u make only cheap knives test.. make bravo 1 3v test that will make reputation of You much more respectable... 👍❤️🇱🇹
This is not true, in this channel there are also expensive knives, also bark river
It will break like the others.
you can donate to him knife for testing any time
Or paying Joe some coffees/beers!
He already did test 3V from Bark River:
th-cam.com/video/228vJZLwABg/w-d-xo.html
JOE X also did Fällkniven CoS, VG-10, Elmax, Cold Steel 3V, S35VN, and many more expensive knives. You just need to look
These make me appreciate the 1075/1095 range a lot more for their ability to stand up to some of the abuse. I mean it's no wonder jungle machetes are made out of the steel, it's just nice to see why.
yeah, i agree!
Jason will be happy with quality of this Machete. ☝️😂
next Friday the 13th movie
coming soon
he is dead!
@@joex there is a rumour that in 2023.is coming a new sequel of Friday the 13th.
the only actor who acted as Jason Vorhees 4 times,Ken Hodder had exact childhood as a Jason Vorhees.
thats why his killings in those movies are so brutal,
its like a personal vendetta for all bad things happened to him when he was young.
he took that movie role somehow too serious.
-recently I bought on ebay part 1,3, 5,6,7,8.and part 9.
I hadJason X and Freddy vs Jason
before.
part 3 have most beautiful girls in the film.
- not many know that actually those movies were based on the real life murders of three teenagers at Lake Bodom, Finland
@@joex did know that you have Steyr AUG rifle too.
beautiful bullpup design rifle.
I believe its very precise
@@rickymartinis8530 cool, i am mora an "ALIEN" guy!
Another awesome video. Really surprised it survived that much abuse.
#metoo, thanks!
Great vid! You whipped the crap out of that van!!! Cool ending too
thanks!
Amazing durability for 1095
Yeah, I've seen quite a few snapped Ontario machetes. Hasn't happened to mine yet but I was very surprised it held up the way it did.
true!
1075!
@@kevinAuman1 Ontario machetes are 1095. Other machetes like Tramontina usually are 1070/75.
@@pennsyltuckyreb9800 unfortunately I live 15mins from the factory in franklinville NY and I assure you they've recently switched to 1075 but not all retailers have changed their descriptions yet... I have multiple friends who work there and stamp these blades out!
Survived El bendo, El Bricko Maximus and El polo brutalus...AWESOME! 🐝👊👍
correct!!! superb!
Impressive. Gifted one of these last year my friend replaced the plastic handles with a paracord wrap he really enjoys it.
Two layers of paracord wrap then wrap over that with tennis racket tape...👍👍
@@pennsyltuckyreb9800 Great idea! I will pass the idea on!
cool!
Great channel, Joe. You are by far the most entertaining knife channel. I have an older version of this machete from the late 90's or early 2000's. I have beat the hell out of it for years and it's still fine, but I guess they made the handles better 20 years ago.
hey, thanks a lotk probably about the handle, but beside the handel it is ok! but i prefer 1055 cold steel!
Hey Joe! Love your videos man! I get the quote that knives are meant to do what they suppose to do, but knowing the limits and what the actual manufacturing factor such as the steel or the heat treatment do to its integrity is another lever of confidence and price justification! Keep going my friend. I would love to see how one of the big European boys manage the test. Extrema Ratio ontos or selvans. Pricy I get it but rather interesting😉
thanks a lot!
Joe is not human 😀😀
Great video Joe!
I am suprised how much abuse this machete can take.
I have the Ontario 1-18 militair machete without the sawback.
I think the sawback create some weak points maybe?
Thanks for the video my friend but take care on yourself ok?
I dont want you to have an accident.
You did a great jobe here!
Very good machete..
Take care my friend.
thanks a lot, i don't thinks that the saw is a weak point on this blade!!
It did weirdly well for that much carbon. The shattering on bullets reveals it couldn't cheat chemistry though. Eventually it would have snapped a lot sooner than others from whacking on things. For machetes they should stick to less carbon like the 1055 and 1075 that seem to be favored by the best.
yeah, thanks for the info! cheers!
It never fails to amaze me how people will watch a video and come to the opposite conclusion of what they literally just watched. Obviously they don't need to stick to 1055 and 1075 as 1095 functioned "weirdly" well (I don't think there was anything weird about it). Getting shot by bullets isn't the metric you should use to select blade steel any more than you should select a phone based on how well it takes bullet hits.
Obviously it did well. Obviously nobody is choosing a machete for it's ability to be shot at. 1095 is an uncommon choice for something full machete sized, and the limit this hit compared to others served to indicate that.
What I left implied and maybe shouldn't have was that they made it work by ironically running it softer than the ones in lower carbon. This is precisely one of the kinds of demonstrations Joe's videos are interesting for from a material performance standpoint. It is possible to do something a bit unusual in steel choice and get success. But it tends to come with limitations that are best avoided. There is no pretending this did as well as the 1055 machetes, after all.
If you watch other Joe videos or various other steel tests in general then something you will see is that this degree of durability in 1095 is rare. For a particular good example, contrast with the much shorter (an advantage by geometry) ESEE Junglas that Joe tested. This is caused by the lower than what is more common hardness choice. That is where the word 'weird' seemed applicable to me. They did something unusual and it worked well enough here.
I bought mine 7 years ago & it arrived dull like a butter knife & I tried for hours to sharpen it but just couldn't get an edge on it with a whetstone or steel file so I asked a friend to let me a borrow an electric sharpener. But I will say it's very strong.
yeah, it is strong, this one was ok sharp at arrival!!
I can't believe it almost went back to being straight after the flexibility test. OKC must have gotten the heat treatment perfect.
yes, this one did amazing!!!
Your hand, is vibrating more that the flippcy of Madonna 🤣 I think that's funny 13:59
cool, good to know!!!
Welp...Guess I was wrong in the poll when I said it will snap easily.
Glad it survived long enough for us to see some AUG action!
Might I make a suggestion for the next "big" blade. Its the MACHETE KUKRI M.SCHEIDE* Mil-Tec.
Its a cheap little kukri that I keep seeing in a local store. Looks like something to stay away from, the store owners don't even know what steel it is, but its from Mil-Tec which are a German brand so I kinda have some hopes it will survive most of these tests (at least as long and as well as this Ontario).
thanksf or the comment, cool!
Really surprising durable machete blade.🦁🙂
it did super ok!
Great video, Joe! Once again: an "old" and "outdated" blade steel outperforms super steels in these abuse tests. I know what I'd rather have with me when it really matters.
Exactly haha.
Though the steel is hardened rather soft, that explains it also a bit.
yeah, this one did pretty ok!!!
Despite all the internet warriors and experts and snobs I genuinely feel like JoeX's tests have show that unless you need a specialized blade for edge wear resistance or corrosion resistance, 1095 is probably the best steel on the market.
@@DL-ij7tf
5160 spring steel is tougher than 1095.
@@PerceptionVsReality333 Maybe. The gigantic Ontario SP53 did pretty test in his test, worse than many 1095 knives despite being a massive .25" thick blade
Once again Ontario proved their carbon steel blades are flawlessly manufactured and can stand enormous abuse.
I know I am repeating myself but I'd like to see how their D2 will perform, especially the Cerberus fixed knife.
i repeat myself too, i can not test all the knives in the world!!!
Love ❤ Machete Ontario 😊😊
ok pro
Brutal man " Jumping in the water, testing in gas mask " totaly bundeswehr hardcore 😀 greetings from czech 🙂
thanks a lot!
These are very heavy and not great to use for everyday things, but they are built military stout. Tramontina machetes are one of the best for actual use.
ok!
That is the most ridiculous statement I've heard in a while.
Tell me exactly what can a tramontina do that a better made ontario can't.
I truly believe people hear stuff online then just repeat it. Tramontina are ok but they are very thin.
@@richardhenry1969 they are supposed to be thin. They are much more lightweight and easier to handle for longer periods, and cut through most materials easier with steel that's more forgiving on the user. People that actually use machetes a lot, prefer thinner lighter ones, and usually blades with less height. I use them a lot, and I've used many other styles. Most heavier thicker machetes are designed for cutting bigger hardwood branches, a task that is actually really what you should use an axe for. This Ontario is a Military design made to be very stout and take a lot of abuse, but it's absolutely not what someone that uses machetes a lot would want as it's thickness and weight would make jobs much more difficult than they need to be. Plus military gear often isn't ideal, but contracted to the lowest bidder, and this one being overbuilt because it's being given to people with little or no experience using them. It will tire you out and stress your muscles a lot. This is obvious to anyone who actually uses these tools. Like the Brazilians who use Tramontina. The work of a machete should be done with the machete, not brute strength. It's the quick speed attained with a thin light blade, the wrist flicking technique, and accuracy, that makes a good machete easy to use, not human strength or overbuilt BS. Think again buddy.
@@MB-jg4tr just more BS go sell your delusions to someone without experience. Checkout any machete in the Philippines tell me they are overbuilt. Just because you listen to someone that cuts tall grass and is to weak to carry a real blade. That doesn’t make what you say true it just makes you very Unoriginal.
@@richardhenry1969 take a look at a true Indonesian golok machete, these thin lightweight tools are great handmade examples.
Amazing Flex 💪🏻 Great video Joe, Thanks !!!
u are welcome!
Great video as always Joe, i wanted to talk to youabout a few things... number 1 is, would you be so kind as to consider me for a spot as a MOD for your channel. Id love to talk in voice if we can find a way also..keep up the awesome work on videos..
whats a MOD? i am not into talking, sorry!!
@JOE X a moderator, like a helper admin with the channel to help keep the trolls out and things running per your instructions and guidelines ...and being part of your team, thanks, brother
There are two ways to improve the toughness of 1095 steel:
1. Carry out local heat treatment, such as TOPS Steel Eagle 111A and TOPS Silent Hero.
2. Reduce hardness: such as Ontario 18 chops
The above knives are almost indestructible.
The impact resistance of 60HRC 3V steel is not good
i broke all knives u mentioned already!
@@joex The way I mentioned is just summarized from your previous tests on these knives.
After a hard test like this, that jump in the lake must have felt pretty refreshing ! 😁👍
it was filmed before!!!
@@joex Hmmm.....thought you took the jump afterwards😁....
Those jumps give originality and tonicity to your videos, along with the splits and spicy talk 😁

1095 steel is truly Awesome
ok
you vs a titan block :D ... crazy man u destroy everything
i know, thanks! You making a Glock Knife video or what?
Awesome review Joe. Your poor Ferrari, it got destroyed by the saw back. 😂 The flex was very impressive. I just did a quick check and I don’t think you’ve tried/tested a Tramontina machete, I’d like to see that. I use Tramontinas. I think it would be similar to the Ontario. With a bit of duct tape for the handle, the Ontario would be unstoppable.😉 I like that you made it an EDC version, it’ll fit in my back pocket now.
i will try to make a test!
this one did great!
Thanks mate. I think the handle will fail on the Tramontina too.
Super test that model sales will definitely hit 🎯
hopefully for Ontario! it seems doing good blades for the crowd!
I knew it would survive at least all the initial gamut of knife torture but man Joe I completely forgot about the Glock test!!!! I was like man! Just when you think you're safe!! Joe my man your a beast! ain't no knifes safe out there!!! I like it though there ain't no babying any of these blades. Nice addition of the Aug your armed to the teeth babe! Well not to shabby for the old Ontario , they're no slouches with their heat treatment and let's not kid ourselves ain't nobody going to be deflecting bullets with them. Oh and how about a jack knife off the top of the post in the water next time!! I'm out Joe , awesome test I love you man.
thanks miguel, i love u too!! keep on watching, more crazy shit is coming your way!
Excellent machete, until now I was reluctant to buy it, but it's a must buy!
cool!
adding this to my shopping cart
cool!
That is one very strange looking Ferrari.
I'm glad you didn't die... man this was tense to watch!!
thanks, glad u liked it!
Ottimo risultato direi anche alla lu e del fatto che costa 38 euro!!
Good job joe!

Machetes are all known for having flexibility they have to to constantly chop through the jungle
yes, but some break!
Excited to see this one my father in law has a ckrt kukuri and for 70 bucks I think he overpaid but it batons logs really well he wants a new one for Christmas
u should buy it!
I have this exact machete i frickin hate that square handle!!! The blade is awesome for a mid heavy machete though, Paracord for handle is better feelin
Awesome machete and awesome video as always
thanks!
It has a good temper and the edge is pretty good to
yes agree!
Tramontina 18 inch machete!!

👍
I use self adhering plumbing tape around the plastic handle of my 12" Ontario.
cool, good idea!
In your opinion, what is the best machete in terms of resistance and cutting, being it a fulltang with a saw and a good handle?
check my top 20 machetes vid!
@@joex Have you already tested the Sogfari Machete 18"? What could you say about it? I haven't found practical tests and I would like an opinion from someone who understands, thank you!
nope!
give an tractor... and carterpillar....yes! amigo.

Great blade, shitty handle. Amazing flex for 1095 but the bullet hits show its brittleness. Cold Steel still makes a better machete IMHO.
CS are better, thats for sure!
Even with handle, I could feel the shock that went up your arms.
it was ok, but feelable!
Seems alright
did ok!
Machetes are generally very tough. Have you tried Tramontina yet? Budget but very sturdy and proven... well not Joe X proven.
not yet!
Handle spines hurt really bad, if you hit with the tip really hard, I did that once like to blow my knuckles out my hand, all the rotation force goes right into your hand, I did like 30% power 100% would break my fingers
ok, thanks for the info!
Thanks for attempting injury.
i love it!
I'm surprised it took a bullet to break it since it is 1095. I'm guessing it has a soft heat treat.
yeah, i was surprised too!
it definatly need a better handle
Many of those type of machete's have the pins go/move sooner or later.
Hence you see them often wrapped with tape.
Also adding grippiness.
true!
@@Ve-suvius I wish there was a better way - to have a good handle grip it requires a thinner handle stock - to have a thicker handle stock requires slabs and pins - do you think there is a better system ?
@@cassanoa
The handle of the Condor Bushcraft Parang?
injection molded polypropylene onto the tang.
No cold tang in the hand either.
There are plenty of full width tang machete's with a better handle than the Ontario machete's in the video.
It is rather blocky also.
Look at other Condor machete handles, there are several having a slimmer handle.
I just think that they should use screws instead of pins. You tighten screws, pins.. hit a with a hammer maybe..
Same with folders. Always have the pivot screw, not a pin. When there's play, you can fasten it. Handle slabs same...
@@Ve-suvius I agree - screws instead of pins - what about metal handles instead of wood that can crack or plastic which is to weak
I would love to have that mini van thing looks cool before you wrecked it
it was dead on arrival!
@@joex lol
Another machete that preforms very well. I thought it would break on the brick or pole test.
it did amazing!
machete safety course
exactly!
Hi dude i have an spanish knife, the Cudeman 291 and i dont know how it will do perform in your testing ways haha
i do not know either dude!
Had to get the artillery out to break this one. 👍👍👍👍👍
true, it is called destruction test after all!! haha!
Man, we need to hook you up with Vlad Knives to get a WTG blade! Vlad Knives, switzerland homie!
if they send me one, i will destroy it! to much hype about this blades i think!
@@joex it goes both ways my friend. I see a JoeX vid, i grab a cigar and grab a chair! here is what i have learned from you and JoeX science. Im generalizing but mostly accurate…..The more mass a knife, the easier they die. Especially on spine strikes. But they all die in the end! Glock or AUG, they all fookn die! 👍👍🇺🇸 🇦🇹. I
Everyone should carry one of these in their pocket, just in case they lock their keys in their car.

"Glock knife hardness".
Being 1095, if it would be be higher hardness, it would do "ping" for sure.
ok!
The south american made cold steels are to soft and will fold when you try to chop something hard
disagree!
@@joex maybe, but ive handled many of the lasher tools products (lasher is the south african company producing the cold steel products) and their quality control is very poor, from batch to batch the hardness and steel quality is inconsistant, they have a poor reputation in southern africa for being cheap and not always well hardened but very affordable but better thsn chibese machetes and having strong hsndles, the british martindale is the gold standard with machetes as its forged with a taper and well hardened of quslity steel, but the lasher is 1/2 the price and a chinese made machette is 1/4 another south african maker is okapi, they are similar to the lasher products.. Youll get 10 or 15 which dont roll the edge and then one that does (on hard dry wood) quenching thin blades like this uses a special machine, it is like a rotating wheel or drum that grabs the blades out of the furnace and holding them taught quenches in toil then grabs the next. If this is not done properly the blades.. (2mm or less in thickness) can cool at the edge below the quench temperature and you canhave a blade that has some softer spots, you wont see it in bend testing. It might be 1 cm or so around the profile, . If the price is higher these would be rejected, but if the machette is 1 dollar or so wholesale it is considered a byproduct of the price.. Heating and quenching such large thin blades is complex and the jig that holds them sucks heat from the blade every second they touch it. The edges lose heat first.. Generally it is a problem you will only norice when you use the machete day in and day ou but local users grade the machete brands on quality, the chinese dont produce any forged machetes for example and their heat treatment is inconsistant due to variable carbon in the blade and bad technique for the quench, if i was to grade mass production machetes by quality.. Martindale is the top, then maybe far below that imacasa, then incolma and then truper from mexico then tramontina and the now bankrupt corneta of brazil . Then okapi then lasher.. Then the chinese state factory "gem light" aka diamond brand.. All work, but some are superior to others, comenting as a person who knows machete business.
In the past in africa there was also czechslovakia made machetes and polish and yugoslavian.. Later slovskian made machetes too.. made mostky during the period of communist trade and aid, these were ok.. Solidly made, much better than the south african or south and central american made or chinese products actuially.. .. Slovenia still made some in the 1990s to send to africa,
But if you disagree, it is your right to do so.
@@joex ps you must test more machetes to evakuate their quality more! Do a side by side of 6 or 7 brands including the chinese stuff made for the african market.. Pangas or other types
You definitely execute the machete when you shoot it. 😅
it needed to be done the right way!

A shield mask would do, but so does the gasmask and the gasmask looks cooler so GM it is. hah
He would be testing it for years until it breaks if he just used it like a machete, genius.

Just a little tip...
10:54 “Unbreakable”
There is a peculiarity with the in/un prefix in certain contexts... and this usage it is incorrect - while you’ve correctly used the term “undestructible” in other videos, the correct term here would be “inbreakable.” Sorry to get pedantic, just helping with some English nuance...
