Cold Steel Tactical Wakizashi 18 inch Machete - Black - The Tactical Series of machetes are inspired by the hugely popular and record breaking Warrior Series of Tantos, Wakizashis and Katanas. This features a wide, curved Tanto point blade and solid steel tsuba made from 65Mn steel with black anti rust matte finish. It's broad full tangs are injection over-molded with high impact polypropylene, making them incredibly durable and weather resistant. Cold Steel re-created the look of a traditional cord wrapped handle, Fuchi and Kashira but used modern materials that will not shrink, warp, tarnish or rot and require very little maintenance. Each of these Machetes comes complete with a Cor-Ex sheath for carry and storage.
