Knives Sheathed

Bowie vs. Barong
Two great machetes. One is weighted for maximum speed and agility, the other for more power. I convexed both on a belt sander 80, 240, 400, 600 and made them shaving sharp before this comparison. It made a huge difference in their performance, but on hardwood or a few more 2×4’s, this edge would be quite dull.
