You might want to consider the himalayan imports knifes, they are the best knifes/khukuris coming out from Nepal.

Take a look also this forum, almost every day they post"deal of the day" for  blems at reduce price:

Mine just arrived in the mail. Wow. This thing is a beast. The steel is thick: 1/2 inch at the base. It's 19" long and weighs 2 pounds. The wood handle is in near perfect condition, and the blade has a nice patina and is greasy from storage. It's actually somewhat sharp.

 

I'm going to order another one as a user, and my cheap Chinese machete is going in the garbage.

Schrade SCHF10

 

Just got this the other day. Definitely a sweet blade.

 

 

If it was made of 1095 Hi-Carbon steel like the SCHF9 I would certainly buy a couple of them.  I really like the looks of the SCHF10, and its nicely balanced and it probably would make a decent blade in a humid area with its stainless material, but I am also not too fond of the curve on the blade which makes it hard to sharpen, especially in the field.  The sheath is OK, but nothing to write home about.   The SCHF26 seems to be the same blade, but with a different grip and a lower price point.

    • I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism.    1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that.    2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar.    3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty.   It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters.    4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events.    This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. 
    • I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
