I just picked up a USMC machete... wish I'd seen these first. I could have bought 3 of these for what the USMC cost me.

I believe that machete is not the heavy duty version of the Barteaux. Still a great price.

The low, hoarse purr of the whirling stonethe light-pressd blade,
Diffusing, dropping, sideways-darting, in tiny showers of gold,
Sparkles from the wheel.

I can't make the link work, but based on Hoodoo's comment, I will provide this.

The Economy models are thinner, and have a handle lacking a D-guard.

The heavy Duty modles have a thicker blade and include a D-guard.

Now, the economy are probably fine, though I find the finish values to be very low, and therefore the handle uncomfortable.

I own two Heavy Duty models, a 12" and an 18". I gave Cliff Stamp the same, and Jeff Randall an 18" Heavy Duty.

If you like, you can contact Barteaux and they will send you a catalog with all their models listed, with images.
