Cold Steel has spent years testing short bladed Machete shapes, and the Tanto blade has been the most successful in terms of application. While the "Americanized Tanto" is known primarily for its combat functions, it can be used as a practical multi-purpose bushcraft blade too. The Tanto Machete has solid full-tang construction and is outfitted with tough a polypropylene handle. This massive knife includes a Cor-Ex sheath.
