OH MAN. MUST HAVE!!!!!!!!!!!

Man, if I were made of money, I'd take one of each....but I think the 12" and 18" are still calling to me :)
 
No signing up yet. I'll start a list when we get them in though.

Oh my. If I had to choose one (not bloody likely) this would be it. Are you SURE there isn't a sign up list yet? ;)

Can't wait.
 
No need for a signup at all. Once we get them in I plan to do a push and just have them in stock. I ordered 600 blanks.
 
DAMN! I thought I was going to want the 18"...but that 16" just took the top spot on my list! That's AWESOME! :thumbup::eek::thumbup:
 
Pics or it never happened! :) By the way, I've been using my Fiddleback-modded machete quite a bit lately - looking forward to these!!

Same on all accounts. By the way, my Fiddleback/Collins 323 fits perfectly in a CS Latin machete sheath. :)
 
I knew I was right about the 16"er! All of them look badass, but I'm definitely still in the 16" fan club since page 1 :P

Too bad I don't have any need for a machete, or the cash to throw at one :(

Also, 600!? Dear lord!
 
Man, they look good. Some troubles to address, but nothing serious IMO.

Yea, the shipping is expensive, so a larger order keeps the cost per blade down. 600 is what I could swing with my taxes...
 
Dylside, Halfserrated and myself did a bit of quick testing on one of the samples yesterday. Just wrapped the handle with duct tape, and put a quick edge on it. The edge held well, it was batonned with a stick and with a rock. Also bent the hell out of it and it snapped right back into place.

12" er. This knife is going to be so cool.

That 12 is so nice! Can I get one with cocobolo on it?! :) For my Sunday-go-to-meetin' rig. And a burlap micarta version, for the hog hunting rig!

Dylan, are you going to be able to do kydex for that one?

Cocobolo will be an option. Yes sir.
