All this machete talk has got me thinking about getting one. I am thinking about an 18 inch blade, or maybe even a 12 incher. I don't NEED one, but many times I might need to cut a limb about 1/2 inch or so thick and my lainhart just seems sort of overkill. Considering I don't have any "brush" to go through, what would you guys recommend I get. Ontario, martindale...etc and as I have said I am STRONGLY considering an 18 inch blade.
