Unless something changed with the new batch, they're 1075. 12" are 3mm thick, 16" are 2.2mm thick.

Just wondering as these don't have the Bullseye lanyard hole like the other production ones. I thought I read some where that these were going to go on to the production line.

From the recent Behind the Scene's thread:

Flared tubing works essentially like a rivet. In this case we are using 1/4"-diameter stainless steel tubing. A length of tubing is inserted through each chamfered hole in the scale/blade set, and both ends of the tube are flared simultaneously by pressing between two dies in an arbor press. It gives a solid, tight, and permanent mechanical joint.

The new batch of machetes uses machined micarta scales similar to those of our production knives. We initially experimented with three machine screws, plus a single flared tube on the lanyard hole of the machete. Based on initial feedback on the photos of that configuration, we have switched to four flared tubes to attach the scales.

The new machetes no longer have the bullseye.

We are no longer attaching the scales the same way as our Handmades. We have the scales made and attach them via flared tubing. It is a much faster method that allows us to fit them into our production schedule of our Handmades.
