Cold Steel Two-Handed Latin Machete with Sheath (21″)

The Cold Steel 21 Inch Two-Handed Latin Machete is a testament to the robust utility of the classic Latin machete, enhanced with an extra-long handle to comfortably accommodate both single- and two-handed use. This design provides superior leverage and allows for powerful, limb-lopping strokes while still offering the control needed for more delicate, precision cuts in tight quarters. It is an exceptional tool for farm work, forest clearing, and wilderness expeditions, delivering immense “horsepower” for tough jobs.

Key Features:

• Blade Material: Primarily constructed from tough 1055 High Carbon Steel. Some versions may specify 65Mn steel, both materials known for their excellent durability, resilience, and ability to hold a sharp edge even under strenuous use. The blade features a spring temper for added flexibility and resistance to breakage.
• Blade Finish: Features a durable black baked-on anti-rust matte finish, which provides superior corrosion resistance and a non-reflective surface, ideal for rugged outdoor conditions.
• Blade Design: A 21-inch Latin-style blade, characterized by its straight back and broad profile, optimized for efficient chopping and slashing. The full tang construction extends through the entire length of the extra-long handle, ensuring maximum strength and stability.
• Handle: Equipped with a 9-inch long, textured hard polypropylene handle. This extended handle allows for comfortable and secure two-handed grip, significantly increasing leverage and chopping power, while still being well-balanced enough for effective one-handed use. The material is rugged, resisting chipping, cracking, or breaking.
• Sheath: Comes with a heavy-duty black Cor-Ex® sheath. This durable sheath provides safe storage and transport, featuring a generously sized belt loop for convenient carry in the field.
