Cold Steel Thai Machete – 22″ Carbon Steel Brush 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 elegant long-bladed swords of Southeast Asia, but is built with the rugged, no-nonsense materials of the 21st century. It is the culmination of over four years of development by Cold Steel, inspired by the traditional Thai swords that president Lynn Thompson encountered during his decades of training in Muay Thai and Krabi Krabong . The result is a blade that is both a formidable brush-clearing tool and a surprisingly agile implement of martial arts. Its long, single-edged blade features a straight spine that sweeps upward into a distinct, curved tip—a profile that lends itself to devastating sweeping cuts. The blade is forged from tough 1055 carbon steel, a material prized for its durability and ability to hold a keen edge under heavy use . It is covered in a baked-on matte black anti-rust finish that eliminates reflections and resists corrosion. The elongated 14.5-inch polypropylene handle is the defining feature of this design. It allows for a two-handed grip, providing immense leverage for chopping through thick brush, while still being light enough to swing one-handed for quick, precise strikes . The handle is molded with deep, parallel ridges for a high-traction grip, and is fitted with a steel-reinforced guard to prevent the hand from sliding onto the edge . A flared pommel completes the hilt, ensuring a secure hold. Whether you are clearing a trail, practicing traditional forms, or simply adding a formidable piece to your collection, the Thai Machete is a versatile and reliable companion. It comes complete with a Cor-Ex sheath for safe storage and transport .
