The online community of knife collectors, A Knife Family Forged in Steel
Tramontina Machete.
23". Rusty, and handle is very dark with age, oil, and dirt. I had to scrape off some of the rust and dirt in order to see who made it. The stamping says "BRASIL" not BRAZIL, so I think this was intended for semi-native use. Not European or American markets.
Wooden handle. Partial tang. Looks like handle is riveted on, so I think the handle's wood is original.
Is there a way to figure out date of manufacture?
I just got this thing and I still need to clean it up more. And of course do a lot more research on this company and product. If anyone has any knowledge that they can share that would help me in this research, I would certainly welcome it!
So new to me, that no photos are uploadable on here yet.
Thanks!
