When you use them back to back, the Collins is much heavier than the Tramontina. I have both in the 22" blades. I have used my Tramontinas for years and they have held up well. I seldom use my 22" Collins, but it is a nicer machete.
8 hours of chopping line...there ain't no back to back... we use 24" or longer....wish I could still get the collins...
