I bought a couple and they look very good for the price, to me any way.
12" $10
18" $12
with sheath for both, they do need to be sharpened though

thinking of getting a couple more of the 12" ones
did not buy the spear point ones but they are same price:

Re: Cold steel is having a sale on barong machetes
Just so you know, the website is NOT run by Cold Steel themselves, the site's prices are usually significantly above those if you call the store themselves. Do your shopping online and then CALL the store to place your order or to get prices.
The actual Cold Steel company site is at: http://www.ltspecpro.com
Although for items on sale, it's probably going to be the same prices, when you shop and compare prices, the difference between the two used to be quite substantial. I'm not sure how and/or if things have changed, but it's worth investigating since it's only a few clicks and some time to compare the two.
The only thing you have to lose is time (and dollars if you're not paying attention).

POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON
A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.
I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad
