Leuku a little over 1/8"
 
The Jarvenpaa Leuku is a nice one.

KGD, a bit of flex is a good thing unless you are prybarring :D

Barberphobic: I'm making more, this one is going to go up once I finish file work and get Sierra on the sheath.

tonym: I'm gonna make more. I find I like the long clip point with the thumb ramp a lot.

I'm glad we got a lot of pictures on the thread, that's what I was hoping for. That brush hook mod was cool.
 
Forgive the little guy in there:

I have one of the old Becker Khukri's thats pretty thin and is a cutting machine.

Illbruche I sent you a message on your farmer.
 
barrabas, thanks for reminding me...

my CS kukri (i think its an LTC) is only 1/8" thick, but its a real chopper. a few weeks ago i took down a 5 inch maple no problem. from start to finish, including limbing, it took about 15 minutes. it almost counts as a machete though since it is pretty long...

sorry, no action pics...

That's not a machete. :D

I wonder where you do draw the line, though. When I get an 11 inch longknife done, as a narrow belly leuku, is it a machete?
 
i think that machete has almost as much to do with materials and price point as it does size.

that's one of the reasons i wondered if a 12" machete made with high quality steel with fine micarta handles could still be called a machete with a price point around 100 bucks...

but yeah i don't know, its all fuzzy...like the difference between a bowie and a fighter...
