The machete is crafted from 65 Mn High Carbon Steel, known for its durability and edge retention. The blade surface is treated with a baked-on anti-rust matte black finish to withstand demanding environments. The durable polypropylene handle is ergonomically shaped to prevent slipping from your grasp, even when your palms are sweaty or you are working in the rain.

Historical Context: From Agriculture to Survival
The machete has its roots in tropical regions, where it originally served purely as an agricultural tool for harvesting sugar cane and clearing paths in the jungle. Its design has evolved over centuries, with this specific model featuring a "Latin" or "Panga" style blade referencing classic shapes used in South America and Africa. Historically, machetes often became improvised weapons during uprisings, but their primary purpose has always been linked to work and survival. Today, this tool is a symbol of bushcraft and outdoor activities, combining the history of hard labour with modern materials.
How to Care for Your Machete
To ensure the machete serves you well for many years, it requires a little care. The blade is made of carbon steel, meaning it is prone to rust if left damp. Therefore, clean and thoroughly dry it after every use. For long-term protection, I recommend regularly treating the blade with a layer of mineral oil or gun oil, especially before storing it for extended periods. The polypropylene handle is maintenance-free; simply wiping it with a damp cloth is sufficient. Never leave the machete inside a damp sheath for long periods.
Safety Warnings
Although this machete is robust, please remember that it is a tool designed for chopping soft to medium-hard materials (wood, vegetation). It is not designed for prying, throwing, or chopping into stone, metal, or concrete, as this could irreparably damage the edge. Always be aware that this is a sharp weapon. Exercise caution when handling it to avoid injury to yourself or others nearby. This product is not intended for contact sparring or combat training against another person.
