Meet the Cutlass Machete: Your Ultimate Outdoor Partner
Need a blade that handles tough jobs? The Cutlass Machete blends power and precision. Built to last, it’s perfect for chopping wood, clearing brush, or surviving the wild.
Why Choose a Cutlass Machete?
Crafted with SK5 high-carbon steel, this tool stays sharp through heavy use. The 11-inch blade slices cleanly, while the rubber grip keeps you steady—even in rain or sweat.
Cold Steel Cutlass Machete vs. Others
While the Cold Steel Cutlass Machete boasts rugged strength, classic models like KA-BAR focus on balance. Both shine in durability, but grip design and sheath quality set them apart.
Cutlass vs. Machete: What’s the Difference?
A cutlass curves for controlled slashing; a machete leans toward straight chops. The Cutlass Machete merges both: slice vines, split logs, or carve trails without switching tools.

Cutlass vs Machete: Key Differences for Outdoor Tools
1. Design & Origin
Cutlass: Historically a naval slashing sword with a curved blade and handguard (e.g., D-shaped guard in Cold Steel’s Latin D Guard Machete
). Modern versions like the Cold Steel Cutlass Machete retain this curve for powerful chopping and include anti-slip grips
Machete: Typically a straight or slightly curved blade optimized for vegetation clearing (e.g., Cold Steel’s utility-edged machetes
). Lighter and simpler in design for agility
2. Blade Construction
Cutlass: Thicker blades (e.g., 3mm 1055 carbon steel in Cold Steel models
) and reinforced full-tang builds prioritize durability for heavy tasks like splitting wood
Machete: Thinner blades (often 1-2mm) focus on lightweight slicing through brush, vines, or grass
3. Use Cases
Cutlass: Ideal for heavy-duty survival tasks (e.g., chopping logs, breaching dense undergrowth) due to its weight and curvature
Machete: Best for precision clearing (trail maintenance, gardening) with faster, controlled strikes
4. Modern Adaptations
Cold Steel Cutlass Machetes: Blend historical cutlass ergonomics with machete practicality, featuring corrosion-resistant coatings and polypropylene handles
Traditional Machetes: Prioritize affordability and ease of use, often lacking advanced grip or guard features
