Definitely has potential, you did a fine job of making it useful, and exceptional job on the edge, impressive shaving still after the prior use 👍 neat idea too adding the emergency items.
Thank you. It is useful once you do the work to fix it. I do like the little pouchs on it. Hide away a little bit of kit for the random things that could happen.
they are on the softer side, i have a larger one and it got dents from hacking brambleberries. i´ve convexed the edge, now it is better. would be great marbles would go up a few hrc. i like the concept of the knife, nice video, thanks
Atteood micro cord has a 100lbs test, that is nice and small. The machete is great. A little small when swinging it but for the price its great. I stripped mine and redid the handle and gave it a mustard patina. It looks real good now. I definitely appreciate this little chopper. I would add some way to touch up your edge to the kit, the jungle bowie is budget so the edge will take damage I keep that gerber in the pouch of my Ontario RD6 sheath.
@@Robertssurvivalsystems it's Attwood micro cord. Like mini bank line. 125foot roll for under $10. The roll is about the size of a small yo-yo. I spelt it wrong
If you have never tried the BPS Avenger you really should get you one! Hell they would probably give one to you for a review! They are around 35 bucks and at that price nothing can touch it for a camp knife that's capable of some pretty damn hard use with that 1066 carbon that they are probably running at like 54hrc or so.. you can literally beat that knife stupid, I've batoned with it on pieces that are just asking to break a knife or leave you a blade that's bent and twisted from the grain pattern and knots and that 1066 takes it like a champ. If your cutting abrasive items the edge retention is poor but if your using it out in the woods as it's made for where you mainly cutting wood and other organic things and for that the edges hold up excellent on 1066 it just can't handle cutting abrasive synthetic medias and hold an edge. It strops back beautiful with a simple diamond strop and if you have damaged the apex with some minor rolls a simple ceramic rod will clean the roll right up and if it's starting to dull that ceramic rod will touch it back up with a light micro bevel in just a matter of seconds and bingo it's back to hair poppin. While I don't think they would make anyone a good EDC fixed blade in that 1066 as it's just to soft and can't handle abrasive cutting media to be an EDC steel imo as things like plastics, card boards, foams and other type of daily cutting task type use as it will kill the edge on it quick. So long as your mainly using it on organic medias that 1066 does shockingly well and is tough tough tough. On the avenger it doesn't have that thick of blade stock and I hammered it in to a oak tree about 1 inch or so deep and then used it as a step was no problem and I hammered it in about half and inch deeper and stepped back on it and even with me bouncing a little bit I didn't bend or break it. Now I'm only 5'4 110-115lbs but it took that much weight with it only hammered in just enough so that it wouldn't slip out as I stood on it and that was impressive to me.
WELL I don't know how to say this without sounding like an 🐎but here goes anyway --- those are awful items --- you should always have a folding knife, BIC lighter, small LED flashlight and ferro rod in your pants pockets when you go in the woods. As for the pockets on the knife sheath put some water purification pills in the smaller one and a fishing kit in the bigger one would be more logical choices.
@@Hutzjohn you have nothing to worry about. You are more then welcome to express your opinions. My Edc covers most things. I even carry a pin water filter on me. Feel free to always give us your input. You might help myself and others out ! Thank you kindly for watching and giving my video that much thought.

@@RobertssurvivalsystemsI assumed the pockets were for a sharpening stone and oily rag for rust, seems a good place for those anyway
The lower pocket had a stone in it, the top one had nothing in it.
Good Morning Sunshine 🌄
Good Morning, I hope it is for you at least, last I saw you ran into a mountain lion !
Mornin' !
Good Morning !

would be great marbles would go up a few hrc.
i like the concept of the knife, nice video, thanks
Thank you very much. It is a good concept. I wouldn't mind paying a little for that upgrade.
Good work making it usable
@@Bushwhacker01 thank you much. It came out alright
Yeah this is a cool knife! I'm making a new handle and taking the orange off and probably gonna blue the blade. Their parang is pretty cool too!
@@phila1714 good luck on the project 👍 if you think about it, let me know how it turns out

I do want to dress it up and make it nicer. That cordage sounds like a good idea.

Sometimes you just gotta dance with what brung ya
This was more like a quick jog lol.
The Marbles Parang gets crazy sharp. Push cutting paper sharp. Its big and goofy but its worth the price
I got a few more machetes from that company. I like them.

Wow that is impressive. I will look into that. Thank you very much for sharing that info! And thank you very much for watching.
