Cutacha / Machete

totalcoverage · 14th August 2006, 08:59 PM

I’ve recently captured a vintage machete / cutacha. I’m not sure of its story, but need help.

18” long on the blade (one edge)

Blade is at a point going to 2” then tapering down to 1 ¼” at the handle

One side of the blade shows “ElValiente” and on the other side has etching with a dragon with wings (or water serpent)

On each side they are approx 6”

4” handle (which is wrapped in leather, don’t think original)

Please let me know if you have information to help.
