12 best tops survival machetes

Product description

The Spetsnaz is a Soviet special ops group that had its beginnings in WWII era Russia. During the Cold War, the need for a multi-purpose blade became apparent, so a survival machete was designed to chop, cut, pry, saw, hammer, and perform just about every other field duty. This modern update takes the original design and improves the functionality in a couple of ways. The original had a hollow, squarish plastic handle to store matches and the like, but made the knife incredibly tip heavy and hard to use. This version has a full profile tang and contoured hardwood scales for superior comfort and balance. Secondly, the original blade was made from super-hard steel so the knife could be used as a pry-bar but was next to impossible to sharpen. Modern carbon steel makes this updated blade easier to give a fresh edge. This is a thick, tough campmate that excels in light to medium/heavy chopping (a little short of a hatchet), digging and emergency sawing. The top blade bevels are sharpened to a chisel edge. The tang and blade are a full 3/8" thick for plenty of heft and durability. Integral thumb rest has a nail puller slot. Nylon sheath has leather trim and two belt loops (fits roughly up to a 2-1/4" belt width, depending on belt thickness) for tip-up or tip-down carry. Weighs 2 lbs. 15-1/2" overall, 10" blade. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts.

User questions & answers

Question:	Looks to me like this is just about the best possible blade to baton wood. How thick is the spine? Anybody find anything better
Answer:	1st rule of hiking...don't talk about hiking (rule broken) 2nd rule of hiking...always hike with a buddy 3rd rule of hiking... if you come across a bear, stab your buddy, because... 4th rule of hiking...you don't have to be faster than the bear, you just have to be faster than your buddy 5th rule of hiking (and 1st rule of bears), never bring a knife to a bear fight
Question:	Is this made is America
Answer:	CONDOR AUSTRALIAN ARMY MACHETE
Question:	What is the size of this knife
Answer:	Nope, because this sheath is looped (to slide onto a belt) AND it is big enough to insert the blade in either direction (edge facing left or right), you can actually wear it on either side and draw it regular or cross from both positions. Very useful.
Question:	What kind of steel is used
Answer:	my machete as pictured and I ordered (3), had no pocket you mention, very well made machete. Big problem on all (3) of the machetes I ordered, the retaining snap is placed in the wrong place and won't wrap around the handle and snap. I contacted vendor, no help even after sending before and after photos, cost me $20/machete to fix problem. I took the scabbard to a shoe repair shop, where the leather strap was relocated and could snap, securing the machete. Informed. Solid made machete but doubt I would purchase again based on the securing snap issue and lack of vendor help to resolve problem properly.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the sheath give a positive click when you put it back in
Answer:	No it does not. However it is snug and has a Velcro strap that secures it in the sheath.
Question:	How thick is the spine at the cross-guard and how thick is the spine at mid belly
Answer:	3/16" on both
Question:	I see this is now listed as 8cr steel, instead of 3cr steel. How is the 8cr steel on edge holding
Answer:	It holds an edge better than 3CR steel. 8CR is a good entry level alloy in decent pocket knives. I never understood why Schrade used 3CR on this knife.
Question:	Can this be worn on your lower back where your belt is left to right going over to some nasty places overseas where you need to deal with certain anim
Answer:	I'm sure you could rig it by adding Velcro straps or whatever, its big though,, the sheath is very nice, it is a hard plastic and holds the knife nicely. it comes with a rigid loop for your Belt but also an adjustable sling which looks like it will be most handy. It really is impressive.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is that little notch next to the hook for? Besides pulling branches what does that hook do that the straight blade couldn't
Answer:	The notch is used for hand placement when making shavings from a log. The hook is used to clear areas where swinging is not possible. For example, when you clear vines from next to a building or post, you can not use a full swing motion, so instead you can use the hook and pull it towards you. The hook comes in very handy in tight quarter clearing.
Question:	Why does the edge stop at the point
Answer:	The tool was designed with the blunted point as a safety precaution for the user.
Question:	Is it a full tang
Answer:	Yes, full tang. Good steel also. Pretty awesome tool to have.
Question:	Could someone descibe the technique/tools they use to sharpen sickle edge
Answer:	Hello - we include a Lansky Sharpening Stone (American Made) in our orders that is a long, rounded rectangular shape. You will use the wide side of the stone to sharpen the long blade and the edge of the stone for the hook. Sharpen in one 'pushing' motion, not pulling. Pushing the stone against the edge in one direction will sharpen the sickle edge. The long length of the stone will keep your hands and fingers away from the sharp edge. Scotch Brite material should remove rust on the flat surfaces.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the knife have a 90 degree flat spine
Answer:	Yes, the spine is flat and perpendicular to the sides of the blade.
Question:	What country is it made in
Answer:	Made in Taiwan
Question:	Do you think it will ruin the blade if i sharpen it with a Smith's PP1 Pocket Pal Sharpener
Answer:	Hi, Don't get the Smith's Pocket Pal (the quality is low compared to the Lansky Sharpeners). Buy either a Lansky Blade Medic or a Lansky Quad Sharp (both sharpeners under $15.00). Both are all metal construction (not made of plastic and can take years of rugged abuse without falling apart. Blade medics are my go to in all my packs and bugout bags because they are easy to add a razor sharp edge to your knife very quickly. They have preset 25 degree sharpeners in carbide and ceramic. Also, it has a ceramic stone for free hand honing and a round diamond file for serrated blades. I've always had razor sharp blades using the blade medic. The Quadsharp has four preset carbide sharpeners set to 17, 20, 25, and 30 degrees as well as a white ceramic honing tool to remove the burs from the blade edge. Finishing up with a leather or polyester strop is always a good idea (if you aren't familiar with honing with a ceramic rod/stone which with my sharpening skill works just the same if not better). Remember, ceramic is harder than steel. A little fact: Ceramic stones/rods come in a variety from course to ultra fine. Ultra Fine, Black, Ceramic Stones have been (and still are in other countries) used to sharpen medical scapels to cut open flesh during surgery. The scapel doesn't need to be stroped after using a Black Ceramic Stone. As for me, I purchase the ceramic rods below and use them free hand to keep my knifes razor sharp (the 4 1/2 in for knife cases and bugout bags and the 8 1/2 for general home use): 4 1/2 inch Ceramic Sharpening Rod https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00AFWPHV0/ref=pd_aw_sim_200_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=QPRBE7Z8C16T5BC4T5WG&dpPl=1&dpID=31C2G1KnIbL 8 1/2 inch Ceramic Sharpening Rod https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00AFWNNPC/ref=mp_s_a_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1517075475&sr=8-10&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=Ceramic+sharpening+rod Genuine Arkansas Black Surgical (Ultra Fine) Pocket Knife Sharpening Stone Whetstone 3" X 1" X 1/4" in Leather Pouch Bap-13A-L https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015AA288G/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_pcmBAb32HDKEG Lansky Blade Medic https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0085PPSIQ/ref=pd_aw_fbt_200_img_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=VZSSQ3XGGZ505HPDWJ6P Lansky Quadsharp https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01BE8KCN6/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1517075822&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=lansky+quadsharp&dpPl=1&dpID=418TUEPisEL&ref=plSrch Sincerely, SurvivalGeek (YouTube)

There are knives you see on survival shows. Then there’s the real deal. With a generous sized blade, comfortable handle and reinforced nylon sheath this is the survival machete to use when the only thing you’ll be cutting to is your destination.



The Chanceinhell is a beefy fixed blade survival machete designed by award-winning custom knife-maker Ken Onion of Kaneohe, HI to be tough, strong, and work like an ox. A thick, carbon steel blade has a black powder coat that is durable in extreme environments. Built for hard use, it’s easy to sharpen after you've put the finishing touches on your handmade hotel in the woods.



Half the battle in any survival situation is with your own physical exhaustion. To combat that, the double injection molded handle is ergonomically designed to reduce hand fatigue and features multiple lanyard holes for varied grip options. The result is more efficient cutting action that’ll make thick brush R.I.P.



This machete includes a reinforced nylon sheath with a unique velcro belt loop system that can be changed between two positions: dangling or snug against the belt. An extra paracord fob comes laced onto the sheath for emergencies or lashing this machete to a pack, truck, or pack mule.



The Chanceinhell is the knife to grab for ensuring your own survival or that of a few Hollywood actors who are in over their heads.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the grind on the knife
Answer:	Not sure what the actual angle is but it's more of a "tool" angle, considering the thickness of the knife and the intended use, it's not a bad angle. Coupled with the 1095 and Tops' differential heat treatment process, it holds up well and keeps a great edge.
Question:	How thick does the blade measure
Answer:	The blade is 1/4" thick at the base of the blade next to the handle, then it tapers to shape the blade. It's full tang, which is 1/4" thick through the handle. Very, very solid.
Question:	What is the blade hardness rating
Answer:	The hardness rating is 56-58 RC
Question:	So they do come with the Tops warranty and Certificate
Answer:	yes they do. I have two of these knives.

ESEE JUNGLAS-II

Introducing the JUNGLAS-II-E same as the original JUNGLAS but now offered in a more compact version that’s two inches shorter than the original.

The Junglas is named after the Colombian police “JUNGLA” Compañía Jungla Antinarcóticos special operations forces and was originally designed as a cross between a fixed blade knife and a machete to be employed in Latin American jungle and counter-narcotics operations. The original Junglas now sees service with counter-narcotics operators, adventurers and woodsmen globally.

Care/Maintenance: ESEE carbon steel knives are made from 1095 steel. 1095 is a top choice for professional cutlery designed for hard use, it will rust and stain if not properly cared for – especially on the cutting edge and around the laser engraving. It is the user's responsibility to keep the blades properly lubricated and cleaned. We suggest using a dry film rust inhibitor such as TUF-GLIDE or TUF-CLOTH.

User questions & answers

Question:	How does this compare to the Ontario RTAK II
Answer:	The only RTAK worth owning, is the original. The 1st gen RTAKs are more tough; less brittle. You certainly won't shatter it (unlike the RTAK II)! Given how difficult it would be to find a gen-one RTAK though, I'd just go with the BK9..
Question:	Bk7 or bk
Answer:	I had the same "wonderful" problem, so I purchased both of them. At the end I decided to keep the BK9 and send the BK7 back. This is my analysis and strictly my opinion: The BK9 can do 80% of all the things the BK7 can do. The BK9 has a much much stronger blade point and thus is far superior for batoning. The BK9 is the knife that is in a special category and looks, feels and can do probably everything that the MAJORITY of your other knifes can NOT do. The BK9 is THE knife that I would keep, if I were given only ONE CHOICE of knifes to own. In my particular case, the BK7 would have been just "another one of those MANY knives" that are stored in my closet and just sit around, waiting to be used....but are not! The BK9 has to work hard, gets no rest and gets not pampered. It truly is one of those incredibly good knives.
Question:	Is the blade full tang
Answer:	Yes it is full tang .. 1095 HC it has a really rough Finnish on it that is very strong.. 1095 HC can rust though so if u rem oil it it'll b fine this is honestly my favorite knife I own and definitely the toughest knife out there it sharpens up very well and stays sharp the handle is ok but if you want u can upgrade that or put the tennis racket grips over the existing handle to give it more grip the sheath at first I thought it wasn't to great but I now really like it .. It is definitely the best knife for 80 $ out there for the cash you are not going to brake this knife
Question:	Does anybody know what country the BK9 is made in
Answer:	I called the Becker cite and was advised the BK9 "country of origin" is USA.

Ka-Bar Becker BK9 Combat Bowie Fixed Blade Knife

Ethan Becker is a man after our own heart. An avid outdoors-man who enjoys martial arts and hunting, Becker founded Becker Knife and Tool Corporation in the early 1980's to design the industrial-strength tactical and survival knives he'd always wanted for himself. What we love about Becker, other than his innovative designs, is that he spends so much time in the outdoors testing new equipment and designs. KA-BAR is proud to be the manufacturer of Becker's five best-selling models - all introduced recently and brought up to date and approved by Becker himself.

Product description

You won’t need to call out in the jungle. But the brush will cry mercy.



With a generous sized blade, comfortable handle and reinforced nylon sheath, this is the survival parang to use when you are your own rescue party.



The Halfachance is a beefy fixed blade survival parang designed by award-winning custom knifemaker Ken Onion of Kaneohe, HI to be tough, strong and work like an ox. A thick, carbon steel blade has a black powder coat that is durable in extreme environments. Built for hard use, it easily takes an edge in the field after you’ve finished cutting yourself out of the depths of the jungle.



Half the battle in any survival situation is with your own physical exhaustion. To combat that, the double injection molded handle is ergonomically designed to reduce hand fatigue and features multiple lanyard holes for varied grip options. The result is more efficient slicing action when you need to cut your own path. Literally.



This parang includes a reinforced nylon sheath with a unique velcro belt loop system that can be changed between two positions: dangling or snug against the belt. An extra paracord fob comes laced onto the sheath for emergencies or lashing this parang to a pack, truck, or pack mule.



Reach for the blade that brings you home safely—even when you have only Halfachance of survival.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does anyone know where this knife is made specifically when it is imported
Answer:	Supposedly you can use a stick or dowel through the hole to act as a second grip. Using both hands you can use the blade as a draw knife.
Question:	What's the difference between this and the cheaper k920kkpc (seems to be a prime member exclusive
Answer:	Absolutely, it’s covered by ESEE’s lifetime warranty.
Question:	is it similar steel to cold steel blades
Answer:	No, the grind lines wound not be ideal for slicing brisket. It is more suited for brush, small tree limbs. The Victorinox 12 Inch Fibrox Pro Slicing Knife with Granton Blade would be a much better choice
Question:	Is the blade traditional (tip fine work, middle chopping, extra fine work near handle
Answer:	Mine was black. It was an inexpensive item and the blade holds an edge just about like you would expect for an item of this price.
