The Garden & Camp Machete represents Cold Steels interpretation of a much-used African agricultural tool. Incredibly intuitive to use, the Garden & Camp Machete is a quick study in economy of motion. By slightly bending your knees and leisurely swinging the machete with a back and forth motion, you can make short work of many cutting tasks. Use it to trim the grass and weeds from your garden, or as a lightweight and handy cutting tool to clear brush from camp sites, hunting blinds and shooting lanes. Use it as a probe in long grass to look for obstructions, obstacles or varmints. The blade ismade from 65Mn steel with black anti rust matte finish. Its strong, sharp and long double edged blade is super lightweight and a breeze to carry and use all day.
