Hello all,
Here is a machete design that could be considered pretty refined for use with titanium alloys. This is the largest one so far using the snub-nosed shape, which will be made even larger and fully-hilted as an advanced titanium alloy sword that makes acute use of ti's character.
Here is a video of the making of this machete:

Thanks for looking!
Next to an older blade:
The older chopper (bottom) weighs 12 ounces, while the new one weighs 9 ounces and easily cuts much deeper. OAL of the new one pictured on top is about 24"
