Ka-Bar Cutlass Machete

The Ka-Bar Cutlass Machete is a heavy-duty fixed blade built for serious brush clearing, trail work, and bushcraft. Its 11-inch hollow-ground SK5 carbon steel blade carries a cutlass profile with a forward belly that drives weight into every chop, while the full tang and 0.165-inch spine handle batoning, prying, and tough lateral cuts. The textured Kraton G handle locks into your grip in wet or gloved conditions, and a leather-trimmed Cordura sheath keeps the blade secured on your belt or pack. A solid pick for campers, hunters, homesteaders, and anyone who needs a real working machete.

Features

  1. 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.
  2. 52–54 HRC Hardness — Heat-treated to a tough chopping hardness that resists chipping while staying easy to re-sharpen in the field.
  3. 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.
  4. Cutlass Blade Profile — Forward belly and drop-point tip concentrate weight where it matters, multiplying chopping power on every swing.
  5. 0.165-Inch Blade Thickness — Thick spine resists flex and torquing during heavy lateral cuts and prying tasks around camp.
  6. Black Kraton G / TPR Handle — Textured thermoplastic rubber grip stays planted in wet, sweaty, or gloved hands and absorbs shock through long work sessions.
  7. 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.
  8. Leather/Cordura Sheath Included — Hybrid sheath with a leather-edged Cordura body protects the blade and rides comfortably on a belt or pack.
  9. 1.1-Pound Working Weight — Balanced heft drives the blade through cuts without wearing out your arm on long clearing jobs.
  10. Backed by Ka-Bar Heritage — Built by one of America's most trusted blade makers with a reputation forged in over 120 years of hard-use cutlery.

    Picked up the Ka-Bar Cutlass Machete after seeing it compared to Cold Steel models on the forums. The 11 inch 1085 carbon blade (listed as SK5) feels thick and hefty at about 52-54 HRC, which is perfect for my collection of utility blades. The Kraton G handle is comfortable for long sessions and the sheath is decent though the lower snap is basically useless. Out of the box it had a slight storage smell but nothing major. Holds an edge way better than my old Tramontina.

    The 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.
