Is there underlying hate here for the smatchet??

[Houlahound]

Since 2017 I have mostly lurked because I have nothing to add really. I stumbled on various conversations where people be saying jokes about the smatchet.

Is this a thing here that the smatchet is a joke knife because that would be funny given its fine pedigree.

Anyone know all the measurements of an original OSS smatchet or verified army issue sources??

If my first knife is not made from a file it will be a smatchet.

Leaf pattern profile of original ie exact shape, I would like to aim for same balance point.

I like em. Had a few of the Bokers over the years and they are awesome. Felt it did everything most other big knife do and they feel like little swords.

Never keep em because they end up gathering dust but they are cool in my book!

I'm hoping cold steel stayed true to the original pattern.

It’s probably your cheapest option to model from but it looks like they strayed from the original. Best of luck!

• Blade Thickness: 2.8 mm
• Handle: 5 3/4" Long Polypropylene
• Overall Length: 19 3/4”
• Blade Length: 14"
