Went to the local knife shop today and picked up an 18" cold steel latin style machete for $17. Brought it home, cut a couple branches (and a couple small pine trees) with just a couple whacks. For some reason, it had me giggling like a little girl. The edge that it came with was horrible. Looks like it was sharpened by my dog or something. This weekend I'll take my diamond stone to it and clean up the edge, and go play with it some more. Then I'll give a better review. So far, I'm happy with it. It wasn't bought for professional use, but for something I can play with around the house, and take camping with me.
