It's a nice looking machete, but I think 1095 is too brittle for something that long and thin.

Superb!
This is one of the best blade videos I have ever seen.

Great video , I need a machete for a bush craft expedition and was considering a martindale No 2 Golok type machete.
Do you have any knowledge of this particular machete and would you recommend it?

All I know about the #2 Golok is from what I've read, but that has put it on my short list of machetes to buy while I'm back in the US. The Martindales aren't sold in Brazil and the golok style hasn't caught on there. I did make a golok out of an 18 inch Tramontina, but didn't have much time to test it before I left.

Thanks alot for taking the time to reply , I ordered a british army issue golok today but because they had none in stock after debiting my account they said theyed send me the more expensive martindale commercial model with file sharpener for the same price so im chuffed !

Chris,

I haven`t measured it but it is very steep like a Mora.
