looking at either the Valiant Survival Golok or a Martindale #2 but when I googled them I could not find a retailer.
Any help folks?

Other recommendations?

Thanks
 
I Googled "martindale" + "golok" and the third entry is a dealer - Cutsforth.

Ed: located in Oregon. Valiant is having supply problems. A few Bark River goloks were still around when last I looked, but only in black micarta handles.
 
I found the Cutsforth but I can not get the links to work in their webpage. I tought they were no longer valid. I have found some of the BR in other materials so I might go with them I have no idea about the quality of the blade steel, 0170-6 another site says it A2. Any thoughts on this?
 
Briggz, you are dead right. I went to the Cutsforth home page, and they are only showing the Martindale machetes as "in stock." In fact, only the Martindale Jungle Knife is listed as a product they carry (but "out of stock").

0170-6 is a well-regarded carbon steel. You can Google bark river in the Advanced Search exact phrase box and golok or goloks in the third box. This will show you reviews of the BRKT golok at this and other forums. They are positive reviews. I have a couple. They work just fine for me - especially good for batoning rounds of wood.
 
Check out the stuff from Reflections of Asia too! You won't be sorry you did.
 
Thanks MP510, but Brigade Quartermasters only lists the sheath, not the golok. I called them and a fellow said he'd find out when they would get more and let me know.
