Hey guys,

I have up for grabs today one of my machetes. I've decided to call this model the Fell Beast.

These are without a doubt the best tools I've ever made and I'm continually blown away by their performance. This is a machete designed for hard use such as hardwood chopping, batoning, and blazing trails through tough segments of forest. These have unbelieveable chopping power and will out chop anything in its weight class. They also are great for clearing brush and excel at thicker vegetation like blackberries. I'm not even sure this blade is technically a machete. Performance wise, its a whole new breed of tool.

Heres the specs

Steel- 52100 with spring tempered spine and 57-58 RC edge by Peters HT
Length- 23.5in overall
Blade Length- 17.5in
Blade height- 2.45 in
Thickness- .108
Weight-~21 ounces
Finish- Acid wash tumbled flats and satin bevel.
Handle- Stabilized Reptilian Sycamore

This one turned out pretty dang nice except for one mistake on the bevel. The middle portion of the bevel is slightly higher on one side and there are a very light 220 grit sctraches that can be seen on the flats in the correct light. Other than that this one is very attractive. The stabilized sycamore looks amazing in person and is overflowing with greens and deep colors. I wish I could photograph it better. The handle is absolute DYNAMITE in hand. The scales are extremely thick and fill out the hand perfectly.

All machetes come with a lifetime warranty against breakage or extreme damage that may occur during use. If you break it or damage it I will repair it or get you a new one and pay your shipping both ways. With that said, please be responsible, while these blades are unbelievably tough, and blade can be broken with abuse.

Price is \--NOW $$199 with nice kydex sheath + actual shipping cost which is around $16 Money order is fine as well or Personal Check if I know you. PM me or email at Huntsmanknifeco AT gmail DOT com.

Guys and gals I have one of these from the first batch and it is a fantastic tool. Nimble and fast in the hand, bites deep into wood when chopping and cleans brush and brambles with ease.

This is my second piece of Hunters work and I can assure you that his inner perfectionist sells him short. If he points out a "flaw" the average person will be hard pressed to notice it.
 
Hi Hunter, I'm still interested in getting one of these with a horse mat handle and no ring.
 
Brummie,

Sent you a PM.

If anyone else is interested in one with different options PM or email me and I will get you one made to your likings. :thumbup: I really believe this is the best tool I've ever made and I'd love to see more people get the chance to use them.

Thanks
 
Final price drop to $199 with a sheath plus actual shipping cost for this beauty with the absolute best warranty in the business.

Unfortunately I can't afford to stay in business with the current market and prices. Applying for a new job tomorrow and going back to being a part time maker.
 
Thanks Joe,

I think thats just the problem. No one has cash right now.

I need to put together a video of these things in action. I've gone head to head with some very popular production blades and the Fell beast out chops them all by a wide margin. I think these will out chop anything other than a Felling axe or a really big kukri.
 
Heresay,

The ring serves two functions.

1.) it allows the user to choke up on the blade for finer work
2.) It serves dual purpose as a forward guard to protect the hand when chopping and clearing brush and to prevent forward slippage when stabbing.
 
I am going to go ahead and keep the blades at this price so if you would like to order one PM me or email me and I will honor the $199 price point.
 
If my Fjord Hiker is as awesome as I expect it to be, gonna hit you up for one of these bad boys.

Cheers!
