Description
Designed for military personnel, outdoor survivalists, bushcraft enthusiasts, and trail-clearing crews requiring dual-purpose chopping and sawing power, the Ontario Knife Company 18-Inch Military Sawback Machete is a heavy-duty field tool. Precision-crafted in the USA from 1095 high-carbon steel, this rugged 18-inch blade features a full-tang construction with a protective black zinc-phosphate finish for corrosion resistance and low visibility. The spine of the blade is outfitted with aggressive, deep-cut saw teeth engineered for rapidly clearing branches, limbs, and thick brush. Equipped with a shatterproof, ergonomically molded high-impact polymer handle secured with solid steel rivets, this military-issue machete provides maximum leverage and a secure grip in harsh, demanding wilderness conditions.
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.
-
Sawing Functions: Place the sawback teeth on the top spine against branches, limbs, or wood blocks, applying even pressure while pulling and pushing to cut through timber.
-
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 before sheathing.
