The Two-Handed Katana Machete is crafted in Cold Steel's factory located in South Africa. Its blade is fully sharpened and features a modern tactical Tanto point. The steel has undergone heat treatment to achieve a durable spring temper. With a black, anti-rust finish baked onto it, this machete is tough, dependable, and highly resistant to the elements. To enable comfortable use with one or two hands, Lynn has combined the full tang blade with a long, extra tough handle made of injection molded polypropylene. The handle also includes a sturdy cross guard for added stability.
