It's patterned after my late grandfather's machete. It's gonna be 20 inches overall, 14 inch blade, 5160 steel, and its gonna be thick too... Dan said around .265 or .274:thumbup: CAN'T WAIT:D

Cool! I always look forward to seeing Dan's interpretation of any given design. This should be very interesting.
 
Looks like its gonna be a sweet knife. Make sure to post pics of it when you get it.
 
Only thing I would be concerned about is the lack of a guard.Maybe put a wider ricaso on it to make a guard.
 
Nice. You picked a great maker to do it too.
