I finished my brother's machete. I wanted to have wooden slab handles with brass pins, but the steel was so hard even when normalized that I couldn't drill through it, so I opted for a paracord wrap instead. I'm concerned the paracord wrap won't absorb shock as well as wood, but if it's a problem he can add more wraps for greater thickness. I quenched and tempered to a purple-blue before the final sharpening.
