antigoth24 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 i was at a flea market a few years back and picked up a machete for about $5 and this past year one of my friends somehow mangled it...i dont know how... but i needed to (wanted to) reforge it so after drawing it out it was a bit to long so the part i cut off i decided to turn into a knife...so the first pic is what the machete looked like and then the knife after its polishing and edge placement so like 15% done...overall length in about 9 inches still deciding on what to do with the handle. let me know what you guys think Staff note: Copyrighted photo removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
