poppaclutch Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Roughed out second attempt at a Machete. Same material as first... 3/8th inch thick sweep. Looks like this one is going to be a lot longer. Don't know how I will do the handle but thinking about aluminum. Also including a pic of some other knives. Thanks for viewing, Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper Iron Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Those all look pretty awesome. They look kinda wizardly,zombie apocalyptic,mean, and artful at the same time lol. I really liked the one with the super shinny ball at the end. That second machete is huge! More like a giant meat cleaver/ machete. I really like the wavy twists you've put in those handles. All around cool stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles R. Stevens Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 make sure the transition from the blade to the tang has a radius to discourage cracking. As to aluminum, it has a nasty habit of rubbing off on everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
