A Great All-Purpose Utility knife for chopping down weeds, preparing a camp site or for cutting down small branches.
Product Description:
If you were suddenly castaway on a desert island or stranded in the wilderness or a jungle, what's the one tool you would want at your side? The answer is a good machete.
Over the last three centuries, the Machete has been proven to be the ultimate Outdoor and Survival tool. It will cut, chop, slash, hack, split, scrape, scoop, hammer, dig, crush, carve, whittle, crack or smash just about anything you can put in front of it.
The machete also makes a deadly improvised weapon. It can be used to kill both fish and game and will gut, scale, filet, skin, quarter, and butcher them for the table as well. And when you look at its meager cost, it's got to be one of the best bargains for hard earned cash in the world.
In fact it's so cheap and useful that even the poorest peasant in South America or tribesman in Africa invariably owns one and counts on it as one of his most precious possessions.
The blade is made out of 1055 Carbon Steel with a tough spring temper and are surfaced with a black, baked-on anti-rust finish. Each Cold Steel® Machete comes with a good utility edge which, with just a little work, can be made hair shaving sharp.
The tough, indestructible Polypropylene handle of the Panga Machete is designed to provide a comfortable secure grip, and they are rugged enough to resist chipping, cracking or breaking, so they last practically forever.
The standard machete for the entire African continent. This one is excellent for cutting thick brush and chopping down saplings and small trees. In addition, it makes a fearsome Emergency Weapon tool.
The Machete comes with a Nylon Belt Sheath.
