They start at a round $20 here and go to around $35, everything cost more here. Won't break the bank, but kind of an expensive wall hanger.
I like my knives also, my collection is small but quality. Some I've had for near fifty years.
Thought I'd get a Tramotina 24" brush machete and a Bolo, maybe re-gift the two I have now.
Maybe use the Tramotina as a template and cut a couple from some really nice stainless flat stock I have. And add some extended handles, try them and see if they work. This chunck of stainless I have is something special, 440 will not scratch it, but it is springy.
