Pics. I had to use whatever micarta I had in 3/8", so there is maroon linen, green linen, and nat canvas. I've ordered a sheet of nat canvas, and that will be standard going forward. The handle is filed to shape now. Couldn't resist. It is left at 80 grit. They really came alive at 3/8" thick scales.

These are still a bit rough. The 80 grit part comes tomorrow. Ran out of time today.

E-mail me if they're yours to arrange payment and shipping 411.

Looking good!
 
Wait till they're my own design!

A driving force behind this project from its inception in phone calls between Joe and I has been keeping the cost down!!! By buying my own blades. I'll be getting the blades for 75% less than these I'm getting now!! I'm passing that savings directly to y'all. It'll also save me time and therefore $ because I won't have to cut off handles, reshape blades, etc. I haven't gotten the final #'s yet, but I can tell you that these machete's won't be $175, they aren't even going to break the $100 line.

I'm pretty excited about the cost part. That would definitely keep it in the 'using' category.
 
Andy,

How are you coming along on these? Any chance there will be some more in the future?

I've got three knives in autocad now. These'll have all the way Fiddleback handles. I'm excited.

Wait a minute!:eek: All the way Fiddleback handles?? My nice, new Fiddleback/Collins machete just has a part-way Fiddleback handle?:confused:

OK ... when you start the next list, put me down!:D
