Designed to be the perfect machete, the Fiddleback Forge Machete has been designed with the user and intended function in mind. The Machete's handle gives protection for your fingers that you won't find on most machetes. This allows us to bring the edge all the way down the blade, so the blade can do bushcrafting chores, such as notching with ease. In addition, the khukuri style bulge in the handle allows for chopping with the hand in two positions using varying amount of wrist snap. The Fiddleback Forge Machete is made from a traditional 1075 steel that has been professionally heat-treated for the perfect balance of durability and ease of maintenance when used as intended.
A top quality, leather sheath with belt loop IS included.
