SOG Kukri Machete

Measuring 19" in total length with a 12", forward-curving blade—positioning much of its 15-oz. weight forward in the nose—the SOG Kukri Machete is well-suited to clearing away brush and small limbs despite its relatively compact size.

The blade is made from black-finished 3Cr13 stainless steel, and a double-tooth saw has been incorporated into its spine for working through thicker branches.

A textured polymer handle provides sure purchase on the Kukri Machete while swinging it, and a glass breaker has been added to its pommel.

The machete comes from SOG with a black nylon sheath equipped with a belt loop for ease of transport.

MSRP is $38. For more information, visit sogknives.com.
