redesigned for additional cutting power
What We Love About This Item:
Description
Through our long experience with clearing machetes, we constantly assess the tool and monitor feedback. Our latest improvements are no exception: we've refined the design on our new model with an eye toward greater functionality and comfort. The solid ergonomic handle with steel pins is still full-sized but the spectacular bulb-shaped grip is now slightly thicker and longer than past models. This gives your hand a more secure fit between the “bulb” and the front-guard (quillon), that keeps your hand from sliding forward onto the blade as you work. The 1/8" thick stainless steel blade has a beautiful shape, and the tip is now larger and slightly heavier. The resulting machete still has excellent balance, but with additional control and improved power. And perhaps best of all, we have managed to lower the cost. We are very proud of this improved outdoor icon.

"Amazing never seen anything like this before and I just wanted to let everyone know that I was amazed at the quality of the product."
"Very nice manchette heavy duty"
"This is a Christmas present for my husband. I think he’ll like it"
"This is a well made tool. It can be made razor sharp and seems to hold an edge well. It is heavy, no surprise, but be prepared to need a strong grip and arm. Hacks through branches beautifully."
"Bought as a gift. Haven't used. Looks fine."
"You better mean business with this Hoss. Cuts clean and is very sharp."
"Well balanced. Just the right weight."
"Nice machete with good balance. I have not used it to test the edge quality, only handled it. I can only assume as with all Garrett Wade knives and tools with edges that I would expect no less than high quality."
"Nice, solid good balance and weight"
"I had not used the product. Found it was too heavy for my wrist, so I had returned it back to you. I will be purchasing a replacement down the road. It looked to be an excellent tool."
