Condor Tool & Knife Eco-Light Orange 18" Carbon Steel Machete CTK152-18HC

They make exceptional machetes in El Salvador and this Eco-Light machete from Condor is no exception. The thin blade allows for effective chopping of lighter materials with minimal fatigue in this traditional design. The blade is satin finished 1075 carbon steel with a hi-viz orange polypropylene and nylon belt sheath.

Brand new from Condor Tool & Knife.

Blade: Coming in at under 2 mm, the 1075 carbon steel blade is full flat ground for effective cutting with minimal weight for ease of use and carry. A hole in the blade allows for levering cuts or can be used to keep your tool off the ground during use. The uncoated carbon steel blade will require care to prevent corrosion.

Handle: A simple, thick and durable polypropylene handle wraps the tang of the blade and gives a solid grip thanks to the molded micro-texture. A generous hole is provided for lanyard attachment lending added security.

Carries via a high quality black nylon belt sheath.

1075 High Carbon Steel: Simple carbon steel used by both production and custom knife makers. Low abrasive wear due to low carbide content but very tough and easy to sharpen. Good performance with proper heat treatment. Not corrosion resistant and will rust without proper care.
