Hi OBG,

That US Military machete looks handy also; a short, stiff, tough bush working tool that is not to awkward to carry or use.

Your reference to a military machete reminded me of one I have in the basement that is a folding model. The blade is about 12 inches long and folds back on the about 6 inch handle. I think the blade locks with a heavy liner lock.

I think it was made in England during WW II and I saw one for sale at a gun show last fall for $150.00!
