machete

Martin,

The blade and grip profile is virtually identical to one I have. The grip is an olive drab plastic and there is a lanyard hole where the your rivet on the grip tip is. Mine is US military surplus. Near where the blade & grip join are smallish stamps "US, 1945 and True Temper" (the trade name of a US firm that makes lawn & garden tools.)

The scabbard is likely of Central American origin.

Regards,
Ed
