Ok, so let me start by saying most won't consider this because of cost. $150-200 for a machete is a lot.
So I ordered one from a guy in the US not knowing a whole lot about it.
The machete I have owned have all been cheap and nasty (which is what they should be) but I decided that I'd like to try the bark river.
Assumption by me:
- it will be over engineered
- heavy compared to other machete
Well I was proven wrong on both counts. This baby is very light for a piece of metal this large. Shaving sharp and very well finished.
I would never try to say it is worth the money over a cheaper version as thats BS. A $30 machete sharpened will do the same job.
I will say that anyone wanting something really special (that they love to have with them) with a nice handle excellent cutting then this baby is definitely for you..
I'll get some pics tonight, but I have to say I am very happy with my purchase...
Its so light I would have no probs taking it as well as my GB wildlife.
Here is a pic (Not my machete - I'll get some soon)
