The average machete is 2 feet long – a little unwieldy for an adventurer
This steel Bamboo Knife has the same hacking power yet is a compact 13" long. Perfect when your trek to the lost city takes you through thick rainforest or jungle. Straight blade (also known as a froe) is a centuries-old Japanese design originally used to split bamboo poles. Works great for hacking through brush, branches or vines, as well as cutting boards, shingles, fence rails and chair parts. Handy for cutting kindling for the evening campfire. In a pinch it’ll work in self-defense too, should you encounter assassins or hostile natives. Hand-forged steel with 8" blade, parachute rope handle and lanyard. Weighs 8 oz. Made in Japan.
