New Project!!!

My boys found this near the house and brought it home to me since they know the machete is my favorite blade of choice!!
It was NASTY!!! when I first got it with the entire thing looking like the handle part.
I was thinking yuk maybe I'll just keep it around for a beater but after hosing the mud off then wire brushing it I found out it was an imported Brazilian Cane machete, about the best steel machete on the planet.
The wood handle was still pretty decent and cleaned up nice but then in typical BS style I figured it was time for a bad ass Machete Mod!!!
Epically since my last good machete was stolen a while back.. So I popped off the handle wire brushed it, cleaned it and parkerized it tonight in preparation for the coming camo job as the sample picture indicates as well as a custom Para cord wrapped handle.

Probably already used as one, tossed away hoping all the forensic evidence has been washed away. And now...it has been.

i enjoy restoring cane knifes and crap like that myself. i just finished a brazilian cane machette, but i used treated deck board for the handle. this one i keep in my boat with a homemade sheath from a old fire hose. some people see junk, i see weapons...lol

That is a great idea. I have never though of using an old fire hose to make a sheath. Might have to try and secure some.
