The schkm1 is quickly becoming the kukri machete of choice among serious outdoor enthusiasts, with an overall length of nearly 20 inches, the machete’s blade, shape and balance characteristics, deliver powerful, cutting and chopping blows. The black powder coated 13 3 inch blade comes straight out of the box with paper shaving sharpness constructed from 3cr13 stainless steel.

The blade is well suited for impact, cutting, holds an edge and is easy to resharpen its thick spine and contour allows for deep penetration with every stroke. The machete’s full tang extends through a safety grip handle. The palm swelling ergonomic design is textured for excellent hand, gripping traction under all weather conditions. The handle widens and flares at the butt supporting proper hand.

Would you talk lion trainer and I just want to do a review on the Condor tool and knife Hudson Bay night. It is a large knife, as you can see it’s more of a I. Don’t want to use the word chopper B, but it you could chop with it. If you needed to its high carbon steel, that’s about 3/16 inch, blade, spine or spine I. Believe the overall length of the blade is eight inches. Eight and three-quarter inches I’ll get back with the output, the specs on the end on down below so check that out.

It’s a full tang knife, three brass pins- and this is the first look at it. I haven’t used it yet just got it about three days ago, so I’m out in the woods, I check it on the trapline and I. Just thought I would do a quick review on the Hudson Bay knife by Condor tool at night. Again, first impressions looks like it’s coated coated here, which makes a nice look. I, don’t know how that’s gonna hold up we’ll see. I haven’t used a Ferro rod on it. Yet I haven’t done anything with it.

You this is really the first time. This is the first time he’s been in the woods, but it is a large knife sort of in a bowie knife resemblance. If you will, however, it doesn’t have the back edge for the back cutting of the bowie knife. If you’re familiar with it, I have been doing knife fighting or training in such skills since 1984, you know, I do know what I’m talking about in that realm and I have done the Bowie knife or with Jim Keating and peek oops of that the ComTech.

But anyway that’s not important. The point is, is you could use it with the snap cuts? Snipe cuts whatnot, but that’s not what we’re here for today we’re gonna see what how it does in the woods as a wood processor, and you could skin with this thing, I’m positive I’ve used bigger, larger knives, the skin deer and whatnot, squirrel and stuff. If you had to you, could whatever you have that’s what you’re going to use you know we get into this mode. I’ve seen it many times on YouTube, where you got three four five: six knives on you in the night or in the woods and I just questioned.

If that’s really realistic, when you go to the woods, you carry three four knives. I know some people do I, usually at least have two with me and plus an additional cutting tool. That’s fine redundancy I subscribe to the Dave Canterbury, ten C’s and redundancies, etc, etc. But you know there comes a time and point when you have to hump that stuff through the woods, then you know you got three four knives on you plus a couple other cutting tools. I, don’t know if it’s realistic, but anyway that’s you know.

If that’s what you do you do it, but anyway, stay with me. We’re gonna get some wood around here start doing some chopping with it. Some cutting some feather sticks, Samba timing, I know this thing will baton very well. The Hudson Bay knife by Condor tool at night stay with me guys. We right back to you: hey guys, they’re back with the top of line training and before we start cutting wood and whatnot I just want to go and show you the sheath that comes with the knife.

It’s a nice-size sheath, of course, at the knife, is large 2+2, the guys right anyway, it’s got the condo, condor and logo on it, and it’s sort of like set up in a dangler dangler position. I carry anything big like this cross draw, because if you had to draw you could draw to cut in a defensive situation. But that being said, and then your tomahawk would be over here. This is pretty tight on here. It’s not broken yet, so one handed draw would be tough, but you know in the mountain men or the buoy days.

If you did double here or you had your tomahawk, you could draw, and then here you are set and the large buoy type knife, but this so happens to be a Hudson Bay dice issued to the long hunters bought by the long hunters and stuff out of the Hudson Bay Company anyway. With that being said, I’m gonna go ahead, and let me take this off the sheet here and show you or let me take us off the belt, take off the belt and show you the Sheep a little bit better again sort of set up in a dangler fashion.

Here it’s. This is about a two and a quarter inch belt thickness about two inches, so it fits in there pretty well like that and there it is, and there’s the logo Condor logo XI, and it’s it’s in there, pretty tight I, don’t think it’s coming out and which is what you want. I would probably or I will get a piece of tubular from an inner tube piece of rubber from an inner tube and make a little girth hitch on here, and so just so, I could put it over the top.

Just in case I did I do that with the Jeff white trade knife as well, just in case it falls. This is made for this that the Jeff white, that I have the sheet that I have is by Condor, and it’s not made for it. So I just do that, although it fits in there. Well just do it just as a backup. You don’t have to walk around with that on, but if you were going through some rugged territory or something like that, it wouldn’t hurt to have a little bit of retention with the inner tube or whatever you want to use to tie it down alright.

So let me set the camera up. Just got to change angles, real, quick and we’ll do some cutting with the Hudson Bay knife. I went ahead and use my trusty old bahco laplander saw and cut some a few pieces of wood just to start off with a little bit of just tiny I have no doubt like this will cut this. Everything out here is damp so anyway, this is little punk I have not sharpen this knife. This is straight from the factory. How you get it like. So no doubt about it.

Like I said this is about an eight and a quarter. Inch blade, I believe it is, might be 3/8 I’m, not sure I can remember, but look at the description. I’ll put it in there, but just go you have an eight-inch blade, blade doesn’t mean you go, get a seven inch piece of wood. You can see it’s processing this that’s about a three or four inch piece of wood, no problem and also just cuz. You know you get a big knife like this doesn’t mean it’s necessarily made for chocolate.

You could definitely chop some things with it, but, but you know you’ll want to be careful of that again. Just brush out of the box, no I haven’t sharpened it at all or anything just straight out of the factory test. If you will I have a forest Kephart knife by Condor and I like it a lot so I saw this I thought I would check it out and so far so good you just cut down here and it could wedge this or what happens thing so big, so big that that you don’t really need that to do that.

Let’s just look at the cutting: it’s pretty tough here again: I! Have it sharpened it? So, let’s just chop a little bit, you could chop if you need it to was a little funky but and I just I think once I get to to the wicked edge machine. This thing’s gonna work. Well, oh yeah, very nice! Let me give you a close-up of that. Okay, just chop right here with this works. Well another piece- this is pine. I, know super soft, but you know what you’re really not gonna go cutting uh.

You know a bunch of red oak and what now I guess if you had to you could, but so there you go alright guys stay with me. Dad top online training. I got a couple more things to show you with the knife and get right back to it. Stay tuned, hi, guys, ed back with you. Top-Of-Line training got a scrub here, element what this is, but anyway, let’s do some chopping on it see if we can get it taken out, pretty good camera and I’m barely you know, I’m, just letting the weight of the knife do the cutting really I’m, not trying real hard here, as you can see like I, said I.

Think when I get this thing, sharpened up I mean like to my standard and just do a free chop. I, don’t think I got the leverage right on it, but it’s ok! No big deal! Ok, yeah! This is a little scrub sapling. If you will- and you know- saw what it did so- I think as far as chopping, those sort of like a mini machete. If you will, let’s try it right here, some leverage to chops, not that just because you have a large knife, doesn’t mean you know you start chopping with it, but same time frame and then just that camera a little bit at the same time frame I mean some buyers here hold up all right anyway, just cuz, you have a knife, this large doesn’t mean you have to chop with it, but it is there.

You have the it’s sort of a plus having a knife like this, for the chopping ability take a bahco laplander this on a pocketknife. You can do quite a bit. You can do quite a bit one more test here with the Ferro rod. Let’s see how those sparks dry it off a bit, see there we go ooh, don’t want to burn my camera, yes, I’m, pushing it I’m, pushing it fellas. Yes, you can pull it or you can push it I want to say either way as long as you get a sparks, where you need them either way is good their idea behind pulling it.

So you don’t Jack your bird’s nest up or your bundle of tinder the advantage of pushing it. You can deflect it a little bit more where you want it to go, but it passes the Ferro rod test, no doubt about it, our carbon steel. Oh so we did a little bit of chopping a little bit of a ton. A little bit of whittling, like I, said once I get my wicked edge on this thing. It’s gonna be razor-sharp. This is factory edge, it’s sharp enough! I mean you can cut with it, but you know it could be a lot sharper, I believe the sheath nice leather, sheath, dangler style.

If you will and real nice price point on this is $70 I. Think it’s money well spent it’s a nice knife. If you’re looking for a large bowie type knife, that’s the Hudson Bay knife by condor tool at knife. High carbon steel, hard wood handle, looks like about a Hickory handle, maybe I’m pretty sure, nice leather sheet. That comes with it. So guys. If you liked the video please sit, please give me a thumbs up down there and I really appreciate that as well.

Good subscribe, I’d appreciate that too I’m trying to build my channel up and I’d love to have you aboard come back with more videos as soon as I can I really appreciate your views and anything else goes along with the YouTube channel until the next one. This is a top-of-the-line training. Take care we’ll see y’all the next.

Hey guys welcome back to another video today we’re going to be reviewing a so I’ve had this machete for two years and has worked pretty well so far. One thing that has happened the first time I wore this, the belt loop broke, the rest of the sheath has held up fine and it works pretty well. Moving on to the machete you can see. The machete has a saw on top nice sharp blade on the bottom super grippy handle and comes with a lanyard. It fits nicely in your hands.

It has some good weight for chopping. I have used this a few times, as you can see from the dirtiness on the blade it’s worked pretty well. I wish it was a little heavier, it’s kind of light when you’re trying to cut through some things, but this worked pretty well from what I’ve been doing with it. As you can see, this use does a really good job of covering the whole machete. You can see, there’s a velcro strap to keep it in place. I do wish they’d pick something other than velcro, but it seems to be working fine.

That is it for today’s video. I hope you guys found it helpful and enjoyed please remember to leave a comment like and subscribe for more videos. Thank you here are some more angles of the machete.
