I knew I felt a disturbance in the force when I saw you were reviewing anything made by Schrade! 🤣
And the incessant wild honking of the hornbird in the woods
Jess X would have destroyed that limb in the beginning. It’s just going to take something way more impressive than this for me to even consider Schrade again. Especially after the massive injustice. I know it’s new people, but the nasty taste is still there. Forgive but don’t forget. That thing bites in too far for chopping in my personal opinion.
Totally surprized by the Decimate Bolo, pretty damn good for the money. I hope your design will get a 2nd chance. :)
What's the Cost
Appears sort of a Barong/Bolo hybrid. Around the house/backyard performance looks good... however, an overstrike into the unknown (doing "machete stuff") vs. easy going casual could likely spell catastrophe/misadventures of chipping breakouts to the hollow-grind. Ergos look great tho'!!! Could make for quite an interesting big fish blade. Side-note Chris: I still have the BRK Springbok II 3V going strong that I purchase from you several years ago.
Well thought out comment. Here in the Caribbean those "overstrike into the unknown" happen! Big fish blade?🤔
I think that blade shape is called a Barong.
True. But I remember it as a leaf blade for a long time.
lorddemonoss3945 Barong is a local south Phillipine word to describe the larger (short sword size) leaf shape knife, usually with a handle that is dropped relative to the center line and has a hook at the butt for retention during a swing. So you are correct that the blade profile is a leaf shape. I used the term Barong to separate it from other size leaf shape blades or with different handles for example the Spyderco pocket knife that has a leaf shape blade. Not trying to say you are wrong in any way just explaining why I chose the word I chise.😊
Not for nothing, but Gideon’s Tactical just pointed out that Blade HQ has the non-serrated Gerber Prodigy for $35. American made for $35. Not bad. Even though it is 420HC and a not-so-great handle.
I'm sure Schrade searched for their finest specimens knowing you were going to be reviewing them.
Wow! That Schrade is a total BEAST! Great review Chris!
I have the first version , with no coated blade , for about 3 years. At first i was very sceptical about the 3Cr13 steel and the little hollowed grind edge....but the use or better saying the abuse i throw this tool to, is beyond logic! I really don't know what Shrade did with this heat treatment, but it overscores many other tools of the market, triple the price!! For the cons ...ok it's a heavy blade, you can't swing that beast for a long time,.....the next day you will need an orthopedic! But the handle absorbs all the vibrations, and i m opening paths for retrieving humting kills , at thick bushes with just raising it , and let the gravity work for me. Over all, great vfm , and i always keep it in use when i go for hunting.
More of a barong than it is a bolo. Most interesting thing i have seen from schrade since your original version of the jess x!
Well I never thought I'd see the day that you review more Schrade...
Thats a parang with a slight falcatta styled handle.
The stuff they are making this year looks better but I don’t know how appropriate AUS is in knives this large. I’d rather have the 64MN they used to use. It’s soft but it can take some serious abuse and excels in cold winter work. AUS is great for a thin slicer.. not a thick bushcraft blade but it’s all subjective I guess.
Just found it on Amazon for $51.94
that blade shape, I would class as a modified barong. not my usual first choice for a machete, but it does have historical and even some modern uses. the oldest I have heard of were used as a sword in the Philippines. I would like this a lot more if it were 1075, or even D2
I was thinking the exact same thing.
Great blade, great review. And hope you get better soon, this hellish heat and humidity makes breathing a challenge for anyone; like having a heavy, hot wool blanket wrapped around your head and chest, and trying to breathe through a soda straw. Take care.
Always rootin for ya bud and for schrade. Do something cool schrade, work with chris.
I like the barong shape and handle, yes I'd like better steel. Might have to buy schrade now that Ontario is gone.
Really glad that I grabbed an original Jess X back in 2018 before they were all replaced. It travels in my truck toolbox for splitting wood when we take the travel trailer camping. $27.98 shipped. Unbeatable value and function from a chopper.
I still have my first run Jess X as well. it's a really tough chopper
Me too!
Didn't know they had a new version. I still use the old one around the homestead. Its my go to for a beast mode chopper. Always been impressed with it considering the steel. I've always figured whoever did the heat treat on mine musta been on the old team from those magical Jess-X days. This new version gives me hope Schrade can comeback. Thanks Chris
Great value, put an edge on it, wax it, and put it in the sheath and the back of the side by side and forget about it till you need it.
They should improve and bring back the schf43
That is designed after Filipino fighting/work Bolo , I like it
Remarkable surprise with that chopper demonstration. How does it compare to the Fari Kukri Machete? - Tennessee Smoky
Buy a JXV! I got mine about a week ago and that knife is amazing.
We all felt the resurgence of the Schrade empire! It’s a Bolo, btw. Built by people like my wife from Manila. Tough as nails and built to build houses with in the jungle.
For every thing from clearing to shingles to home defense, this is what a Bolo would be if designed for centuries. Love my original. It’s a versatile weapon.
That blade shape is the Filipino Barong.....really useful all purpose design....The Moro tribesmen used them and scared the hell out of the marines when they occupied the Philippines late 1800s early 1900s.....they lopped off so many heads and limbs they started issuing LEATHER COLLARS CLAD IN STEEL......the reason marines are called LEATHERNECKS
They also developed the .45 because of their toughness! The puny old pistols they were issued didnt pan out well....he tribesmen would take multiple shots and still get within killing distance
FILIPINOS are tough with very skilled martial arts systems involving bladed weapons
I have worked with many and employed them and you wiuld be hard pressed to find more honest hardworking people....devout christians and Catholics too
Seems like Schrade may have learned their quality control lesson, which may serve them well in their “future endeavors” …hopefully.😏
3cr is tough but it won’t hold an edge.
one of the Resident Evil movies had our heroine dual wielding Kukris I can see this shape fitting easily into that scenario
That would be cool but they need to stop making everything hollow ground just like they ruined Jess X and that was a sick knife, a buddy of mine has a Gen 1.
It works on this one
It would still perform better if it had the traditional grind of the real barongs I own.....they are flat ground convexed with a distal taper....really helps performance
The cold steel barong machetes are really good too in 12 and 18 inch....cheaper as well and made with actual carbon steel not alphabet Chinese pot metal
@@bradfarrahgerwing154 If it was flat ground it would be too thin and chip edge. Real barong has thicker spine. This Schrade is 3.9 mm spine, Cold Steel Barong is only 2.8 mm. Schrade is a heavy chopper and this grind and stainless steel performs well on it, I'll take over Cold Steel version for heavy chopper, it's more substantial blade.
Nice video, take care .......
Some Anakin Skywalker..awesome 😂... Well that's a pleasant surprise, I didn't think it would be that good.
Greetings from Netherland
I could see doing a better grind while changing the blade shape to anything you wanted and then reheat treat.
Profile is the most important thing in a knife, as for as cutting and durability goes.
Real barongs that I own are flat ground and convexed with a distal taper.....makes a HUGE difference
When someone like you gets pleasantly surprised over something like Schrade, hey man, I'm in! This is "your" backyard! The AUS-8 Leroy is already on its way (30 bucks on Amazon btw!) and now I'm giving that Barong some thought too!!! This is a good series you're doing here. Yeah Chris, I'm in!!!
That's a beast. The Schrade Radok folder is also a monster . We knives stole the design and won knife of the year for it. Same lines , same shape same knife just a button lock instead of a cross bar lock. How they got away with it I'll never know.
I think it works.....Weight x Downforce....weight behind the blade edge....humm....
this makes me releived i haven't balked at getting 3cr choppers, machetes and hatchets. now i'm thinking a hollow ground with a thick blade stock might be a winning formula after all
After the bait and switch, i never considered buying anything from schrade. It's unfortunate I never got to hold a Jess X
Be a leader not a follower be smart not a idiot i seen 10 dollar knives outdo a 500 dollar knife many time's just a fact you know Chris you know
Another great vid and a seriously nice surprise ,that seems like a whole lot of practical blade to me .Not sure I fancy taking on any mythical creatures with it especially the larger big teeth variety so if you don't mind I will leave that to the younger men like yourself .Mean while thanks for another blade I can add to the budget collection with confidence .
Falcatta ! ❤
Did you catch that crap with the sinus infection and horrible chest congestion? It's been beating me up for like 2 weeks!
Damn hollow grind 😕 yeah it’s sharp, but……
How does it compare to Kershaw camp 10?
Camp 10 better suited for wood processing overall (esp. batoning). This one feels more "weapon-ish"...
Its all about factor's it just depends on various things for the knife snobs watch about 5 joe x videos maybe you can understand give him a m tech and a tops knife see what one makes it the longest or any of them lol lol m tech will give the so called best a run for the money just facts
UK price from an EU supplier is the equivalent of $56
Great demonstration! Can't wait to see the Schade sword.
Did that used t be the Jethro? I like my old Jethro. One of the best choppers out there.
Jethro was different
Jethro is amazing and IDK why they don't make it anymore, that was more of a kukri shillin and it was a beast. I was going to do a video on it the other day until I saw they don't sell them anymore
how are you cleaning your ceramic rods lately ?
How did i find myself in this Universe? Cold Steels snapping, Schrade 3cr machete chews through wood like a champ?!?!?!?
Mandela Effect
Very nice knife
Had one of the original ones blade chipped out with very little use
BRING BACK THE JESSICA X. #bringbackjessicax
Good job Chris! I like the review!
I thought you and schrade had a falling out.
Too scared for a tip test huh after the Cold Steel disaster?
It's a "barong" shape....
Bolo has a hump nearer to the tip....
Mate...I hate hollow grind as well....but it has merrit....but I prefer other grinds
This sort of crap is why I stopped following you....adapt or get left further behind....
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️❤️
What sort of "crap"?
@preparedmind101 forget it....
I should have said nothing and just scrolled on, will do next time.....
@@shannondixon9031 Why so dramatic?
Scharade not as good as they used to be.
to me it is a typical barong or bolo by shrade
Just watched this man saying nice comments about Schrade, hollow grind, and 3cr steel while staying calm with a car alarm going off during the review. Not sure who this man is but he looks a lot like Chris Tanner.🔪
I couldn't hear the car alarm because my head is so stuffed up.
@@preparedmind101 - Not sure what your going through but hope you get on top of it soon and get your snarl back.🥩
Looks pretty sweet to me Chris.
BURONG ❤
looks like th chance in hell
Love you brother, do what you do....
Poison ivy!! 😫
Need to boost your immune system. No vaping, fruits and veggies no grease for a while some light exercise.

Hey all, how much have I missed?
This looks practically identical to the schbolo
