The Machete is used today much more commonly than the axe, hatchet, or tomahawk. Originally it was created for agricultural and vegetation control purposes. It is still widely used today in many parts of the world.

You may see in many parts of the world that the machete is a common landscaping tool to use when trimming hedges, cutting lawns and weeds, and even cutting branches. The machete is a unique tool in that it is more mobile than a sword and light enough to carry around on your hip (with a machete sheath). 

Our wide selection of machetes are made from the highest quality steel and sharpened to perfection for your convenience. Our machetes come from brands such as Cold Steel, Gerber, and Whetstone.
