Thinking about a Southern Grind Machete
Anyone have one of these? Pricey, but I don't need one. I just like cool stuff. I'm interested in some of the downsides if any.

That is a nice looking machete but the price is so over the top it is ridiculous. Every machete I've had over the years has been used like a machete was designed to be uses. They get beat up. I couldn't see spending that kind of money for a bush wacker.

Looks cool. Not my cup of tea but if I wanted a machete I'd go for it. IMO a little short for a machete.
You know you buy too many nice knives when you see a price tag like that and your first thought is, "wow, that's about 300 less than the last 10" knife I thought about" I spent yesterday texting back and forth with the knife maker that has made me a knife and a sword and is doing a pair of knives for me right now. It wasn't until late at night that he realized I slipped another order in for a carry knife. we're driving home, my family, and my youngest daughter who has no knowledge but apparently knows me, starts in. We were talking money, my wife needs a new (new used) car and I was saying we could handle the payment not a problem etc. daughter says yeah, like how you have money for guns mom doesn't know about. I said "I don't do that!" She says, how about all the knives.....crickets..... Kids Buy the machete, chop things. Build unnecessary improvised shelters, trim your hedges like a man. Have fun. Red |

I’ve had a Top’s 230 machete for a couple years, holds an edge really well, American made, and is coated to prevent rust. It is razor sharp and slices through almost inch thick branches with 1 hit. It sells for about $93 on dlttrading right now and about $140 everywhere else.

If money is not an object, go for it. Especially if it's gonna be a wall hanger.
If you're gonna use it, I'd get a couple of lesser expensive (but still quality) ones because it'd be a shame to damage one of those.
