EXPAT Knives, a division of ESEE, introduces the Darien Machete as a full-size survival tool designed for tropical environments. A forward weighted design and 90 degree spine for Ferro Rod striking make the Darien a multi-functional tool while the tough, thin, carbon steel blade makes tackling jungle foliage a breeze. The Darien is produced in El Salvador, by folks who know about machetes, exclusively for EXPAT Knives.

Brand new, direct from EXPAT Knives, a division of ESEE.

Blade: Thin, slicing, 3/32 inch thick 1075 Carbon Tool Steel delivers a blade that slices through grasses and small saplings with ease while being tough and easy to sharpen. The blade has an obtuse clip point at the tip which can be utilized for light digging as well as piercing and a hammered "Condor Classic" finish. The forward weighted design excels at chopping while the long, straight edge be used as a draw knife.

Handle: Robust, contoured Micarta handle scales are attached via brass pins and offer an excellent combination of traction, comfort and durability while the lanyard hole provides the option for more secure retention during serious use. The handle goes right up to the extended tang guard for added safety while being close enough to the cutting edge for more control in fine cutting tasks. Moving the grip to the pommel end offers added leverage for powerful chopping cuts.

Carries via a Canvas & Nylon belt sheath.

1075 Carbon Tool Steel: Moderately high carbon steel, 1075 is good for various use but is better suited for large knives needing good toughness and shock resistance. 1075 has low wear resistance and requires care to prevent corrosion.
