>>1390274Most of the machetes I've owned were that thick. Also, you shouldn't do any levering with those because they will snap off. You also don't take a froe into the woods unless you're building something serious like a shake roof on something. Use a hatchet or axe for general wood processing. A machete or your autism froe are not very good tools for anything other than clearing scrub. If you need to clear scrub then that's great, but they are not for wood processing. They are not good for wood carving or whittling either. I'd rather use a hatchet and a knife for wood processing and carving/whittling respectively.
