The Schrade Decimate Sawback Machete has a black oxide 3Cr13 blade with a serrated sawback spine, a full tang and a black rubber handle.
The sawback is the feature to understand here, with the spine opposite the cutting edge cut into coarse teeth, so one tool both clears brush with the main edge and bucks through seasoned limbs with the saw. On green vegetation the machete edge is faster; on dry wood the saw does what a chopping edge cannot. Full tang construction runs the steel through the handle, which matters more on a machete than on almost anything else, since every swing loads the joint between blade and grip.
Black oxide coating slows rust on 3Cr13, a steel chosen for toughness and easy field sharpening rather than long edge retention. The rubber handle absorbs some of the shock that comes back through a long blade on impact. Explore more Machetes.
