It's time to bump this one back up front.

I've been very pleased with the continued service of the Diafold diamond tools, lately with my machete that I've been trying out where I would normally used an axe or saw.

I'm going to get some pics to post here on how I sharpen the machete because there might be a few guys who still use one of these around here.

The only problem with hitting limbs real hard that are overhead is that if the machete cuts clear thru on the first hit the blade may rotate past the "grip range" and come out of the holding hand and stick in something that we don't want it to.
That sucker has come out of my hands three times in the past couple weeks. The last time left a slight mark. At least it was sharp!
