I need a machete for general woods clearing and brush work. Any recommendations?
Looking for something under $60, preferred American made. Is $60 too low for quality? If it is tell me I'll move up in price if it means additional quality.
If you have suggestions for other fixed blades that would do the job and fit the bill feel free to suggest. I have limited bladed tool knowledge so machete is kind of a broad term for large fixed blades in my vocabulary. Just something to hack trails and tall weeds with is really what I'm looking for.
Something that will last me a good number of years. Decided to stop messing around after I've found my $7 Wal-Mart machete can't cut paper. Funny actually, I got one of them about 4 years ago that did a decent job and had a serrated tip. Even the chincy machetes have gotten chincier!
