Engineered for military personnel, outdoor survivalists, bushcraft enthusiasts, and trail-clearing crews requiring reliable chopping power, the Ontario Knife Company OKC 18-Inch Field Packaged Machete is a heavy-duty outdoor tool. Precision-crafted in the USA from 1095 high-carbon steel, this rugged 18-inch blade features full-tang construction with a protective black zinc-phosphate finish for superior corrosion resistance and reduced glare.

Equipped with a shatterproof, ergonomically molded high-impact polymer handle secured with solid steel rivets, this field-packaged machete provides maximum leverage and a secure grip in demanding wilderness environments.
How To Use
-
Chopping & Slicing: Grip the molded handle firmly near the base and swing in a fluid, angled downward arc to slice through vines, vegetation, and small limbs.
-
Clearing Brush: Maintain a steady rhythm while clearing thick underbrush, allowing the weight of the 18-inch high-carbon steel blade to carry the stroke.
-
Maintenance & Storage: Clean the high-carbon steel blade thoroughly after field use, dry immediately, and apply a light coat of gun oil or mineral oil to prevent surface rust.
