Added pics and specs to CS-97THM Cold Steel Two Handed Machete

Some big cutting jobs are often best handled by using both hands and that’s where our two handed machete comes into its own. Its long polypropylene handle and tough 1055 carbon steel blade give you the leverage to cut down small trees as well as thick brush and tangled vines. Weighing just under two pounds and measuring 32″ in overall length, it’s light and compact enough to lash to your pack and is a natural to stash in your vehicle, boat, or airplane.

Added pics and specs to CS-97SP12S Cold Steel Spear Point Machete 12in

This centuries old blade style is very popular in Central and East Africa as well as parts of South America. This is because of its nearly inexhaustible, “all-around” versatility. It cuts, chops, and slashes like the best of them, plus, it possesses a sharp enough point to make it useful for piercing and performing more delicate utility jobs usually left to a smaller knife. It is available in 12 and 18-inch blade lengths.

Added pics and specs to CS-97SA18S Cold Steel Sax Machete 18in

Like its historical counterpart, it has a wide blade and straight cutting edge and the characteristic downward sloping point. The Cold Steel Sax Machete is available in 12 and 18-inch blade lengths.

Added pics and specs to CS-97MKM Cold Steel Magnum Kukri Machete

There’s no single edged weapon that we can think of that can out-chop or out-cut a good Kukri. It’s true that some of the best Kukris, like our Gurkha model, can be somewhat expensive, and while that “thoroughbred” performs extraordinarily well for the money that it costs, it sometimes seems that what’s required is a good, inexpensive, “workhorse” model. Our Kukri Machetes are those workhorses.

Added pics and specs to CS-97HM Cold Steel Heavy Machete

The heaviest machete we make (with the exception of the Two Handed model). The blade widens toward the tip for maximum cutting and chopping power.

Added pics and specs to CS-97DEM Cold Steel Double Edge Machete

Versatile. That, period, paragraph, is the only word to describe this machete. Perhaps you might keep one edge thin for the light vegetation and the other a little on the thicker side for the heavier stuff. Or keep both edges equally sharp so that when one edge gets dull after heavy use, you can flip it over and keep on going. Two edges beats one every time!
