Tim, those are two awesome machete knives. Very fine design and look like easy choppers. An inspiration to those of us who want to make a heavier machete knife. Thanks.

I've used standard wood handle WP for about ten years. Have to sharpen it. Hook is for pulling vines out to chop them -- is NOT for cutting. Takes getting used to, but is a pretty good machete+axe combo tool.

n the 1970s and through the 1990s I made 12,000 of the A. G. Russell Pocket Saftey Axe. The German maker required me to pay for all 12,000 heads up front. A great Webster Marble design from the late 1890s

Jan,

Take a look at this site. It carries all the majors. They even have a Tramontina 5 pack for $39.99, so you could check out what kind of tool would best suit you.

Tramontina is a respected brand. I'd buy a simple blade no longer than 18" and tending toward 14". Tramontina uses some of the finest steel I've ever encountered, and at much lower than $50. The men who use machetes daily need quality and a good price. Last Christmas I bought a steel steak skillet made by them. They bought the former American housewares brand "Miro" and are improving it. We'd better enjoy our descent into a third world country. We won't be able to afford the expensive stuff anymore. The skillet does an awesome job on well-marbled ribeye. Forget the all-lean steaks that can't be properly cooked.
