The Ka-Bar Cutlass Machete is a superb cutting tool ready to meet the challenge of any camp, field or yard work chores. The hollow grind on the wide cutlass shaped 11" blade gives you plenty of sharp cutting surface and blade length for any job. This blade has a well balanced 1 pound 6 ounces with an ergonomically efficient non-slip Kraton G handle and a large pommel. The weight and balance make it surprisingly easy to swing and chop thru forests of weeds, or branches and small trees. The Ka-Bar Cutlass Machete is a great tool for clearing yard brush, clearing a campsite, or blazing trails!

Having been in the milita
Having been in the military, kicked out of the military, and traveled the world, if I had a choice of how I would enter the Gates of Hell, this KA-Bar would be my weapon of choice to shove down Cerberus' throat!!!

This is a VERY well balan
This is a VERY well balanced weapon. I bought its curved brother also, and I like them both. These will come in handy for hunting or survival. I never mention it, but these guys are GREAT with their deliveries; very fast, nothing damaged. Keep up the good work.

This is a very versatile knife. I used it for everything from butchering to splitting kindling. I have even cut down trees up to 4'. Very sturdy, well made knife. Sheath is somewhat cheaply made, but who cares? I would have gladly paid much more for it without a sheath.

This is a great large bla
This is a great large blade knife for camp and/or survival use. It would also make an awesome self defense item. High quality steel, good black coating, heavy but well balanced and a cordura sheath to boot. CTD has them at the best price. I checked fleabay and came back here to order it. Good job.

This is an excellent well
This is an excellent well made knife for overall use. I use it to cut through ribs and bones when cooking. Maintains it's edge and is easy to touch up the blade.This is also a very good and reliable defense weapon. This Cutlass is well worth a lot more money.
