Neat video. I have four machetes. The 12" is the most used one and its just a simple Cold Steel Bowie machete. It works quite well though. I have the 18" and another Persian looking thing I am not even sure where it came from.
The one I have in my safe has never been used, and was given to me by my father in law. I may have gotten that Persian looking one from him also. He used to live in El Salvador and so did my wife when she was young. The one in the safe has the factory dull edge because I've never had to pull it out with all the others I have available but I know nothing about it. It has a stamp on the blade that looks like an old style lock which has what appears to be a small bell shape in the bottom. Its in a nice sheath too that says it was made in central America.
On the blade Under that lock stamp it says "CANDADO" and under that "DORADO then underlined and No 127 with "FORJADO" under that and "A MANO" under that and finally the only English on the thing says under all that near the tang, "MADE IN GERMANY"
Anyone know anything about it?
