I have one exactly like it. Found it in a field. After restoration, it was a couple of decades before I put it to work. Its a fantastic tool. Its used for jobs I formerly did with loppers or small chain saw. Very efficient.

"Not Terrible", my as_! That is one of the best restorations I have ever seen! It's beautiful!

Your filming and editing were gorgeous. It really made that beer's colour pop, it made me want one myself! This was an absolute treat, thank you!

It's absolutely beautiful, one thing though, traditionally, working knives such as machetes are usually blued, they are to be used outdoors and bare metal rusts extremely fast in those conditions. As a show piece though, its stunning.

Hey Blunt I just saw your comment and I'm really really flattered

Absolutely, Beautiful! One of your best. I wish you had redone the handle in leather like the original. It offered some cushioning for the hand. (I emphasize "restoration")

I have a novel video idea! In one video you restore multiple simpler tools in succession as you find you need to restore the next in order to work on the one prior. You can build dramatic tension with each one and then finish them all in the end with elation.

Damn great job.👍🇺🇸
