    All three have been kept in a protective container since purchase. They have never been used, carried, or sharpened.
    All have Cor-Ex nylon sheaths with belt loops, polypropylene handles, and baked on, rust resistant matte finishes. Cold Steel uses impact resistant carbon steel, not Chinese mystery steel. Cold Steel Machetes are built to use (see Youtube).

    The Tactical Wakizashi has a grippy, maintenance free handle. No rattle or blade play. $30 firm
    Discontinued Smatchet. This is a chopper designed for branches, limbs, and small trees. It is not flexible. $35 firm
    Black Bear Bowie Machete. This like a big knife that can do light chopping. The blade is not flexible. $25 firm

    No Trades please. All purchases must be in person. Thanks Mike.

    I wonder if could stipple those handles, like a Glock frame

    I can't think of any way to duplicate plastic injection mold stippling.
    I've used a dremel to put jimping on an older knife. It worked fine, but looks sloppy.
    The handles on the black bear, and smatchet have very fine stippling that create pretty good traction. The downward curve on the end of the handle, and guard under the blade should keep your hand from slipping off the end, or onto the blade. I keep a paracord lanyard on my users, for extra insurance.
    Agressive stippling on the handle would destroy your hand, during heavy use.
