This would look awesome in a display with my Harrison Ford TOD screen used STUNT machete. It's made of resin, and there's a big dent where it hit the bridge.

How about sharing a photo of your stunt machette? Curious to see how close it is to the original.

I'll break it out tonight. Strangely, I haven't TAKEN any pics. It doesn't look like much. In fact, when I bought it many many many years ago, I was the laughingstock the Indyfan forum
I bought it from Paul Harrison when he first started dealing props.

Thanks for posting the pic. It does look like it would be the "stunt" double for the real Machette.

Hey yeah. Comparing it to the hero sword, the hilt looks like it has the same basic shape, similar paint application. Man it'd look so good to have both in a display case
Anyways, quite interesting, considering a lot of stunt machetes are of the "lions head" type.

If your first name is Nick, you actually have the same name then
