Dragon Skin Machete; Steel Cable Blade, Rosewood Handle
Sometimes you just need a bruiser to take care of the heavy work, and the Dragon Skin is here to help even the odds. Did we forge this from the skin of a dragon that was slain deep in the underbelly of an active volcano? Well, no. That seems kinda mean. But this 15" full tang machete style knife does tout a 10" blade made from braided steel cable for the dirty work. A 4.5" rosewood and horn handle with a partial guard keeps your big grip true, even if it gets wet from a gentle summer rain while you picnic in the meadow.
If this is for you, enjoy. If for someone else, you might as well get two, because you're not going to want to give it away.
Disclaimer: It's a knife. It's sharp. Handle with care. It's hard to crochet while missing a finger. You assume all responsibility for safe use upon receipt.
**there will be slight variations in metal pattern and wood grain
BLADE CARE:
1085 high carbon and steel are great at holding an edge, but will rust and stain if not taken care of properly. Please clean and dry your blade after use, and apply a light coat of oil (gun oil, coconut oil, canola...almost any clear oil) in order to protect the blade and add longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Care instructions
1085 high carbon and damascus steel will hold an edge very well, but they are not stainless steel. It may take on color with lots of use, and should be dried and oiled, if possible, to prevent rust. If you do get some rust, I prefer giving it a quick rub with a very fine (0000) steel wool and it usually easily takes care of it without scratching the metal.
You can use WD40 or rust remover, just be sure to clean the blade thoroughly before use, especially if using it for food.
The key is keeping it dry. Any moisture that sits on the metal will cause rust. That being said, I've had some in my drawer for years with no issues!
I wouldn't go chipping away at rocks, but they're pretty tough and should last you a long time!
Wedding Party / Corporate Gifts
Everything you see in the listings is in stock, but we may not have the quantity you need. Send me a note with any questions.
For large custom orders:
These are usually orders of 10+, and you can go full custom. We can do almost any amount given enough time.
You can engrave names or logos on the handles. You can replace my AIM logo with your own etched into the blade, or we can make a custom metal stamp of your logo for the leather sheaths.
Just remember, these are custom made and hand crafted, so we need months, not weeks. The more customized, the more time we need! They look ridiculously awesome, so bring it on!
Custom and personalized orders
Yes.

Notes:
-ENGRAVING goes on the wood handles. It's a laser engraver, so burning the image in. It can do fairly detailed images, even your drawn pictures and handwriting. Be creative! Engraving has a quick turn around.
-ETCHING goes on the metal. It looks great on the polished metal, but can be hard to see on the damascus. This needs to be less detailed. Think words, numbers, basic designs. WE ONLY DO THIS FOR LARGE ORDERS (10+). This takes time.
We will do full custom jobs for larger orders, including blade designs, handle materials, custom deep etched logos (instead of the AIM), custom leather stamps on the sheath, etc. Your gifts can be awesome!

Absolutely beautiful and wonderfully made! So far solid and even came oiled and VERY sharp. I am grateful and astonished by this blade. Pictures don't even do it the justice of seeing it in person. I look forward to relying on this for the rest of its years to come. The sheath it came with (sadly not fantastic by any means, but it doesn't suck either) has a great foam blade-line so that was a nice touch; since most would just not have it and you end up cutting the inside stitching out. Honestly the best blade I have owned to-date. Oh and it is wonderfully weighted as well! Thanks for the amazing work of art!

Beautifully made and designed! The blade came well sharpened, and the sheath is very strong. The care instructions were also a great laugh.

Excellent experience with this seller! Item had been delivered but i still couldn’t find it, and the seller was still very patient and communicative trying to help me figure out what happened. The blade is GORGEOUS. Excellent weight, sharp, and love my custom handle. I’m excited to see how she handles!! Would absolutely buy from this seller again.
