Cold Steel Chinese Sword Machete – Model 97TCHS – 24″ Carbon Steel Blade with Cor-Ex Sheath

Description:

This is not a machete in the traditional sense. It is a modern hybrid—a tool that draws its silhouette from the legendary Chinese Dadao war sword, a weapon that saw brutal close-quarters combat in the Second Sino-Japanese War, but is built with the rugged, no-nonsense materials of the 21st century. The result is a blade that is both a formidable brush-clearing tool and a surprisingly agile implement of martial arts. Its super wide, deeply curved 24-inch blade is plasma-cut from expertly heat-treated 1055 carbon steel, a material prized for its durability and ability to hold a keen edge under heavy use. The blade is covered in a baked-on matte black anti-rust finish that eliminates reflections and resists corrosion. The elongated 14-inch polypropylene handle is the defining feature of this design. It is over-molded in one piece with the full-tang construction for maximum durability, and features a textured cord-wrap pattern for a secure, high-traction grip. The blade-heavy forward balance delivers devastating cleaving power, making short work of thick brush, saplings, and even small trees. It comes with a durable black Cor-Ex back sheath with an integrated shoulder strap and dual snap closures for safe storage and convenient carry . This is a heavy-duty, functional tool. The blade is in great condition, sharp, and free of rust, ready for the trail, the yard, or the collection.
