Cold Steel Magnum Kukri Machete (17 Inch 1055 Carbon Steel Blade) Polypropylene Handle + Cor-Ex Sheath 97MKM

This is the finest machete i have ever used. I bought two of these one for me, and one for a friend. We are clearing a half acre of thick brushy woods behind my house. The difference between this and your typical latin machete is staggering. slices through thick brush, vines, and small trees with ease. The blade is very sturdy, not like the cheaply made crap selling at walmart and lowes. Has a Comfortable grip that fits nicely into your hand. The added momentum gained with the fat, forward weighted blade makes all the difference. The blade edge is a bit rough out of the package, but a few minutes with a mill bastard file will have this thing super sharp and ready to work. We spend much time praising the awesomeness of our machetes as we hack away. If what your hacking at is 3" or less its not even worth the time to start up the chainsaw when you have this b.m.f. in hand. Buy this, you will not regret it. If there is one thing that you should carry with you going into the woods, this is it.
