My dad found this knife/machete/kukri thing and gave it to me.

It is probably ground from an old lawnmower blade on a bench grinder in someone's garage...

Reminds me of book of Eli in a way. Besides that though. Do you know where or when it was made? Any marking or any thing like that?

>>28047923
its Chinese and retails for 10-15 bucks thought it seems like the previous owner was using it

>>28047954
That would be a quality blade probably.
This looks like a typical $10 stainless made in china PoS.

No markings of any kind anywhere. It's definitely handmade. Also no way of really knowing how old it is.

Legitimate kukris from Nepal are made from the leaf springs off trucks.

If it was retail there would be markings of some kind.

Well that's cool. You should ask your dad how and where he got it. A cool story could be behind it.

its just as likely to be unmarked as marked depending on where you got it from
yeah that one looks slighlty different cause the old owner reprofiled it
go to a fleamarket see like 10 of those in a pile

I feel like this thing is much older than 2012 honestly man. Exact same style though.

>>28048211
theyve sold that style of machete for decades now
ive got one from the late 90s somewhere in my garage
the blade profile stays the same but the holesize and location varies

plenty of time for it to have rusted even though its stainless been cleaned up, resharpened and look vintage
im sorry to break it to you but its nothing special

>>28048262
I was never trying to claim it had any monetary value... Just seems like a damn good chopper.

i have one of these. they're cheap, like $20-30, and are pretty good for chopping stuff. can take a fair bit of abuse
