Not originally intended as a sale piece, but one for myself, it came up in conversation on the forum, and a kind member,
bikerector
has expressed interest in it, so this thread exists to give him the full benefit of a 100% above board transaction.
This AEB-L machete is my first one to date, and about my fifth large blade, so there has admittedly been a leaning curve. It was heat treated and tempered to RC 59 by Rob at Canadian Knife Maker Supply, and handled with peel ply black G10, carbon fiber pins and CA glue construction. The machete comes with a snap and friction fit Kydex sheath, and has been used for trail clearing on a handful of hikes in the Canadian woods, and when handled per the technique in "Machete 101 with Joe Flowers" handled and performed every bit as well as I had hoped it would.
Blade length 13", thickness 1/8", though it is a little thinner by the handle, due to having been worked on before I knew to install a glass platen on my grinder. It's not as drastic as it looks in the pic, due to the glare reflection towards the front of the spine.
Asking $OLD via PayPal, price includes expedited shipping, with full tracking and insurance. As mentioned in the first paragraph, bikerector has first dibs at this machete. Here are the photos, blemishes and all. Thanks for looking.
