We have developed a way to make the Machetes more readily available going forward. We have a new method of attaching the scales. This will allow us to fit them into our production schedule more often.

More to follow as time permits………………...Off to the shop.

I hope you find something that interests you!



p.s.
sorry some of the pics are blurry. Im having trouble making to proper adjustments on the camera. Going back and forth between the photo booth & natural light or lack there of sometimes in the shop is proving a bit difficult for me.
bear with me please



 
Sweet curly q! Would love to see it in the fray.

Do you make the q's out of the tang of the blade, or are they welded on? Is it heat treated steel?

Beautiful koa or walnut that Allen is using.

Thank you,
