US Military Machete

The OKC US Military Machete is the classic 18-inch GI field blade that Ontario Knife Company has been producing to U.S. Government specifications since World War II. The blade is forged from 1095 high-carbon steel, hardened to 50–55 HRC, and finished in zinc phosphate to resist corrosion in harsh environments. A molded plastic D-handle keeps your grip locked in during heavy chopping, and the 0.12-inch blade stock gives it the weight to power through brush, branches, and camp tasks all day long. If you need an authentic military-pattern machete for the field, the truck, or the bug-out bag, this is the original.

Features

  1. 18-Inch 1095 Carbon Steel Blade — Full-length chopping blade built from tough 1095 high-carbon steel for serious edge retention and impact resistance.
  2. Zinc Phosphate Finish — Matte black corrosion-resistant coating shields the blade from rust and reduces glare in the field.
  3. Full Flat Taper Grind — Plain edge with a flat taper and flat bevel delivers efficient chopping geometry for brush, limbs, and heavy vegetation.
  4. 50–55 HRC Blade Hardness — Heat-treated to the sweet spot between edge holding and shock absorption, so it bites hard without chipping.
  5. 0.12" Blade Thickness — Heftier stock than econo-grade machetes for more authority through dense growth and resistance to abuse.
  6. Molded Plastic D-Handle — Fire-resistant, impact-tough handle with a secure grip profile that stands up to long work sessions.
  7. 24" Overall Length — Balanced reach for clearing trails, prepping firewood, and general camp work without becoming unwieldy.
  8. Built to U.S. Government Specifications — Manufactured by OKC under the same mil-spec pattern that has served U.S. troops since World War II.
  9. Made in the USA — Forged and assembled at Ontario Knife Company's New York facility for proven American quality.

    Bought this to clear a mess of blackberry vines and small saplings behind my shed and it didnt take long to see it was gonna do the JOB. 18 inches of 1095 steel and it still shaves hair after I ran a file over it a few times. The weight does most of the work, you just let it swing and it bites deep on green wood. Only thing is the edge came a little rough out of the box, not terrible but I touched it up before really using it hard. The handle is fine but gets slick once your hands are sweaty in July, I ended up wrapping mine with hockey tape. For the money I dont think you can beat it, and I keep it in the truck now for trimming when I'm out at the property.

    Steel takes and holds a good edge,18 inch blade has enough weight to chop branches up to your wrist

    Edge needed a touch up right out of the box
    Grip gets slick when your hands sweat
