This functional machete is simply a monster. Constructed from high carbon steel, the 18 ½-inch straight back blade is perfect for slashing through thick vegetation. The rough stone finish and slash design on the blade gives a unique touch while keeping your blade from looking battered and beaten after heavy use. This blade runs full tang through two thick slabs of sheesham wood, which have been expertly carved and contoured for an excellent grip. Tackle all of your outdoor needs whether it be in your backyard or the deep depths of the wilderness when you have this behemoth of a knife by your side. Included with your purchase is a fitted hand tooled sheath so you can carry your new toy wherever you go.
