Schrade Schmbs Test & review .3cr13mov steel. New 2017 Schrade Schmbs machete. tactical show . the best schrade ive tested. also Sub to Tac Unfiltered! / channel
You are freaking AWSOME : " I can feel the POWER " !!! at 9minutes 30 seconds of the video !!! You have the best Personality to doing videos !!! Keep up !!! Cheers from Niagara Falls, CANADA !!!!
Dude when i come home from school and each your vid it make my day so much better.than being bullying my an group of 8 grader I just want to say thank u so much for making my day the best
That thing looks absolutely sick. Not a fan of 3cr13 either, but machete makers are starting to push it. With the thickness of this Schrade machete, it should be solid. You certainly put it through it's paces. You got some good sword skills Tac. You must have studied some Eskirima. I dig it, and this blade is right up my alley too. Thanx for the review.
Thumbs up to you Tac, and to that awesome machete. I've been looking at some potential replacements to my worn-out Cold Steel Barong and this thing just made the list (an upgraded steel would move it up a few places though).
Glad you like it Tac. I laughed a little every time you said you hoped it wouldn't break. I took one of my prototypes camping and reduced a huge branch of ironwood into firewood with nary a crack.
Like you said, upgrade the steel. But like you also said, it survived. Amazing tool from Schrade and for less than 40 bucks. Love it. Best Schrade ever. PS. I like that you test far beyond normal use, you treat em mean. So if anyone does damage their own, they did something wrong (or got a defective product). Good job.
Another cool review Tac ! I'm gonna buzz over to see if PM101 did a review on this machete to see what he has to say. Two of my favorite reviewers but,,,,, you guys are responsible for me buying more stuff after, I thought I have everything I want LOL. THX AGAIN !
This is one of two machetes I've wanted for a while, it arrives in a few days. I ordered the cold steel chinese war sword machete also which arrives in a couple weeks. I know this is an old video but i always like Tac's take on blades
I like how you always seem concerned for "us" or the camera more accurately, then in the next frame your swinging a freakin sword at us. love the channel and vids.
Hey tac, found ur channel last year and love it. I'm from the suburbs outside of buffalo and I find it ridiculous what new york state is doing as far as classifying certain blade lengths as deadly weapons. I carry the camp 10 on my pack when I hike into the woods and I worry that I'll get harassed by the cops for doing so. If u think about it ur house key could b used as a deadly weapon if used right. I view my blades as tools no different from a hammer or screwdriver that has a purpose and I handle them as seriously as I would a firearm. This state needs to butt out, it's so ridiculous. Anyway keep up the great work. I love tac unfiltered too btw.
Becoming more impressed with this... I hope Schrade offers this as an entry level and a carbon steel "elite" level, like you said and I absolutely agree.
great video big brother Tac, haven't been on here for a while but I have had the pleasure of recently working with that budget weapon and it performs reasonable but I have to tell you brother Tac, I always hand sharpen my blades that being said, I was helping a good friend with a project and had a perfect opportunity to test this swachette,and it performed great until, I hit a couple of knots needless to say we were working for approximately 7 hours when I went to inspect the blade the top section of the edge had a couple of chips and completely dull but keeping in mind that it is a budget weapon and i must say not great ,but not bad their are alot worse out their keep up the great work big brother Tac,and God bless
I freaking love this blade, thanks for the review! I wonder if you've managed to break one yet...It doesn't seem like it should be a bushcrafter at all, but damn does it chop!! And it's light enough you can still carve with it. Not to mention it is sooo much fun!
I guess that will save me some postage...I was going to send mine to you when I'm done with it. Still want to send you my CS Thai machete just for kicks...
I concur, Tac with that Thai Machete needs to happen, especially cause it'd be sharp as fuck. You both rock, you're my 2 fave knife reviewers. One shows me exactly what to expect out of the box, and the other shows me what the ultimate potential of a blade looks like. Hope you both keep doing what you do.
I posted this over at PreparedMind101 as well because both of your reviews encouraged me to buy one.... (initiate copy and past) So I got one of these.... and then had to order another one for my left hand. Now, the steel for both seems to be good stuff. I've been chopping on an 8" log with both a lot. I don't intend to throw, pry, baton with these but stick to machete work (except the log practice). The edge retention is decent for the steel. Downside, the first one was decent sharp but the overall "cosmetic" grind job was terrible. the belly curve goes to far so there is an indent before the tip. And the the spine swedge on the right side is a full 1 inch longer than on the left. The second one the grind looks great for a $40 blade. But it came dull as a butter knife. Seriously, met sharper mashed potatoes. And the one that was poorly ground is a half inch longer and at least a 1/16th of an inch wider in profile. But, as far as I can tell, as long as I keep doing machete things with these blades I will be able to get my Ninja Mountain Man groove on for a long time. The only reason I wont recommend these is that the one person who gets a bad blade, or breaks it chopping a rock, will turn into a psycho stalker and make my life miserable. Happy Blade'n I will add here that if all you want is to clear some light brush now and then you could pick up a $10 cheapie machete and be just fine. But if you want that brush to cower before the suede that mows like a harvest...
Hi Tactical. That was fun to watch. Nice to see people get excited about cool blades. I have a lot of knives, besides Schrade, in 8Cr13MoV, a few 9Cr18MoV, AUS-8, and 1095 and so on without a single favorite. I'd like to see this machete in the same grey colored 1095 steel they use on the SCHF9. I understand they don't want the blade to crack, break or shatter, but I think with a slight tweaking, it would make for a great alternative to a sword for self defense. Maybe you can convince them (Taylor Brands - Schrade) to offer us loyal fans a bargain priced tool for defense.
I got a scmach1 last week it's 3cr too but awesome..the first one I got was junk and rolled first time out so I took it back and got another that seems to be on point..16.00 of kickass and the handle is sweet,i think schrade needs to get them to you reviewer's..they are truly badass and need some spotlight
Love your vids! Cool review. Definitely a modern version of a Iberian Falcata. A little bit more tacticool than the india co., Windlass steel crafts, Cobra Steel line : Tactical Falcata.
It's sad to say, but I feel as if I HAVE to come to TH-cam to find people with an appreciation for knives, swords, machetes and everything that's cool for survival or to be outdoors. Seems like once I hit the stores they have nothing left but crap. Anyway, very nice, spirited review and I agree it's a very nice machete with long elegant lines and one that would serve as an alternative to a short sword and certainly more graceful to slice brush than the typical machete.
I really would hear your thoughts about comparing this one against the KABAR Cutlass. Want to buy one or the other but don´t have the opportunity to test them both.
i like how you spin that blade around you seem pretty familiar with blades like you got skills . im not a fan of that steel either but that is a cool lookin blade for sure
I love your vids! Especially the LOTR music in the intros! I’m a noob here and I’m wondering why you say it’s not a bushcraft tool. I’m also wondering if this is your favorite large blade in this price range. You seem to really enjoy it. I’m considering purchasing this or a Ontario military machete.
I have many machetes so far nothing beat my blackjack panga with Sandvik steel . it's light and strong and takes a beating and it's stainless. This looks like the one. light, long, sure grip, stainless steel, great sheath.
How did i miss this review ? Just bought this blade today. Went to amazon looking for the schrade froe, no go. Bought this Hobbit Orcrist clone instead...
Was not a fan of the shoulder strap. Whenever I tried to use it, would never sit properly, no matter where I put the clips on the sheath. Plan on making my own or just weaving my belt through the sheath's long clip-holes. What sharpening method would one use for a machete like this? Thank you for doing a review video!
i had a quick browse online, it seems people are happy with 3cr13 for hard-use knives, axes and pry bars. it doesn't hold an edge as well as other steels but rolls rather than chips in abusive testing. so it's better for blades that will be used rather than hung on a wall and brought out for party tricks.
Schrade has included this weapon in their named series........it's called.....the "Priscilla." I first saw it the other day on Survival On Purpose..........where Bryan Stevens also fell in love with it. I'm going to explore a serious relationship with this bad girl!!! >;) Big thumbs up!!!
Tactical the psycho Bush-wookie! Lol. Been a while home skillet. Watched Israel's video on this too. Looks worth while! I might have to pick one of these up after we Settle into the East coast m'man. Take care! As always, awesome content!
I like the way you test blades as they come from the manufacturer , I expect any knife I buy to be sharp and ready to use. Another fine review !
Kirk Veesaert thanks Kirk!
Adzactly Kirk
This is the most American youtuber i know.
🇺🇸
Hickok45 is actually the most American youtuber
You are freaking AWSOME : " I can feel the POWER " !!! at 9minutes 30 seconds of the video !!! You have the best Personality to doing videos !!! Keep up !!! Cheers from Niagara Falls, CANADA !!!!
Dude your my favorite TH-cam ever
you rock!
Until JoeX showed up
Dude when i come home from school and each your vid it make my day so much better.than being bullying my an group of 8 grader
I just want to say thank u so much for making my day the best

you and gideonstactical are like the only reviewers who actually test your stuff. keep it up tac.
My favorite design so far from them. I can't wait till I can get my hands on one! Great video Tac
Thumbs up to you Tac, and to that awesome machete. I've been looking at some potential replacements to my worn-out Cold Steel Barong and this thing just made the list (an upgraded steel would move it up a few places though).
Glad you like it Tac. I laughed a little every time you said you hoped it wouldn't break. I took one of my prototypes camping and reduced a huge branch of ironwood into firewood with nary a crack.
Tac you're the coolest blade tester keep doin what your doin man I love watchin your vids
you are awesome
You need more subs. You're hilarious!! My favorite review channel.
Should've done that part at 7:15 in slow-mo haha. It sliced that side of the wood off like it wasn't even there! Awesome video as always, Tac!
Schrade is really stepping up with some bad ass designs lately!
Like you said, upgrade the steel. But like you also said, it survived. Amazing tool from Schrade and for less than 40 bucks. Love it. Best Schrade ever. PS.

Damn tac!!! I havent seen you this excited about a blade in at least a couple of weeks!! Im gonna get one!!
Thanks for the great review! I'm excited to test mine out up at the cabin. Many limbs will be severed from evil trees!
Becoming more impressed with this... I hope Schrade offers this as an entry level and a carbon steel "elite" level, like you said and I absolutely agree.

"FRICKIN AIRPLANE!" I was on the fence on buying this, until this video. Thanks, Tac. I'm partial to good blade design.
One of my favorite videos you see the love of this badass machete/sword. 🤘🤘👍👊
tac that's one of the coolest knifes I've seen!
I freaking love this blade, thanks for the review! I wonder if you've managed to break one yet...It doesn't seem like it should be a bushcrafter at all, but damn does it chop!! And it's light enough you can still carve with it. Not to mention it is sooo much fun!

I'd love to see Tac do some work with that blade! Loadsa fun.
I just ordered one of those. Are they as good as they seem to be?
lol my man
i love both of your videos- please send it to him! i wanna see the crazy stuff Tac would do with it!
I concur, Tac with that Thai Machete needs to happen, especially cause it'd be sharp as fuck. You both rock, you're my 2 fave knife reviewers.

I just bought one today cant wait to use one
lol it about time you made a video of a great machete lol great video TAC cant wait to see more video of diffenrent product
I posted this over at PreparedMind101 as well because both of your reviews encouraged me to buy one.... (initiate copy and past)

This is all I need for Zombie Apocalipse.

This is the second review I watched on this blade. I WANT ONE!!
Do you know when they'll release it?
Bob Wampler no sorry
😂"friggin' airplane"! This channel stays Awesome ❤👍🏻👍🏻
the most electrifying reviewer on the tube.
Love your vids! Cool review. Definitely a modern version of a Iberian Falcata. A little bit more tacticool than the india co., Windlass steel crafts, Cobra Steel line : Tactical Falcata.
tactical as usual you were awesome
Nice machete and very nice review. Your video is awsome..🙏
Sick blade my man!! Nice video as always "pricker face"
Great review!
It's sad to say, but I feel as if I HAVE to come to TH-cam to find people with an appreciation for knives, swords, machetes and everything that's cool for survival or to be outdoors. Seems like once I hit the stores they have nothing left but crap.
Anyway, very nice, spirited review and I agree it's a very nice machete with long elegant lines and one that would serve as an alternative to a short sword and certainly more graceful to slice brush than the typical machete.
Thanks for the info on this machete.
I really would hear your thoughts about comparing this one against the KABAR Cutlass.
Want to buy one or the other but don´t have the opportunity to test them both.
Dang it! Just when I thought I was all good on blades! Looks like I might want this thing
I'm glad Schrade went with a plastic sheath over nylon.
i like how you spin that blade around you seem pretty familiar with blades like you got skills . im not a fan of that steel either but that is a cool lookin blade for sure
Got one coming because of your vid TAC.
Another great review!
Excellent review
Hey there, I was wondering how sharp you can get the edge without reprofiling it?
I love your vids! Especially the LOTR music in the intros!
I’m a noob here and I’m wondering why you say it’s not a bushcraft tool.
I’m also wondering if this is your favorite large blade in this price range. You seem to really enjoy it. I’m considering purchasing this or a Ontario military machete.
Id really be interested in seeing a sharpness test after you beat the hell out of it to see how it holds an edge. Great video!
Sweet vid Tac.
Showing off the old ink haha love it brother
Great review
Tac is back!
Great Machete and testing brother! Not sure about the name. Another tree down it passed the testing good stuff!
Hi, do you know the machetes: Schrade Priscilla, KERSHAW CAMP 18 "and CRKT Chanceinhell 18". What the best in the 3 choise?
Yeah! Having some fun with a cool ass machete! It's been some time since I've done that. Gotta do it soon

I have many machetes so far nothing beat my blackjack panga with Sandvik steel . it's light and strong and takes a beating and it's stainless. This looks like the one. light, long, sure grip, stainless steel, great sheath.
Have you checked out the Gerber Gator Galco trying to figure out which one to buy let me know what you think brother. Thanks

How did i miss this review ?
Just bought this blade today. Went to amazon looking for the schrade froe, no go. Bought this Hobbit Orcrist clone instead...
... Mine arrived Today.
I Agree. This is a Cool badass Schrade design. No rattle on the sheath. Perfection so far...
Was not a fan of the shoulder strap. Whenever I tried to use it, would never sit properly, no matter where I put the clips on the sheath. Plan on making my own or just weaving my belt through the sheath's long clip-holes. What sharpening method would one use for a machete like this? Thank you for doing a review video!

Thrash that motherbeeper Tac! Definitely getting this badass blade, He hee shamawn!!
Schrade has included this weapon in their named series........it's called.....the "Priscilla." I first saw it the other day on Survival On Purpose..........where Bryan Stevens also fell in love with it. I'm going to explore a serious relationship with this bad girl!!! >;) Big thumbs up!!!
Charles Larson never heard of him
Nice!I want one.
Looks like Schrade's been stepping up their game lately.
I'm adding this one for sure!
Tactical the psycho Bush-wookie! Lol. Been a while home skillet. Watched Israel's video on this too. Looks worth while! I might have to pick one of these up after we Settle into the East coast m'man. Take care! As always, awesome content!
BTW it's me, Neocorpse, LOL. I forgot I changed my handle.
looks sick as hell
Hey tac my man how did this thing hold up over time
LOOKS FUN...ON THE LIST,THANK'S
very nice looking blade! looks LOTR inspired design in the blade shape. might have to get one myself.
Tac which is the best budget Zombie killer ? This one or Kershaw camp 14 , or 18 or any suggestions?
BTW have you tested the Cold steel tactical wakizashi machete yet ? I have the katana, would like to see how a shorter version works.
love the vid
I've seen some previews of that one. Very nice. I want one for the yard.
My Man u dead handy wit dat ting
