[Arklatex]

Not a bad idea if you have the tools and an afternoon to kill.

Nice work!

I wonder about the quality of steel in that machete. It's probably unfit for any sort of edged tool, I doubt seriously that it will hold an edge. The pin holes drilled out pretty easy and the steel wasn't annealed which leads me to believe that the heat treating is suspect.
