Up for your consideration is my spine on a kukri style machete!
Blade is 80CRV2 brut de forge with a black stonewash finish and has a subtle hollow grind.
Handle consists of desert iron wood (from Greenberg Woods Greenberg Woods ), double red canvas micarta and black linin micarta. pins are bronze, it's got a brass lanyard tube, with brass and copper mosaic center pin.
This blade is very thin behind the edge and was designed to be used for ripping right through brush, saplings and for light chopping and batoning!

Other specs,
Blade hardness: Edge 61-62, With softened spine for additional toughness
Blade Length: 11.8"
Handle Length: 5.1"
Overall Length: 16.9"
Blade Thickness: 0.2"
Weight: 15.5 OZ
The tang has been tapered with lightening holes and has been fullered for wait and balance.
Includes hand made black leather sheath and padded zipper pouch.

Price is $548 including free conus shipping!
Questions and comments welcome!
Thanks for looking!!
