Keep in mind that every place on earth had to develop some kind of blade to deal with brush. And these regions had different brush, and different general design philosophies. So of course each regions gonna have their own take off something as basic as a machete

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Kukri was designed specifically for removing limbs.

I kind of wish that video game melee weapons would differentiate themselves better like this than just simple stats like damage, speed, and knockback.

My Kukri is amazing. It's the perfect combination of sword and Axe.

Cane machetes were and are used in a lot of tropical islands, the little hook on the back is good for getting coconuts off of trees

"The kukri is not specialized in crops but is a very good utility blade."
(Ahem) *draws kurki*


"Ayo gurkahli!"

[Herowebcomics]

Wow!
They have so many different shapes!

[pnmojyo]

There's something I never thought about lol. I own one (maybe a latin? Tapanga? A mix of both?) being in the middle of rural Brazil and all and it's quite handy for about everything.

[boyznthewoodz]

Kukris are also great for chopping because the blade shape makes it so that you are ripping as well as chopping

[zerasthnumbr]

Where I come from the most utilized one is the panga.

[thetnt-man]

Yes khukuri from Nepal, designed to chop heads.

[RandyLeftHandy]

I love the condor parang. It is so useful. I replaced my camping hatchet with it.

[wilsongoodfellow]

the bowie is also good for killing zombies👌

[aspiringadonis]

imagine just being like "mm I need to prepare to go into the woods allow me to take some tools for different purposes" and then have to explain why you have 10 machetes

[hellsworld]

These videos are my writer's soul dream come true. I'm taking notes like I'm trying to pass on degree lmao

[Thermo_D]

can you review TF2 melee's? Like the 3 rune blade, or the Eyelander?

[fossel-]

Kukri has utility
Probably thousands of enemy soldiers who were decapitated by gorkhas- yes yes, it's very affective

[quakxy_dukx]

I read a manhwa recently that featured a character dual-wielding kukris in reverse grip which completely defeats the point of a kukri - it’s hacking ability

[flutterchives]

Because they're called MAchetes. Not YOURchetes. Nobody shared their weapon so everybody had to make one 😂

I like your stuff and would also appreciate some longer form content when you get the chance!
