My Vietnam war wall...

I know where a GI machete is in a pawn shop if your interested, pretty sure it's Vietnam Era but I'll double check this wknd. It's got black plastic grip panels. I think the price is around $100.

My lovely wife bought me a 1942 hatchet and a machete for Christmas. The machete didn’t come with the sheath tho.

No sheath with this one either but maybe I'll pick it up if you don't. I remember when I was a kid on a farm we grew sugar cane and hand chopped it with surplus machetes we got at a Midwest city army surplus store in the 70s. We got a half dozen for $2 apiece. Wish I still had them.....

no joke. My dad used to tell me stories about buying surplus back in the late 60’s. And he always said “if I only knew” lol

I remember tiger striped camo for $5-$10, USMC fighting knives with M8 scabbard for $6. The 70s and 80s were great years for surplus gear also. I had a Girlfriend in the 80s that bought a tiger striped camo set and cut it up
