here's my latest find an old ww2 pilots folding machete made by camilus i still dont know why i bought it as i have absolutely no use for it but well it's kind of pretty for such a big lump i think there were 116'000 of these made for pilots if they had to bail out over jungle's,this ones seen a lot of use and is a bit scuffed and grimy,the liner lock is still very solid though and its a weighty piece the blade is nine and three quarters long and 3.4mm thick the handle measures 5 and a half in total,it may find its way to ebay as i cant really see me using it,but its an interesting design and it may yet stay with me :twisted: DSC00011.JPG[/attachment]DSC00010.JPG[/attachment]DSC00009.JPG[/attachment]DSC00007.JPG[/attachment]DSC00008.JPG[/attachment]

Nice antique you got there man. Atlanta Cutlery once had a replica of that blade. Plus, one of Kabar's zombie killers is based on that blade's shape.
