For Sale: Fiddleback 12” Machete
I purchased this knife years ago, but have seldom used it. There are several reasons you may want to consider buying this one over a current production version. First off is the handle. It is hand shaped in the less common green canvas micarta with the trademark Fiddleback Bullseye tube. I just put a fresh bead blast finish on the handle for positive grip. The included belt sheath is reddish brown leather with a retention strap.
The main distinction with this knife is the edge. I spent hours refining it to a near mirror polish convex Wicked Edge. This makes it extremely sharp and easier to maintain with a regular strop instead of a file. This is hard to show in photos on a cell phone, but I did my best.
Price: $SOLD I am not looking for any trades at this time.
The listed price includes Paypal Goods & Services fees and domestic USPS Priority shipping with Signature required tracking.
First unconditional "I'll take it" response posted in this thread or sent through forum PM has priority to buy. I expect payment within 24 hours of sending you my Paypal info.
Buyer must be of legal age and is responsible to know and follow all applicable local, state and federal laws and guidelines.
Thanks for looking!
