Thank you for viewing. This is a machete (hatchet) made out of curiosity by an old blacksmith. It's made with a steel core and has an incredible sharpness. For safety, the first 60mm of the blade near the handle is not sharpened. This is the only machete of its kind in the world. It's old, but it's a new, unused item. Specifications (approximate values) Blade length: Approximately 360mm Blade width: Approximately 40mm (near handle), Approximately 65mm (tip) Blade thickness: Approximately 6mm Total length: 550mm Steel: Hitachi Metals Aogami (Blue Paper) No. 1 Handle: Japanese oak
