The intent with this was to make something resembling a cutlass, however, I changed my mind half way through forging and went for a straight spine instead and seem to have ended up with a machete Machete or not as far as I am concerned it's a short sword Length over all is a shade over 22 inches (16.5 inch blade), blade just over an inch and a half deep and tapering from 6mm at the handle to 3mm at the tip (all approx. and sorry about the mixed metric and imperial.....)

The blade taken to 400 grit:



View along the spine to try and show the taper (not too well unfortunately):
