The Cold Steel Axis Machete is a formidable chopping and clearing tool that is built to last. It features an 11-inch black carbon steel blade with a plain edge, a sharp tip, and a sawback spine. The blade is made from high-carbon steel with a black-coated finish that is corrosion-resistant and will retain its edge for a long time. The handle is made from durable black rubber that provides a secure grip, even in wet conditions. The machete also comes with a black nylon sheath for easy carry and storage.
