I feel these two guys who posted above me kiiiiiinda know what they're talking about. If they lead -- I'll follow nuff said. Oink!!
I absolutely agree! Try using a MOAB like a machete for cutting grass and light brush - it would be a waste of time and energy trying to swing something so heavy fast enough to cut efficiently. I am not saying that thick-bladed knives are not useful, they are, but not as a machete. For some jobs, a thin knife gets the job done better and easier.... Although a true machete works because it's thin. Making a fat machete gives you a big machete that sucks or a super wide knife that's unwieldy...
18" blade, 1/8" thick, 2" wide would be the specs for my purposes. Nice and light.
For the Nguyen!!!
It's nice when someone gets it correct.![]()
Too thick for a machete. I would be happy with one done by the Yard, 18" blade of SR77, 1/8" thick.
