Description

This gorgeous, vintage, French-made machete was uncovered visiting one of our favorite French factories. Designed and made by the owner’s grandfather many decades ago it features a brass wire-wrapped handle for durability and a secure grip (it looks great to boot). Measuring 18 ½” long overall with a 13 ¾” stainless steel blade. It’s very well balanced in your hand.

From clearing trails to beating back brush, splitting wood to harvesting crops, the Machete is a unique, irreplaceable tool, and this is one of the finest we’ve ever encountered. Includes a new gorgeous, durable French-made leather sheath with belt loop. Highly recommended.

Pleasant to hold

The handle is slightly loose.

"The handle is slightly loose. I also would prefer a larger handle for my hand, but that will vary person to person. The sheath is very well made. Overall a good deal if you catch it on sale like I did."

Nice machete

"Nice machete for my collection. Much smaller than my other machete (s)! Hopefully it will sharpen well as it looks like good steel!"

great for cleaning large fish

"I bought it for this purpose, and it does the job…make sure you clean it and promptly dry it…otherwise, the steel is tarnished/rusted."

Q&A

How thick is the spine of the machete
Clay, the spine is 7/64"....2.8 mm. Thank you.
Hello, I am unsure of the vintage nature of this machete. Did you find a mess of these in the old factory, as they are actually produced a long time ago, or are they a reproduction of an old machete you found? Either way looks like a beautiful piece, I have already ordered one-waiting for it to get in, just wanting to know any more details about this piece you can share. I would love to know the exact type of stainless steel it uses as well if you can share that.
Brandon, yes, they are vintage not repro's. We don't have the steel details for that reason. thank you.
Hello - what kind of steel is this machete made from ( it just says stainless ). What type ?? And it was definitely made in France ??? Just wanted to clarify before I post a video review on YouTube. Thanks so much !!
Cowboy, we dont know what type of stainless steel its made of because it was made quite a long time ago. It was definitely made in France. Thank you
