Wide machete

[Mecha]

A wide machete, made of VT/BT23 titanium alloy. It has a cross-section that's almost like a flat ellipse. Wide blades are a real pain to try to make from titanium alloys, especially when thin.

This is an all-business hacking/chopping/splitting blade, contrasted with some nice thick bison leather for the fancy sheath. Sheath made by Ms. @Oye.

25.75" oal, 15.7" edge section, about 8.5" of handle, weighing 19oz. Irregular thickness is under 1/8".

Pics from before sharpening:

Tried for the Billytran joke, but that was waaaay before your time and didn’t realize it.

Basically, he’d want it if it would “chap and cat ap a mankey”.

Take a good one!

She's on the forum but doesn't use it. All of the nice black leather sheaths you see in the work posted here are hers.
