i recently bought a cold steel machete with 1055 carbon steel, and (I'm new to this) how does this steel hold up to general camp use (like processing wood for campfires)? much thnx!;)
 
If it's a Cold Steel you're covered anyway. Beat the hell out of it. Yeah, it's tough steel.

Just be sure and care for it if you want it to last. Keep it clean and dry. Very thin coat of oil now and then.
