I like it! I especially like the finish.

thanks, it came out better than expected. I've had this bottle for years, so didn't even know if it was still good, and it was an experiment that worked out for a change lol.

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.

Thanks, yeah I heard that, so just how many folks over there are doing bad things with machetes to get them banned?  The reason i made this was that i have a couple of cheap machetes that I cut down and found they are better suited for me that way. The grip finally broke on one of them, and I wanted one made a bit better so i used it as a pattern.

That's a great looking case (scabbard? Sheath? Bladeprophylactic?)

 

Kidding aside, I haven't used a machete, but it looks pretty awesome too. More often in my experience, axes or hatchets are used. They may not be legal in Australia, but I think we can still have them in Canada and parts of the UK

Thank you, I have those also lol.  I ike these over hatchets because they are so light and the thin blade cuts better. They are excellent for backpacking or foraging. I have a sweet little double-bit hatchet that I carry sometimes when hunting also.

Not totally banned in UK yet. In the UK its the weapon of choice for gangs. To be killing other gangs or often innocents (yes, real innocent people). We don't have any real wild areas where a machete is needed but a few groundsmen and gardeners have them in their tool boxes

  I'll bet those gangsters will just go down and turn 'em right in when you do.

Is it illegal to carry a hatchet or ax? Curious minds want to know…

 

But Chuck, both pieces look really nice!
