We brought in a special expert on machetes to answer questions this week, and outdoor aficionado Joe Flowers was only too happy to oblige! Everything from how thick the machete should be, where the edge is best used, and a knife that has indeed survived Joe’s shenanigans.

Joe Flowers needs to make more special appearances on Knife-A-Q. I always enjoy his style.

"I've got some un-blown whistles in my car."
Why is that statement so funny to me?

What a great guest! And the chemistry between the two of you is incredible! Thanks for an entertaining segment.

I absolutely love my Condor Mini Duku Parang. I've used it a ton for trail maintenance in Vermont and enjoy how it pairs the capability of a machete, hatchet and knife in one tool. The handle is comfortable and the pommel ensures the tool stays in my hand while chopping. We recently had a nasty windstorm with a lot of blown down trees and limbs. Prior to any work with a chainsaw, the parang does a fantastic job of cleaning up the worksite. Trimming smaller branches from a fallen tree makes for cleaner/safer chainsaw work and much easier cleanup.

Great to see Joe Flowers co-hosting with you on this episode David---I love his designs and his "down to earth" yet jovial form of presentation. I grew up in Barbados in the days when sugar was king and most of the arable land was planted in sugar cane. I remember the cane cutters calling their tool a "collins", (a wide bladed item with a hook on the spine near the tip)---all other types of machete were also referred to as collins. I always wondered why and only found out a few years ago that these cane cutting tools (also called cane bills) were originally manufactured in Ireland buy a company named Collins! All the best to you, Thomas and Seth, and a big shout-out to Joe!

Great story about the Caribbean. Sad about the LC200N Siren being out of production. I'm glad I have one. It's my go-to fishing folder.

PoetFisherman

I am not a Machete guy at all. But as long as DCA and Joe are running the show I am in. ... and not to forget Thomas behind the camera 😊

Joe is always great to see. He seems to legitimely love what he does and loves sharing that with an audience.

What a GREAT EPISODE! So fun to watch DCA and Joe Flowers hanging out and chatting about MACHETE'S! This was a classic video! You 2 dudes are PRO'S!

ExtraCrispy

It’s tough not to like these two. Best host and amazing guest. Thanks to both of you!

bridgednash

Such a fun episode! And reminded me of the Terasaur! I will be buying one next paycheck. Thanks David and Joe!

Entrename

Awesome video!!! Excellent to see DCA and Joe Flowers -- great energy and a very good reminder not to take ourselves and our knives too seriously. And of course Thomas comments always add to the good times!

SethRosenzweig

I LOVE this machete-focused episode. It's something I wish was discussed more on knife channels.

P.S.
I Loved your recent razor knife episode. That's another product genre I wish got more attention.

Thank you very much Knife Center team for all the fine work you do.

Always great to have a machete or chopper episode. With Joe Flowers talking machetes, this episode could easily go another half hour and not be long enough.
