If I wanted to buy a machete specifically to kill someone what brands are good?
I'd prefer something with a blade 11"-16" within a $25 budget, and nothing paper thin or flimsy.
spend 12 bucks at walmart and you have resolved all of your machete delimmas
Walmart prices will get you walmart results, faggot. Buy real tools not nigger choppers.

Throw that shit at a squirrel like a spear.

I said not flimsy

too expensive and not long enough
Cold Steel sword style machetes.
Nice try, FBI.

This. If the question is "I want a bladed object to commit murder with" the answer is Cold Steel.
If you increase your budget, you can get the Cold Steel Chinese War Sword Machete, which will definitely kill someone.
If you want a nigger ax get a cold steel off amazon.

Is cold steel all that good or are you just shills? Right now I'm looking at 12 inch ontario machetes

I've never owned a Cold-Steel item myself, but I have a friend who bought one of their butterfly knives like a faggot and that little thing can hold a seriously sharp edge

a machete isn't the ideal tool for killing anyone. I highly suggest you rethink your path of action.
But Husqvarna are top tier, Fiskars if you want to spend less. Don't be tempted by those shitty USMC surplus, they're handle is loose and the blade begins to wobble after a few uses, and they dull quickly
>>31045223
they make decent knives, not my first choice, but they're one of the few reputable places that makes weaponized machetes
Just go buy a normal fucking bolo or Latin machete like a normal genocide-fueled African man.
Ontario or Cold Steel, it doesn't matter
>>31041845
Go check Kult of Athena or Hanwei or Iberia or even fucking Condor

Basically. It is hard to beat the slashing power of a two handed Chinese war sword if you are limited to inexpensive steel.

Ok Jason Voorhees, you are away from Camp Crystal Lake and lost, its time to go home.

>Shills
Come on, that kind of thing only happens in the movies. I'm just a regular everyday guy like you, and I want you to know that Cold Steel is the finest cutting implement manufacturer in the United states. Also, when you buy Cold Steel, you know you're supporting American business and that's the greatest investment of all.

I'll assume you mean in self-defense.
>$25 budget
18" Ontario, you should have enough for the 2mm economy model but you could also splurge on the standard 3mm model. IMO it's hard to beat Ontario's machetes but the handles will probably require some sanding and/or taping. If you spend a bit more you can get something from Condor or Aranyik, although the latter rarely imports and you'll probably only find Aranyik stuff early next year on Amazon or by contacting Miles @ Bladeforums.

For a $25 weapon used machete they are the best.
Their machetes are good as are most of their less expensive knives. The expensive stuff is mostly for idiots.

I'm calling machetes this from now on
