Machete Pics

Re: Machete Pics
Jim, that looks to be a copy of a Woodman's Pal.
https://www.google.com/search?q=wood...L4rGygHV64C4Cw Price ain't too bad. The real thing runs between 80 and a hundred bucks. I've got one of them Kuhkris, that JLA shows. Ain't never used it for anything. Grip don't feel right in my hand. One I use all the time is an Ontario Knife 10" Bolo.

Re: Machete Pics
Nope. It sharpens up pretty easy with a 10" bastard. It's pretty soft steel. If I want to I can get out my hockey puck and put a real edge on it, just like doing an axe. I can get it shaving sharp, but doing brush down at the ground, and hit a rock and take a chip in the edge (I can see 3 of 'em in that picture, near the wide part of the blade), so I don't do the "really sharp" thing. Just did it once to see if it would take.

Re: Machete Pics
It takes forever to sharpen the Kukri. they are forged from truck leaf springs in India. And the steel is very hard. I use one of those puck sharpeners for it like Alpo mentions.
