Features of machetes

A machete is a large, fixed-blade knife with a large blade, often made of carbon steel or stainless steel. The handle is usually made from micarta, rubber or wood. These robust materials ensure the knife can withstand intensive use.

How to choose the best machete

Machetes come in different shapes, sizes and steel types. Choose the one that matches your intended use and personal style.

Size

The length of a machete ranges from small versions of 16.8 cm to larger models of 50 cm. Larger blades are ideal for heavy-duty tasks such as clearing jungle paths. Smaller machetes are better for more precise work and suitable for bushcraft tasks. Are you looking for an all-rounder? Choose a compact machete. For heavy-duty jobs, a large machete is the best choice.

Steel types: carbon steel or stainless steel?

Carbon steel: Tough and durable, but prone to rust. This option is higher maintenance than stainless steel.

Stainless steel: Easier to maintain and ideal for use in damp conditions. It can be more expensive, but practical if you are looking for a low-maintenance option.

Blade shape

The two most popular blade shapes are the 'regular' machete and the kukri.

Machete: Perfect for cutting away vegetation.

Kukri: Combines chopping and slicing, ideal for bushcraft.

Power makes a difference

A machete does not always have to be razor-sharp. This tool is designed for swinging. The more power you use, the more effective it is. Perfect for pruning blackberry bushes or thick branches. Get to work and feel like a true Rambo - no bush is safe!
