New and unused Thailand machete. Thailand machete is handmade of 5160 high carbon steel. Handle is made out of wood. The handle is wrapped in para cord which I believe is glued to it. Sheath was in the United States. Knife is very heavy the center of the blade is 2 incheswide the heel hooks on the blade are 3 inches . The overall length is 21.5 inches. It is differently heat treated. The edge is hard the spine is soft. The sheath is 9 ounce Water buffalo. Sheath comes with a leather leg strap. Knife is made in Thailand sheath is made in United States. I do not ship or sale outside the United States. This is a heavy machete this is not light. This is a great survival tool. I am selling the item exactly the way I received. They is no changes. You will see marks made from the Blade Smith. The sheath was made in Hawaii. There are videos of this machete on YouTube. All the videos and pictures I have seen show that there are 4 pins underneath the handle. I have not remove the wrap so I’m not sure but I think it is 4..I think the paracord is to aid in gripping the machete and reduce some of the impact in the handle. If that makes sense
