Lower price! Last price drop before Christmas.


This is a hand made chopper from an English knife maker. The blade is O1, RC 57-58. There is file work all along the spine of the blade and on the underside of the handle. The weight of the knife is 1 1/4 pounds. The blade is 10" long. OAL is 15". Upon close examination, I found 2 small defects. The handle has 2 solid pins and 2 brass tubes. Both tubes have what appears to be stress cracks. It looks like any easy fix, but I'll let the next owner deal with it. ;) (See the pictures?

Here's the description from the maker.

This is an awesome beast of a machete - yet pretty fancy. At a little over 15 inches overall length and at 2 inches inches deep at its widest point this is a really beautiful machete that will take on just about anything. Spine of the blade is decorated with beautiful file work. The cutting edge is hollow ground and has a beautiful satin finish and is razor sharp. It is hand forged and made from 4mm 01 carbon tool steel, RC57-58. The handles are made from English walnut and have a brass lanyard tube. Comes with heavy duty leather sheath, with belt hoop.

WOW! Only$125 :eek: shipped in USA only. Payment by certified funds.:(

Yeah, I know, everyone wants to trade. :rolleyes: About the only thing that I would be interested in would be a Koster bushcraft in 3V.
