I love these Ontario machete's. They make great fodder for custom knife projects. This time its one for my wife. She handles all cooking duties when we are camping so I thought a Nessy would be appropriate for her.
Here are the pics-










 
Interesting conversion. I never would have thought of using a skateboard deck for the scales.
The finished knife looks great.
 
That is WAAAAYYYY KOOL!!! :thumbup: Super job and use of materials!!! :thumbup: John:)
 
Tobiism,

Way to Go, Bro!

You had me at this...
Just needs scales, would be an awesome pig pickin' chopper.

Nice work!
 
Thanks everyone!!! I'm digging it.
After using it for a bit I had to make some changes to it. I changed the handle/grind transition area to be swoopier and changed the grind closer to the handle since I left the original blade shape. Then I dropped the point an inch to get the point in line with the handle. This is how it will stay now. I am calling this one finished.
Now a leather sheath for mama!
 
Very nice work. From the first picture I though it would be a much larger knife.
I was thinking of a machete mod earlier today.
 
The devils in the details...
Those final mods really give it a more refined look when you compare the pics side by side...very nice!

You are one creative master mind. Excellent

I see a kid standing there in disbelief saying, what happened to my skate board?
