If you were suddenly
castaway on a desert island or stranded in the wilderness or a jungle,
what's the one tool you would want at your side? The answer is a good
machete. You see the machete, over the last three centuries, has proven to
be the ultimate outdoor and survival tool. It will cut, chop, slash, hack,
split, scrape, scoop, hammer, dig, crush, carve, whittle, crack or smash
just about anything you can put in front of it. The machete also makes a
deadly improvised weapon. It can be used to kill both fish and game and
will gut, scale, filet, skin, quarter, and butcher them for the table as
well. And when you look at its meager cost, it's got to be one of the best
bargains for hard earned cash in the world. In fact it's so cheap and
useful that even the poorest peasant in South America or tribesman in
Africa invariably owns one and counts on it as one of his most precious
possessions. The Cold Steel machetes are made out of SAE 1055 medium
carbon steel and are dipped in a special antirust solution before being
coated with a black baked on finish. Each machete comes with a good
utility edge that will cut right out of the box and, with a little work,
can be made hair shaving sharp. The handles of the Cold Steel machetes are
made out of polypropylene and permanently injected molded around the
blade's tang. They have been designed to provide a comfortable secure grip
and to last practically forever, as they are highly resistant to chipping,
cracking or breaking. |
