Every Level 30 white knight worth their weight in Cheetos and manga comics knows a hero needs
a proper side piece, to save a fair maiden from uh.. white walkers and Chads.
And as long as the product description says machete it's not technically a sword right
MLady?
So tip your hat and pause the hentai while we check out the dimensions of the Condor
Tool and Knife Yoshimi Machete.
Like the overall length and weight.
with and without the sheath.
The blade length and cutting edge.
Tipping intensifies, the handle size and grip area.
Handle thickness and spine thickness.
Also thanks to Lemons EDC and cirrus1992 on instagram for allowing me to steal their jokes
without permission.
Also Baily Sollenberger wanted But three jokes, so at his request I removed most of them-
including all the good ones.
Youre welcome!
The Yoshimi was a little shorter than I'd expected from its tinder profile...
I had in mind a standard mantle piece.
It's a heavy elongated machete- so you need to take lots of vitamins.
The not enchanted19 ish inch blade is made from 1075 High Carbon Steel, and is sharp
as shit out of the box.
Would you be surprised if I said I cut myself accidentally?
It's coated with a black traction powder coat on the sides, but not the spine... so make
sure you wipe it down after defending her honor- otherwise your tears my rust it the
fuck up.
The powder coat is pretty thick... and not like the slick teflon stuff on my Schrade.
Even though it's handle heavy it has a pretty beefy spine all the way down.
The Yoshimi is a full tanged blade, and it has a two toned micarta handle scale slabs
over the I would assume solid tang- which no mater how you say it isnt a compliment,
but it feels heavy enough that there isn't probably any skeletonization.
The handle scales are not removable, unless you do some drilling.
They are pretty smooth...
now even if you've disciplined your body, you might have a hard time holding onto this
one handed (even if you've maxed out your one handed), when swinging at cellulose based
foes.
There isn't much or any of a pommel, so hard forward swings one handed might cause you
to lose a grip if you're not careful.
And I'm not careful.
I respect the handle for being very comfortable and pretty, but since it's a heavy blade in
theory you'll swing a lot, it's probably best to use two hands, of which there's plenty
of room.
Maybe attach a lanyard.
The sheath youre like you mean scabbard, because I guess it's technically an s-word.
the sheath is a kydex and molle compatible, but to mount it inside your trenchcoat you'll
probably have to figure something out.
It has two snapping loops up top keeping the handle secure...
they're a little hard to close one handed.
The back has multiple snaps and loops to mount it preferably to a backpack- so people know
to back the fuck off.
But mostly because it's too large for a belt- although it does have belt loops if you want
to give it the old college try.
The nylon fabric is a high quality woven green, and the snaps are fairly robust.
But...
I can't stress enough, this is a heavy blade... and the kydex is joined together by rivets
and glue...
Up top there is a good inch or more that is not riveted... since the blade and the handle
are thick...
my sheath is starting to come apart near the top.... the rivets down lower should keep
it from getting larger- but I wonder how long before the kydex might start splitting out
from that section...
I feel like it's a slight design error on the sheath.
Maybe they should have went with a similar sheath to their tactana sword... something
leather instead?
Also note theres no drain holes at the tip, so if youre defending a small group of villagers
against a group of bandits in a heavy downpour, the tip might fill up with water.
Alright since we know it's more socially acceptable to buy a machete for yardwork or bushwhacking,
than a sword...
Let's beat it up like the neighbors aren't watching.
I mean they probably are.
Oh the fine young man is just making Youtube videos.
Oh really?
It's not that weird at all.
Let me just start out by saying...
I'm not exactly sure what this was designed for- ok maybe this channel.
I can see somewhere in El Salavdor in a boardroom in a high rise the design team this is translated
from Spanish of course Theres only so many idiots that buy swords what if we just called
it a machete but made is look like a katana kind of.
Maybe we could get some different idiots to buy it oh yeah- like the Youtube market.
Perfect!
I've felt the functionality of a machete always had to do with it being a thinner piece of
metal, so you could swing it fast and cut through light and medium sized branches...
This thing is pretty stout all the way to the tip, and while it's not hard to swing,
you have to really hold tight if you swing it fast at a limb... and when you swing it
fast there's not much keeping it in the hand.
I mean you do already own a pair of fingerless gloves, so maybe use thoseOk so its hard to
see but you control where the force is on the blade by applying different amounts of
pressure to each hand youll need to beat on some wood though, so you can figure it out
and by the way I did get a blister from whacking the wood.
Sorry the chug dude, I don't have a spare meat tire laying around.
Mmm meat tires.
Ok...
I literally have no idea how much I'll use this.
Its terrible for food prep, but if I hold it just right I can take down an entire stalk
of bamboo in a swing or two.
I have some smaller choppers that might be better served for breaking apart yard garbage.
Things that are much lighter, that aren't as embarrassing for the neighbors to see me
with.
Lighter choppers mean you can swing them longer with less fatigue.
I'm going to be reviewing the Junglas II soon... so keep an eye out for that.
