I've been informed that the Mora #333 machete has been discontinued. Is it possible to buy an older one? If not, can you recommend alternatives? Stainless steel and light weight are the reasons I want a Mora 333, so any alternative would need to be stainless and light too.
 
As I understand it, the Mora 333 isn't a true 'machete'. It's described more like a long bread knife meant for light cutting like weeds and insulation batts.

Is that what you wanting or are you looking for a brush/jungle cutter?
 
Yes, that is exactly what I am wanting. My original plan was to buy 2 of them, one for use in the kitchen, and one for outdoors use. The light weight was the best feature of the Mora.
 
Anyone have any advice on how to get the Mora #333, or something like it? I originally wanted one from Baryonyx for the strengthened edge. Maybe someone somewhere has a few laying around that they aren't using, and they wouldn't mind selling them?
 
Anyone have the photos from this post?:

Mora #333 Alternative

They were hosted on Facebook and they don't display anymore. The post is about the Friedrich Dick 60390300 insulation knife:

A better photo of it is here:

Friedrich Dick is often abbreviated as FDick, F. Dick, Friedr. Dick, etc, so it's a little difficult to search around, but I haven't been able to find one of the Dick machetes. I can't order one from Baryonyx, and I'm guessing they're sold out or discontinued just like the Mora 333, so those are apparently impossible to get too. That's a crying shame because I didn't know they were the alternative to the Mora 333 until now, after they're gone. There are plenty of F Dick stiff boners available, just none of the Dick machetes.
