Not sure how a machete'd Gladius would work

Well, think less machete and more straight up fucking sword. It was sold as a "machete" for specific reasons and I call it a machete, for specific reasons.

Here it is my brother. I'll post about it someday.

Oakleys for size perspective.

Nicely weighted, sharp as fuck and black which assists when used in night operations.Not a true gladuis of course, but good enough for the G-dog. He takes his edged weapons tools seriously.

Jesus, I didn't realise its legal to own a sword! I mean, erm, "machete". It looks I might want to warn Bruce's cousins the next time he tries tossing G-Dog. Looks like you could slice a Roo or two :-|

Machetes are used here in the same way as they are elsewhere, for clearing foliage, and they're readily available. A good tool to have when one has stuff to cut down, coconuts to open etc. 🙂

Given how much you travel into the brush, having a machete would no doubt be rather helpful. Alternatively, if one wishes to tempt fate with death, then a machete could also be helpful in cutting open a durian.

none of my machetes would get anywhere near a durian...They have more sense than to bite into the flesh of that stinky bastard fruit.

Lol, any machete that comes into contact with a durian should be responsibly discarded as a biohazard. We don't want the taint of a durian to ruin our noses.
