TOPS El Machete .230 X Tan Black Canvas Micarta Handle Black 1095 Blade TPMAC-230X

The TOPS El Machete .230X is built to take on dense brush, overgrown trails, and demanding outdoor chores where a standard machete may come up short. Based on the original .230 pattern, this rugged field tool combines a long 15.75-inch cutting edge with full-tang 1095 high carbon steel, giving you the reach and leverage needed to clear vegetation efficiently.

With an overall length of 22.50 inches, the El Machete .230X provides plenty of reach without becoming unnecessarily cumbersome. Its 15.75-inch blade offers a generous cutting surface for clearing briars, vines, brush, and other trail obstacles. The 0.130-inch-thick 1095 steel provides a dependable balance of strength and edge performance, while the Black Traction Coating helps protect the blade from moisture and outdoor exposure. The dark finish also gives this machete a subdued, professional appearance suited to serious field gear.

Full-tang construction extends through the handle, creating a solid foundation for repetitive chopping and cutting. The substantial blade length gives each swing plenty of reach, helping you cover more ground with every cut. Whether you're opening an overgrown path, preparing a campsite, or managing vegetation around your property, the El Machete .230X is designed to be a capable companion for hard-working outdoor tasks.

The handle features contoured Tan and Black Canvas Micarta scales that provide a secure grip while adding a distinctive two-tone appearance. Canvas Micarta is well suited to outdoor use, offering a durable feel in hand and maintaining dependable control during extended work. The scales are fitted closely to the full tang for a solid, comfortable grip that helps keep the machete steady through repeated swings.

TOPS includes a Black Ballistic Nylon sheath with a convenient belt loop. The sheath provides a practical way to carry and protect the machete when you're moving between work areas or transporting it as part of a larger outdoor kit. The complete package weighs 29 ounces with the sheath, while the machete itself weighs 21.2 ounces.

Designed by the TOPS Team and made in the USA, the El Machete .230X combines long reach, full-tang construction, 1095 steel, and a durable Canvas Micarta handle in one dependable field tool.
