Why the Shogun team finds this machete special

What immediately stood out to us is the combination of historical design with modern production techniques. The classic cutlass shape adds character, while the polypropylene hand guard provides modern protection. The substantial weight of 950 grams inspires confidence during use.

Materials and finish of this machete

The blade is crafted from high-quality 1055 carbon steel with a hardness of 56 HRC. The matte anti-rust coating protects against corrosion but does require maintenance. The polypropylene handle with hand guard offers a secure grip and protection during intensive use.

Grip, balance and handling

With its 950 grams, this machete has a forward-balanced weight that supports chopping motions. The ergonomic handle sits comfortably in the hand, while the hand guard prevents your hand from slipping onto the blade. The plain-edge cutting edge allows for smooth slicing.

Who is this machete suitable for?

Perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, bushcrafters and campers seeking a reliable cutting tool. Also suitable for garden work such as pruning branches. The robust design makes it ideal for demanding tasks where an ordinary knife falls short. Less suitable for fine precision work.

Maintenance and durability

Carbon steel requires regular maintenance – keeping it dry and lightly oiled prevents rust. The included nylon sheath protects the blade during storage. With proper care, the anti-rust coating remains effective for years and the blade retains its sharpness excellently.
