That's why Cold Steel created the Katana Machete. Made in their factory in South Africa, it offers a 19" long blade with a modified Tanto style point. Heat treated to a tough spring temper and sporting a black, baked-on anti-rust finish, it comes fully sharpened. To facilitate one or two-handed use, they have paired the blade with a long handle, complete with a sturdy cross guard. Injection molded over the blade's tang, and further secured by two thick bolts, it shrugs off hard knocks and defies the elements.
