Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@fistofthenorthstar9010 says : tomahawks next please>> <<@HipnoDark says : This is all hilarious! Glad to see tramontina doing well. That's what a machete is for. They have it in all "numbers" and that was the bigger one. I have 5 different tramontina machetes, some with wood handles and different blade shapes and thickness. I have worked by Amazon border for years with around 600 hand workers as one the coordinators (I'm biologist) and they all choose that machetes, number 22 and some 20. Some guys sharpen theirs with sand and dirt in their hands, like holding thin sand and crossing the blade in their palms and the machete was sharp as a razor. Amazing ppl, a mix of indigenous natives, slavery survivor descendants and colonizers grown strong as the forest. I have some other machetes, expensive, rares over here, but to hard work, tramontina do it easy. And I don't work for them LOL! Oh and you guys would not survive a night over there, I can bet! We have all families of vipers of the world besides spiders and other arthropods that can ruin your next months... And jaguars, anacondas, pumas, crocodiles, weird fishes and vampire bats. I would not survive the animals or the heat, for sure.>> <<@florinsi says : Sparks come from the iron burning in oxygen, not from the stone>> <<@Ashbringer85 says : Only critique i can give is that its pretty easy to sharpen a blade. I think people talk to much about sharpness but its not that important because all blades dull and need to be sharpened over time anyway.>> <<@oscardelta1257 says : And see this is why I own a tramontina machete. I'm in the US and bought locally at a Lowe's for $20 and came with a well made nylon sheath and has a wooden handle. For the money paid its hard to beat. I use it for trimming my banana trees. I have firearms for home defense>> <<@Fafushnick says : The cat was like "this crazy dude is cutting bricks with machetes!" and got the heck outta dodge>> <<@othername1000 says : please don't go blind>> <<@johnshite4656 says : Oh, this is the "yop" girl, I remember her.>> <<@guillaumeberger3598 says : ONTARIO KNIVES are the the best quality/price ratio . I own a machete and a bolo (and others but i use those the much) for more more than 20 year and i never go sweet with this kind of tools ( if it breacks it's no for me )after all the hammering and else never have to complain and the hammer barrely leave marks on the back .>> <<@osbaldohernandez9174 says : Tramontina the way to go cheap affordable keep up for a long time Brazil has a lot of jungle so they made a good blade>> <<@noghbdyfresh4331 says : the thing about 'survival' blades is that it's what one is stranded in the wilderness with…>> <<@antesdedormirmanu9664 says : Man you should try the "Aguila corneta" everyone here in Latin America knows that is the best brand of machetes in the world>> <<@faithfulwarrior7 says : Jorge you should always wear a glove and use a retention lanyard where there is no guard to prevent hand slippage. Ty for all the hard work in bringing these needed informational videos. please work safe. Eye safety eye-wear for Vanessa is also indicated, by the testing degree & level.>> <<@darvindo18 says : I think with the second machete the bit at the bottom of the handle is to stop it slipping out of your hand.>> <<@kenrobison9528 says : Look at Condor 8MM chopping blade Kukri. Very nice blade for home defense. You will love it. Made in EL SALVADOR>> <<@jaulinooo says : Tramontina um excelente facão para mato.>> <<@mealex303 says : Not all bricks are equal>> <<@mealex303 says : You literally couldn't find a slimmer weaker human to test theese things with 👎>> <<@FireStar-gz2ry says : I'm sorry my friend, but 14:39 min in I started laughing. When using a machete, please find some use and safety videos for better performance and enjoyable time ❤️>> <<@JoaoVitorBorbaNunes says : 18:27 im from brazil , its exactly this>> <<@Crusher_sk says : At 19:56 is that a crack inside handle ?>> <<@asa-punkatsouthvinland7145 says : I to am a fan of Tramontina machetes! I feel a 14" wood handled one in my car for emergencies. I prefer wood handles on machete for the feel & look, but I'll admit a good plastic handle is more rot & damage resistant I'm many ways....but plastic looks cheap & feels bad 😂 Regardless while the Cold Steel machetes are good, they are thicker & kind of over built plus they are also significantly more expensive than Tramontina. Tramontina are great for the price & made by folks who know machetes! Condor is good too but they are getting to be very expensive, especially since they have begun to dabble in swords. (Cold Steel machetes are made by Lasher tools in South Africa)>> <<@MagiMystik says : I would have liked to see you try to use the saw on the Gold Medal winner.>> <<@indigoneo999 says : A very good video.👍🏼>> <<@freman007 says : I picked up a Corneto 26" machete for $20NZ. It might not be the most robust weapon ever, but it's a sharp piece of steel that I can reach out and touch someone with. And steel is still harder than flesh.>> <<@maurobasualdo says : TRAMONTINA GOLD!!!>> <<@jasonpavlich8579 says : Very nice, but I keep my swords. 😉🙂⚔️>> <<@Bobby_Digital_23 says : Warum habt ihr die Bohle nicht hochkant hingestellt, bei einer (fast) Punktbelastung hätte man doch viel besser den unterschiedlichen Schaden beurteilen können. So war es doch kein objektiver Test, da Jörg immer unterschiedlich im Winkel getroffen hat. Das war maximal ein Test zur Handlage. Jörg denkt doch eigentlich sehr technisch...warum wure das so durchgeführt?>> <<@stcredzero says : Machetes? Yes. People instinctively do the overhand swing when they are panicked. It gives a reach advantage over a knife, and cuts above the eyes can partially debilitate an attacker by blinding them.>> <<@Datalous says : You really need to swap number 1 and number 3. Blade damage shouldn't be a deciding factor lol. Blades aren't meant to hack stone lol.>> <<@Meatbag033 says : Damn that is one seasoned piece of oak.>> <<@balleybarrera144 says : Machete one of deadliest gardening tool known to man all gardening tools can be weaponised but some some are more deadly than others.>> <<@robertlee8400 says : I own a machete from WWII & I didn’t know it was from WWII until a friend of mine,s dad sharpened it he told me to keep it in great condition & never get rid of it .>> <<@strydyrhellzrydyr1345 says : U should have took the Gold winner... Against the red brick... Just to see.. cause I think their will be a possible difference>> <<@strydyrhellzrydyr1345 says : Wait did u say that those machetes are far cheaper in Europe.. or are not far cheaper>> <<@strydyrhellzrydyr1345 says : I wanna see u use the knifes u used on the first couple bricks.. on the later red bricks.... Just 5o see if the red bricks are harder than the older bricks>> <<@strydyrhellzrydyr1345 says : She's a wee bit shy... Or not used to YOUR SETTING>> <<@strydyrhellzrydyr1345 says : Camillus is known to be a decent brand.. in America...or at least my uncle swore by the brand... It maybe they made the blade to hard... Which would be brittle>> <<@samwilliams5283 says : I think Cold Steel uses 1055 steel.>> <<@samwilliams5283 says : The D handle also provides some hand protection. The Tramontina is a grass machete.>> <<@kokopuff17 says : Hey Joerg, could you give the name of the eyeglasses you are wearing? I need a new pair with bigger lenses, and the one's you are wearing look like exactly what i'm looking for. Thank you>> <<@mikehipperson says : What possible use would a machete, intended to cut wood and occasionally barbed wire, be doing cutting bricks? Trying to tunnel your way out of a building?>> <<@TimeSurfer206 says : "Is iT sUiTaBlE fOr DeFeNsE? Joerg, Vanessa? If it doesn't shatter the first time I hit a brick with it, yes. And even the cheapest of the cheap are still a better quality steel than most of the Crap I carried as a Legionnaire. Question: What do you call a Blunt Sword? A: A Metal Club.>> <<@21333 says : Tramontina is real tool used all around South America. The price is misleading. I would say that this is the real Machete from the test.>> <<@themadscientest says : Tramontina blades are 1070 carbon steel, on the lower end of the carbon level for blades but it is ideal for a tool like a machete. Have a 12 inch blade one that has been seeing more fruit cutting duty than anything else, it's just the right size for breaking down watermelons and just choppy enough for scalping pineapples in one clean hack. Also it has a wood handle, the best handle since it is easy to index, has plenty of grip being almost raw wood, and has 3 beautiful metal rivets holding it together. Factory edge was beautiful and I have only touched it up since it rolled slightly after teaching a pineapple a lesson or two, nothing you can't fix with a good pocket stone! Also fair warning, Camillus meant something years back, the brand was US made in NY in a town of the very same name. Now the brand gets slapped on whatever since it was bought out in a bankruptcy auction.>> <<@nutte1kg says : Vanessa is like: " Ja!...Aha! ..... Hmm?!... Aaah!.." hahahhaha she seems not so talky xD>> <<@knifeatthepickle says : Merriam Webster should revise their definition of 'Manly' to be just a picture of you.>> <<@Angelsilhouette says : The one you say looks like a hatchet looks like a cane knife to me, a tool used in tropical sugar cane, banana, and maybe rubber plantations. Get a proper cane knife and give it a test, too. ;)>> <<@calisthenicdude2901 says : yes the tramontina the ultimate tool for whacking thieves hands and heads Its good also for bushwacking chopping trees i disagree with joerg my tramontina fell trees fat as drum with mine if you have the patience as far as self defence it shears through meat>> <<@john-paulsilke893 says : 1st place there is no discussion it’s obvious. 2nd and 3rd I’d flip those choices but as they said not by much. However I think I’ll simply stand on their opinions because they were there and hands on.>>
