Machete research

[Perd Hapley]

We need to put up fencing so we can get goats.  The machetes are to hack out a fence line.

Figuring next spring we'll get the goats.  Then next fall we'll eat the goats.

Good plan.

Yay for edible lawnmowers

The most comfortable out of the box machete I have ever used is the Condor wood handled 18" El Salvador model.  It costs a bit more than many, but you get a great leather sheath with it.  I have a number of machetes made by Ontario and Condor.  I will never buy another Ontario machete no matter the price.

I have a couple of the Condor knives and like them a lot for what they are. Super easy to sharpen. Though from what I've seen prices on Condor stuff has skyrocketed since a few years back when I got my knives.

I have obviously noticed the price increases on Condor stuff.  I used to just pick something up just to play with it, now not so much since last year.  I have to really want that particular blade.  Condor has gone to MAP pricing also which ups the price a bit, but levels the knife business playing field somewhat.  That happened last year.

Tramontina machete- best quality to price ratio that you’ll find.
I use a cheap $15 paki Kukri for most brush/vine chopping
