The enep is the best machete ever! I ordered 2 of them when they were first available this year. You can literally chop down a small tree with it! It will always stay sharp as long as the edge doesn't get chipped.
How would you fix a chipped edge? Mine has a little bit of marring
The e-toh is great for chopping into a big bush tree, and or chopping into tree roots.
@@ivysinistra Get Sharp with a Whetstone Because the knife may not be sharpened like a blacksmith in Thailand.
Aranyik Machetes are finally back in stock, for around $40 you get 5160 with a convex edge, extremely durable, hand forged in Thailand, the E-Nep is kind of like a kukri, but the tip it more in-line with the handle, the E-Toh is more like a cleaver.
+WeAllJuggleKnives I picked up one of the new E-neps because of your other reviews of them. Oh man, thing is a tank. Thanks for all the content and furthering my blade addiction.
+Colson Customs Welcome, I'm glad you're using yours in good health!
+WeAllJuggleKnives How thick are those machetes?
+VisayasMindanaoLuzon 3/16ths of an inch thick.

If you will be in apocalyptic zombie, world war, or alien invasion scenario. Which of the two you will choose, choose one only.
I wish u still did these hard use testing vids consistently. I miss them.
Good video, I really like the longer handles and pinned handle scales. I saw some great machetes in Southeast Asia but many of them had simple wood the handles glued or pressed on.
Finally got to play with both- awesome choppers! The E-toh could be a good alternative to a hatchet or small axe, in my opinion. Definite keepers.
I finally bought the e-toh on ebay! Someone had it in stock. Hell yeah! I can’t wait to demonstrate it felling a tree better than any felling axe.
I ordered these two myself. they both came paper-cutting sharp. I'd love to take them out on an excursion but I dont have sheaths yet.
All right! I'm glad to see these available again! I'm not going to miss out this time, these are gotta haves.
Got the E-Nep and the E-toh today. Yeah they are rough but both should get the job done. Serious blades! I wonder where I can get scabbards or sheaths for these big puppies
We went right to the Aranyik webite, spoke with Miles and got the E-toh, E-Nep and 25" Standard Latin Machete. Just make PVC sheaths. They work great.
I love Aranyik stuff, I have older models of both these, I need to see if there's more new stuff is up now that they're back in stock
uh, the hybrid machete, (monster cleaver) is close to the weight of a hatchet, 2.5 lbs, however the handle does offer counter balance due to the length..
these are next on my list love the style
It was probably this video that made me get this duo :).
Waiting for my E-Nep to arrive. Already planning on customization I want to do to it.
1. Grind in a finger choil
2. Sharpen the edge up to the choil
3. Grind a bowie knife clip point tip
4. Paracord and tape wrap the handle
+Bevan Jonsson Sounds awesome!
Bevan Jonsson went I can buy this
I'd like a two handed extended version of the e-toh. Can I ask them to custom make one for me? Maybe like 36 inches long total? Similar to the cold steel dadao. A sword machete chopper.
Yes he does make custom blades, although sometimes people ask for crazy Rambo type knives and he does not like that, but a 2 handed version of E-toh sounds perfectly fine to me :D
Thanks for the review Israel. I will pick one up.
+Terri 634 Excellent, enjoy!
very nice bro! they look like they mean business!
my Etoh cuts lots quicker but I use my enep with a custom kydex sheath made judt for it as a bushcraft walkabout. ..etoh is more of a camp ax
A little rough? Damn those scales were rubbish. Looks like they chop well though!
Hey, have the same and others, is Miles still exporting these ?
bought these two awesome tools!!
+Ivan Machuca Congrats! You will like them!
Now those are some badass blades!
+Jeremy Madsen Yeah!
I'm trying to find and record the various blade stamps/etchings on genuine Aranyik blades. I assume the ones near the handle are makers marks and the other random symbols are the leaf spring stamps but I'm speculating because there is little to no info available. If you have info or a range of examples of the makers marks in would be very grateful! I'm hoping to trace each mark to a family in Thailand, and explore their work and techniques. Thank Sensei!
My udom is great and makes everything Gravy the Etoh is badassary
I have one of these new e-neps and freaking love it. Planning to make a kydex sheath for it, if I can find a long enough sheet.
+Colson Customs Awesome, I'm glad you like yours!
Just stumbled on these and went to the big A to order. 2 left so one is now mine. Now the other is gone as well and Miles (is that right?) is off on holiday, his own site resting til he gets back...all his items on Amazon pulled. So - Looking forward to this beast. I have bought several Bidor items, pulled the cheap handles and redone them...and made wood scabbards. My favorite biggie is a Bark River Golock out of A2 steel with basic Micarta handles. An amazing steel and a sweet tool. Thanks for your excellent Vids here.
+David Mathews Those are all great brands you mentioned, Aranyik, Bidor, and Bark River, I also have a re-handled Bidor from MyParang.com
+WeAllJuggleKnives I too used the copper plumbing tubing/end cap bolster piece on my re-handle project. I do like their hiding and protecting the pin inside the copper sleeve though. Great idea. I did one of the smaller Bidor Parangs in an antler handle piece that I then scrimmed with a Nordic design. Unique cultural melange there. lol
I love my E-Nep..great knife lousy sheath know were i can get one made?
It is a combination of axe and knife. Ancient Thai people can make hut in one day by this knife. It is well-known as farmer knife. They carry every day for farm job.
I wish this company was still around I should have picked up one of their Latin machetes these tools last
I'm sure the village and the blacksmiths are still there, it's just difficult to get them to market over here.
The website still up, homie.
@@szilardfineascovasa6144the links aren't working for me do you have a link
Oh yeah. I have experience in blade shapes. I found out from abusive usage and tests. Billhook and straight blades chop and cleave better. Katana curved blades are okay, not as powerful.
What's the name of the enep blade geometry style?
in thailand about $10 price
+WaWano1st(วรพรเอกริน) Not all Thai machetes are Aranyik. Some of the cheaper copies do not even have hardened edges.
+WeAllJuggleKnives If you go to Thailand Go to Ayutthaya You can see real Aranyik knife $10 price or cheaper
+WaWano1st(วรพรเอกริน) Thanks, I will. (But the plane ticket will cost $1000) LOL.
hahahaha
+WeAllJuggleKnives most video i love you bro
I don’t know why this thai machete e-toh style blade shape is underrated? Maybe because it is heavy? From my personal experience. It fells down trees way better than kukri machetes, cane machetes, or latina style style machetes. The thick and powerful spin and the wide straight blade shape, makes it a powerful beast. Similar to the ram dao sword. Although it is a short machete. The design makes it a powerful tree feller machete.
It's a true survival blade, come the end of the world you want a heavy E-Toh for chopping and a small scandi knife for slicing.
Very nice!
Etoh or hybrid cleaver? Which is more powerful in the chop?
The Hybrid Cleaver
@@WeAllJuggleKnives k thx
You gotta give the E-toh it's own review
I want to order.Is the site work ?
i have much Aranyik that all hand made cheap price very good work
aranyik very old band good sure
+Max Maxky Yeah these rock!
So I was just looking at their site and was going to order one the E-NEP said it was 7 inch blade 3/16 thick. Is that the one you are demoing? or i's the K1 different?
Mike Palma 7 inches is a bit small im not sure. Hmmm, look at the handle on the website,if it is darker, and has 4 pins and longer, it should be the k1. You can alwase ask aranyik, he will reply
Wow, $39 is a bargain! I just ordered the E-Nep
i'm about to get mine for 25$ each, BUT A WHOPPING 15$ FOR SHIPPING
SugrBop it's about $ 35 to get them over here in europe🙄😆
That Cleaver..... WOW! Serious chopping power. Would take the head off a Zombie in one swipe for sure!
+Evil Droid It would, fear me, the walking dead!
Much better than schrade products...................
Say Heah Is, Seriously, Puh-lease do a face-off with the E-Nap vs. The O. K. C. Gen2 SP - 53, Puh-lease, and that E-Toh looks alot like my Ka-Bar Zomstro, It's got a Coping Tip too, Which reminds me of a Japanese Carpenters Hatchet. ,, .
i like the second one
in this video sty 1
E-nab
and
2 call E-to
Man thats a sharp ass blade, lol ...What type of grind did you put on the blade?
It came with a convex grind already :]
WeAllJuggleKnives what method or tools did you use to resharpen a convex grind?
power baby... POWER
+JW's BulletsNBlades Unlimited POWAAA
How do you tell if one is real or not?
Usually the knockoffs are not heat treated well and the blades will be semi-flexible. Aranyik like these two in the video are rigid.
E-toh vs kukri
Zombies where? These things will make zombie soups just a beast of a blade these are lol.
Far from novelties. These machetes are so durable that they are the first and the last machete you will ever need to buy. These machetes must be one of the few products in the world that are produced without planned obsolescence.
+PowerMadHeadBanger Yeah these are pretty indestructible, if I had to only bring one blade I'd bring something like this because it is not going to break.
+PowerMadHeadBanger Yeah these are pretty indestructible, if I had to only bring one blade I'd bring something like this because it is not going to break.
LOL "What's not to like!" Yes, a happy toy in the hands of the right person. To tell the truth, I don't know what to think of them and I don't know what I'd do with them. Weird and interesting blades.
+Teachering I don't strictly need them too but I would buy one of these for doomsday purpose.
+PowerMadHeadBanger Yes, they'd certainly function well as a Zombie killer.
+Teachering They're great to have around the yard. pruning trees and such. Or camping.
barely 10 seconds and I want both
+DarkStar Silver Glad you like my Steven Spielberg effects LOL.
i like them bubba
+Bubba Love Thanks, Bubba!
Millions of thais using etohs its like a hatchet in the west....parangs are for vines.
you should have said it was blood stains from an irritating neighbor !
Sharp enough! Hahaha!
+Survivalkraft Heh, yeah. This ain't a folder where a quick wrist flick will do it, this has to be real sharp to do that :]
+WeAllJuggleKnives I know! Awesome sharpening skills there, brother!
+WeAllJuggleKnives How did you sharpen these blades to get them that sharp? I just ordered the E-Nep and want it to be able to slice through water bottles, too. Thanks
I'm not manly enough for those blades.
+Armed Rogue They do have a "Rambo disembowelling someone look to them."
+WeAllJuggleKnives Rambo? When I see these I hear Arnold say "Git to da Choooppa!" +Armed Rogue The E-Nep comes in different sizes, I think the 7 inch one would be more to your liking.
dam it i want one of these so bag its not funny any more:)x
The machete is a useless tool. knives and hatchets much better
+ivaudio1 They're completely different tools with different purposes. You don't see people clearing vines and brush with axes often, nor do you see people cutting down trees with machetes. No one takes an axe to the jungle or a machete to Northern Canada.
Trusty Patches you are right. It is used to cut the dense jungle vegetation. machete not need to cut wood.
+ivaudio1 I addressed that point in the video from 0:30 - 0:40. Listen next time.
+WeAllJuggleKnives I saw the video without audio 😆
