Lot 1463:
Barteaux & Sons Heavy Duty Field Machete with Orange D-Guard Handle and Leather Sheath
Sold for: $55
Description
This is a single heavy-duty field machete manufactured by Barteaux & Sons of Portland, Oregon, USA. The design is characteristic of the robust D-guard pattern often associated with later Ontario Knife Company (OKC) models. The machete features a long, wide steel blade with a dark, oxidized finish and a cut-off or squared-off tip profile, typical of tools designed for heavy clearing work. The handle is constructed of bright orange molded polymer or plastic, forming an integral D-guard for hand protection. The grip surface features coarse checkering. Visible markings molded into the orange handle read: BARTEAUX & SONS / PORTLAND OR USA. The machete is accompanied by a dark brown leather scabbard featuring heavy white perimeter stitching and a belt loop. No serial number is present.
