I just found this on Surefire's website.

Our best-in-class flashlights, hands-free lights, and WeaponLights are also designed, machined, tested, and assembled in the U.S., but if even one component of our products is entirely or substantially made abroad, we cannot legally mark it as “Made in the U.S.A.” In today’s competitive global economy, and given our mission of ensuring our best-in-class illumination products continue to stay that way, it’s not possible to source every component from within the U.S. We do import a few components – most notably, the finest light emitting diodes (LEDs) from top-notch manufacturers outside the country – to incorporate into our products. All of that said, we do rely on as many American-made parts and components as possible, and the assembly of these components is done under our watchful eye in the U.S. to ensure optimal quality. SureFire is an American company that employs hundreds of hardworking Americans and proudly serves those who venture into harm’s way. We intend to keep it that way. All SureFire illumination products are designed, perfected, and manufactured in the USA with the finest materials and components sourced worldwide.

Is there a quality USA made machete? I got one a couple years ago from Harbor Freight and though it’s probably been worth what little I paid for it, I doubt it’ll hold up to more than a couple sharpenings. It’s a shade flimsy. Not looking for some war quality tacticool weapon, just a brush clearing, quality metal machete.

Got young kids or grandkids? I can highly recommend Melissa and Doug Toys. Quality toys made in USA. Target carries their toys and I suppose Amazon does too. Lots of toys made of wood!

Ontario. They made many of these, knives and bayonets for the military in WW2 and after.
I prefer the traditional 22" with the orange handle so you can find it easily if you lay it down in the woods. Just cut the handguard part off because it hurts the fingers.

Yes, Ontario machetes are made in the USA. I recommend the 18" model, and you should perform a search on how to reshape the edge to convex. This will increase the cutting performance and it will make for a more durable and longer lasting edge.

If not Ontario, you can keep your purchase on the American continent. Tramontina, in Brazil, makes very inexpensive machetes.

Condor, in El Salvador, makes excellent machetes. Either they are owned by Imacasa, or Imacasa owns Condor, I can't recall. Either way, Imacasa is another choice to keep your purchase on the American continent.

ESEE knives has a relationship with Condor. Almost all ESEE product are made in the USA and they offer a Condor machete they call the Darien Expat. To me, that would be 60 bucks well spent. That's three times the cost of the Ontario, but you're getting a better and more versatile tool IMO.

Oh, and Marbles offers an Imacasa machete under the Marbles brand. This would be another case where some of your money stays in the US and some of it goes to Central America, which is far preferable to giving your money to the ChiCom crooks who spit on the United States every day.

**edit**

Marbles actually offers two Imacasa machetes. I like this one even better: https://www.smkw.com/marbles-s...achete-wooden-handle

That's just about a perfct blade length if you're going to carry it- not too long and not too short.

Guys, thanks for the machete ideas. You know I only bought a house with some land a year ago. I have a ton of brush areas that I run into when riding my ATV. I've brought a brush cutter along with me but that's not easy. I can easily throw a machete in the storage bin and have it when I run into most of this stuff. I'll be picking one of these and ordering soon.
