Cold Steel Tanto Machete 13" CS97BTMS

Cold Steel Tanto Machete: Proven Performance in the Field

Cold Steel has refined the Tanto blade profile into an outstanding short machete that excels in both tactical and bushcraft applications. The 13" Tanto Machete represents years of prototype testing and real-world field validation.

Blade Performance

The Tanto's distinctive profile delivers exceptional cutting and piercing capability. Unlike traditional curved machete designs, the Tanto's angular geometry concentrates force at the point, making it remarkably efficient at both slicing and penetrating tough vegetation. In rigorous testing, this blade proved tough enough to handle demanding work without compromise.

Built for Durability

• Full-tang construction ensures maximum strength and reliability
• 1055 carbon steel blade with black matte baked-on finish resists rust and corrosion
• Weather-resistant polypropylene handle withstands harsh field conditions
• Included Cor-Ex sheath provides secure carry and protection

Versatile Tool

While the Tanto design originated in combat applications, Cold Steel's interpretation makes it an excellent multi-purpose bushcraft tool. Whether you're clearing brush, processing firewood, or tackling camp tasks, this machete delivers the performance serious outdoorsmen demand. At 15.63" overall length, it balances reach with control for extended use without fatigue.
