Here’s a very cool Machete I’ve made
I started with 1/4in 5160 and natural canvas Micarta and started removing a LOT of material to reveal this cool blade! The flat ground blade has fullers ground in on both sides. The blade has been cold blued. Overall it is 19 13/16in long. The blade is 14 5/8in long tip to scales. The swedge is semi sharp for about 1/3rd its length. I was able to get the weight down to a very manageable 23oz
The sheath is black Boltaron with a reversible belt loop. The sheath will also accommodate a large size Tek Lok. My price is $650***sold*** shipped in the US for this one of a kind Machete.
The Polar Bear Camp Knife is made from 1/4in 5160 with natural canvas Micarta scales. The cold blued blade is flat ground and 6 5/16in tip to scales. Overall the Polar Bear is 11 1/4in and weighs 12oz. I have tapered the tang on this one and contoured the scales for a nice fit in the paw. The sheath is black Boltaron with a reversible belt loop and will also accommodate a large size Tek Lok. My price on this Polar Bear is $375***sold***shipped in the US.
