Any special brands to reccomend?

My favourite is the Blackhawk xsf-1 (carbon steel) with partial serration.
Apparently they do one in titanium as well although I've never seen one.

Here's the straight scoop, there is also a picture of a Woodsman's Pal if you're interested. I think anything under 18 inches is not recommended. Most of these machetes are stainless steel and some have a black powder coat over them.

Thanks Guys! I was just looking for a 18 inch or bigger Machete! btw, the black powdeed coating, wad does it do? or is it there just for viewing purpose?

I think this is the Beshara XSF-1 ! I was looking for a Machete! Not a dagger! Any way! thanks! This blade has a unique blade tip!

This is the Woodman's Pal Premium Plus Condura Shealth & Hoing Stone. Is this the one you are talking about Missileer?

Or is it this one? Woodman's Pal Classic Plus Condura Shealth & hoing stone?

Or is it this one?
Woodman's Pal Long Reach, Wood Handle & Cordura Sheath

Have found what you need.
The Extrema Ratio Kl.
Sorry dont have any links but it is a cobalt steel Kukri (more like a giant sirupati cross golok if you ask me) designed for jungle expedition.
If you send me a postal address or PO box no. by Pm i'll post you the info i've got as the web site is not completed yet.

Since most of the better machetes are stainless steel, the powder black coating is for stealth so that a shiny blade won't give a soldiers position away in wartime. I would prefer a serated or sawback for larger limbs.

Extrema Ratio - The Kukri (KS, KL, KH)

The KS, KL, & KH are a series of working blades that have been developed for thick, dense forest and jungle areas. The three blades have been individually developed for different environments and situations. The KS is a camp blade made of heavy duty steel and suited for environments where a smaller blade can help with less dense forestry or the user needs a more compact blade. Each machete is equipped with a half-ridged sheath with a shoulder belt and tactical kit. The ergonomic handle made of Forprene has been developed in conjunction with the Italian Laboratory of Motorial Sciences in Perugia, Italy.

I like the first one on the left! Nice and short! Not too long and not too long! So how much is it?

Actually, there is a giant kukri about four feet long used in a ceremonial beheading of a water buffalo. I believe it takes place in Thailand but I'm not sure of the country.
