@HaidongGumdo i dont know. The original tang is only for one hand, i think little short for such a big blade.

[HaidongGumdo]

what did you exactly do by removing the old handle from coldsteel. cause i wanna customize my own katana machete as well. Make it more to my taste. and is youre blade still 19 inches or did you shortened it a bit? Hope to hear from you.

@HaidongGumdo i broke it off with hammer and chisel and cut off/drilled out the pins. the hidden tang is actually pretty small so i did take off inch or two from the blade to make the full tang handle little longer...

[gavkoo]

@scottober831 yep. thats it

say man, if i got one of those, how much would it cost me too get it pimped like urs.

[gavkoo]

@bailey1996vinyard i dont think i will be doing many more customizing in future but if you want i can sell you that one with the sheath as it is for $140 shipped in US...

Love the Tatt! I live by that motto.

A little History :

MOLON LABE - "Come and take them". It is a classical expression of defiance reportedly spoken by King Leonidas I in response to the Persian army's demand that the Spartans surrender their weapons at the Battle of Thermopylae.

Can you show how you took the handle off.

[KungFuPandurr]

Very nice mod. But I left mine the way it is. I've modded other knives and machete's that had plastic or kraton handles, but the katana machete's tang, no matter how small, was in Polypropelyne, which is UNBREAKABLE (Unless you take a power saw to it) It's what their bats and most of their other blunt weapons such as the indian war club are made out of. Beautiful mod though, but kind of a downgrade when the original was unbreakable and gave some much needed reach.

should do it to the 2 hand kukri =D

[HaidongGumdo]

I do not have the katana machete near me. so i can't tell. But if it handles with the handle from coldsteel. and the way it has been pinned with the bolsters. I am planning to do the same so it stays strong. only the handle will be different. But we shall see i guess. :-)

[HaidongGumdo]

Thanks for the tip. allthough the length of the tang i think is okay. The way i want to customize should hold its strength. Yet again. Thank you.

HaidongGumdo: is in fact sensei Titus Mathijn Jansen an instructor from Ashida kim his Koga Ryu Ninjitsu. Sensei Titus you are a fake and a bigg fraud. I want to advice everybody to google on: sensei titus jansen ninjitsu, he is also found on the forum of bullshido ( the forum where all the frauds are mentioned)
