went in the hardware store for a machete, I had my mind on one of those Silverline ones like I showed you some months back.

They were out of stock. (they sell well) but out of the coupboard behind the counter they got this.

told me it was a millitary one from the 50s, the last they had. they got a job lot in an MOD clearout, but most went for scrap, as they were worth more for the metal than as machetes!!!

its a Martindale with the crocodile logo on, which is a well known make.

no sheath, and as you can see is a bit of a mess, but even at the price of two Silverlines, I think I got a bargain.

You did well getting hold of that, it's becoming very difficult to find anywhere that stocks Martindale machete's. :(

It looks like it's gonna be quite a good user, after a bit of cleaning up of course.

Good find :)
