Chuck, I would like to be on the 24" machete list, too.
Where do I send the money?

My choice is based on the fact that a machete is a common working tool in Mexico and all points South. I've been using heavy, medium length models from Brazil that sharpen and hold a good edge and sell for about $4.00 at the local surplus store. I always add a bright orange handle wrap so I can find them. Also not a bad security weapon for a lady real estate agent showing rural property alone...Glen

I would do a 24" too if your list isn't now too long and would be willing to pay an "annoyance" fee.

I also want to hear how it went, getting it through customs.... ;-)
