we all contribute to society somehow some of us you know make five minutes of
another commuters day miserable because we speed up when you try to pass us then
slow back down when you can't pass us remember it's only helpful to drive a
good pace when someone tries to get in front of you my contribution is to fill
youtube servers with gigabytes three to four gigabytes at a time of knife and
flashlight review garbage with jokes a handful of people get and then a quarter
of that think that our funny zombie tools on the other hand makes blades
that will help you survive when you're walking dead fantasy becomes a sweet
sweet reality like I said we all have our roles anyway so you've seen my buddy
a video presumably so now I have an upgrade to that cheapy the zombie tools
Vaakra Vakra Vaykra and as you ponder your greatest contribution to
earth let's look at the dimensions like the overall length and weight and I made
sure to say earth because the universe don't give up look about you I'm sorry I
didn't really mean in this review to be an airing of my grievances played length
chopping edge looks legal to me or it's legal somewhere handle size grip
area
spine thickness handle thickness and some tallness is in case some jerk asks
for it hey maybe that's their contribution to society okay so I like
cookies because I find them handy for chopping tree garbage and also making
YouTube videos I mean cuz they're cool.
that's my tactical voice they have thick unbendable blade stalks unless of course
you're a mutant and cut through wood much easier than a thin machete more
suited for small branches and weed so the vacker has a blade made from 5160
steel which is harder than your standard carbon steel blade still carbon steel
but it has more chromium to add resistance to corrosion just a little
bit though it's still best to clean and dry your blade after contact with zombie
blood as well as standard non apocalyptic moisture check out zombie
tools website on blade care and not this video I'm not an expert on anything but
dick jokes and for some people that claim is even a bit hard to swallow
blade looks to my eyes to be a convex grind and zombie tools says that they
sharpen each edge to 19 degrees however if you don't like 19 degrees you can
sharpen it to whatever the hell ad you want the handle the vacker is fully tank
or handle deep and tang is no one says and on the outside of that Tang take a
drink every time I say tang our acid treated aluminum scales wrapped with
leather it makes for a fairly comfortable handle even though it
doesn't sound like it for extended periods of burning and chopping your
shit in the backyard while drinking if you're wondering where all these
branches come from well the nor'easter that came through a month or two ago now
blew them all down in one night so while I should have gotten rid of all of it
now I still have piles of shit to burn true story boring story of a true story
tang let's see sheath zombie tools have real leather sheath upgrades on their
website for about seventy bucks that look in the parlance of our times
amazeballs now mind you I'm about a decade behind in my colloquialisms
but the standard not upgrade remember two T's for a double dose of pimping is
just a Kydex that dangles from the belt but can be strapped to your leg which is
awesome because it doesn't hit the ground when you are hypothetically
wearing it around the house for extended periods of time on your day off doing
dishes and folding laundry I knew it check hey that's my tactical voice to in
order to draw it use your thumb to pop it you know like most Kydex sheath
dumb and you all know or maybe you don't that I'm a leather sheath kind of
bro but this one's actually not too shabby
alright deployment just kidding comparison time first up the zombie
tools background now since I do have an official functional piece of garbage bud
k that's the official name by the way I can safely say the Vakra is longer
and less tall from the side in places also overall fit and finish are better
which they should be because the Becker is about 280 dollars the bud K has a
wood handle and a bump in the middle that I've been told gives grip hey man
that's there for grip okay but it still feels like a bump what if hand axes and
knives had bumps in the middle for grip the zombie tools has a chop front so you
have multiple grip options and a more comfortable handle hold it however you
want I've had the bud K for years and it's held up it's also discovered many
hidden nails in wood over the years - evidenced by all the edge dings let's
see SC jungle is too smaller than the jungle
this one and the vac row I have chopped many things with this see my review of
that one this one has a comfortable handle
I wish the sheath was leg mountable you know like a dog and it cost about a
hundred eighty bucks okay how about the fourteen dollars or whatever the hell I
paid for the Ontario machete which I still plan on reviewing after sharpening
it's dull ass apparently if you only spend fifteen to thirty dollars for a
chopper it comes to all this shit no one's really asked me to get on this
review so it may wait a few more months all right speaking of dull ass let's
finish and get to chopping
if there's anything I like its whacking my would than burning it you know
zombie tools uses the words eff and s on their website right I mean I think
blank is an especially rude word but that reminds me you know what pisses me off
you're like don't care why can the Walking Dead get away with gore but not
a couple of bucks huh it's kind of fucked up if you think about it sorry
it's been one of those weeks okay the back row is my new favorite chopper it
has more meat behind it than my jungles - which is a real technical term more
weight in the blade means more wood a fly and as long as you keep a sharp eye
like my swing camp axe and that works better for some things feel like trees
yeah I guess trees but I like the leg sheath on the background for some reason
I like the reach in the blade shape of a kukri and I often use those more than I
do my s twig camp axe probably over my years my favorite chopper shape and a
slightly longer kukri means I can be less precise with my swings and
hopefully find more goddamn nails hidden and would also tank its long and thick
of course meeting the blade and the spine and has taken a beating and it's
perfect for my unique predicament of running a youtube channel and also
having large trees in my backyard that I have to break up and burn for some
illogical reason because I don't want to take them to the dump
plus I like starting fires well I mean I don't have a truck anymore so it's kind
of logical if you like this review subscribe to the channel but on that
like button check out zombie tools website for weaponized yard and outdoor
tools they're a small American owned company that manufactures their shit
here I mean not here in my yard but like in Montana where there's some
mountains I mean I guess maybe they live in a flat part is there a flat part of
Montana thanks to zombie tools for the channel
donation even though I don't have the name tactical in it anywhere well I mean
my yards tactical so thanks for watching
