Up for sale is this modified Hansa model #191
Work on this piece includes:
~Cutting blade
~Shaping blade
~Dressing spine
~Sharpening edge
~Convexing edge
~Polishing edge
~Removal of stock scales
~Fabrication/drilling of custom maple scales
~Riveting of custom scales
~Flushing of rivets/custom scales
~Shaping/sanding/oiling of custom scales
Blade Length: 21.5"
Handle Length: 5.5"
This piece has the most needle-sharp point I think you'll ever find on a machete and once you get it in hand you'll have no doubt of what it was made to do. This beast is light as a feather and sharp as a razor and was going through cardboard like it wasn't even there during initial testing. Because of this it will work great on lush vegetation, grasses...or zombies! The custom maple handle is affixed with large, primitive copper rivets that bring out the old-world feel of the piece. The point of balance is 5.5" in front of the handle, making for a highly maneuverable blade with plenty of striking power. The straight edge of the blade will prevent target materials from slipping off of the blade, creating a slicing effect. A beautiful and unique tool with a distinctive historically-inspired flair.
Asking $50 Plus Shipping FINAL REDUCED PRICE--$45 plus shipping!--I accept payment via PayPal, money order, or personal check. If paying by PayPal don't worry about compensating for processing fees--that's on my bill, not yours. Item typically ships same or next business day that payment is received, so if paying by check or money order please allow time for funds to make it to me.
For reference, shipping in the CONUS is about $9, give or take a few cents. International orders are welcome--just understand that shipping will be more expensive.
Now on to the pictures!
