I recently picked up a production made machete blank from the Book of Eli. We spent a lot of time trying to determine the correct dimensions in the past and @Miketribal cut some incredible real steel machetes for us from it. However, as well as we did, those machetes weren't accurate in a number of areas. Now that I have an original in hand, we can make them exact. Here is the question: we have three choices in material and I only plan to use one. Mike made real steal (very sharp) machetes. While these are extremely nice, they are potentially dangerous and to the best of my knowlegde, there was nothing like this used in the movie. In the movie there were hero aluminum machetes (with a false edge) and they there were plastic machetes (what my blank is made from). There were also rubber machetes but I have no interest in producing those. I have NO idea on pricing but I want to see 1) how many are interested and 2) what most people want. My assumption would be that real steal machetes would be the most expensive, aluminum next and plastic the cheapest. So, look above this post and vote to let me know what you would be interested in. If there is enough interest, I'll take this to the next step and see about actually getting pieces produced.
