Cold Steel 97JMS Jungle Machete 16" 1055 Carbon Steel Black Polypropylene Handle 22" OAL

The Cold Steel Jungle Machete (model 97JMS) is a heavy-duty chopping tool purpose-built for clearing brush, hacking through thick vegetation, and tackling demanding outdoor cutting jobs. With a full 16" blade and an overall length of 22", this full-size machete delivers serious reach and chopping power in a rugged, no-nonsense package.

The blade is forged from tough 1055 carbon steel with a strong spring temper, giving it the kind of durability needed to absorb repeated heavy impacts without breaking. It carries a black matte baked-on anti-rust finish that protects the steel from corrosion and helps the blade power through vines, saplings, and undergrowth with reduced friction. The plain edge is straightforward to maintain with basic sharpening tools.

A black polypropylene handle provides a comfortable, slip-resistant grip that holds up to weather, sweat, and abuse in the field. At 22.80 oz, the Jungle Machete has the heft to drive the blade through dense growth while remaining controllable across extended clearing sessions.

A Cor-Ex sheath is included for safe carry and storage, protecting the edge and the user during transport. Whether you are maintaining trails, clearing campsites, cutting firebreaks, or simply keeping a heavy-use blade on hand, the Cold Steel Jungle Machete delivers reliable performance at an accessible price.
