Nope, I didn't make it. Bought off Amazon, and she's very sharp. I plan to purchase a machete soon. Looking at this one currently:

I had a Master Cutlery "Alpha Team" MU-1132 (pictured below). I carried it for awhile, and used and abused it pretty heavily in my contracting business. It took everything I put it through without failure, including prying. And it held a decent edge. 5 inch blade, 3/16" thick, full tang.
As pictured it's been modified from it's original form (original picture further down). It had a spear-point which I re-ground to a clip-point, I cut off the big lanyard loop as well as the "hooked" butt end of the handle, and coated the handle with Plastidip for a better grip.
The knife cost me $8 new, on closeout sale on Amazon. Eight of the best dollars I ever spent. Even cheap fixed-blades made out of low-end steel can serve a person well. Unfortunately someone stole it out of my garage last October. I thought I lived in a complex where I could leave my garage door open for a few minutes while I stepped inside my apartment. I was wrong.
