At Bladetricks we like short, thin and compact machetes you can carry in a day backpack:
The first Leuko-Machete was 5 mm thick, and we wanted to make it a bit thinner this time.
We generally set toughness before hardness as we consider knives tools.

The final result is a 32,5 cm long, fast cutting beast made of 3 mm thick shock resistant 6150 spring steel:
After some heat treatment tests in our workshop we reached the desired hardness for our 6150 spring steel machetes (more models coming soon).
This is the final result:
