    This machetes in pretty rough condition but still works great. The handle looks like it's made out of some type of horn. The manufacture is Mundos. The logo is two worlds latitude and longitude lines overlapping each other. The name Pages Hermanos is on the blade. The blade number is 127.
    The leather sheath on the other hand has the name Demetrio Salas on it.
    My guess is Latin American made but I'm really not sure.
    Blunderbuss, you seem to know your way around a knife.

      LOL jono, I'm no expert on machetes but maybe the closest CW will find. I've taken my workers in to hardware stores & let them pick out what they liked the "feel" & design of or bought what I was given a description of. There are many styles for different jobs & "that feel". I've traveled the cane fields with owner friends etc. but didn't make a serious study of the "knives". Yours looks well made, Spanish, and made for clearing high growth instead of cane. Is it a plastic or wood handle as both can split like that. Workers don't like plastic because when sweaty, it gets slippery. Your sheath is a work of art so definitely not made by a West Indian. Leather is more abundant in S. Amer. so that is my guess. I've never seen a sheath in the "wayward islands". To carry one in public in these areas, they have to have the blade covered in something like news paper or cloth. To carry an "open blade" could bring the police. Nice piece you have.

      Well my bubble has been burst blunderbuss. :)
      The handle is made out of some type of horn.

      Jono, glue your bubble back together as horn is a lot better better. Not quite like plastic. Bone would be better though. And yes, I'm trying to make you feel better.
