Awesome machete. I have a normal one, and I just bought that new carnivore from wally world looks deadly! haven't tested functionality but I have my hopes set high. As far as the sharpeners go, I bought mine at the gun show, and the guy sharpened my knife with it and cut that paper like that so theres no gimmick, Its definatly awesome! Anyone who hasent seen the video should definatly take a look. here it is one more time http://theblocksharpener.com/ I didn't get a chance to check the map, but its your domain, you know the area Im following you.
