Get something from Condor. El salvadoreans know their machetes. I also like their other blades.

You want a thin blade, a "latin" type machete

Just letting you know, the kukri is a complete meme, you shouldn't get one, it isn't fun to use at all! Not fun, it's even bad as an improvised grill spatula.it can't be used as a compromise between a big batonny chop chop knife and a small hatchet

same as anything from axes to lawnmower blades, find the angle of you bevel, keep to that, "roungh grit/file" until you move the burr from one side to the other maybe two times, then finer and finer until you dont form a burr anymore, congrats, now you have sharpened a gardening tool

My fav store does not have these condors [eastern europe]
they do have:
MIL-tec
Ka-Bar Becker Reinhardt Kukri [bit too expensive]
CRKT Clever girl [lmao]
Gerber gator
Cold steel tactical katana [?]
on picrel this silky yoki caught my attention, I kinda like the shape
This would not be for tropical forest, but, some bushes here are fucking TOUGH and all located in huge lake-by-lake wet terrain, I had problems with them before, while using proffessional gardening tools, no joke

my legit point is a handle. I kinda imagined more rubbery-like grab. Not a plastic one, too fucking slippery. Especially when you are half-swimming-half-walking. I had this problem before and I used military tape on this to grab better, but damn, I don't want to do this every single time

Was he Nepalese? You can find antiques and current production military kukris for around the same price or even cheaper than the Condor kukri.

oh lol nope,
no he was literally Polish, he had a whole collection looking like that, hand-carved. Different shapes etc, one looking like modified serbian carpenter-knife [https://www.google.com/search?q=serbian+carpenter+knife], he also had many cool swiss ones. but yeah I remember something similar, just handle was you know, hand-made so less perfect. I guess I would pay a thousands these days for such amazing handcraft. I also like the size, right what I need, I do not want it to be too long/big. And this lil' curved shape. I love this.

Kukris are great for chopping and splitting wood. Too heavy thick and short for brush though.

I use sandpaper, start with a 180, work up to 4 or 600.

This is how retardedly thicc the HD Kukri is.
Even when freshly sharpened, I just smashed through most things rather then cut or slice, I would definitely get something thinner unless you wanna use it more like and axe, and then I would just recommend getting an axe

Iirc for thick European brush billhooks (or as they're called in Switzerland, "Gertel") like that Silky are generally preferable.

oh definitely, that is what they are made for, hedges, woody stem vegetation, that is why "true" machetes are mostly tropical thing (south america, africa, india asia)
there is a reason axes are more used the further north you go, good luck cutting frozen wood with a thin flexible piece of leaf spring metal

Silky makes a sweet looking billhook. Probably great quality and very sharp.

I chopped an entire bush with it. The blade does get blunt but the leverage together with the way the weight is distributed is nice.

not all of us live in the dessert, you know those things called "plants"? we have a lot of them round here, the billhook shape enables you to cut right down to the ground without damage
