New Koyote Machete (Pic Heavy)

[JerkeeJoe]

After seeing Christof's submission to the WSS Machete contest, I decided I had to have him make me one. So I contacted him, and some weeks later, I have it in my hands.

I asked him to make it identical to the machete he made for the contest and he did so, but suggested a slightly shorter length. End result is 14.5" of hair popping 1/8" 1080 steel with a burlap micarta handle. The blade is perfectly balanced, and handles extremely well. I can't wait to get it out in the woods to put it through the paces.

Christof's service was phenomonal, and the end product far exceeds my high expectations. I can't recommend Koyote knives highly enough. :thumbup:

I'll post a user review later, but for now, here's some pics:

The beautiful and functional burlap micarta handle.

And an in hand pic for size reference

Here's a picture of it riding where I bought it to ride; on my Mystery Ranch long bow pack.

Holy smokes that machete looks amazing ... I've come to expect no less from Christof

Awesome looking piece, and that leather is just spectacular!:thumbup:

Sweet photos!

Don't forget a bit of plumbers tape or something on the screw threads when you get a set up you like on the belt hanger (but you don't need the belt hanger for the pack )

I did make a slight modification in the tip profile, I think it works out pretty decently.

Good looking blade. But then, I expect nothing less.

Really excellent!

I bet you can't wait for the zombie apocalypse!

Until the zombies come,it will get plenty of action chopping wood and brush, making hunting hides, and doing general backpacking and camping duty.

Not that I care but what is the price? and how long is the wait because I think instead of a new rifle I want one of those. But seriously if anyone could direct on where to order one of those I would be greatly appreciative. That is just a beautiful blade

Christof has a web site with a contact link at the top of the page: Koyote Knives

He also has a sub-forum in the maker's area: Koyote Custom Knives

I've ordered a couple knives from him; he should be able to help you out.

not sure on the price but you can pm the above poster as he is the maker

 

[koyote]

don't tell a maker you don't care what the price is

PM or email christof@koyoteknives.com
Wait time is a bit variable since I'm in the middle of moving house, but not too long, in any event.

Another winner. It's been a good time lately for awesome machetes!

 

[Rockywolf]

I own several of his knives and they are excellent. This one looks terrific too!

 

[Mistwalker]

Wow! Christof that thing looks awesome!! That thickness should make it a very sturdy blade, and I love the sheaths on your larger blades.

 

[AZWaterRat]

Awesome Machete, Awesome Sheath & Awesome Pack !!!

I really like the handle.It is small enough to allow it to rock in your hand as it should when chopping and long enough to use the end for a power blow or choke up for more precise work.
