Tramontina 24" Polymer Handled Machete

Whether it's for clearing brush or chopping wood, the Tramontina 24" Polymer Handled Machete can get the job done. Made in Brazil by Tramontina, a very popular knife and tool company in South America, this machete is inexpensive but cuts and chops with the best of them.

Great for outdoor tasks, the 24" Polymer Handled Machete is strong due to its full tang design. It is weighed forward of the handle, giving you good chopping capability. The polymer handle is securely riveted on and provides a comfortable grip. There is also a lanyard hole at the end of the handle. A lanyard attached to the machete and wrapped around your wrist is a great way to secure the machete in your hand.

This machete DOES NOT include a sheath. If you require a sheath, we recommend one of the Machete Sheaths that we sell.

The machete is a handy outdoor/wilderness tool and should definitely be something that you consider trying out if you haven't yet. Inexpensive, yet powerful, the Tramontina 24" Polymer Handled Machete is a great way to discover the usefulness of a machete.

Note:

As with many machetes, to get a more useful edge, the factory edge has to be touched up and sharpened. This can easily be done with a metal file.

To sharpen, take the file and match the angle of the file to the factory edge of the machete. Move the file back and forth across the blade, while maintaining the proper edge angle.

Be careful when sharpening your machete because, if you're doing a good job, it will be sharp. Be sure to keep your hands, and anything that doesn't need cutting, away from the edge of the blade.

Be Smart and Be Safe!
