The 14" Bolo Machete - almost identical to the Tramontina above - was the Australian Army issue Machete during WW2 ... I have one and it is a heavy piece of steel with a blued blade. These are superb tools for the Bush, Jungle and Scrub encountered in the South Pacific regions of Australia and Asian Jungles.
Tramontina has some nice quality materials depite the lack of fit and finish. With the direction your standard American home improvement store has taken with cheap no-name-stainless machetes, I think it says a lot that you can still find Tramontina occasionally in these places. It has definitely made a name of itself despite machetes not having too much of a presence in the US.
After stumbling into Tramontina brand in RUclips, I've looked every major stores in Auckland, New Zealand for this brand of machete but unable any here, I think that people no longer import them into this country. Sometimes in September I will be visiting Hawaii for a week, I wonder if you make delivery via postal service to Hawaii, if I order online through you guys?
This is the blade I extensively used in this video: ruclips.net/video/uaayDImIT0c/видео.html Except for the fit-and-finish, it is one of the best big blades ever made!

MrTHEMANIMAL I've never done that. I'd actually think that the wax would pick up dirt and debris as you are using the blade, thus possibly leading to more damage. I typically use a little bit of blade oil to wipe them down with. If I know I'm going to be storing a blade for awhile I will give it a nice coating of blade oil before putting it in sheath.
MrTHEMANIMAL Hi, I use Camelia oil, it is edible so on can cut foodstuff with ones blades. Used buy the Samurais for their swords and by the women for their hair. Sold either as cooking oil or for beard/hair/skincare. Or get really expensive for Tantos. Warning:You will get softer skin if you use it.

That’s my go to machete it’s cheap and works really good
My grandfather have one that is over 40yrs old, its cuting great, almost lost a finger whe he sliped in the mud.
I have 2 machetes. A Latin style for tall grass and a Tramontina Bolo for thicker vegetation. I keep them both wicked sharp for ease of use.
Thank You For Sharing Your Knowledge !
I have exactly this machete. I like it.
Does it come with a sheath?
I Have a hand forge tramontina bolo but no number on it, can you evaluate the period it was made. The sheath is green and it look old.

I like it but I would prefer a rubber handle to prevent wood breaking.
Is it normal for tramontinas to get play in the blade after a while?
@@Beardman56 I meant like loose

can u show some like cold steel or imacasa
more mass towards the tip makes it slower.
It’s for cutting branches not killing zombies
Just got one of these, anyone ever try car wax i.e. turtle wax on the steel for protection?

Machete Specialists cool thanks! Just put it to work last weekend. With a sharp edge it's been a game changer
