There is nothing he did in the demonstration that a good sharp Ontario Camp Machete can't do. Nice knife. Looks like a good deal to me. If a lighter, faster flat ground blade is what you want, I have had this one since 1994.

This is a great all-around camp knife for about $50. It is not in the same league as the Dog Father, though. It has served me well. Plain old 1095 steel.
