Collins Heavy Machete/Knife

[Aragorn243]

I really don't have a ton of information on these and the nomenclature is all over the place. Most call it a Collins knife because that is the company that made them. These were also produced prior to WWI and some say were in inventory for the Spanish American War. I included a US Kabar style knife for size comparison. These are huge, they are also heavy, over 1/4 inch thick at the top of the blade. These two are nearly identical in size and shape. Having them one over the other produces the illusion the lower blade is flatter but it is not. The one is unmarked that I can see, not uncommon. This is the one with the smaller rivets and the metal cap on the handle. The other is marked but all but the model number is difficult to read.
