No mention what type of wood, I think it would have to be a hardwood. Doodado

I'm not exactly sure what type of wood it is because it came off an old tree house but I'll tell you as soon as I find out.

this instructable is nice, but it definately can be better. referencing to advantages and drawbacks of such a weapon (or cutting tool) would be much appreciated, because i certainly don't want to use something like this for cutting my steak in the evening...

I used to make these all the time when I was a kid!

It seems misleading to call this a 'knife' or 'machete', you're better off calling it a shiv.
