Cold Steel 97TKJZ Tactical Tanto 13" Fixed Plain Machete 1055 Carbon Steel Black Polypropylene Handle

The Cold Steel Tactical Tanto (model 97TKJZ) is a heavy-duty fixed-blade machete built for clearing brush, trail work, and serious outdoor cutting chores. Its wide, curved tanto-point blade is forged from 1055 carbon steel with a baked-on black anti-rust matte finish that shrugs off moisture and field abuse.

The 13-inch blade rides at 2.8 mm thick and meets a solid steel tsuba and a tough, ergonomic black polypropylene handle. An integrated lanyard hole keeps the Tactical Tanto secure in hand during hard swings, whether you're breaking camp, hacking a trail, or working an emergency line.

Measuring 19.375 inches overall and weighing roughly 19 ounces, the Tactical Tanto pairs serious reach with manageable swing weight. It ships ready to carry in a fitted Cor-Ex belt sheath for safe, convenient transport.
