KA-BAR K-BAR1248 Cutlass Machete
Unleash the power of a true cutting legend with the KA-BAR K-BAR1248 Cutlass Machete. Forged in the same Olean, New York plant that’s crafted battlefield-proven blades since 1898, this full-size machete brings unmatched durability, edge retention, and strength wherever your adventures take you. Whether you’re blazing new trails through dense undergrowth, clearing heavy brush around your campsite, or tackling survival tasks in the wild, the 27.9 cm heavy-duty blade slices through wood, vines, and foliage with ease—no sweat required.
Built to withstand decades of hard use, the Cutlass Machete features a premium high-carbon steel blade that holds a razor-sharp edge and resists corrosion when properly cared for. Its substantial weight delivers momentum on every swing, while a finely honed plain edge ensures clean, precise cuts. From chopping firewood to building shelter supports, this blade is your go-to tool for camp chores, emergency preparedness, and off-grid exploration.
Comfort meets control thanks to an ergonomically sculpted Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR) handle that absorbs shock and provides a secure, non-slip grip—even in wet or muddy conditions. The balance point of the blade and handle is tuned for effortless maneuverability, reducing fatigue during prolonged use. When the day’s work is done, stow your machete in the included cordura-and-leather hybrid sheath. Its articulating belt loop lets you carry your blade close at hand, swapping shoulders without missing a beat.
