My preference is the Brazilian made Tramontina, and yes, it's cheap. A machete is supposed to have soft steel for quickly resharpening in the field with a milbastard file. It's going to roll on the edge and get dull.
That big soft, flexible blade is also going to give your arm less vibration that becomes exausting.
Ontario,ColdSteel, Linder are all to RIGID and tend to fracture with hard impact and wear out the user.
The nicely made brit Martindale crocodile line makes several interesting patterns, but costs to much.
You can find vendors for Tramontinas online.
5,000,000 amazon natives can't be all wrong.
