wow Vic
How do you like the Wordern? Well it is sure scary to look at, but as far as I can tell it chops like any other Ontario 18" machete.
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

I have a couple Bark River Northwind brush swords and they totally rock. They will out chop my Busse AK-47 without breaking a sweat. They are basically longer and pointier goloks. I also have a custom golok on order, it was supposed to be done last month, but I'm still waiting.

If Bark River makes it I believe you, Ted. Maybe one day I'll get one of BRKTs big ones.

Cool Comparison Horn Dog. It's hard to beat a good machete for the low price. I used my CS Kukri for many years outdoors before I got my Busse FBM. Now I prefer it. There are so many styles of machetes out there and they are usually cheap and
easy to obtain.

Good job again Victor! I knew the DFLF would prevail in the end. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> That knife is just such a bruiser/fighter/chopper/camp knife. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> We took on 18 inches today of new snow but one day I will get the opportunity to take my DFLE out and play. Until then please keep the inspiration high with your tests! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Cabin fever is pretty bad these days. The worse snowfall total in Wisconsin history this season. I can't wait till we can go out and play again! Thanks Vic! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> peace.
Some people just never learn.

Well done and great review HD! I was kinda suprised by the machete with being able to split the oak, but not suprised with the DFLE.

150 is not bad at all!
I thought they were more than that!
they're not as big as I thought though, the blade is only 11" long.
I thought it was going to be like at least 15".
still they're awesome.
do they make axes now?
I saw an adrvertisement on knifeforums and it included axes.
if I ever bought a barkie, it would either be a bravo 1, with some kind of burl handle.
or a golok.
if they're only 150$ I say go for it. I really want a Golok, but I cant justify the cost right now.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> BUT That Bravo1 really makes me smile...I been jonesin for one since they came out...It is my personal favorite barkie
