...On the topic of the next knife, has anyone ever given thought to the Yardmaking a machete? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
I know it would be quite a bit more expensive than picking up a Tram or a Collins,
but it would probably be the absolute last one you would ever buy, because it
would last you, your kids, their kids, etc.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

As one who paid $150 for a custom machete, I would buy one. But then I am a machete kind of guy. The problem is, the inexpensive Tramontinas and more expensive Condors are darned near unbreakable anyway, and they work just fine. I am such a machete freak, I'd buy a 1/8" thick NMFBM in a minute, but would anyone else?

Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.
