Did not check on return home.

I left my machette in a damp scabbard on my return home after time out.

Looks in a bit of a state

Cleaned up with a dremel but still left pock marks

Zero out of ten I think

Only one photo shows, if you click on the img code it is copied to your clipboard, paste it directly into your post and it should show no probs, I must admit I always preview any posts I make which show photos or video to make sure they are working.

Cleaned up

Nice patina, gives it a bit of character

Friend of mine araldited a bit of sponge around the lip of his sheath then saturated it with spray type motorcycle chain grease (waxoyl) so everytime he returns the blade to the sheath it gets a light coating of grease and he never has this problem, and believe me he really neglects his kit.

Those machetes are designed for soldiers who inherently abuse kit! There is nothing wrong with it, and as previously stated, the marks have lent a bit of character to a tool that looked like every other one that came off the production line.


It is now unique.

I would not worry. No you have a real user . As long as the edge is in good shape rust is no problem.
