Overview

Cold Steel Cutlass Machete

This Machete blade has been given the clipped thrusting point of naval cutlass and is fitted into a polypropylene grip with a characteristic knuckle bar. The grip is hard enough that the knuckle bar does provide good protection for the hand, whilst doubling as a sort of knuckle duster should the opportunity arise.

The blade is crafted from slightly sharpened 1055 high carbon steel with a anti-rust black matte finish. A pre-drilled hole is fitted to the grip to allow for a lanyard to be fitted.

The machete comes with a Cor-Ex Nylon sheath with a hardened protective tip and a grip-retaining buttoned strap and an integrated belt loop.

    Well worth it It’s not a razor but it is a comfortable and affordable functional tool for camping. I’ve put mine through its paces and it holds up well. Put your own edge on it and have a blast. The plastic handle is a little slippery bare handed. I roughed up mine to get a better grip.

  2. Grom

    Good value for a cheap cutter I don’t use this for any serious practice – just chopping stuff up for fun, and it excels at that purpose. KoA’s sharpening service brought it to me with a nice, clean edge… MUCH better than Cold Steel’s factory edge, which can be atrociously jagged, almost serrated (no exaggeration). Trust me, it’s worth it to pay a little more to get it with a proper edge already on it.

    Light, but blade-heavy, but I expected that from a polymer hilted ‘sword’. The blade flexes decently and returns to true. I used the loop to wrap my grip in paracord, which improved it greatly and is very inexpensive.

    I like it as much as my CS Gladius machete, though I prefer a single edged blade for cutting tests. Really, it’s all I could ask for in a cheap chopper, so for that, it gets full marks.

    Not at all back to the price. If you have a little bit of extra cash pick one up and add it to your collection. Not a bad buy by any means.

    I bought two and use them for practical training. The cutlass at first feels heavy and awkward, but with proper practice it becomes quite easy to do drills and exercises. It cuts with ease and one can apply all applications using this blade.
