It’s true that some of the best Kukris (like our Gurkha model) can be somewhat expensive, and while that “thoroughbred” performs extraordinarily well, sometimes what’s required is a good, inexpensive, “workhorse” model – and our Kukri Machetes are those workhorses! Available in two sizes (one with thirteen inch blade and one with a whopping seventeen inch blade) our Kukri Machetes are ready to plow through the toughest chores! Perfect as a lighter-weight bushcraft or camping tool that can be carried on a belt or lashed to a pack, our Kukri Machetes pack a great deal of value into a relatively small, light and inexpensive package. Review: Well worth the money great cross between a small ax and a mechete - Can do must of the chopping work of a small-medium ax and all the duties of a machete. Very well made very well put together. Size is about perfect in it will pack well but still big enough to handle any chopping task shy of cutting down a larger diameter tree. Will chop kindling and firewood well especially if you use a small log as a mallet to assist in spitting wood. I feel a must have camping and survival tool. Sheath is also well made and not all cheaply done. Well worth the price you really get your moneys worth from this chopping tool. Like to add when I bought this Cold Steel Royal Kukri machete I also bought a Accusharp carbide blade knife sharpener. The Cold steel Kukri came only OK sharp. Yes it would cut you, but I felt it to dull for my liking. So I did 50 passes with the Accusharp, tested the blade for improvement and repeated, 50 test, 50 test etc. After 250 passes the Cold Steel Kukri was very sharp and no doubt I could get it even sharper as it's sharpness improved noticeably with every 50 passes of the sharpener, but I got it sharp enough to cut anything I will need to with minimal effort. All in all I can highly recommend both the Cold Steel Kukri Machete and the Accusharp knife sharpener. Review: A Great Classic Cutlass Sword, at Machette Prices - From the male of the family. I wanted a couple of fighting swords for home defense, and this Cold Steel cutlass is certainly one of my picks. We have a large property, with lots of wildlife on it as well, including javelina (in the pig family), bobcats, coyotes, and more, so it's nice to have a hefty longknife at my side while working out there. Of course, call it a machete and you can get it for a far better price than most "swords," so that's fine with me. I was watching a video on knife fighting, and one of the instructors said, "if you get in a knife fight, don't ever think you're going to use your arm or body to block a blade. Your best defense is always, don't get cut. To that end, go for your attacker's knife hand." Then I remembered reading stories about battles from medieval times when women would go around after the fighting, and fill entire baskets with fingers. You know what I'm leading up to: if you're going to ever use a sword or longknife in self defense, you want to be sure and protect your hand. Most machetes and even a lot of swords don't do this for you. This cutlass does! That tough polypropylene handle will stop a blade -- or thorny branches, for that matter, if you're using it as a machete. We need the hand protection! As for the blade, it is 2 feet of high carbon steel. That means, it will take an edge. Mine came reasonably sharp, but not enough (and I do understand that it's a safety feature, not to ship a blade with it's keenest edge. The makers don't want your first experience to be slicing yourself!). A few minutes with a file, then stone, and I had a wicked edge. The handle is 6 inches long, and fits my hand very well. I like that the blade has a baked on anti-rust finish, and that the cutlass came with a canvas sheath. This is a great price for what you get! Recommended. ## Features - The Barong heralds from Southeast Asia, where it is historically both an agricultural tool and an effective weapon during wartime; Has an impressive lineage in the realm of Filipino Martial Culture and is still used by Martial Artists to this day - Features a beautifully curved 18 inch leaf-shaped blade and is an excellent bushcraft tool, cleaving vines and branches with ease - Traditionally influenced down-turned polypropylene handle is not only good looking, but it also helps anchor the blade in the hand when making hard chopping or slashing strokes - Made of tough and durable 1055 Carbon Steel with black baked-on anti-rust matte finish for extra protection - Steel: 1055 Carbon Steel w/Black Baked on Anti Rust Matte Finish - Overall Length: 24 1/2" - Weight: 24oz (Approx.) - Handle: 6 1/2" Long Polypropylene - Sheath: Cor-Ex ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BD53HZ6 | | Best Sellers Rank | #19,831 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #7 in Gardening Machetes | | Blade Length | 18 Inches | | Blade Material Type | Carbon Steel | | Brand Name | Cold Steel | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (4,706) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00705442010814 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Polypropylene | | Included Components | Machete, Sheath | | Item Dimensions L x W | 30.5"L x 5"W | | Item Length | 24.5 Inches | | Item Type Name | Machete | | Item Weight | 0.9 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | GSM LLC | | Product Style | Barong Machete | | UPC | 705442010814 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Knives & Blades: We stand behind our products 100%.

One in very bad taste? Or just a really sick excuse of a practical joke!!! Now I once had an uncle, who lived on a farm, up in Washington. He asked one of my other uncles if he could use one of his hunting rifles to kill off a pack of roving wild dogs. Wild dogs that apparently, had acquired a bad habit of killing off some of his sheep. In a situation like that, I could completely understand. But if you live within city limits, or hell!! In the suburbs like me, the last thing I'd ever recommend is for someone to kill off some gophers with a machete!!!! I could give a d#%* about how bad a gopher problem they have!!! Have you ever considered about calling a professional extermination company( or a good psychiatrist )? Or better yet, what I'd do!! Like calling your local humane society!!! They would be able to do a more humane and efficient manner of taking care of your supposed 'gopher' problem. NOT WITH A MACHETE YOU SICK LUNATIC!!!! **Q: Can i buy a differt sheath for in on amizon if so where** A: I made a kidex Sheath and it better way better, that's the way to go every time **Q: Are these factory 2nds?** A: No, though understand this isn't intended to be a premium line its a working tool. They are effective and readily sharpened by a file. I was amazed at the tree limbs I use it on also great is cutting small trees flush to the ground so nothing to trip over... if I wack the dirt no big deal its easy to resharpen when I'm done abusing it. **Q: does the sheath have a belt loop** A: yes, has belt loop. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well worth the money great cross between a small ax and a mechete *by A***R on July 24, 2024* Can do must of the chopping work of a small-medium ax and all the duties of a machete.

I like Big Knives and I cannot lie . This 25" blade came out of the box SHARP. It did have a little excess oil on the blade, but that just shows that Cold Steel cares about sending their blades protected from rust. Great quality control! Now then, after a run over a strop, it seemed adequately honed and ready for action. At the log pile, it delivered several hard chops and threw chunks impressively. I was a bit concerned over the blade seeming thin at 2.8 mm, but it cut well, and stayed fairly sharp. No vibration was evident. It is LARGE, and won't be riding my hip any time soon, but it is meant for the canoe anyway. I can tell that it WILL be a workout in an extended session, but that's okay. The sheath is very simple and doesn't have molle capability but I can work around that. The price at $35.00 is a steal. I would recommend this beast for anyone that wants a big knife! ## Frequently Bought Together - Cold Steel All Purpose Tactical Machete with Sheath, Great for Clearing Brush, Survival, Camping and Outdoor Activities, Barong Machete - Cold Steel All Purpose Tactical Machete with Sheath, Great for Clearing Brush, Survival, Camping and Outdoor Activities, Gladius Machete, One Size,Black - Cold Steel All Purpose Tactical Machete with Sheath, Great for Clearing Brush, Survival, Camping and Outdoor Activities, Thai Machete, One Size --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/6471523-cold-steel-all-purpose-tactical-machete-with-sheath](https://www.desertcart.is/products/6471523-cold-steel-all-purpose-tactical-machete-with-sheath) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
