managed to get a US made 5160 machete with micarta scales for under $50 shipped.
Excitdd to try it out!
geez, CKW slacking with this order. Should be here tomorrow. Excited to try it out. I've always used $25 and cheaper machetes. Figured this would be a good step up before trying to track down an LT Wright or Fiddleback Forge machete for $200.

I've looked at them. The price seems high for aluminum handles. I'd like to know what you think when it arrives
Will do sir, though to be fair on the aluminum scales note, similar priced knives usually run G-10 from what I see from my own browsing. Either way I’m not too picky personally when it comes to materials as long as the fit and finish reflects the price.

Was disappointed there weren't any good videos of the Spartan Harsey Folder for the 2025 Angel edition. Did a search just now and this came up. Check out his other videos too.

That is one fancy looking knife right there! Awesome artwork.

What's amazing is, in the not too distant future you will probably be able to interface one of the A.I. art programs to a laser etching machine and create just as detailed images on your own Ti frame knives. Preview it all and hit print.

I’m happy with the quality and feel of it, well worth the price I paid.

Ordered another for $43. Ridiculous deal.
Also have a marbles cutlass machete coming. Probably the most fun for your dollar in the cutlery world ($9!).
Oh wow, vivi Please review that Marbles Cutlass Machete for us, once you get it. Interestingly, some of their more current knives I have have decent quality for that price but others do not.
