BRK&T Decision..Golok or Machete ?

Looks to me like that the third pic down shows the Chute's top rivet on the side of the Golok sheath, and maybe the lower rivet just penetrates the face piece of leather on the golok sheath?
 
I am on this same fence right now. Leaning a little more towards the machete because I already have some heavy duty choppers.
 
As always, I applaud your taste in blades Tony. :thumbup: I'm Jonesin' for a Golok. We don't have much Kudzu here in Texas but there's plenty of hard wood. I like the thicker blade on the Golok.
 
I live In coastal Southern Georgia, near Florida. I use machetes a lot on my jungle-like property. I ordered the golok. It looks like it would work well here. I will soon know. :D

That is my sheath, made to my specs by JRE. The top sheath is riveted to the leather top of the Golok sheath. It is based on the way I rigged my Lil' Chute/Golok combo;

It allows me to stick the sheath combo under my belt and carry both knives "pirate style." I often hunt and fish in river bottoms in cental NC. We use the boat to access deep areas of woodland in game lands where waking in is not an option. We get there, pull into a creek and climb up the bank to explore, camp and hunt. The Golok is the perfect all around big camp knife for clearing trails, cutting poles for shelters and games pole, splitting wood, and even quartering game. I use the Lil' Chute in the combo for more delicate work like skinning, food prep, and fuzz sticks.

I own both the KSF machete and the BRK&T Golok from the original run and after several outings I have decided that the Golok is the superior knife in my area of temperate hardwood and pine forest.
 
I must be cazy. I ordered the machete, too. The palmettos are doomed......until they grow back and I chop them again. It is there own version of Hell! I do enjoy whacking palmettos for some sick reason. :D
 
Horn Dog,

If you are ever looking for a little vacation, you can up my way and chop a couple million wild roses....
