Thanks. This will be my first machete. I am curious how it will hold up.
Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

I doubt it would shave well.ScottGoodman and EisenFaust like this.Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

Thaeris:
I don't take orders so much anymore. I want to take time for my own projects and razors.
But this one....... Couldn't refuse
It'll be one more time a stressful restoration, but I can't wait to have this baby looking good once again
Thaeris, you seem to always acquire some beauties to restore! Great score.................
Bruno:
Preparing for the zombie apocalypse.
I still have to do a lot of polishing before HT, to save myself as much time as possible after HT.
And a couple of razors that were heat treated today.
Crappy cell phone pic alert.
Bruno, I can't wait to see how the machete comes out! Great work!Thaeris likes this.

some works in progress. This is the third modification to the farrier rasp razor, but the one i'm most happy with. The other one was one my mentor had cut and flat ground, a long time ago.
I'm going to need a bigger bathroom

Working on my motorcycle. With 86K miles and 20 years old it always needs a bit of maintenance.
