I'm very surprised there is no subforum on machetes here at Bladeforums. I was wanting to post up a deal/steal for some great machetes. I know there is probably no love for where I bought these, but it's almost too good a deal to be true.
Recently bought 6 Imacasa machetes for a total of $30.97 shipped to my door. Two 14", two 18" and two 22". These were all buy one get one free deals. The 14" were $7.99 for two, the 18" were $9.99 for two and the 22" were $12.99 for two. I purchased the poly handles, but the wood handled ones are the same price and also on buy one get one free. Got them from BudK with their free shipping deal. They arrived in 4 days, so the shipping was fast. They actually have the 14" at $2.98 for one, I hadn't seen that when I ordered so I actually could have saved another couple bucks. For this kind of money, it's almost too good a deal to pass up.
I also purchased a Gavilan "sugar cane" knife, that is very similar to a Woodsman's Pal a while back for $9.99, which is also a very useful machete. The hook on top is very useful for clearing the brush out of the way after you cut it.
I also have two Ontario machetes, one is vintage and one is new, both are 18". Have three cheapo machetes that are of the "imported" variety that are pretty much junk that I wish I would have never bought, especially since this Imacasa deal came out. Those crap chinese machetes were more than the Imacasas.
So in conclusion, if you are in the market for a high quality machete for a super low price, get em' while you can.
