Just wanted to drop $0.02 into the pot.
I have 2 cold steel bolo machetes, 1 of which I have had for years and beaten the crap out of.
I have used the one machete for around 8 years and have done some major backcountry traveling.
It has been beaten up and still works great. You can sharpen them on a rock in the field too (done it).
At <$20, they are a steal too!

I have to agree with you. I have a few myself including the two handed model and they work great. They are easy to sharpen and have multiple uses.

Thanks for the advice, I'll have to look in to them!
