The SOG SOGfari is an 18-inch machete with a sawback spine, a black Kraton handle and a nylon sheath, and the saw is what makes it two tools rather than one.
The main edge clears green growth, where a long blade has enough speed at the tip to sever a stem in one pass instead of bruising it. The teeth on the spine handle seasoned wood, which a chopping edge does badly. 3Cr13 is a softer stainless, chosen here on purpose: it will not hold an edge like a tool steel, but it takes impact without chipping, comes back with a file in the field, and tolerates being left damp where carbon would rust.
Kraton is a soft synthetic rubber that grips when wet and soaks up some of the shock traveling back through the handle on each strike. At 18 inches the SOGfari sits in the middle of the machete range, long enough to work through brush but short enough to ride on a belt rather than strapped to a pack. Explore more Machetes.
