I don't have a Machete knife but I think it would be handy to have one. Here is a pic of one that Gerber makes. I am wondering about what you guys have. Here's a linc to the Gerber.

I gave 20 for it a couple years ago. 13" blade and its chopped a ton of firewood and carp. mailny all i use it for. Its a good camp/boat knife..

That's a nasty knife. I like it.

 

[JLA]

Jim, that looks to be a copy of a Woodman's Pal.

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.

Thanks Alpo. I won't consider it then. I am on the prowl for one. I like the one you have in the pic. Is it hard to sharpen?

 

[Alpo]

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.

 

[JLA]

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.

All mine are working knives, I don't have pictures of all of them but here are the ones I use the most.
