MODIFIED CT1 - Traditional Cutlass Machete

This machete was modified from the CT1 (by me) and has the following attributes:

Ontario Knife Company is America's #1 Source for Machetes! We have been manufacturing the 1-18 machete under U.S. Government specifications for many years. The same quality that goes into our durable 1-18 machete is found in all the machetes we manufacture. All machetes have 1095 Black oxide coated blade steel, full tang construction, high impact, shatterproof polymer handles and steel compression rivets.

* .125" Blade Thickness

If I am out of stock on this item, drop me a line and I can see about modifying a "stock" one that I have on hand.

The modifications I made include the following:

Squaring of the spine for use with a firesteel or scraping tinder.

Rounding of the front are of the blade for comfortable grip when using as a draw knife.

Convex of the edge.

Finally, up toward the handle, I scandi-ground a section at 10 degrees per side for use like a knife. The area of the blade does not generally see impacts, so it is a good area to have this sharp. It is approximately 4" long.
