The Cold Steel Tactical Katana Machete isĀ designed to offer the best of both worlds - the cutting performance of a sword and the durability of a machete. Its deeply curved blade allows for swift and efficient cutting, making it perfect for clearing brush, chopping wood, or any other outdoor tasks that require a powerful cutting tool.
Crafted with a broad full tang and a solid steel tsuba, this machete is built to last. The injection over-molded high impact polymer handle provides a comfortable and secure grip, ensuring that you have full control during use. We've spared no expense in re-creating the look of a traditional cord wrapped handle, fushi, and kashira, using modern materials that are resistant to shrinkage, warping, tarnishing, and rotting.
The blade of the Tactical Katana Machete is made from 1055 carbon steel, which is known for its exceptional strength and durability. With a black baked matte finish, the blade not only looks sleek but also provides added protection against corrosion. Fully sharpened by Cold Steel, you can trust that this machete is ready to take on any cutting task you throw at it.
Measuring at 24 inches in length, the blade of the Tactical Katana Machete is perfect for both precision cuts and powerful swings. The overall length of the machete is 36 1/4 inches, providing you with a comfortable and balanced feel. It weighs 35.2 ounces, making it lightweight enough to carry and use for extended periods without causing fatigue.
To ensure ease of carry and storage, the Tactical Katana Machete comes complete with a Cor-Ex back sheath. This sheath not only protects the blade from damage but also allows for quick and convenient access when needed.
