Tramontina machete(s)

[-Switch-]

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good Tramontina stockist in the uk?

I'm after a couple of their machetes but I've had a bit of a play with Google and can't find a uk stockist that sells the ones I'm looking for


I'll see if I can get a pic of the ones I mean...


EDIT: found some pics.

This 22'' with rubber handle:

and this shorter one (18'') but also with the black rubberised handle rather than wood:

Sorry Humpback, thanks for finding that for me but I forgot to say anywhere but ebay.

I bought one, like in the ebay link from an Army Surplus shop in Luton about 8 years ago. Not sure if they still do them but it may be worth giving them a call:

Hi Switch,

not either of the models you've pictured, so don't know if it's any good to you but you could try here.......

they seem to stock a Tramontina and the price is pretty good too.


Have delt with them in the past and the service was first class.

Another thumbs up for bacons dozen. I bought my Mora Clipper and Tramontina machete from them along with other bits and bobs at other times. They are a good company to deal with plus the prices are pretty keen as well. £6 for the Clipper (red one with black grip), you'd do well to find it cheaper elsewhere.

You sir, are a very kind gentleman.

Why is there no rep system on this site anymore?

Hi switch how can I ask why you've not considered a martindale they have a wide range to suit all situations and are very good quality used the world over

Of course you can ask

The reason I've not considered a Martindale is because I am not looking for a Martindale, but am looking specifically for the 2 types of Tramontina featured in the pictures in the first post.



Oh, and I have a No.2 golok already.

Not yet mate, still looking.

Bardster's shown me a very good site for machete's though; I think it's called 'shop4less' or something like that.
I'll try to get the link he gave me...
