Great one Cliff! Your videos are always so comprehensive and packed full of valuable info 👍 That little tip that you shared in here about taking the burr off of your blade using the cambium layer of a tree was a gem brother! 👍
Quality parang machetes are pretty awesome in my opinion. Decent at slicing through greener vegetation and good at chopping through branches and even small trees.
Reminds me of a tobacco knife growing up. Thin, cheap, sharp piece of steel attached to an end of a stick. You used the same grip in your hand that allows the knife to whip and cut right thru the tobacco stalk.
The ultimate survival tool is to bring a Cliff Grey with you. He doesn’t fit in your pocket and isn’t any extra weight you need to worry about carrying around but he will help when the time is needed. Hehe
🍻 Great overview on the three tools. One problem with the Corona type carbide scrapers is that they only contact the blade at a point, and not over an area like a stone or file. This can cause an uneven edge if you're not careful. I suggest being sure you apply even pressure, and don't use it on a blade that has nicks in it.
Thanks Cliff, love the content and all your vids. Congrats on the Rogan podcast, massive acheivement. From a hunting perspective, sometimes we still need to dispatch the game and I found that sometimes smaller knives were innefficient, of course shot placement is still key but would you think a machete or kukri would be good to humanely dispatch game? I am constantly amazed how tough animals are. I would love to hear your thoughts on Scout rifles too. Sending love from Australia
Thanks! I prefer a rifle/pistol for dispatching game. Outside of that, I’ve killed a few with a sharp hunting knife. I feel like that is a lot more practical than using a machete.
Yeah, I get my coconut water from a small lined cardboard box. Much easier to open but not as good.... A lot of poisonous snakes, spiders or scorpions there?
Ha! that type of coco water isn't too bad! Nothing super venomous around. Technically racer snakes are venomous, but it's mild. Lion fish in the ocean.

Hey, great to hear from you IA! Hope you've been well. 🙂
@@Dan__W Thanks Dan! What a great surprise hearing from you too! All is going well (thanks) 👍 I hope that you've been doing well also my friend. 🙂
I live in Hawaii and a Latin style machete is a must have. File&oil good for decades

I like the Silky NATA and Yoki. Both very sharp, well built, well balanced, and all around quality tools from a reputable company.
I'll check them out
ok not a machete but would love to hear your opinion on the kukri

Hehe
As a side note. The few times I’ve had MyShitties, Pepto bismol really helped me out. Nothing helped that sharp cutting edge more
bwhaha this made me laugh out loud
this made me laugh out loud even louder!
The most common in Puerto Rico is the Tres Canales

thanks. great tips on the carbide sharpener
I'm trying to sharpen my horse hoof knife. Using chain saw file now. Not working so well. What do you use for them Cliff?
Thanks
Good vid
Try the FP Hoof Knife. Curves on hoof knives are brutal to keep sharp.

I was raised in the island of PR. There are snakes, scorpions and spiders but none are venomous.
