CUSTOM MACHETE Challenge!

That Siegle is a chopping machine... I bet it'll out chop an axe of the same weight.

I happy the Mini P got to you, Horndog... was there any Zombie guts on it?

The knife is unscathed, Rick. I gave it a light strop on a ceramic rod and it will shave the hair off my arm. Even my daughter, who usually doesn't pay any attention to my choppers, liked the mini P. The knife has big juju. :D
You do art, Rick.
 
I kid you not, I dreamed about that damn parang last night...

That is a wicked blade!
 
HOLY CRAP RPN. I DID TOO. I also Kid not. I dreamed I only had the sheath but no parang, and rick was in town and really pissed. I woke up this morning and had to double check the thread that Vic got it. That is TWO dreams about the Parang on the same night Rick. Make some more, FATE IS WITH YOU!

Like I said, BIG juju. :eek: It's my dream short chopper.

Just gone back through this whole thread !

Awesome job as always on the testing and pics Vic, you are truly in a class of ya own when it comes to these testing threads !!!;):thumbup:

Although they all look awesome I think the Siegle is my personal favourite based on the style of the blade, Ricks looks very tempting as well though !
 
If I could afford it, I'd get Siegle's too. The knives are the same size but totally different in feel. Siegle's is a chopping machine, with great ergonomics.
 
Will get to some of the videos this weekend if all goes well!
 
Kinda new to this forum... just wondering if the other vids and/or results of the challenge were posted in another thread that I missed or wasn't aware of? I found this one via a general search for "custom machetes".
 
Yeah, in the mean time, Rick reminds me that ya'll should watch his wildertool demo again :D

If I watch it one more time I just know I'll break down and either accost Horn Dog with ceaseless emails begging him to sell me that Marchand mini parang or do the same to Rick himself to make me one. I. NEED. THAT. TOOL.
 
So just spent the last few hours reading this thread from start to finish....or should I say continuation. What an awesome bunch of blades. Can't wait to see the rest of the video's.
 
Sorry for the length in time these took.

David Farmer and Koyote, ya'lls are still ongoing and will be a little bit more. I truly apologize for the time that it has taken to put these together. I've been up to my ears in projects lately and haven't had much time for anything but the most important stuff. I'll be on the forums more from now on.

Who's taking bets that the Bushcraft knife challege will be complete by the time Joe finishes the rest of those videos???

:p
 
Joe - you are much more proficient with that machete than I was!

Thanks for doing these video reviews:thumbup:

Glad to see you working those machetes hard:D

Bruce
