The historic craftsmanship of Ontario Knife Co. lives on in this no-nonsense workhorse designed for both the wilderness and the workshop. Forged from tough 1095 carbon steel and finished with a corrosion-resistant black zinc phosphate coating, this machete means business. Its 18-inch straight belly edge offers efficient slicing, while the sawback spine provides added functionality when clearing brush or tackling light sawing tasks. The high-impact, full-tang polymer handle is shatterproof and securely molded for comfort and control even under harsh conditions. With an overall length of 23 and one-quarter inches, it strikes the ideal balance of reach and maneuverability. Arrives with a full flat taper and primary bevel, factory ground and ready for edge refinement. Made in the USA. Sheath not included. Please note these are built for performance, not polish—minor cosmetic blemishes are part of the machete’s rugged utilitarian DNA and not considered defects. Made in the USA.
Expert Tips:
Sharpen the blade to your preferred edge using a coarse to fine stone progression, especially along the straight belly where slicing efficiency matters most. If using the sawback regularly, clear out debris with a stiff brush to prevent buildup. Apply a light oil coating after each use to prevent oxidation on the carbon steel. For safe carry or storage, invest in a custom-fit sheath or military grade canvas cover, especially if you plan to take it into the field. This machete excels in dense undergrowth, camp prep, or even as a backup survival tool—just give it the edge it deserves.
