Weve prototyped a whole host of different short bladed Machete shapes over the years, but the Tanto remains one of the best weve tested. Although the Americanized Tanto is known primarily for its combative application, it also makes an excellent multi-purpose bush craft blade. In our tests the Tanto Machete cut and pierced exceptionally well while remaining tough enough to endure hard use. The blade is made from 65Mn steel with black anti rust matte finish. Its solid full-tang construction and hard wearing weather-resistant polypropylene handle only add to its durability and functionality.
