This machete was made by various makers. I have no information on the numbers issued.
British Golok Style
Elwell
Elwell are a British firm that also supplied Machetes to the British Army
Australian troops used the Elwell Golok style machete in Malaya and Vietnam. The machetes were
probably supplied to them by the British while they were in Malaya, as the Australian units which
fought during Confrontation did so as part of a larger British and Commonwealth force under overall
British command.
The Australian Golok machete that was subsequently made at Lithgow and then issued to
Australian troops appears to have been based on the design.
The machete was issued with a canvas sheath that included a sharpening stone.
