Description
Field Machete
The Ontario Knife Field Machete is a long, straight-bladed chopper for clearing brush, cutting back vines and saplings, and opening a trail through overgrowth. A closed D-guard handle protects the hand while you swing, so it suits campers, hunters, landowners and anyone who keeps a cutting tool in the truck or pack.
Features
- D-Guard Handle — A closed loop of molded polymer wraps around the knuckles, shielding them from brush and stopping the hand from sliding forward onto the blade.
- Textured Polymer Grip — Angled ridges molded into the handle give the palm something to hold when the work gets sweaty or wet.
- Black Blade Finish — The blade carries a dark, non-reflective finish that matches the black handle.
- Straight-Backed Blade — A long, straight spine and edge put weight behind each stroke for chopping and slashing through vegetation.
- Rounded Tip — The tip curves to a blunt, rounded profile that is less likely to snag on branches or the ground mid-swing.
- Lanyard Hole — A hole through the top of the handle takes a cord or wrist lanyard, or lets you hang the machete on a hook.
- Maker's Stamping — Ontario markings are stamped into the blade just ahead of the handle.
Built for Real Work
Ontario Knife Company built this machete for practical work, and the layout is simple: one long blade, one tough polymer handle, and a guard that keeps your fingers clear of thorns and swinging debris. The all-black look keeps it plain and low-profile on a pack or in a vehicle.

Hold it tight.Incredible machete. Very tough, VERY sharp. Can't bend it. It will last a long time . Only one thing, if you're not used to a D handle tool, be careful. If you're not holding it tightly enough, your hand can move and whack the inside of the D when the machete stops in the wood. But if you wear gloves, and/or hold it tightly enough, that doesn't happen. It was only after the 1st whack for me. You should anyway, just have a firm grip on it. Very nice tool. And couldn't beat the price. Must've been last year's model because it wasn't on Ontario Knife's site. No matter. It's a great tool.

Great build qualitySolid build! Edge was sharp out of the box. The blade was also straight.

capable but read the reviewsDecent for the price. Everyone says this in the reviews but what does it mean? It came with and edge, not something you could cut paper or steak with, but and edge that felt sharp. For 1/2 inch branches, it holds up fine. I swung low and caught a rock - instant chip. The heat treat or metal could be better to solve this but it feels good in the hand.
Update: Months later - I love it. No major issues after lots of use. 8" trees and all sizes of bushes and vines are no match. Buy a sharpening stone. Cut the hand guard at the bottom and grind smooth to keep from crushing your pinky on a strong blow.
