Cold Steel Tanto Machete CS97BTMS

The Cold Steel Tanto Machete delivers hard-hitting performance in a package built to thrive in the toughest environments. With a 13-inch tanto blade forged from 1055 carbon steel, this machete is made for work—cutting, clearing, or striking with purpose. The blade features a black baked-on anti-rust finish that holds up against the elements and reduces reflection in tactical or outdoor use. Its robust tanto point adds strength where it counts, offering outstanding piercing ability and impact resilience.

Full tang construction runs the length of the blade, giving it solid balance and serious backbone. The handle is crafted from black polypropylene, shaped to offer a no-slip grip even in wet or muddy conditions. It’s rugged, lightweight, and tough enough to take years of punishment without cracking or warping. A lanyard hole at the base gives you added carry security, letting you loop it through your gear or wrist for fast retrieval.

Overall, the machete stretches 15.6 inches and weighs in at a manageable 16.6 ounces—light enough to swing with speed, heavy enough to chop with authority. It comes with a black Cor-Ex nylon sheath equipped with a belt loop for secure, accessible carry in the field, on the job, or around camp.

Whether you’re navigating dense brush, tackling utility tasks, or need a dependable backup blade with serious bite, the Cold Steel Tanto Machete is ready for the job.
