WHOA!!!! Read the FINE print, and find out how thick it is. It says it's a MACHETE!
A bowie machete, but still a machete. So.. it's probably very thin by knife standards.
AND the handle looks REALLY cheap.
 
It was made for Marble's by Imacasa/Condor. Now that Marble's tanked (again) what's left is what's left. :o
 
3mm thick at the rear of the blade

9 1/4" blade

1 7/8" wide

4" rear razor edge

but dude... handle can be modded..and yes it is a machete... sorry i didnt note that.. pict showed a 10" tram that he modded into a bowie and i LOVED it. so..this fits that bill for me :)
 
I've had older short machetes that were around that thickness, it's actually very nice, as the short length, fullers and wide width make the blade nicely stiff.

Handle looks a bit :barf: in shape, but rounded out, would be great.
 
I have one of the 12" Cold Steel Bowie machetes & I love it. I dont think that they make it anymore. I also have the 18" Bowie machete, but I like the 12" better.
 
I just did a review on their bolo and really love it.
