Club Obi Wan

I am looking to do a Temple of Doom Indy cosplay. I need a TOD Machete but you can't bring a metal Machete to a con. So I am looking at making a replica out of foam. I have been able to find pics online but I am looking for detailed measurements for me to base my foam machete. I want to make it as realistic as possible.
These measurements would include things like the handle length, the handle width, blade width, etc. Does anyone have the Noble Collection Temple of Doom Machete that would be willing to give me some measurements?

Thanks for your consideration.

I have the United Cutlery Kyber Bowie knife and can get you those measurements if no one responds with the Noble Collection measurements.

Also, please post pictures when it is complete, I would love to see the finished product!

Jack Shannon...Thank you for your offer. One of the other members on the board was kind enough to send me pics and measurements. I will be sure to post pics when the project is done.

Late to the game, but in case other members are interested.

where to find it ???

Wow, Jeff! That blade is quite the looker!

Thanks. It is a very nice piece. I far prefer it to the United Cutlery knife that was produced. This machete closely matches what Indy used in TOD. The blade is fully metal and heavy and more than I would want to lug around for a day of cosplay. Though there are 18" toy versions that are decent enough to fit the bill.

Like most IJ collectibles, it was a short lived production. They do show up from time to time on the secondary/auction market.

Indiana Jeff...thanks for the pics and measurements. Can you tell me how thick the top edge of the bade is? Can you also tell me how thick the handle is at the very bottom and the thickness just before the handle meets the blade? I saw a side view and the handle looks a lot thicker at the bottom versus near the blade.

Thanks again!

Here you go.
