RAT machete - Imacasa

[R.A.T.]

We are turning in a P.O. today for 600 machete blanks from Imacasa. These will be 18" machetes with the Condor convex edge. They will be shipped to Shon to put Micarta handles on and laser enrgave. As soon as Shon gets them handled we will start shipping these to dealers.

To hold costs down, the standard machete will not come with any type of a sheath. We are having a manufacturer quote making a cheap Cordura sheath to offer as a future option.

Let's see how many million questions there will be about this simple post
