Over 60 years UKS Rocky mountains, desert SW, and Virginia woodland... and central Texas... this is the best I've seen, and the least expensive. Carry on! PS I am prejudiced favorably by your accent!
Great video, thanks! But I created a lanyard hole into my machete. And I did buy a second machete, and I transformed it (with size reduction) a big buschcraft knife (a bit bowie-like).
Here in Brazil a tramontina machete can be found for only 25 reais that should give you about 5 dollars, that is to say an excellent price for a great performance, I loved the video congratulations
looks good, just ordered one to replace my martindale. I am a self employed gardener and needed something to make slashing cuts on bushes, love what you did with the fire steel notch, think I will do that to mine. did you form the sheath in the oven?, I think I will need to make one for mine. All the best from the west country.
You won’t be disappointed with the blade. With a couple of mods done to it you will have a knife that is a workhorse that will work all day and is cheap into the bargain 👍
Approximately m8. Give or take a bit. To get it the right size for myself biomechically if there is such a word. It should be from your fingers tips to the crook of your elbow. I have found this measurement to be the best for my large camp knives and machetes. Anything over this measurement the blades start to become unwieldy in hand when in hard use.

That’s a bargain for such a versatile tool. ATB from 🏴👍🔪
Do you know a company that would ship machetes to europe? I would like to order some.
I would try Hennie.Com. I think they ship world wide m8. Let me know if you have any trouble getting your machete
Its amazing what you can do with a tramontina to transform it from a barebones machete to something unique.
How true. Fantastic blade that does it all with a few mods done to it

Which one of the Tramontina machete is it a bolo or 18in which one is it
It’s the 14in bolo machetes m8
Easy Going Outdoors E.G.O you said you cut two inches from it became a 12 inch??

The original over all blade length was 50.2cm and the blade length was 36.8cm
Was a 14" bolo but he reduced it by 2" with a straight cut so it is shaped more like a cane machete. I think I'm going to do this too.
The Brazilians know how to make a blade.
The certainly do m8. The tramontina is one of my all time favourite blades
