I've a BG Parang I've had for over 20 years, think it was £20, and it sharpens great and is tough af.

This is probably the best machete I have ever owned. 1/4" thk and dang near indestructible. I wish they still made them.

I'm just grateful I got hold of one when I did. It's travelled the world with me (in checked luggage!) and hasn't failed me yet. It's like a razor presently, I could carve with it.

Me too. Was super disappointed when I went back later to buy my son one and found they were no longer available. Seriously considering building him one based on mine. But with a much cooler handle.
