The smatchet in the hands of Pyreaux is the very first one I produced at the direction of Col. Rex Applegate for him.
I hadn't held that one in a long time until Pyreaux hand carried it to Blade Show in Atlanta this year.
The date is either 1986 of 1988.
Al Mar introduced me to Col. Rex Applegate in 1984 the same year I moved to this location.
I was given leeway to try and make the handle a bit more user friendly.
I also hand built all the prototypes used for further production of the Applegate Smatchet.
