Thanks for the pointer. I’ll keep an eye on it. Right now, I’m tapped for this month. If it hangs around, though...

I'm sure Busse could make the most awesome machete on the planet, BUT machetes are a dime a dozen and don't need to be made of great steel.
Instead, I'd like to see a hybrid Bolo (Bolo-Golok) that has a handle long enough for the option of two handed chopping. Obviously, heavier than a machete. Using tough steel with a convex grind. I always liked the B13 blade, just turn it around so the curve is on the spine, and the blade is straight or straighter. A machete is not as all-around useful in North America as a medium weight Bolo or Golok (my opinion of course). I have a cheapie Condor Pack Golok which I like because it can chop and do some clearing. I'd love to see a well balanced Busse Bolo-Golok with the longer handle of a Golok and the width of a Bolo. Using decent tough steel with a 13 inch blade but longer handle.

I've owned both the Dragon's Fang and the Chuckette'
I still have the Chuckette', I don't know if I need anything thin I don't cut brush.
The DF didn't cut very well, the Chuckette' is a brute.
David, do you still have the Chuckette' video doing your 2X4 Chop?
Can you Please post it?
My other go to in the woods is my Nuked MOAB
AND..Hi Will, How are ya Buddy?
