All Purpose Tactical Machete for Clearing Brush, Survival, Camping, Outdoor Activities

The Barong, originally from Southeast Asia, has a dual purpose as both an agricultural tool and a formidable weapon in wartime. This traditional Filipino blade has a rich history in martial arts and continues to be utilized by practitioners today. With its striking 18-inch leaf-shaped blade, the Barong is not only a fearsome combat weapon but also an essential bushcraft tool, effortlessly cutting through vines and branches. The classic down-turned polypropylene handle not only enhances the Barong's aesthetics but also provides a secure grip, aiding in powerful chopping and slashing movements. Crafted from sturdy 1055 Carbon Steel with a black baked-on matte finish for anti-rust protection, the Barong is a reliable and durable tool. Designed with practicality in mind, each Barong comes complete with a Cor-Ex sheath for ease of carry and convenience. Proudly endorsed by Cold Steel employees, including company President Lynn C. Thompson, who are passionate practitioners of Filipino Martial Arts, this modern interpretation of the classic Barong is a welcome addition to our tactical Machete collection.
