An Announcement Regarding the Baryonyx Machete

No lists, just 'cause backorders/preorders cause more anxiety and frustration for everyone involved than it's worth--I've seen it before. But there'll be a decent number in the first run so I think that most of the folks that have been waiting on them will be able to get one. Forum folks will be the first to know, after all! :)

I agree, that's a pretty cool logo.

Looks even better on the steel there.
 
UPDATE:

As of yesterday evening the official order form for the first run has been signed and submitted. :)

Thanks for the kind words, guys! I'm rather fond of the logo, too! :D I think it translated to a stamping very nicely--the beveling of the stamp edges made the teeth really pop!
 
Thanks! IF all goes to schedule than I could have them in time for Christmas. Note the "big if". :D :D :D
 
Good for you man, it's been a long wait. Looks like a beast of a tool. I really like the logo, very cool!
 
Took a few quick videos this morning. :)

Chopping the upper end of a seasoned birch log without any support other than that which may be provided by the hand and thigh. Note that there's a good deal of energy loss when chopping a relatively unsupported piece of wood in this manner since the log is fairly free to pivot and bounce around under the force of the chopping. When cutting unsupported wood with a machete it is paramount to avoid binding since it can be difficult to withdraw a stuck blade--the workpiece will simply want to rotate rather than let go of the blade. The curvature of the belly on the primary edge is well suited for this task, as it facilitates a slight draw-cut (like a pulling slice) which causes the blade to pull through the cut instead of becoming stuck. When repositioning the wood it is sometimes desirable, however, to deliberately allow a gentle bind for manipulation of the workpiece before continuing--just don't get it really jammed in there!

Using the Baryonyx Machete to knock down some vegetation and stemmy growth along a slope. The back hook of the machete works well as a grass hook to quickly crop grasses close to the ground and neatly slice through woody stems. Due to the smaller size of the Baryonyx hook relative to that of a grass hook, a quick and light "scratching" motion is used to nibble through the growth. Use a low, wide stance to prevent strain on the back, and grasp hanks of the grass with the off hand to tension the vegetation and expose the base of the plants before nibbling through with the hook.

Although I am not sure the design is for me it sure looks like it is for you. Good job thinking it through and finding/ making what works best for you & what you need.
 
Thanks guys. Here's another clip I took yesterday.

It's right at the base of the blade, with the mouth facing in the direction of the point. :)
