The Cold Steel CS97THAMS Thai Machete delivers exceptional cutting power with its 22-inch 1055 carbon steel blade and traditional Thai design. This full-tang construction machete excels in brush clearing, camping tasks, and survival applications where reliability matters most.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard machetes with thin, flexible blades, the CS97THAMS features a substantial 1055 carbon steel construction with black matte anti-rust coating that resists corrosion in humid conditions. The traditional Thai profile combines the chopping power of a machete with the precision of a large knife, making it more versatile than conventional brush-clearing tools. At 36.5 inches overall length, it provides optimal leverage while remaining manageable for extended use.
