering buying. Love Cold Steel products, keep doing what you're doing!
Not sharp, and the black coating completely covers the edge, so you need to sharpen it at first.
These are nice because they are inexpensive. It is easy to take them into the woods and beat them up. I just can't do that with my Kukri.... 😒
Jason Voorhees.likes this video
that machete is wasy to flexable
to cskninves do you use a brand new machete for every test
Could you ad a handle guard to the bushman

No

Is the bolo machete just as good as the Latin machete?
Evan Arensen For chopping yes, Stabbing no
my grandfather and friend got these and there was paint over the edge
that is jason's machete
gia huy
Jason Brody?
This bald guy literally does not know what he is doing hes turning hes back to the target doing spins and doesnt have proper edge allignment
his target is DEAD its no threat
***** I know its an inanimate object its just that the techniques's are reaaallllllyyy cringy
BaggieGaming he does know martial arts he might have done that to show off
***** of he really knew martial arts and wanted to show it off he would have used proper cutting techniques there is this one video where he does a kata and its literally unwatchable the guys face and the kata are so cringey
The notorious bum fiddler who cares just ask
also what machete would you recommend for a 12 year old
Tramontina Bolo or latin style. Forget CSK machetes. Too much work to get them to the starting point of a Tramontina, or an Imacasa.
Take the head off a broom and use that.
Products in video: High quality
Actual products: Bad quality
Ezra Hann You have to sharpen it
Passed the meat shoe test.
I love cold steel, and their videos are awesome. But the addition of the uniforms, is just corny as fuck.
How much is it?
I've bought one for €30,-
Is that big dude carrying a 1911
so bendy
deividukas Yeah, a machete is supposed to bend. However on the longer blades (22”+) they get too floppy at that same >2mm thickness.
However for the 18” version, 2mm thick is fantastic. Bendy, but not floppy.
😱
mine came dull...
If it was just dull you got an exceptional one. Most look like they were ground by a chimp with Parkinsons who drank too much caffeine.
The blade is A bit wobbly
Ok thanks, that is good to know
The 18 inch version is much more stablr
+Gillian Lim Productions 18 inch is not...but you need to sharpen the blade when you get a new one
Hey if I send you a ham...
I bought one of these and it is junk first thing I did was Chinese broadsword form and promptly bent it by just swinging it around I tried chopping some blackberries with it and it bent even worse the steel is garbage maybe I got a bad one I don't know but this one was just terrible and unusable
Hey cold steel i see that wiggle😑
meanwhile my 24 inch latin machete is all bent and warped.
oh hey look my comment is still here
What are you cutting with it? And also HOW are you cutting your targets? With proper technique or are you just beating the thing with the machete?
show cutting thru pig body with bones inside
What boots is Mr. Thompson wearing ?
Thanks
I choose a machete over a gun
Chris Tweed me too more messy
Way too flexible.
Hahahahahahahahahah.
Heh.
Зачем орать а
Tramontina é melhor
Imacasa
Sawback machetes are no good
What would really be the use of that? Besides, sawbacks on machetes are not such a good idea. They may look neat, but it will cause problems down the road.
I had a friend snap his Ontario 18” sawback while chopping a small dead pine. Second half of the blade somehow ricochet back up and nailed him square in the abdomen. Luckily he wasn’t too hurt. But it hurt like hell, I could see it.
The point is, in between every saw tooth on the spine, there is a sharp angle joining them. If a knife maker knows anything is that very sharp/acute plunge lines on hardened steel is not a good idea. These little joints are very acute and when the machete is used to chop, as shock is sent through the blade, guess where it also goes? Yes, those sharp little grooves. You may not be able to see it, but with impact work, that stress begins to form tiny microscopic cracks there. Eventually these propagate into the blade, similar to how a small crack on your windshield eventually turns into a long breakage. At that point failure is only a matter of time. One day on a hard chop, your machete is just going to snap into to pieces.
So I urge you to stay away from a sawback machete from any brand. Stay safe 👍
@@Divine_Serpent_Geh thanks for the friendly advice
Diswazzi No problem. People underestimate just how quickly things can go wrong when your swinging a large blade. Especially one that is of risk of breaking.
If you’re looking to use it for what it’s made for, get one of the regular latin machetes. The two handed variant is just awkward (Note: that’s my opinion, you might like it), but the way a machete is used, the long handle will just cause problems for me. You’ll have to finish the sharpening yourself, but once you do it, it will be a good, tough tool. CS makes pretty strong stuff, and have no complains about their 1050 steel.
The quality control for this product is terrible.
