My Fathers Machete

This machete was my fathers. He had it in the jungles of Panama during WWII.

He gave it to me long ago when he saw I was collecting swords. He had seen my machete and commented on how the original canvas sheath he was had, was long ago rotted away.

It is made of really good spring steel and my dad resisted putting it on the grinder to sharpen it.

--Still cuts well and true.
