Default Machete !!!

No, not the movie character.... LOL

Ages ago I bought a machete at Popular Surplus. It said US Army on the blade. I always thought it was a cheap machete (I didn't pay a lot for it), but the grip was ok, and the blade did a good job. I did wrap the handle with braided dacron fishing line for a better grip, and I really liked it. The grip fit my hand, and the blade had enough beef to chop with.

I had it for years, but somewhere along I let it slip away.

Of course when I needed one I went to Popular Surplus and bought another one. I HATED IT. The grip hurt my hand. The blade was more like a spring than a blade. It would take a chopping edge, but a days work would dull it end to end. Actually it wouldn't do a day's work because the horrible SPROOOOONG every time you hit something with it would numb your arm in an hour. The handle would raise blisters even quicker. I've bought two or three other inexpensive machetes and I pretty much hated them all.

Finally a couple years ago I found one I really like. I'll be back later to tell you about it.
