What is your favorite machete?

I highly recommend a cane knife by Imacasa or Tremontina. I've never figured out a reason for a point on a machete, and a cane knife is just the right weight and balance for cutting brush, vines and saplings. I've made believers out of a lot of folks when they try them side by side. A two-handed cane knife is a wonderful tool, too, just don't get one with too thick a blade. Used correctly, a cane knife will out-cut a machete every time, it's just not made for heavy hacking, where you should be using a hatchet or camp axe (or chain saw) anyhow.

I've used military spec machetes for about 40 years and like the British design best that does not have a pointed blade. I absolutely hate the Cold Steel Kukri because it was very uncomfortable for long periods of use in my large hands. In my opinion it's cheap junk. Thanks for the tip Country Road; I'll try a cane knife.
