Cold Steel Tactical Tanto 18.6" Machete with Sheath | 1055 Carbon Steel, Anti-Rust Matte Finish, CS97BTMZ

We’ve prototyped a whole host of different short bladed Machete shapes over the years, but the Tanto remains one of the best we’ve tested. Although the “Americanized Tanto” is known primarily for its combative application, it also makes an excellent multi-purpose bushcraft blade. In our tests, the Tanto Machete cut and pierced exceptionally well while remaining tough enough to endure hard use. Its solid full-tang construction and hard wearing weather-resistant polypropylene handle only add to its durability and functionality.
