A real Cold Steel brute! Good heft! I’m sure it’s strong enough to take heavy use! Very versatile and is damn sharp for a machete chopper! A very elegant blade to boot! I scored it for $29 and some cents! A great deal! Review: Well worth the money great cross between a small ax and a mechete - Can do must of the chopping work of a small-medium ax and all the duties of a machete. Very well made very well put together. Size is about perfect in it will pack well but still big enough to handle any chopping task shy of cutting down a larger diameter tree. Will chop kindling and firewood well especially if you use a small log as a mallet to assist in spitting wood. I feel a must have camping and survival tool. Sheath is also well made and not all cheaply done. Well worth the price you really get your moneys worth from this chopping tool. Like to add when I bought this Cold Steel Royal Kukri machete I also bought a Accusharp carbide blade knife sharpener. The Cold steel Kukri came only OK sharp. Yes it would cut you, but I felt it to dull for my liking. So I did 50 passes with the Accusharp, tested the blade for improvement and repeated, 50 test, 50 test etc. After 250 passes the Cold Steel Kukri was very sharp and no doubt I could get it even sharper as it's sharpness improved noticeably with every 50 passes of the sharpener, but I got it sharp enough to cut anything I will need to with minimal effort. All in all I can highly recommend both the Cold Steel Kukri Machete and the Accusharp knife sharpener. ## Features - BASED FROM POPULAR BLADES: Inspired by the hugely popular 1917 Cutlass machete - DURABLE CONSTRUCTION: Features a wide, curved blade and solid steel tsuba made from heat-treated 1055 High Carbon Steel with a baked-on anti-rust coating - WEATHER RESISTANT: Their broad full tangs are injection over-molded with high impact polypropylene, making them incredibly durable and weather-resistant - FEATURES: Features a steel-reinforced knuckle bow guard and a durable weatherproof long polypropylene handle; Comes complete with a Cor-Ex sheath for carrying and storage - SPECIFICATIONS: Thickness: 2.8mm; Blade length: 24 inches; Length: 29.62 inches; Weight: 26.6 ounces; Product warranty: 5-year warranty ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B006YBY91K | | Best Sellers Rank | #62,626 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #677 in Camping Knives & Tools | | Blade Length | 24 Inches | | Blade Material | Carbon Steel | | Blade Material Type | Carbon Steel | | Brand | Cold Steel | | Brand Name | Cold Steel | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 3,792 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00705442010326 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Polypropylene (PP) | | Included Components | Machete, Sheath | | Item Dimensions L x W | 30"L x 6"W | | Item Type Name | Machete | | Item Weight | 0.1 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Cold Steel | | Manufacturer Part Number | 97DRMS | | Model Number | CSMCHTE | | Product Style | Cutlass Machete | | Style | Cutlass Machete | | UPC | 705442010326 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Knives & Blades: We stand behind our products 100%.

All one solid piece?** A: This sword is full tang. I found a Nd magnet will stick to the entire handle AND to the handguard. I haven't opened the handle so I don't know if the handguard metal is a unified part of the tang, ...or even attached. **Q: If a person hit a hard log against the grain would this machete bend or simply cut in?** A: Depending on how you sharpened the blade and how hard you hit it would either cut into the log or bounce right off. The machete may flex a bit and return back to it's normal shape, but it will NOT bend out of shape. It's tough, to say the least. **Q: Does this machete come with a scabbard?** A: Yes. I was wondering the same thing when I ordered it. It comes with a sturdy nylon scabbard. **Q: Where is the point of balance of this machete?** A: The point of balance is about 7 inches down the blade. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heavy duty chopper!! *by T***P on June 4, 2026* This is cool!

I will update my review when I do. So far let me give my initial impressions. The Sheath: The sheath is a well made cordura sheath with a plastic tip to prevent accidental blade protrusions. It's not flimsy and is somewhat rigid. There are 2 snaps on the top of the sheath that you unsnap to remove the machete and resnap to secure it. A lot of people don't like this design and continue to berate the sheath as "cheap" and "bad design". I've thought a lot about this and come to the conclusion that with the kukri type design of the blade there is no other option. The Blade: Well, reviewers are right on the money when they say that is will not come to you sharpened from the factory. I literally ran my finger down the edge of the blade and it was like a butter knife. The only chance I had at being cut was by one of the million burrs or knicks. You WILL have to spend some time putting a decent edge on it. I used a dremel and then a DMT Diafold course sharpener. After about an hour or so I finally had a decent edge on it. How it will hold up, time will tell. Other than that, the blade quality seems to be good. This is not a brush clearer as much as it is a chopper. It has a good weight and forward momentum that leads me to believe it can do much damage in a single swing. I highly recommend you put a lanyard of it, your wrist will thank you and you'll have much more control of the blade. The Handle: The handle very much reminds me of a bicycle handle. The grip is good, but like I suggested, a lanyard is a must. With the kukri design, there is so much forward weight that I think some might have trouble controlling it. The Dreaded Sticker: I have heard horror stories of people ruining the finish on their blade from using solvents to remove the sticker. Eventhough this is a machete made for work I understand that any wear on the finish is better to come from use in the field rather than a pesky sticker. Too many overthink things though. After taking as much sticker off I could with my fingernail and hot water I was left with a mess of glue on the blade. This came off EASILY with some dish soap and a sponge (the kind with a green scrubbing side and yellow sponge side). Use the green side of the sponge with some dish soap hot water and it will come off very quickly without hurting the finish. Overall: So far I'm quite happy with my $21 purchase. Time will tell how the edge holds up, but I think it will do ok. I wish this were made in the USA or another quality country like the UK, Germany, etc instead of South Africa. I know the blade would have come in far superior form. Would have probably cost 2-3 times as much, but it is what it is. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cold Steel All Purpose Tactical Machete with Sheath, Great for Clearing Brush, Survival, Camping and Outdoor Activities, Cutlass Machete - Cold Steel All Purpose Tactical Machete with Sheath, Great for Clearing Brush, Survival, Camping and Outdoor Activities, Gladius Machete, One Size,Black - Cold Steel All Purpose Tactical Machete with Sheath, Great for Clearing Brush, Survival, Camping and Outdoor Activities, Thai Machete, One Size --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1714045-cold-steel-all-purpose-tactical-machete-with-sheath](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1714045-cold-steel-all-purpose-tactical-machete-with-sheath) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-19*
