IN A RECENT ARTICLE APPEARING IN BLADE MAGAZINE DATED NOV 2008, THEIR APPEARED A
VERY INTERESTING ARTICLE TITLED "BIG, BAD BUSH KNIVES"

THE ASSOCIATE EDITOR BRENDAN O'BRIEN SAID THE FOLLOWING:
"ARMAGEDDON FROM TOPS AND TRACE"...WHILE I DON'T CONSIDER THE ARMAGEDDON A TRUE MACHETE
IT CAN SERVE AS ONE, SAYS TRACE RINALDI, DESIGNER OF THE ARMAGEDDON FROM TOPS KNIVES
THE IDEA WAS A CROSS BETWEEN A MACHETE AND A LARGE CAMP OR CHOPPING KNIFE. MOST
MACHETES ARE MADE FROM THIN STOCK AND NOT INTENDED TO CUT THINGS MUCH THICKER THAN VINES AND FOLIAGE. THE ARMAGEDDON IS 1/4" THICK BUT WITH THE FULL-FLAT -GROUND-RECURVE BLADE, IT WILL DO MOST CHORES AS WELL AS OTHER HEAVIER TASKS LIKE CHOPPING WOOD OR BUILDING A SHELTER.
