We've taken our popular Small Personal Machete and improved it. The shape of the short powerful blade is unchanged, but we're using a tougher grade of steel. The handle is now made of Pakkawood, a resin hardened, weather-resistant, composite wood. It looks like an adornment, but that wire is all function. We've added a bolster to keep your grip in place no matter how hard you swing. Go to town on weeds and branches, this machete can take it. Combined with its superb leather sheath, this is an awe-inspiring tool. Overall length is 16 1/2''. Blade length 10 1/2''.
