That new Baryonyx machete is one beastly hunk of steel. I watched the testing video you did with it, looks like it will be a winner.

Thanks! First production run should be landing around mid-November if all goes well. Can't wait! I plan on doing a passaround when they come in.
 
That's a full sized Griptilian. Do I win for length?:D

Blade length? Maker? :)

I've got a couple of 28-inchers that are pretty fun but I don't use them much since they're basically "field blades" and I use my scythes for all of my field work.

A passaround? Id be interested, ive never really used anything in that pattern before but i do like to have a wide blade so as to put all the oomph behind the edge
