Hey ya'll,

here's a machete that was sort of a commission which the buyer decided to go a different way with, so its here for sale to all you fine folk.
The edge looks a little strange in the pictures because of the setting sun casting reflections..

Blade length is just a hair over 16"
Thickness tapers some to the point, but starts at the handle as 3/16"
The blade width at the base is 17/16 and at the swell towards the tip (widest part) 1 11/16"
the first 9" of the spine is sharpened to a right angle for scraping, and the upper 14" or so of the blade is ground to a convex edge sharp enough to pop hair off your arm..
The handle is black g10 epoxied, and held in place by two stainless tube pins..

Price
Sold230$, another 70$ will get you a full length leather sheath similar to the one in the link below.

Too everyone who has me doing work for them, this machete was a product of saving my sanity from the load of hammers I've had ordered..

I'm jammin on putting together the few sheaths I need to and my commissions, so the wait shouldn't be too much longer :)
 
hehe, thanks.. it certainly does its job :) I turned a 1.5" willow trunk into a spear, cut it into 4 sections, turned each one into a square.. and it was still sharp enough to cut hair easily :)

5160 is cool stuff
 
Thanks Kenon!

To everyone else, I'll make sure to post reviews of Kenon's products on the forum, somewhere, and perhaps put a link to it in this thread if the mods allow it.
