#Budget #Choppers #Knives
props to Cold Steel for sending two knives!
Yea but the smatchet is a flimsy machete
@@leemcgann6470 The smatchet is originally a fighting knife (British WW2) not a chopper or machete.
Dr Ergot correct. The original smatchet was/is a great fighting knife. The cold steel smatchet is a thin bladed machete with a blade thickness of 2.8mm & 19.75” long. The Fairbairn Smatchet was only 16.5” with a much thicker blade.
@@leemcgann6470 (1) Raid military heritage for a distinctive name and blade shape, (2) 'broaden market appeal' by muddling it up with... oh, I don't know, it's big, how about a machete?, (3) manufacture as cheaply as possible, (4) ignore the fact that the result is neither one thing nor the other, and makes the Dutch reviewer's hand "go like a fucking cartoon", (5) laugh all the way to the bank.
Dr Ergot I am very disappointed with the cold steel machetes! Lots of very cool/tacticool designs! But the product quality control is pish poor! I bought 2 for short ones for snake dispatching... I cut a green vine the size of my lil finger & rolled the edge over 1/16” . No temper what so ever!
The Skrama will always be the best. Mordor just makes great quality choppers!
It would be great if the Skrama had the same handle as the Silky
lol Mordor
Anything forged in the Fires of Mordor cannot be destroyed unless thrown back into the volcano from which it was made.... Everyone knows that...
🍀🍀🍀✌️😂✌️🍀🍀🍀
@@TheHairOfElendil Fact!
Professionally I use the silky nata. I cut wedges with it and hammer the wedges in with the nata. I cut down brush and tree roots with this knife. I pry stumps. The silky nata is an unstoppable tank of a chopper. Be careful! This is a 2 pound, ten inch long razor.
As i love the vesatility of the Skrama, it is my winner here... the Grip is great and the sharpness is outstanding.... oh yeah, it looks a bit as forged by the Orks, bit i like that.
Skrama is my favorite out of those, but the silky looked great as well! I’ll buy the skrama pretty soon I’m sure. Their puukko is amazing for the price, I use it more often than any other of my knives. So I’m sure the skrama will also be exceptional for the price.
If you buy a Silky Nara, get single edge. It has a sharper chop.
I own the Cold Steel Smatchet for about 3 years now. I stripped the coating, sharpened it to a convex and carved the handle to look like knapped stone
I love that blade. Great temper. Rings like a bell when chopping and holds a decent edge
I think Harey Davidson are some nice choppers
personally i dont think harley has many good choppers
But not under $100 😂
Your mom has good choppers
My personally favorite chopper is the Comanche
@@zachmeyer2718 your mom is a Comanche chopper
I have the
Jaakaripuukko which I love so the Skrama is probably the one I would buy first.. I also considered the Cold steel Kukri and is already on my wishlist but I prefer the Skrama overall.
was waiting for u guys to do a review on the Silky chopper ... love it!!
I own the silky and live in the maine woods and use it to quarter up some pretty hard wood...Its also extremely comfortable and if your looking for a jack of all trades I would recommend the nata...also very durable blade and can be used to de-limb felled trees with very little effort
You guys should incorporate limbing or trail clearing during your chopper knife tests. That would be great info!
The DBK boys all gangsta till someone rolls up with an axe and chops through spacetime
Since you promised you read these comments, I thought I should say you guys are definitely my favorite TH-camrs and have bought many knives based on your recommendation.
I like your top would like to see more with that one. Apparently the Kershaw camp 10 is a good contender for budget chopper.
Very epic intro mickey saying “and all under $100” but then the “ehheeuhuehe” in the background 😂
The Nata is just awesome.
Here in Arizona, my Skrama takes a real beating and never lets me down. Very easy to sharpen as well. Great chopper and all around good knife to have in the outdoors.
I have the Cold Steel Kukri for more than 8 years and I use it a lot, it is great for chopping medium branches and even big ones. Every time I have a garden job I trust him. It is even good in the forest. The most well spend money.
I have the cold steel kurkri machete. It's the longer version of the one you tested. After a little work with a file and some stones, I found it chops really well.
on my screen the video has 7 views and already 21 comments. U have to best Community ?
I have the skrama, the Nata and the Condor K-Tac Kukri....all Great knives and i Love them...but like you Said, the best combo have the Skrama! Great Video! Greetings from Bavaria!
I use the Silky nata in woods and I enjoy the day ,you have the nata you have knife , chopper, axe and multi tool, all in one, and it won't let you down
I love the Skrama. I also like the CS kukri because it's more lightweight and if you only need it for chopping. But if just for chopping I prefer a 10 dollar Tramontina 12 inch latin machete because of the weight. The Skrama is heavier but is more the one tool option because you can carve with it also. I think that extended grip is the key to the success of the Skrama.
skrama forever
Another top video boyzzzzz! My favourite channel. 👍
Kukri would win chopping comp if you sharpened it. Cold steel machetes come with such a bad edge
As someone who owns the same kukri: Sadly, it wouldn't. Sharpening is not enough, you have to re-grind it completely before it stops being a disappointment.
Yeah that looks like a super high edge angle.
As you saw with the skrama, it's not a matter of sharpness only but edge profile, blade thickness and weight
Guys it will be cool to see how these knives perform being sharpened. Thank you for cool videos ;)
Please make a video,about the glock 81 field knife!
For that long time waiting a 1.5 intro was worth it.
Silky, like your baby-soft skin. Feels so good in the hand
Ah, mijn teleurstelling van gister is weer weg en mijn dag is weer goed na het kijken van deze video
Lekker pik
My Silky Nata just arrived today. Beautiful chopper. I can’t wait to use it.
How on earth does this video not have the Ontario Marine raider bowie SP10 in it??????? For around 50 dollars this is imo is the best chopper for under $100. Probably as good as anything that Becker or Esee make for way more $$
I like the Silky best.
You guys should try out the condor mini duku parang had mine for a few years I’ve put a thinner convex on mine and it cuts and chops better than any other tool I own
Loved the video. I think overall the kukri won due to the fact it was only 25 dollars.....25? Thats awesome
Love my Skrama!
Tanks, finally you made the video that I was asking you, I bought the Silky Nata and I'm satisfied in Bush with it I don't need no more things except a saw , Silky is a knife an axe a chopper and a cutter
I love the cold steel kukri magnum; exactly like the one you tested, but a bit longer. Been abusing it for about 3 years, and for about £30 I am over the moon with it.
Keep up the great cheap reveiws!
I love the Silky Nata … second to none! … and the Silky Ono is epic …
FYI 2022 prices; In the U.S. the Silky Nata is 85$ without shipping (likely free) and the Skrama is 80$ (plastic sheath) with shipping (must be paid). The Nata is 23.2 ounces at 16.75in and .19in thick... and the Skrama is 18.5 ounces at 16.9in and .17in thick. I think the Skrama is the winner based on low weight to performance.
I have the the skrama and i never will change
The Terävä Skrama is incredible. They make a double sheath for it, so you can carry the 240 Skrama and either the mini Puuko or the mini Skrama. You'd have your BIG Camp knife/chopper and a small knife for deilcate work. Great choice!
I realy like the skrama for me ist it the best , and i will also buy the jääkäri pukko. You guys do a great job
I can't believe Condor didn't participate in this . With the amount of choppers that they make , how hard would it have been to have an 11 year old El Salvadorian boy to drop one off at the mailbox?
I had the big cold steel kukri for about 5 years it never disappointed it’s not fancy but it gets the job done
The Skramas are so very useful. Really great knives. Way ahead of almost anything out there of this ilk.
Loved the Silky
I just got my Skrama and am very impressed with the factory edge. I usually have to run my Cold Steel machetes through a Smith's before they'll slice paper.
Nicely done,greetings from a Belgian bushcrafter
I would add the silky to my shopping list, in case I wanted a chopper. For now I will stick to knife and small axe. Thanks for the review guys! watch those fingers...
You should make your own DBK knife with the pros and cons you had with those knives!
Im sure one day they will make their own knife with blackjack and hookers
Ontario marine raider would probably win this in my opinion. Ontario has very shock absorbing handles. Ontario's steel is easy to sharpen, and stray sharp for a long time.
I need that Skrama in my life.
Best chopper is one that chops the best
Silkie. But with the Single bevel. It helps to get a flat surface along the length of a piece of wood like for spoon making.
The Skrama looks great. The inline handle would provide a lot of usability and comfort.
If i would need a chopper i would go with the skrama because i like the looks of the knife
In my personal opinion the cold steel Smatchet is more fun as a throwing knife.
About bloody time
Silky nata is always in my backpack now. It is a bit heavy, but I works great as a hutchet, a machete, a draw knife, a knife knife, also satisfying to smash things with :)
It really is. It's a beast of a workhorse
@@DutchBushcraftKniveswhat’s better for batoning, the Nata or A1x?
Wow really amazing video!!! :D
For the money the cold steel Kukri is fantastic. The silky is great too.
Hi DBK, greetings from Chile, I had the Silky Nata, and I can tell you it's great and very versatile, the grid is a little weird for a chopper but works well once you have use to it, so please make a full review.
I’ve had the cold steel kukirie for 5 years I still use it around the house and camp
The smatchet chopping performance was better than i expected because it is sold as a machete. Its not going to chop wood or split nearly as well because of the blade profile. I knew the kukri would do well. It was designed for chopping over 100 years ago. You guys should look into trying out a Himalayan Imports kukri. I'm going to Amazon to look for the Silky chopper right now.
I really enjoy your videos. Filled with solid information and senseful logic; which is hard to come by these days even on TH-cam. Btw... I would really really appreciate if you make a separate detailed review video for the silky nata..
I promise the Skrama really starts standing out above the rest after a couple of hours of chopping.
@Ryan Boswood After 8 years it still stands out above the rest.
Bought mine in 2013. First generation, with a uniform grind along the whole edge.
Got the nata. Good stuff.
Yup!
Top notch video.
i am always a sucker for a kukri blade
I use the skrama with a jaakaripuukko, it is all you need. Don't waste 500 euros on a knive.
Pretty impressive considering you can sometimes find Cold Steel machetes as cheap as $15
Epic, loved it. Skraama.i think i screwed up the spelling, but you know which one. Really good job
skrama was actually made with the experience of quality knife making and military use.
I use the Condor Duku parang for chopping. You should check it out. The 10 inch blade is perfect for a great number of tasks.
Skrama all the way. Also have the CS kukri but if I wanted to test a Nata I’d go with the Tops nata.
Ontario SP53 bolo is weighty and awesome for about $50. You should get one.
I have many Cold steel products. The longer kukuri is amazing. Heck I only used a steel on it to shave paper!!! Blessings 🙏
Skrama for the money and weight/ergonomics. Bark River Dakar in A-2 good balance/weight and handle, but 250.00 U.S.D.. Good work fellas, keep it up.
Found it. The froe is used in battoning and splitting wood for boards b4 saws were commonly used. Not too good at chopping. Good at shingle making.
Try Condor Mini Duku Parang, or Village Parang, are amazing
Grt video. Thx. Cold steel kukri
I would buy the Skrama.
I love my Nata, but for a Kukri I prefer the Ka-Bar Kukri over the cold steel.
I’ve had a silky for a few years and like it a lot. But the skrama is king!
I'll take a Kuhkri everyday, have never used the cold steel kuh. but something about that front heavy re-curve that just works well for me. Waiting for BRK to make one!
Like from Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
I have the Skrama in Carbon steel and its a dream to use, I was on the fence about the Silky Nata but from your testing I will definitely have to pick one up.
This is perfect dbk video
U fellas got the best channel on TH-cam
I would love to see you check out the extrema ratio ks kukri
You can join to the competition the Condor Atrox. Will be great to see it.
The silky looks interesting. From experience I like the kukri
Fourknife is like my favorite game
Hi guys, I propose you to look at Tramontina and Condor. They have great propositions under 100 $ and it will be great to see your opinion for them. Have fun from Bulgarian knife lover.
Ontario SP 53 is my personal favorite.
At first I thought it was an episode of "Pimp my Knife"
I don`t know which one is my faforite , the Nata or the Skrama. I think i would buy the Skrama....
