Re: Easiest Way To Sharpen A Machete

I've used it for ceremonies, not much else. It's not wide like a machete, it is longer and is curved like a Samari, but is from the middle east. :jalapenonaner:

Re: Easiest Way To Sharpen A Machete

A Mamaluke sword slices better than a machete, and is very flexible, I've just never tried it on a banana pseudostem. :-) !!! I find a curved saw works very well, on bananas.

Re: SH 3640 bunch just too darn big!!!

Good afternoon Mark,
