Nice machete collection. Which one is your favorite for general purpose tasks around the farm? I have a 19.5" tapanga style machete, which is good for heavy duty use, but too heavy and large for general purpose. I'm thinking of getting a 14" for more basic use.

Thanks for passing along. I just picked up a Bellota machete in
Colombia. Made in Colombia. Still Trying it out, but no complaints
so far.


I have many Corona-brand garden tools, made by Bellota for the American market. They are as good as any I have ever used and very heavy duty,
probably the same Bellota tools marketed in the EU and elsewhere.

Austrian Scythes are becoming popular in the US and though the blades are imported there are a few new companies making exceptionally good traditional lightweight Austrian wooden snaths.
