CFM chuck123wapati Posted 10 hours ago CFM Report Posted 10 hours ago Finally did something!! It's been a while, but it sure felt good to get back to doing a few things. The Machete is 1095, cold blued, with an apple wood handle, and a 13 1/2" blade. The sheath is about 7/8 oz, Mottled bison brown stain, and finished with Feibings Mink oil. Dang, when I pulled that leather out of the box and that wonderful aroma of tanned leather hit me, i was hooked again lol.

PastorBob Posted 9 hours ago Report Posted 9 hours ago Wow! Great work @chuck123wapati as always! Really like how you framed up the photos too. Is that a sharpening stone in the outer pocket?

Right now it's just a piece of wood the same size as the whetstone, I sewed the pocket on flat so I had to wet form it to shape.

Members dikman Posted 1 hour ago Members Report Posted 1 hour ago Good job Chuck, looks the goods. Deer in the front yard, that's a bit different, all I get is the odd rabbit and koalas using it as a thoroughfare to get from tree to tree. As an aside machete's have just been banned in South Australia, they are now a prohibited weapon. Buggered if I'm handing mine in, I'm going to shorten the blade with an angle grinder so it's no longer a machete and use the off-cut to make some small blades.
