Not sure what rock I have been living under, but I just discovered the Tramotina Bolo Machete. I have a nasty yard with blackberries, ivy, and holly that needs constant attention. I have had a no-name machete for years and assumed they were all similar. Somehow I got wind of Tramotina from Brazil. Bought the Bolo as I thought it would be a nice size to clean up Dirtbike trails. Sharpened that sucker up, sanded the handle a touch and WOW! I hacked up a ton of holly just now - including the Mothership that was 3" in diameter.
Thought you all might want a heads up on a cheap and stupidly effective tool.
