I have a Condor Boomslang Knife with more heft and better quality which works better on larger growth; but for general purpose usage I prefer the traditional thin blade spring steel machete.

I've got a Condor golok. It's okay for woody stuff. It's too heavy, imo. I have a bunch of thin machetes that are very useful. I'd need to have a pretty specific reason to take the golok anywhere.
Why as a status symbol ?
A machete is a cheap sharp tool you ride hard and put up wet with a quick spray of Wd40, not some fancy expensive custom knife.
Buying an expensive custom machete is like buying a custom putty knife or expensive custom dog poop scooper.
