Cold Steel Tactical Tanto Machete

Become a jungle samurai with the Tactical Tanto Machete. This sleek fixed blade uses the nimble shape and frame of a Japanese tanto sword, with an updated design for brute force tasks. The narrow, even belly slices deftly through branches, vines, and bushes, while the reinforced tip can plunge through any thicket with the strength and precision that only a tanto blade can offer. A polypropylene mold imitates the traditional cord wrapped handle with a rigid grip that won’t warp, rot, or shrink in the outdoors. A tough cordura sheath is included for storage and carry.

• Traditional Japanese tanto sword design
• Black powder coating is wear and corrosion resistant

• Steel guard protects your hands from slipping onto the blade
• Cor-Ex sheath allows for convenient belt carry

Pro tip:
Black powder coating is used to protect the blade from corrosion and rust. The matte finish also provides tactical benefits: it eliminates glare in sunny conditions and offers camouflage for night operations.
