Get It Sharpened - $5 to $35

We are the best when it comes to hand sharpening machetes to suit our harsh Aussie conditions.

The Gaucho Plus is our suggestion for a universal sharpening that will outperform any edge you can buy off the shelf. Add in the $5 CardScraper edge on the spine if you're a camper.

The S5 ~ Handle Shape & Seal - $35 to $40
