A truly unique machete, this has it all for the survivalist, hunter, or camping enthusiast.
This blade has several distinct features; a serrated spine with deep teeth for coarse sawing, a can opener, a spey tip for skinning, and a concave edge on the bellywhich can be sharpened for stripping side branches from poles and trunks. This machete does everything a large camp knife can do, plus the weighted blade makes it great for chopping. A three in one tool, eliminating the need for an ax or a saw.
I lived and worked in Loja Province [Southern Ecuador], for 5 and 1/2 years in a rented house on 4 acres. On the weekends and after work, when I wasn’t managing the C.M.U. plant where I worked; I used this machete as my go to when cutting grass and small soft wood. It is true what is said about the machete – the Ecuadorian jungle school managed by it’s only Commando battalion, issue this machete to all attendees. It is a badge of pride that the graduates carry. I asked couple of commandos that I met at the public market, one of whom was carrying a painted version – and asked what they used the saw back for – his reply was both surprising and typical for Ecuador: they push the barbed wire down [or away from them], when going under fences. This machete takes a huge amount of abuse, when hitting stones and other hard objects. It sharpens easily, holds a great edge and is just the right length when working in dense bush.
