Thats a really nice machete HD.
I found that a cheap machete will do just as good clearing brush as a $200.00 large knife will, but chopping large wood is different.
I liked that quote he made about using someones elses knife and 3 blade old timer. Its funny, I have the same old timer knife and still use it once in a while, but I'm afraid to loose it since it has sentimental value.
