Slash test requests - I grew my own bamboo forest for this.

A Parang or Golok from My Parang, what they are meant for (amongst other things), great steel for the job and very well balanced so the blade does the cutting with little effort. I'd guess would perform better than most higher priced blades as they are very reasonably priced.

Definitely be trying heavy machetes in the mix.

The obvious contenders I think are large Bowie's, Kuhkri, heavy machetes, large camp knives, swords.

my fixed blade collection currently consists of; fighters, hunters, daggers, boot & neck knives, edc knives, light machetes, the CS black. bear Bowie machete & CS Barong.

I think the Barong will do well.

Doesn't sound like a lot of supersteels in the mix. Am I wrong?

Need I remind you of your comment, "bunch of geeks paying hundreds of dollars for a few inches of super-steel edged object and too chicken-shit to trim some bamboo stalks in the back yard for mortal fear they might chip their blade"???

You're not exactly exploring uncharted territory using machetes, barongs or khukuris to hack bamboo.

Lol. Dude, you started the thread.

It's like inviting everyone in your neighborhood to a BBQ party, only to announce you don't have any meat. Or a BBQ.

It appears you think I am seeking your approval or validation, good joke.

No, but after 4 pages with no action and some apparent back-peddling, we are all anxiously waiting for the results.

And I am hoping the conclusion is not going to be - a machete can slice bamboo. We expect more from you based on your condescending blanket statement regarding supersteel knife owners.
