I have been very fortunate to have been given these. When received they were quite rusty, but after some sand paper rubbings, some alcohol wipings, and some vinegar patina, this is what resulted.
 
Now you've got to go out and find some thick jungle! They look good and you cleaned them up nice!
 
Man oh man! Very nice.

No pics at the moment but I am elbow greasing my way through a SAGER Warren double right now. Pitting will remain but removed to something less than an I77 pothole I hope.

Great scores! I was hoping your Collins machete might have been an old Legitimus machete. Those are even nicer.
 
I have that machete as a hand-me-down from my dad. It survived all my abuse as a teenager and is still going strong.
 
What are the dimensions of that Sager? Is that a saddle axe? ~20" handle? Or more like 24"- 28" cruiser handle?
 
Just got home from work and the Lady is asleep, I will try to post dimensions tomorrow morning.
 
I've done so much brush clearing with my machete that the *ping* the blade makes as it cuts is fixed in my memory. Whenever I pick up another machete I tap my fingernails on the blade and see how close it sounds. Most of the new offerings from Gerber and the like tend to go *thunk*.

edit: oh, and the axe looks nice too.
 
Judging by the deck boards in the back ground that must be a cruiser, 27"-28" and a very long machete. Long machetes are great for clearing blackberries. They keep the work well away from you.
