I have never considered myself a "big knife guy" or a machete guy. Not my type of forest or gear.
Even watching the excellent videos now on You tube of people working in SE Asia and the Amazon basin has not budged me much, they are not in the eastern hardwood forests.
But I do love a good knife even if it is as long as your leg, so I decided to do some upgrades on one of my machetes the other day. First I had to find it!
I found one in the tool shed, not the right one, keep looking. Found another one in the other tool shed. Then another in the bike shed, and two more in the workshop. There was one in the tool bucket in the utility room and another under the sofa. I finally found the one I was after under the seat of the truck.
If I am not a machete guy why do I own 7 of the blasted things?
They are not the cheap Walmart or Harbor Freight junk either, they are all the Brazilian and Central American made blades. Good steel that rings when you tap it.
I have now decided to make a set of wind chimes and hang them all on the back porch.
