Features
- 11-Inch SK5 Carbon Steel Blade — Hollow-ground SK5 high carbon steel holds a working edge and bites deep into brush, branches, and seasoned wood.
- 52–54 HRC Hardness — Heat-treated to a tough chopping hardness that resists chipping while staying easy to re-sharpen in the field.
- Full-Tang Construction — Single piece of steel runs the full length of the handle for the strength you need when batoning or clearing heavy growth.
- Cutlass Blade Profile — Forward belly and drop-point tip concentrate weight where it matters, multiplying chopping power on every swing.
- 0.165-Inch Blade Thickness — Thick spine resists flex and torquing during heavy lateral cuts and prying tasks around camp.
- Black Kraton G / TPR Handle — Textured thermoplastic rubber grip stays planted in wet, sweaty, or gloved hands and absorbs shock through long work sessions.
- 16.5-Inch Overall Length — 11" blade paired with a 5.5" handle gives you reach without the unwieldy length of a traditional Latin machete.
- Leather/Cordura Sheath Included — Hybrid sheath with a leather-edged Cordura body protects the blade and rides comfortably on a belt or pack.
- 1.1-Pound Working Weight — Balanced heft drives the blade through cuts without wearing out your arm on long clearing jobs.

A very practical camp bladeThe weight and ergonomics of this blade are fantastic, and the blade balance makes it ideal for splitting firewood. I prefer it to a hatchet for backpacking due to its versatility and performance. Some reviews have brought attention to the quality of the sheath, and I can see how that might become an issue if it is worn at the belt like a scabbard. I keep mine strapped in to the side of my backpack and treat it more like a blade and gear protector. In this role it has performed admirably under stress for several years now without a sign of distress. I highly recommend this blade.
