Thread: Machete

I see blade master has a few genuine looking parang. Pretty expensive compared to getting one in Borneo but if there built the same it will last you a lifetime.

Find a truck spring, make one of these.

I had a gerber, my lemon tree killed it.
Heaps of wavy dents in the cutting edge, at first I thought the young fulla had done it, beat it straight again and back into the lemon tree. It was rooted again in no time.

Australian sugar cane knife... brilliant.. heavier at the head so carries a bit of inertia for the heavier foliage.

I got one and love it.
