Alright heres mine.

I have a Cold Steel chopper for the dirty property work

I use an Old Hickory 14 inch butcher for camp stuff

This is the Old 14" butcher

It's a beast. You can cut trees down with it.

The chopper is out in the shed so I can't get a picture.

>inb4 the picture is upside down, because it always is with me

>>809815
how thick? 1/4" ?

I really like using a 1lb clever for butchering game.

Not that thick

Around 2.5mm thick, which is in the same ballpark as machetes.

Since it's pretty good carbon steel, it can hack through pretty much anything you'd want to hack through with a machete. The thinner blade helps when cutting/slicing/hacking meat.

For the price, you can't go wrong.

Just got to keep it oiled since it's not coated.

>>809815
> for all the Mora BS, Old Hickory knives are far superior

>>809825
Its thicker than most machetes but not by a lot. 2.5mm seems about right. Its way more rigid though. Its a large butcher knife not really a Machete.

Ontario also makes Hop knife which is flat ground and thinner, still semi-rigid.

>>809938

I consider it a machete simply due to the size (14" blade is in the ballpark of machetes), shape, and it can do the same job and then some.

>>809920

Their pairing knives are good substitutes for Moras (around the same price); you also get a full tang as standard. You don't get a pouch, but you can find/make them easily enough.

Oooo that's a nice nipponese sheddy you got there Peps! All I have from the grandpas is an SS bayonet, some swastika and hitler youth armbands, and a couple nazi helmets. The bayonet is a pic related - useable but not a combat item, made for dress/parade.

I used to have a cheep sheddy but my friend broke it and now I'm mad.

I'm gonna get a polymer sheath built for it because the one it came with is like the most authentic leather I've ever seen, still smells like old Bessy

Other than that I wouldn't know how to break the blade itself it's so facking hardy.

Light wood and tinder cutting mostly lube ina desert

Its great

What brand/style of machete do you guys recommend for someone who is cheating brush in right of ways for post of their job for the next three months? Not going to have to cut down trees and such, occasionally small saplings but mostly just tall shrubs, bushes, etc. Been using co-workers BG gerber parang machete, but I hate it. Feels awkward to cut with, like I to put more force and swing past the target to cut it. Price range $20-60

>>812765
Cutting* my phone's dumb

>>812765
Tramontina. I have a bolo, it's perfect for that. Good carbon steel, good temper. You have to put an edge on it yourself, get a cheap bastard file and then keep a stone in your pocket if you want it sharper/to touch it up, I use a DC3

>>811536
They're not that expensive if you check their forum on Bladeforums for deals and seconds.

I got a 21" Gelbu Special for $125 including shipping from their forum.

From their store it goes for $200.

>>812765
Condor makes good machetes. They're the same company that makes Tramontina (or Imacasa, I forget which).

Baryonyx also sells a line of Italian machetes that I've heard good things about.

>>812998
Op pic ate Condor. Great stuff! You might look at the Village Parang.

That and its gerber counterpart are soft chinkshit. It will do well clearing small brush for a campsite or similar but that is its only function.

t. I have had one for a few years

>>815799
its alright for whacking a trail if needed but to be honest I'd rather my machete over it.

Estwing machete. I love this thing to death but it doesn't hack like a regular machete does. It's one solid piece of metal from end to end. Thickness is around a 1/16th of an inch. Anyone else got one/ have any questions I'd be happy to discuss

>>812965
I have a Tramontina that I use for getting rid of brush

Comfy to use as well

Fucking war cleaver. Looks like someone had a grinder, leaf spring, drill. Looks good for whacking off big branches.

Anyone have issues when using their machetes them rolling in your palm as they deflect from say a tougher branch or something? Is there a way to defeat this issue?

>>821336
yeah avoid tactical handles, get one with an oval straight handle. Never a round one

Did I mention you also need mad skills?

>>821824
My handle is wood. But I grabbed an old leather belt from the trash and split its halves. I'm gonna try to wrap the handle to make it thicker and see if that helps.
