I have several manufacturer makes of the standard US GI issue machetes made over the years. The cost for these is extremely reasonable and the quality has not diminished significantly even from ones made in the 60s. From what I can tell, the cost cutting operations have been made in the sheaths and sharpener areas. There are also versions with sawbacks on them for wood, bones, etc.
Bang for the buck as a survival type edge weapon, this is high on my list.

Hey!
thanks. I’ll scurry off to an Army surplus store next time I visit a real city. (There isn’t one locally as it would offend the natives.)
