Cold Steel CS97LHMS Heavy Machete 14.63" 65Mn Carbon Steel

The Cold Steel CS97LHMS Heavy Machete delivers exceptional cutting power through its 14.63-inch 65Mn carbon steel blade and robust polypropylene construction. This full-tang design provides the chopping force needed for heavy brush clearing, camping tasks, and tactical applications where standard blades fall short.

What Makes This Different

The 65Mn carbon steel construction offers superior edge retention and impact resistance compared to standard stainless steel machetes. At 20.25 inches overall length with a 14.63-inch blade, this machete provides optimal leverage for heavy cutting tasks while maintaining control. The full-tang construction transfers maximum force from handle to blade, eliminating weak points common in welded designs.
