What is the 411 on Marbles?

The machetes are just orange painted IMACASAs with finished edges.

So they are excellent.

also what mods have you done to improve them

Knock off the back edge, flush the scales and use the hell out of it.

ok thanks has anyone changed blade shape and how has it improved it

 

[Sam Cade]

If you want a different blade shape, you don't want a bolo machete and should purchase something else.

Why change the blade shape? There are tons of machete styles out there, if you want a different blade shape...don't buy a bolo, buy something else. And yes, current Marbles machetes are made by Imacasa, just painted and provided with an actual edge, so they're a good brand.
