mantindale machete

[johntrout]

Does anyone know a good cheap place to get martindale machetes?

I've concluded these are the best as far as toughness and utility, from what I read, if you have an opinion enlighten me....

Martindale makes some very good machetes, but for the most part I prefer the Ontario D guard machetes. Here's a thread on a comparision that I did with different machetes -

The Martindale Golok and Paratrooper are more knives than machetes, Martindale makes a wide variety of patterns, including the classic patterns similar to the Ontario blades, with more of a distal taper and tougher steel.

I saw your review Cliff, thats why I decided to get one... where did you get yours?

Cutsforth, and Martindale directly.

I think Brigade Quartermasters sells them now. Also, you could do a search on Froogle and see if any more dealers turn up.
