Hennie Haynes the martindale No2 golok

Thanks mate

Really tempted to try one out! Some of the reviews are off putting though.

no probs matey, it is a good tool, nothing fine or delicate about it, but view it as a base that you buy then tailor it to your tastes

There are cheap copies Made in ? Holland??.

The Martindales are the British army ones.... However The Pre 1966 (As in Ewell) or so ones are much better... Thicker, Longer and better finished...

As fer the So called Army Survival Knife they are in fact Arctic Survival knives.....

I would guess china, lots of super cheap steel and production costs being so unbelievably low, just out of interest where did you chaps buy the copy choppies?

Exactly the same as the first post, must have been a crappy batch.

Now that is very interesting.

I think my bro got it it from www.strikeforcesupplies.co.uk

Have a look at this : ://woodlife.ning.com/video/snapped-my-knifewmv

Mine was given to me Bru, did not buy it will have to type the link into the tube, thanks for the info.

note that the strikeforce blurb says "military STYLE machete" i believe they are made in india and distributed by webtex. i could be wrong.

the biggest giveaway is the size. the issue golok is a few inches longer than the clones, the issue golok does not fit in the bayonet sheath that the copies are sold with. simples.

cheers, and.

Hahahah is there two knives in there?

I was actually meaning that a few breakages don't damn the whole process for me.
