The SOG Jungle Primitive F03TN-CP delivers multi-functional cutting power for outdoor professionals and bushcraft enthusiasts. This 9.5-inch machete combines traditional chopping capability with modern materials and a practical saw spine for versatile field performance.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic machetes that offer only chopping function, the Jungle Primitive integrates a serrated saw spine along the back edge for cutting branches and processing wood. The 8Cr13MoV stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance compared to carbon steel alternatives while maintaining a sharp edge. The black hardcase coating reduces glare and adds durability against scratches and wear during heavy use.
Key Features
- 9.5-inch clip point blade with 8Cr13MoV stainless steel construction
- Integrated saw spine for dual cutting functionality
- Black hardcase coating for corrosion resistance and reduced visibility
- Digi-grip Kraton handle provides secure grip in wet conditions
- Included ballistic nylon sheath with belt loop attachment
- Full tang construction for maximum durability under stress

Field testing shows the 8Cr13MoV steel holds an edge through extended cutting sessions while resisting rust in humid environments. The saw spine cuts through 2-inch diameter branches efficiently, eliminating the need for separate tools. Hunters appreciate the versatility for processing game and clearing shooting lanes, while campers use it for firewood preparation and shelter construction. The Kraton handle maintains grip security even when hands are wet or gloved.
