Overview
A campsite with brush to clear is where this SOG machete is meant to work, with a sweeping blade, a partly serrated choil and big teeth along the spine. The molded handle is Kraton, and a nylon sheath with a utility pouch comes with it.
One tool is meant to cover chopping, sawing and light hammering, and the light weight helps on long carries. A serrated edge cuts differently from a flat grind, and the listing gives no thickness or tang detail beyond the title mention.
Who it's for
A hiker or camper who carries one fixed blade for trail work and camp chores. Cooks and bushcrafters who prefer a straight edge, or who need blade thickness figures, will want more detail than this offers.
Pros and cons
- Sheath with utility pouch included
- Molded non slip Kraton grip
- Rust resistant stainless blade
- Works for either hand
- Hand wash only
- Blade thickness not listed
- Blade shape field shows an error
Performance notes
The sweeping blade swings through brush, while the spine teeth let it work as a small saw. The Digi-Grip texture on the Kraton handle gives grip when hands are wet. A serrated section bites into fibrous stems but takes more effort to sharpen than a flat edge.
