Machete-BWMLE

[richstag]

Quick pick today with my machete next to the BWMLE. I still can't get over this one.

Awesome.

You did great work on that machete too!

 

[richstag]

Thanks 230. I have taken the machete out for beatings I WILL get a second BWMLE and do the same with it. This is MY KNIFE

What kind of machete is that? Or did you make it?

Duud--- You have to make a knife!
Mine first!

Thanks gents

It is just an Ontario Machete.

 

[Raining]

Got any more pics of it? The finish you put on it looks incredible!

 

[richstag]

Sure, but just remember I like this BWMLE MUCH BETTER than my Ontario

That's sweet. What's the wrapping for?

 

[richstag]

I have big hands so my hand usually ends up on part of that area where the tape is. It is something I have always done with my machetes. It works for me

I guess the best way to describe it is it gives me more room to grip when I need to. When I use machetes all day I found myself chocking up to this area sometimes and decided some tape would make it more comfortable.

Your mods look great. :thumbup:

That edge bevel is really wide. What is the angle of the grind?

 

[richstag]

No idea on the angle I worked on that edge a lot. The pic with the BWMLE is my final finish. I would take it out and put it through abuse and if the edge didn't hold up I would bring it back. That happened twice. Now it has no problems. So, the angle is as close to the edge as possible

Nice looking edges.
