    But without this machete I wouldn't be able to kill any Parangs number 1.

    BenKat I think parang is the sound it makes as it cleaves a skull.

    Gerber? So it's a machete for infants? Hopefully they'll have a combo sale with the tactical assault diaper bag today.

    The $4 HF machete is more of a wall ornament than a tool.

    Ok Dave, I got one for our club. I figured if we lay down too thick of a toilet paper job and need to get away fast, we can use one of these to hack our way out back to our bicycles for a quick get away... Intel states that Ragman's M*om is known for chasing kids off their property with a frying pan...

    Dave_C, you may have a point. My girlfriend says my parang is more of a wall ornament than a tool. Maybe it's because my parang is so big. It also never needs sharpening, although it does benefit from a good buffing now and then. In fact, without a good buffing, I find myself becoming less sharp.
    I think I'll go buff my parang right now.

    If you throw this machete, it'll boomerang back to you.

    But this matches the Gerber Bear Folding Sheath & Compact Survival which doesn't actually have a sheath and the compact survival is a folded up piece of paper with a few survival tips on it. $8.99 + free shipping today at Meritline:

    They should make a machete that's sort of like a cross between a switchblade and a massive compound bow... Ahead of time you c0ck the spring in it, then once it's armed you just waltz up to a tree, press a button and the blade wacks the tree down (or you land on your doughnut, whichever comes first).

    Cool idea Dave. How about a chain saw with swinging machete blades on it...

    I wonder if that has already been done in the Saw movie series.
