A bit miffed....

Hi Everybody

Not sure if you are aware, but some of Cold Steel's cheapo machetes are produced in South Africa by a company called Lasher.
No problem with that, been using Lasher tools in the garden for years.....

I did however recently buy a CS Kukri Machete for N$450 of my local monopoly money.

I really did not appreciate seeing that same machete sans sheath in a local hardware store for N$88 

That means N$360 wasted on a sheath and plastic packaging that nobody needs 

Only good news is I can now afford to buy another (as well as one of the other style/shape machetes) and cut off the handle (=one big hotspot for me) and see if I can fit something else.

I remember Lasher! That's a big jump for a brand name
