Thompson was inspired by the Thai swords in his private collection, as well as his intensive practice of Thai martial arts, and began creating his own interpretation of a Thai sword to work in machete format.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Lynn has been practicing Thai martial arts since the early 1980s. He learned Thai boxing from Bill Berg and the late Ernie Franco, and then studied Muay Thai and Krabi Krabong in detail with Ron Balicki, his current training partner and instructor for over 13 years.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThe Thai machete is the result of four years of development and optimization. Like the Thai swords it was inspired by, this machete is beautifully balanced and features a razor-sharp edge and point. Though traditionally used in pairs in Thai martial arts, these long, curved blades are incredibly versatile. They are light enough to be used one-handed, yet feature an extra-long handle that provides enough room for both hands to increase leverage and cutting power.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThanks to its wide blade and curved edge, the Thai machete is an excellent brushcutter. It effortlessly cuts through grass, climbing plants, and light foliage. The fully sharpened blade uses the same tough 1055 carbon steel as the other classic blades in Cold Steel's incredibly popular machete range. The durable, traditional-looking polypropylene handle features a flattened oval shape that prevents the machete from spinning in your hand. The steel-reinforced guard provides surprisingly good hand protection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Blade material: 1055 carbon steel with a matte black baked enamel anti-corrosion finish.\u003cbr\u003e - Total length: approx. 92.7 cm.\u003cbr\u003e - Blade length: approx. 55.9 cm.\u003cbr\u003e - Blade thickness: approx. 2.8 mm.\u003cbr\u003e - Handle: approx. 36.8 cm long, polypropylene\u003cbr\u003e - Weight: approx. 833 g\u003cbr\u003e - Includes cor-ex™ case\u003cbr\u003e - Cold steel item number: 97thams\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003eTienda Medieval,\u003c\/strong\u003e we have thousands of medieval and other period products.
