A victory for common sense at last  :ddb:

I Love them myself... My dad spent 2 months in the jungle with them. He still talks of that two months as one of the best, most challenging times he had in the military.

We STILL... have the machete one of them made during that 2 month time in the jungle.

My dad was always talking about how he took a spring off a jeep the first or second day he was with them. THen every time they stopped he would take a rock he picked up someplace along the hike, and sit during the breaks and run that rock across the edge SLOWLY shaping it into the proper machete.
The damn thing is ultra sharp.. neat curve to the blade.
The Gurkha who was sharpening this thing the entire trip, and my dad got on real well, and they taught him a LOT about jungle survival. At the end of the trip he gave the sharpened blade to my dad.

(And yes I joined too)
