Elk Ridge Blackout Bolo Machete with Nylon Sheath MCER523B

The Elk Ridge Blackout Bolo Machete is built for heavy-duty cutting where strength and simplicity matter most. With a 13-inch black coated stainless steel blade, this bolo-style machete is designed to power through brush, vines, and undergrowth without slowing down. The black coating helps reduce glare and adds a tough, utilitarian look that keeps the blade feeling sharp and ready even after repeated use.

The bolo profile gives you a wide, forward-weighted cutting surface that drives through material with confidence. The blade’s thickness and overall heft are balanced for controlled swings, and the durable stainless steel construction stands up to outdoor work without rusting or corroding in damp conditions. Whether you’re clearing a trail, managing overgrowth, or tackling campsite tasks, this machete delivers the kind of performance you want when you need to get the job done.

The handle is a grooved black synthetic that offers a secure grip even when your hands are sweaty or wet. The textured pattern keeps your hold steady through repeated swings, and the synthetic material stands up to impact, moisture, and rough use. The full-length handle gives you a solid, comfortable grip for extended cutting sessions, and the overall 19-inch length keeps the machete manageable while still providing plenty of reach.

This machete comes with a black nylon sheath that includes a belt loop, so you can carry it hands-free and keep it close at hand when you’re moving through rough terrain. The sheath helps protect the blade and makes transport safer and easier.
