Get your local garage guy to make you a panga or bolo machette out of an old piece of leaf spring from something like an old transit van, You wont be disappointed.

Forgot to mention the best one I had was made by a REME guy decades ago using a leaf spring off a series 2A landy, used to dress it with a scrag end of a wet stone and it lasted years, It got nicked by one of my former cadets
