Esee Machete Inbound

Ashley · **on:** March 06, 2012, 07:27:19 AM

Anyone on here own one? If so show it to hold me over until my arrives.

No one has a machete? I hope to have this by the weekend as my buddy and I are suppose to go hiking if all goes as planned. Were headed to hike a natural spring on one of my grandpa's pastures at the farm. We will hopefully make it a good ways up but its straight up hill basically. Maybe we can ride a cow to the top.

Not an Esee, but my current favorite machete is this one.

I know you don't care for Cold Steel, but for $20 this is perhaps one of the best bang for the bucks in the knife industry. The look on people's faces when they see this thing is more than enough reason to have one.

Its a good job Ash didn't want pictures of axes

nuphoria · **Reply #6 on:** March 08, 2012, 01:10:50 AM

We're a two billhook family, but no proper machetes!

Looking forward to seeing yours though

Hows the 'ladies' billhook working out for you Chrissy?

Gareth · **Reply #8 on:** March 08, 2012, 01:36:10 AM

No machete, but I do love my billhook.

Ashley · **Reply #9 on:** March 08, 2012, 03:13:10 AM

Might as well show us your axes as well Sparky.

Don't know but here is a chopper I just got. I have since cleaned it up and polished edge a little. I know, I know how lame its a chopper.

Photo is what it looked like when I traded for it.

I have had one of those silverlines before. I ended up cutting it up for the steel.

AimlessWanderer · **Reply #12 on:** March 08, 2012, 09:21:46 AM

I have a 20" machette ... somewhere

It comes in a plastic sheath with a built in sharpener. I think it was marketed as Dutch Army or something when I got it. The blade is fine and has been put through some tough challenges. I've even "found" lumps of concrete and steel etc at full swing in some scrub land I was clearing, and after a few flicks with a file it was good to go again.

I still want to get my paws on a Chris Caine Survival Tool though. I know they're a bit pricey but I like the fact they're made less than 5 miles from me at Scorpion Knives ... and what I've seen of them so far (not in the flesh yet) they work extremely well.

I will see if I can get it done for the Meet

Do it Al, Get one

No big choppers here but got the axe that tony kindly sent me so it will cut a few zombies heads off

Farmman · **Reply #16 on:** March 08, 2012, 10:54:53 AM

Old pic. Think it is the same manufacture as the one tony has posted.

Sparky415 · **Reply #17 on:** March 08, 2012, 11:09:02 AM

Yours is a posh Tramontina Brazilian Machete

mines a no named one

Farmman · **Reply #18 on:** March 08, 2012, 11:22:44 AM

Funny thing is it was the same price as the silverline. A small shop that I go to quite frequently as they have lots of second hand tools. As they keep the big blades out back you pay your money and take you chance.

Trust me grant, against the silverline ones it is posh.

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #21 on:** March 08, 2012, 01:14:07 PM

I have no doubt, I just like the term. Like a Posh Kia or Rugged Glassware.

ORANGE Ashley.., and a Down Under bowie..

Orange is good, this means its hard to lose under a pile of branches

Yep the silverline were about three or four quid each (I just had to get a few to play with

)

Not seen much use recently, but there's an allotment which needs taming down the road!

Didnt even realize ESEE sold a regular machete. It says on the site blade from el salvador. I wonder if its a condor blade, they make a crazy amount of machetes of good quality.
