Looking for a real machete

[themcfarland]

plus three for the brazilian blade.. If you want a custom cut one from tool steel, I have a friend who makes mine now, and I can give a referal if your looking for custom..

+1 for machete specialists. Look at their Condor Range. I do a lot of trail work and this machete out performs any other machete I have ever used

Age of the internet gives you specialty websites.

I used them before. Good service.

Sinclairs Army Surplus, Baton Rouge, is where I got mine at. Like military issue. Not expensive either.

I still like the weight of the Barteaux an sons, have a couple 16", 18" and 22" straight and saw back, Buy em when i can find em, as they finally folded, due to cheap china imports. have 1 old military WW11 vintage, 30 1/2 inches overall.

Buy your Tramontina from here and for extra $6.50 they do all the work needed to it. Mine came in razor sharp and ready to go...

I'm also positive that Sinclair's army surplus is now closed. I've had the old fashioned Ontario machete that was first pictured in the thread since 1989. It's been a great machete so far.

Gerber brush thinner. This is one bad ass little machete, and it will take a beating. The wife even accidently built a fire on top of mine,.. I smoothed the handle back down and put it right back to work.

Tramontina bolo $16.50 with work done to it and can't be beaten, just little rem oil every now and then and pass a stone on it.

Picked this guy up from daluth trading since I was placing and order anyways. Little pricey but I really like it. Cut a bunch of banana trees down today with it.

I like a good machete. I've had a few over the years and still favor the old mil surp, although there are so many new offerings. I've rescued a few of the oldies, usually just a little de-rusting or some new handles due to the old plastic "US" hollow scales falling apart after a few years.
Or just make one...

This puppy was a very old framing square that just happened to have the right temper and mass. It weren't fit for duty as a square anymore, so it found a new life and has seen about 15 years of service. Fit right in the old "US" green canvas scabbard by chance.

Nothing fancy, but it's got a ergolicious grip that was made just for me.

Lol, just saw this. That would make my year!
