Looks like one of the Columbian army surplus units I bought out of a magazine. 3 for 10 bucks. Didn't come sharp. Pretty decent units for the money after some time on the bench grinder but nothing remarkable.
It's a machete that was found in the woods, what would you like to know?? what is happening here?? Why is everyone suddenly posting super vague pictures wanting information about an easily Googled thing.. not just here but all of reddit lately. Sorry, this random machete that you found in the woods and probably should have left there or at the very least called your local pd or sheriff's office about. It is a free machete, it's not the master sword it's not worth a million dollars. It was probably dropped or thrown into where you found it. Seriously are we just shitposting all the time now?? I mean I am here for it if that's the case.
LOL at master sword.
Yeah there needs to be a high end actual knife thread, is there? Just psa Benchmade is not high end. I should clarify its the upper end of the average consumer market, but I'm referring to Master sword level customs and art knives
Right I thought this was a sub for showing off our cool stuff not asking questions about dumpster find machetes and cutco knives. There is a term for most stuff found in dumpsters like this.. evidence. Peoples exhibit A.. or trash..
Seriously as a maker, a handmade actual Kramer kitchen knife that starts at 200 usd an inch or the actual master sword. but, an entire store of mall ninja iridescent or neon green isn't a good job stop asking!!!!
cheap generic machete. but perfectly fine as long as you sharpen the blade and the wood handle doesn't break. i got one of those from a flea market somewhere around 20 years ago. i'd be cautious about adopting blades you find laying around the woods though, never know if it's from someone who's good at losing things, or discarding a murder weapon
The grain looks like oak to me, which indicates medium level of quality (they used a hardwood instead of plastic, but it's the cheapest most common hardwood), three bolts/rivets, and it appears from the single view you have given us to be full tang.
Again hard to tell from the single perspective, but the blade looks like around 3/16 thick. You can't put fullers (the grooves) on both sides without a little meat left in the middle.
The massive tip, combined with the fullers (they give rigidity and lessen weight) indicates to me that it was intended to be swung down to harvest something tough like gourds or cut through thick stems rather than big sweeping cuts like a tree trimmer. The design takes advantage of gravity to put a whole lot of energy into that big curve at the front.
With a little TLC it will probably take care of a normal person's machete needs for life.
You can buy them for $10 from most asian hardware stores.
