But this profile nullifies its ability to thrust.
#COLD STEEL KATANA MACHETE BLANK FULL#
This is to allow for full swings in tight spaces without decreasing chopping power. For example, a cane machete usually looks like elongated cleaver with a blunt tip.
Regardless of which one captures your eye, here are some things you need to consider before putting your heart (and cash) on the line:īlade Profile: Each shape is crafted for a specific reason. Much like supermodels, machetes come in all shapes and sizes-from the exotic Nepalese kukri of Gurkha fame to the more familiar clip-point Bowie machete created in the United States. You’ll feel much better with one anytime you’re out camping or stranded in the middle of nowhere. Leave it in the trunk of your car or stowed in your off-road rig along with your spare water, flashlight, and road flares. While a bushcraft knife is certainly better than empty hands, a machete can give you greater reach, a longer cutting edge, and tremendous stabbing power.Ĭar Companion: For the previously mentioned purposes, the machete makes an ideal addition to any vehicle emergency kit. The CRKT Clever Girl Kukri comes with the latter type, which features both a friction lock and snap-button retention mechanisms.īackwoods Bodyguard: If you’re an outdoor adventurer who likes to hit the trail, the idea of facing off against a bear or a cougar while unarmed is frightening. Most quality sheaths will be made of either thick leather, nylon (with a plastic insert), or high-impact polymer. Sheath: Whatever machete you select, make sure it comes with a scabbard.
