Just got this one back from the Challenge:http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=693840&page=10

Got it cleaned up and retouched the edge. Some Kydex marks but no damage from the beatings
I have named this one the Oregon Machete as it suits my needs for getting by in the NW forests. Not a lightweight machete to be sure but it won't drag ya down either. It is made from 1/4in thick 5160 and is 18 1/2in overall with a 12 7/8in blade tip to handle. Scales are OD Green G10 with red G10 liners. Stainless steel tubes and epoxy was used to fasten the scales to the tang. Comes with a Kydex sheath. Price for this ready and willing beasty is $400***SOLD*** shipped in the US (USPS mo or Paypal).

As you stated and to my amazement it's completely undamaged and looks practically new! Testament to your solid work!
