I need a fixed blade to go in the water, so I've been looking at the Benchmade H2O with combo edge and yellow handle. Unless I need to get another machete before an upcoming snorkeling trip for Lionfish (Pterois) research, that will be my next purchase. In the tropics there are many uses for every size of machete, and I will soon be needing a medium to short one, with a narrow and thin blade for cutting a path through grass and shrubs, so this might be a possible next purchase. I'm still researching the options on this one.
