Barteaux Machetes, where to buy?

[reloader]

I haven't been able to find Barteaux machetes anywhere lately, tried Depot, Lowes, etc., and all they have are some foreign made pieces of junk. Anyone know where to find them?

They are on the Ace Hardware website, but I didn't see any in my local Ace.

Thanks for the link, my Ace hardware didn't have them either. All they had was one made by some company called Corona, and it looked like junk. Link doesn't seem to be working from my computer though?

Something seems to be wrong with their website. I can't connect to it at all.

Well got some bad news about Barteaux. They apparently are no longer. I placed an order through the Ace website for a couple of them the other day and received a call yesterday saying that they had been bought out by Corona Clipper company. And they apparently have eliminated the Barteaux product line.

This is too bad. I'm sure it was due to the average consumer wanting even cheaper products with no regard to quality or country of origin. Well that explains not getting any email response from Barteaux.

Update: Got another call back from the Ace site saying they can get them from Barteaux. Guess they just had the info wrong in their computer and Barteaux is still going. Cool!
