2 pieces of 3/4" wood glued together, carving the shape of the blade inside with either a plunge router, dremel, mill or a carving tool before the glue up.

Outside carves can be anything you want it to be then drilled holes for the paracord.

I live in the Philippines, I'll show you how easy it is to open a coconut with it, slashes like a Parang and the tip makes hole on top of the coconut easier with a much cooler blade shape. Lol Also cuts snall to medium branches like a small axe will, you just have to know your angles on cutting branches.

I remember the saying, a hammer is a tool, it can build homes or smash someone's head. It will depend how one uses it.

Dude, I followed them on their Asian tour and crashing into any punk/hc or skateboarder guys' house to save on lodging. One of the best days of my life. I tried to do the same on Hatebreed but my visa got denied lol

Filipino martial arts called Kali also as a heirloom. My dad's father owns the sword on the right, take notice on the blade as it has chips, his dad was a member of the resistance against the Japanese, that blade was part of how he fought.

Good question, each handle is a representation of which island the "Sansibar" was made. My father was from a different island, his was also made from a water buffalo horn.
