Machete from Guatemala
This machete was obtained by a family member some time while deployed for Operation Desert Storm and passed down. The machete itself has a decorative leather sheath, a black handle, and a long slightly curved steel blade. The blade shows surface ware but seems fairly well maintained. The sheath is made of brown leather and features metal studs, braided cords, and tassels. The writing on the sheath makes out “Guatemala” maybe indicating where it was crafted. This machete was passed down through family members.
