My dad's old Blackie Collins is finally pretty worn out, and the brush is seriously growing down at the fish/hunt club. I'd like to surprise him with a new machete.
I saw the following at a show, and was wondering if anyone has any experience/thoughts. I know little about blades, but saw "stainless" (it's coated with a black finish) and "made in Solingen" together, and at least know those to be good attributes. Is my little knowledge a dangerous thing, or would this be a pretty good companion?
