1. Found about an 8 year old thread about NOS USA-made Collins machetes on another site. Found the store and they still have some! I just received an 18 inch # 1077 bolo and a 20 inch #1068, which is sort of a clipped-tip panga. Mine came with the paper stickers, though one had come loose from age.

$25 each plus a bit of shipping. Not bad considering they must be 50 years old. Collins went out of business in 1966.

They are a bit crude but solid and fairly thick. Get 'em while you can if you have a hankering for a Collins.
