Do you know where to buy one of these in the BR area. I cryo processed a Gerber that is a lot like this one and was able to shave with the entire blade. I think this SOG might do better and $33 is not a bad price.
I too would like a well made machette that doesn't rust. The 13" SOG looks great, but I'd like to see one in person... The cold steel looks just like the ones in walmart. I don't see the advantage.
Made in China turns me off too but I haven't found a decent American made alternative.
