Our expert's notes

A sacrificial machete from Francis Ford Coppola's Oscar®-winning Vietnam War epic Apocalypse Now. The indigenous Montagnards used their machetes for the controversial scene involving the sacrifice of the water buffalo, which took place during the brutal killing of Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando) by Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) in the ruined temple.

The machete is made of steel, with a wood grip and wicker band detailing. Faux-silver paint has been applied to the leading edges of the blade, which remains sharpened. The weapon is retained in a handmade wooden scabbard, with wicker strap loops allowing it to be worn on the belt or over the shoulder. The weapon exhibits some corrosion along the blade, with wear to the wooden scabbard from production use. Dimensions (sheathed): 37.5 cm x 8 cm x 0.5 cm (14 ¾" x 3 ¼" x ¼")
