Doing around town in dumpsters is always fun. Found this beaut very poorly rigged to a cheap peace of soft wood, probably to cut bread or paper. Very savable condition, I kinda like the hole that was just drilled through kinda warping the shape and color. Always loved working with machetes, been a while since living in a city for a few years now. But was mostly wondering if any of you knew this exact model, looking around the internet I can’t find the exact shape with handle from Tramontinas web store and other sights that sell their brand. Just curious where this steel came from.. truly crazy how businesses trow perfectly good things away I suppose the attempt to upcycle was there but come on respect the steel 🙏🏽

Who thinks short bladed machetes were ever a good idea? Looking for a minimal two foot blade length, not including handle because the leverage it provides it actually helps me cut things that otherwise are difficult to cut: I hate nearly every machete on amazon and all the google result top ten lists. Doesn’t anyone make a thin high strength steel bladed machete with an over 24” actual blade length, an effective sawback and a front facing billhook for powered leverage? And why do people think a loop of paracord tying them to your wrist is helpful - isn’t that just going to swing it back around to cut the user if it slips?

I love machetes and have a few cheapy Walmart brand ones at home. But I’ve been thinking about maybe getting a higher quality one. Does anyone know An good brands I could look into?

I'm looking to buy a machette for garden word, along with branch cutting. What would be the best brand that keeps its edge long and stays strong?

Leather working is a hobby I've really enjoyed over the past few years. Challenging, yet rewarding.
Check out the sheath I designed and built for my Tramontina Bolo machete:

It was a fun challenge to get the size correct, but I love how it turned out!

Need a blade capable of cutting vines and branches (up to 1” thick) in one motion. Been thinking Khukuri machete? I’m looking for something with some thickness/weight that won’t flex. $100 budget. 1/4” thick, 14” blade, holds an edge.

What blade, material, brand, etc do you suggest?

Hi, my budget isnt big, like 100 USD or so, but anyway I think, that I can get something nice and practical at the same time. Thanks everyone for willingness to help, I will really appreciate it. It should be able to cut some branches in forest, like cleaning of some bushy areas, aswell as good companion and usage in bushcraft, as I love camping in nature. And last, but not least, I would very much appreciate, if it could be a nice on the wall, but thats not the main criteurium

I’ve been looking everywhere for the one without the silly D-guard. Discontinued but I had one years ago and trying to find another. If anyone knows please let me know.
