Cold Steel Chinese Sword Machete , everybody needs at least two !

This video especially for jbmonkey !

I've had one from South Africa for years . Used to clear out heavy brush tangles .

Just received my 2nd one , now made in China . Seems OK so far .

Pretty cool , two handed chopper . Not good for trees or big branches .

For ~$30 , well worth having , IMO .

Not me . I'm less than half that big . 3+ times as old . Maybe 1/4th as strong on a good day .

But 5X too smart enough to be down in southern swamp country vegetation . And creatures !

No offense to thou stouthearted Florida Men !

I like the video to demo what this machete can do .

I mostly use with both hands and much less casually .

This is my old one, with some handle wrap and the leading / top made a bit sharp .
