I'd like to see Will go thru the jungle of south Florida with an axe. He might change his mind? The discord machete may be a bit overweight but it looks like my kinda blade.
Your a living legend! I love your channel! It never gets old ! I have seen this video about 10 times. And I still love it!!! There are so many awesome large knives ! I wish I was rich so could buy them all ! It's such an expensive hobby. But so much fun !!!
Really notice when someone has axe experience or is learning the axe. The foot placement choices and balance really show up. Also note that there is no stupid lanyard loop on the chopper, I know some people love them, but for me, if my hand gets so tired swinging a large hunk of razor sharp material that I lose grip, the last thing I want is for it to come back swinging past my legs.
+PREPAREDMIND101 One recommendation about spinning blades; keep your fingers (all of them) closed around the handle. It requires more wrist flexibility but if that blade touches anything as you're spinning it there is a good chance it's going to slip right out of your hand. Check out how Kali folks swing their sticks. We don't ever take our fingers off the grip because damn near all control goes out the window. Do what you want, but just a word of caution from someone that had to learn this the hard way (fortunately with a bamboo stick and not a machete LOL).
Machete with a saw back spine are way more useful. Two in one package is a lot better in most cases especially if one is going to carry something that large to woods.
Hey! You are great man! I have a question: why the rescue tape under the Wilson grip? The Wilson is a good solution for my big hands, thank you very much from Italy. Do you know fox knives?
I wanna see more karma videos! I love the discord machete, it's so badass looking and made so well for only around 100 bucks! Can't go wrong please make more videos with this blade!
I thought it was a bit boring. But the complainers want to see "camp tasks" so that's what I did. There will be another one with nothing but pointless carnage and destruction.
I have another question: is the handle of moonshiner condor more bigger than bk9 handle? i have the bk9 and bk7 and the handles are too short and little for my hands. Thank you knife man! Hallo from near Milan, Lombardia the land of Beretta Weapons.
Well, machetes sure are great for daily work in South America countryside but sure for very large trees you'd need either a proper axe or a saw. For clearing brush and branches on the way as well as small trunks this thing sure fits the bill.
Loved the Monty Python reference!! " WHAT IS YOUR QUEST?" did not like the ring sound of the blade when Will was clearing the branches on that limb.. That would drive me INSANE! Neat looking tho.. Just not for me.
Loving the vids chris. I know how much you like your condor bushcraft parang, you should check out the condor pack golok. You have probably seen it but that thing is freakin sweet man. And a little bit smaller than the parang.
Well congratulations to that new owner, and sounds like I may need to get a Discord for myself. Thanks for all the great videos keep it up, you inspire me to make my own. I've done one so far, more to come. Take care. Lance.
Hey Chris another great video I've seen alot of these before but I wanted to watchem again a drop a comment. Also I wanted to ask if you've had any experience with the Schrade Leroy Bowie knife and if you have do you think it's a good survival Bowie
Flipping your wrist is cool until you tag yourself with the blade @ 3:23.... Sick blade, found this video after you featured Karma in your bag o blades & best chopper videos. Cant want for this to show up in the mail next week.
I think I have to agree with Will on this one: it strikes me as more of a weapon or collectible than a bush machete. The blade looks too stiff in the video. I'll admit that it looks pretty badass, though.
I always say equip for your environment. I would take a machete, even a massive machete, over an axe almost 100% of the time. However, I don't know that I would call this a Machete. I am sure it's great for around the house, or car carry-in camping, but realistically this would add a ton of weight for a hike-in. Still it is indeed awesome looking, and wouldn't mind owning one! As always PM thanks for the vid!
Michael StJohn Don't listen to that guy, Amazon has it for 105-110$ at your door with prime. That being said...It's overpriced. Any one of my cold steel machetes can out bushcraft this slab of steel. It's good steel and looks cool, just not 100$+ cool. I sent mine back. If it was in the 50$ price range, then yeah its worth it. Otherwise I would just get a cold steel machete.
I wish I wouldda seen this video 2 days ago cause I missed my chance to get this cool machete for around $15.00 cause someone was selling a bunch of them for that price on ebay earlier today and they ended before I saw this video and I didn't know how cool this one really was and I just figured it was like every other cheap machete with a sharpened top edge cause there's cheap ones on their that looked similar in blade design... and I was looking for the dundee bowie and not that knife.. oh well you live and you learn right?
when u chop reist the urge to chop upwards to make a v notch,this is dangerous and if teh blade glance it will com straight at you,just keep cutting from up an make it in steps....you get same effect....this is also how you do it with an axe...make half a v then chop higher up...making a step cut...i also find that removing some of the shoulder on condors grinds helps with gett less glance blows and more biting blows,dont need much material removed but its sloppy safe grind from factory.
That may be... But in 20+ years playing with toys like these I've never hit myself like that. Maybe I'm just lucky. Or maybe the 2D screen always makes it look more dangerous than it is. People tell me all the time "I almost hit myself" and I'm like "Uh....no."
I have one for my bag. I hate Condor sheaths. They suck honestly as a quick grab sheath and I had a custom sheath made from a local maker. He made it for the wrong hand and I won't use him again but I didn't want to wait for a new one since the first took forever. I need a good kydex ambi sheath for mine and I think I may have to just make one myself. The Discord is an excellent all around woods tool though and useful defense weapon in one.
I have their Tactana and that thing is about the best made blade for the money I think I've ever handled. Definitely SHTF approved.
man if you ever lose your mind your neighbors are screwed lol
hahahaha
🤣🤣🤣 omg I can't breath 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
But Babe, Chris told me to get it!
Did you ever do a follow up showing the kydex sheath you mention?
Don't you just love the sound of the blade as it cuts! shing! shing!

I love the sound of that blade swingin' to a hit.
Nice vid!
OH BUGGER!!
I just bought 2 Condor Machetes and they weren't THAT ONE! DAMN.
That one is BEASTY!
Really interested in seeing the kydex sheath you mentioned - planning on getting one myself!
I find it highly satisfying to watch you chop that tree at 5:30
That *SHHLINGG* sound is very satisfying!
I want one just to go crazy on watermelons. Sweet.
Israel turned me on to that Wilson grip tape .... I LOVE it
I'm betting he picked that up from me. We watch each other's channels. He's the only guy more of a blade freak than me.
"What do you want to do to the Vampire that killed your mother!" hahaha Classic!
i love the fancy spin you did with the thing , kinda cool how you learn to do that without chopping off a limb? great vid and review as always!!
I'm just rotating my wrist.

Now that's a "Knife". Love it
Hey! You are great man! I have a question: why the rescue tape under the Wilson grip? The Wilson is a good solution for my big hands, thank you very much from Italy. Do you know fox knives?
I want to ask that question also.
Freaking love this blade it's on my long list of knives I'll most likely never get but wish I could!
Suitable for hiking. Beautiful knife. How many inches long is the blade? How many inches wide is the blade?
I wanna see more karma videos! I love the discord machete, it's so badass looking and made so well for only around 100 bucks! Can't go wrong please make more videos with this blade!
1:37 . Roll the league in that way, you get blisters in your hand. It is better to wind the league upside down.
This has to be one of the best videos you've ever made.
I thought it was a bit boring. But the complainers want to see "camp tasks" so that's what I did. There will be another one with nothing but pointless carnage and destruction.
THAT BLADE IS BADASS I LOVE IT

lmao @ 3:28 when you caught your arm when spinning it
Will it throw a spark... Just playin... Thanks for the show Chris
You use it to subdue a dragon and make it throw the spark for you.
Thank you for reviewing this. I'd been curious about it.
im in love with that blade
This will now be my EDC
Wow. You're the only person I've seen that swings on the outside for safety. Just like I do
Be nice for taking the head off a deer lol!
Super cool. A little long for me being as its thick & has no distal taper but cool.
Loved the Monty Python reference!! " WHAT IS YOUR QUEST?" did not like the ring sound of the blade when Will was clearing the branches on that limb.. That would drive me INSANE! Neat looking tho.. Just not for me.
I'd like to try it. in my line of work I carry a machete and a hatchet. this might do both.
Loving the vids chris. I know how much you like your condor bushcraft parang, you should check out the condor pack golok. You have probably seen it but that thing is freakin sweet man. And a little bit smaller than the parang.
Can I ask where you had your embroidered name tag made? Does it have velcro hook on the back?
Yes it does. I get all my name tapes from www.1800nametape.com
PREPAREDMIND101 Thanks!
Finally someone did a review on this..
Chris, how would you compare the discord to the large Condor parang? I have the parang and love it.
It's 1000x better. My large Parang went bye bye in a GAW. New owner got it Monday.
Well congratulations to that new owner, and sounds like I may need to get a Discord for myself. Thanks for all the great videos keep it up, you inspire me to make my own. I've done one so far, more to come. Take care. Lance.
you should try the condor el salvador machete. it's basically just a latin machete but it's great.
Did you put the rescue tape first, then did you put the wilson grip over that?
Hey Chris another great video I've seen alot of these before but I wanted to watchem again a drop a comment. Also I wanted to ask if you've had any experience with the Schrade Leroy Bowie knife and if you have do you think it's a good survival Bowie

What exactly do you mean its not for the bush? It wouldn't last long? Or something else?
It is to big and crazy to bring in the woods (I carry mine in the woods )
Great. Now I gotta have this one too.
That thing freaks me out will looks tiny next to that beast ! I think they make those out of gods toenails
Se ve buen machete, del tamaño justo, buen balance tambien
How often do have to sharpen a blade beating on it like that?
this thing looks silly fun!!!
Used mine yesterday. Its pretty intimidating.
Lol. At 4:39 Will gives Chris the old one finger salute.
OH MY GOSH I HAVE THE SAME JACKET ok i get excited over the weirdest things lol
Very nice machete !
Nice video. I would have wrapped the micarta as well. I'll have to try uour doible layer method. Thanks!
Like it. Big, but I like it. I wouldn't carry it unless I absolutely needed the Big Machete. Will made a tripod... Cool. Are you guys in a swamp?
i just bought the schf26 and some rubber was missing from the handle. should i send it back or what
Also it kind of aesthetically look better with the tape you have on it
Hey chris could you do a review on the schrade schf9n because on the taylor brands website its the same as the schf9 but the schf9n is stainless steel
Great video
"You don't want karma too bite you in the ass" lol
I think I have to agree with Will on this one: it strikes me as more of a weapon or collectible than a bush machete. The blade looks too stiff in the video. I'll admit that it looks pretty badass, though.
Well yeah its stiff. It's 3mm thick 1075.

Still it is indeed awesome looking, and wouldn't mind owning one!
As always PM thanks for the vid!
That's good weight though. What if your attacked by an Ent? They could be real!
Did you ship it to godspeed or not. I just ordered one on Amazon. Hop it will be here Saturday.
Bailey Newman what did you think of it?
It is a dam monster worth every penny I would but it again
What did it cost to your door?
Michael StJohn Don't listen to that guy, Amazon has it for 105-110$ at your door with prime. That being said...It's overpriced. Any one of my cold steel machetes can out bushcraft this slab of steel. It's good steel and looks cool, just not 100$+ cool. I sent mine back. If it was in the 50$ price range, then yeah its worth it. Otherwise I would just get a cold steel machete.
+Michael StJohn it costed 115$ to the door

Look like fun!
Great name!
please tell me the custom sheath is a back mounted one, that would be hilarious and bad ass at the same time
I still do not get it. Why not carry a compact broad head axe of some kind?
Nice blade.
when u chop reist the urge to chop upwards to make a v notch,this is dangerous and if teh blade glance it will com straight at you,just keep cutting from up an make it in steps....you get same effect....this is also how you do it with an axe...make half a v then chop higher up...making a step cut...i also find that removing some of the shoulder on condors grinds helps with gett less glance blows and more biting blows,dont need much material removed but its sloppy safe grind from factory.

What would you recommend for utility?
I do land surveying I'd love to get my hands on one of these tried to talk my boss into it ... Didn't work bought some cheap ace hardware ones smh 😒
I like thick machetes, in some cases they can replace an axe.
Will looks like he's after "pieces of eight" with that thing in hand!
beautifull machete.
Seriously how do you afford all this stuff? Do they send it to you to review? You must have quite the arsenal!
I bought that. I could tell you but you wouldn't believe me.
Hahaha "let's smack some wood with this". Ha Gayyyyyy!
I uh.....I have buttered my toast with it before....
That is a cool Machete I need to see if I can get it in the UK I got the hawkchete and tested that that was really sharp atb Graham
I need to get another one. I gave mine to ZGB.
PREPAREDMIND101 did Condor quit making this? Can't find one.
+Michael StJohn You can get one from knifecenter.com, and probably from machetespecialist.com.
awesome
Why the rescue tape first? It's not a wood handle that needs water protection.
Did you even watch?
Good one
Jason Vorhees couldn't order this machete fast enough ;)
What would you suggest for a true "woods worthy" Machete?
This one is woods worthy. Anything by Condor, Imacasa, or the plain jane wood handled Tramontina.
Are they survival gangstas?,because they in the wood (get it?)
+REDRUM As opposed to being "In the Hood"
I agree marcarta cost too much to look pretty but highly impractical and personally I don't feel comfortable with them either
Lol this was an awesome video. Great job with the channel man.
"kony ain't got nothin on that" hahaha
+Justin Packard Conan. Not Kony, Conan.
+Clutch lol correct me on almost a year old comment, really that important to ya?
Not important at all, just pointed it out.
+Clutch I see..
thumbs up
thats not a knife, THATS a knife!
Wow that's a machete !!!
review the condor warlock and put it on your store...i'll buy it!!
would you consider this possible as an axe substitute?
you shouldn't have given Sting up
I would consider this as a small saber sword
Most frequently asked question, how does Bryce sharpen your knives?
Check the Survival-Tactics playlist. There is one called "Factory Knife Sharpening at Survival-Tactics"
Thanks man, also keep up the great vids
