Just a few more pics of some of my gear... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Very cool Zulu. Thank you for your service! And nice 511's how do you like them?

Thanks for that Steeley... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

As for my 511's I'm super stoaked, it's hard to believe that the thickness of the blade shaft exceeds some of my Machettes (Kalembas)... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Nice Coins ZXT! Blades ain't half bad either. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

How do you like that BG Machete?

That's pretty cool stuff.

Nice blades, and thanks for serving <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for your service zx. From your coin collection I assume you were/are a US citizen, just curious why you now hail from South Africa?

Very cool!!!

Thanks for sharing the pics

Nice collection! And thanks for your service as well. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

Supp Todd?

Morning Randy! OR should it be evening?

Hey guys thanks for all the kind words, it's appreciated.

Skorpyd I'm a South African citizen I was contracted by an American company to assist the guys in Iraq.

S-H, I'm back home and it's great to say the least... Being away from home for 3 years really makes you appreciate your loved ones, family and friends... Not to mention how a place like Iraq makes a person realise just how fortunate we are to live in beautiful countries (S.A and the U.S). Sometimes we get so caught up in the nonsense of everyday living that we loose focus of what is important... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Glad you made it home safe and sound. Now say hello to your wife and family and then get the kayak out so you'll have something to eat!

And yeah, we do tend to overlook the routine, the everyday things we have in our lives.

What I can say is that it's nice and heavy and I like the shape. I think with the added weight it should 'chop & hack' rather well. I'm heading off this weekend to establish a pathway down to a river mouth and I intend to put the BG Parang through it's paces...

I've got a few locally made Machettes and Cane knives. I'll post a few pics of them sometime this morning. They are cheap and the steel is not as thick as the BG Parang, but they do the job.

Nice collection! I like your new steel.
