Look up Siegle knives on google.

Hi, nice your machete friend, but machetes are of different sizes and models .. I particularly use two, one heavy for tough tasks , and other lightweight tasks lead the way in the rain .. many branches and shrubs cut for several hours should be the light and sharp .. Happy New Year ! Greetings from Paraguay .

@shimono1000 @shimono1000 This is of the more Malaysian style machete, not the common thin 1/8" and less machetes of Central and South America. You will see thicknesses in the indo pacific areas. If you are in paraguay, you are probably using tramontinas of the 24" variety, or Bellota. The most common blade shapes I've seen around that area are the latin style, and a larger clip point style with more of a pronounced belly, called a "Rula"

@jeepzillajoe thats awesome i would like a chance to test them out lucky you. I live in the wetlands of north florida in the Alligator lake area and i use machetes all the time so i would definanly be able to put them through the ropes here with all the invasive plants and vines around here. It am going to be makin my own machete i want about a 13-14" blade and micarta handles. Im guessin bills is your favorite then??
