United Cutlery USMC Desert Ops Machete 24 Inch

The United Cutlery USMC Desert Ops Machete is a full-size tactical machete built for serious field use in demanding environments. The 17.3 inch stainless sawback blade with OD green matte finish gives you a primary cutting edge for vegetation clearing, shelter building, and general field work, while the sawback spine handles wood cutting and scoring tasks where a smooth spine cannot. The matte finish reduces glare in field conditions and the blade etching adds the USMC aesthetic that defines the Desert Ops series. At 24 inches overall and 2.82 lbs it has the reach and mass to handle heavy cutting tasks that a standard fixed blade cannot.

The desert tan ABS handle provides a secure grip with enough texture for confident control during heavy chopping strokes, and the full extended tang construction runs the steel the full length of the handle for maximum strength under the kind of lateral stress and torque that machete work generates. A lanyard hole adds a wrist retention option, and the adjustable shoulder strap allows hands-free carry when you need both hands free for other tasks. The included black nylon belt sheath keeps it protected and accessible for field carry. Comes boxed. Made in China.

Best for: Military and tactical carry, camping, survival, vegetation clearing, hunting camp, or anyone who wants a full-size USMC sawback machete with shoulder strap and belt sheath at a practical price.
