How many of you guys use a machete for woods work - hacking vines, trails, killing venomous flying rattleheadedcoppermoccasins, slicing apples for your grandchild?
If so, which do you like and use/

If our pole saw breaks, we just return it to Lowe's and say it was defective. I've heard this was possible.

I have an old one my grandfather had made from a leaf spring of an old farm truck. Needs a new handle now so it is not in use. Had a little billhook built into it that was sharpened also, great for grabbing vines and cutting by pulling when you couldn't slash.
I keep a basic cheap Gerber machete in the truck.
I really want a Kukuri or Barong style in a really good steel. Think they are cool.

Whatever suits you just tickles me plum to death.
Can I refill your eggnog for you? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?

IMACASA 15 INCH HOOKED CANE KNIFE/MACHETE. Use one and you'll never go back to a regular machete.

Keep one in my truck. Gets used a lot.
Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.
My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

Several machetes of various sizes and configurations here at the house, and a Trucker's Friend in my truck.

I've got one that has a hook on the end, and tapers our to a very wide blade the closer to the end it gets. Don't know who made it, it's old. When it's sharp, I can clear out lanes in a hurry. That sounds like a cane knife
