A very respected Beckerhead Brother gifted this to me last week. As for now he will remain anonymous. Since my first swing of a Kukri style blade I've been a fan boy. I'm especially fond of Uncle Es Machax and later the Bk4 designs. So to have this in my possession is.... Well it's like having Your Farrah Fawcett swim suit poster come to life!!!
I'm going to clean it up, send it out for heat treatment, put on some nice micarta scales, put a Killer edge on it and then I'm going to swing the crap out of it. In my mind I'm already making perfect snap cuts right in the sweet spot everytime!!!!I

well, i wonder where THAT came from...

non heat treated 98% ground blade. sweet. i have a couple :) not sure what to do with them yet.

i figured at some point a few will be set free.

let me know about the heat treat / who / what / where / when...

i think the DB speaks to the sheath, Brommeland! maybe. it's a beast.

also, i'm not sure i'd call it a proto? just a batch that was never finished, Ethan had quite a few, and i'm aware SOME scoundrel :) managed to score QUITE a lot of them. like, a lot. so keep in mind, going into the future, if "old like new" machaxes start showing up, with those marks, and updated furniture and sheaths (if they have a sheath), they are not factory... any that i do up or release, WILL get stamped for provenance :)
