What kinda machete do yall use/recommend for clearing brush? maybe a few sapplings too, but no big chopping.
Lost my old one a few weeks ago, it was like $15 from wal-mart, if I used it for 5 min I would havel to resharpen it, don't want something like that again.

Get a cane knife instead.
I've never liked machetes much.

Gerber makes some nice ones in the 25-35 dollar range.

go to True Value and get something made in El Salvador. Those Messicans know how to make machetes. I think the brand is Corona.

Bought a blade at the spotted dog in Columbia this year. It's a cane knife with a longer handle. That damn thing is money.

Don't waste your time on the cheap Walmart one. I used it once and it was Bent to about 30 degrees.

I just take the cheap one from academy and sharpen it. Never had any problems

I love my Sog. Not too expensive and it is a fricking horse. I've cut down 4" chicken trees with the right downward angle.
Also carry a pair of long handled Fiscars on the bike and these are miracle workers for clearing lanes.

Cheap hardware store machetes is what I've always used.

I vote w/ the "ditch bank blade", AKA "brush axe." These tools have a number of different names, but mine looks like the previous picture of "ditch bank blade." I also like the previously recommended 2 handed machete from Cold Steel.

You'll kill your back clearing brush with a machete.
Sling blade is what you need.

Get one made by Tramontina or Bellato in Brazil. They are great and once you use one, you'll never want to use an American made one again. Since a machete is an essential part of anyone's kit in Brazil, they know how to make them. And the best deal is that they are cheap. I mean like $10 cheap. Order one on the net and you'll see what I mean.

Get a machete from Ontario Knife Co. You can order from their online store. Same machete supplied to US military. Blade is harder than hard. You won't be sorry.
