Lighter and longer than the BWM. This knife WORKS. Dan did this one just right!
BTW: This is not the most expensive machete I own. The Bark River was over $200 and it is actually a cut down re-handled Ontario. I also own Collins,Condor,
Martindale, Gavilan, Cold Steel, and ESEE machetes. This 1311 is my favorite short machete of all. I even consider the BWM sort of a machete, but the 1311 tops it for my uses. Dan did just the right thickness and grind on this one, IMO.
