    I used one during field survival and loved using it.

    I use one on the regular. It works well, not much else to say about it.

    Machetes are working knives and fixed blades are cool knives

    The people loving the machete are out in the field cuttin' stuff instead of sitting in front of a computer. :D It's a great machete.

    In all honesty there is nothing pretty to take a picture of or "tactical" about our machete. That's one of my favorite things about it.

    The Esee lite machete is a slicer. That's all I'm saying.

    its my most used blade. But your right....its not widely documented here.....its just a good all round user.

    probably 75% of woods/camping/wilderness knife use is with my esee lite machete.

    It's defiantly a great slicer. I don't usually carry it at work or to the grocery store butworks great on camping trips. In fact I am bringing it for our Easter trip. I like the handle a lot.

    I'm fairly certain Jefe does nothing but go on vacation on all the money we spend on knives. :D But I bet we could get Pat to have a go at your requests if we can scrape up enough change for a case of beer.
