Hello gentleman,
I'm looking for a purpose made custom Machete, a real one, not some cheap 60$ piece of crap. I have been looking for one for the last 2 years and have been only able to find "cut from mild blank steel" types and I want something stronger that can hold an edge longer than that. RCH needs to be be at least 60-61, I have a budget of 2,000$ that I can spend. If anyone has any ideas of who I could turn to it would be greatly appreciated. Thank guys for the time.:D

I'm not looking for some wall hanger or something that is to look at. I want something made for ACTUAL use, heavy use at that.:D

Bill Siegle will gladly make you a machete for 2000.00.:D..any less you might have to wait awhile...

seriously though...you should have no problem on here finding a maker to provide a very,very nice machete for way less than your budget max....

If I can get a high quality tool that will stand up to heavy use cheaper than that, it would be just fine with me. Thanks for the info, I'm googling him now!:thumbup:

no, you wouldn't:)
look at the goloks under Java. They are incredibly strong performers and a good price. They are fully convex ground. I have three, and I've used them really hard with no failures. They take an edge easily enough and keep it:thumbup:
 
Check out Dave Farmer. Just bought a Dangerous Curves golok from him ... and I am extremely impressed.
 
oh yeah, Magnussen is doing some excellent work as well. Wildertools is the name he goes by.
 
and could make a heck of a machete/chopper...you would have to contact him though as I DO NOT know his backlog or if he would even take orders at this time...(however for your budget he may make an exception:) )


I cut down a dead 10" oak tree with one of his blades,,,however it was more substantial than a machete (5/16" thick stock) I recall seeing one machete he made that was 1/8" thick S3V steel...some VERY tough stuff...a blade made out of 5/32" or 3/16" in this same steel would make an indestructible machete/ chopper...properly used of course....

Two words: Tai Goo. He would be my first stop for an absolute cutting machine of a machette.
