Genuine G.I. Government 18 Machete (becomes Available Mid Feb 2025)

The U.S.-made authentic G.I. Government 18-inch machete is an incredibly useful and long-lasting tool. Its 18-inch steel blade can handle everything from clearing jungle paths to backyard cleanup projects. It has a durable plastic handle riveted to the steel tang and comes with a lanyard hole. Overall, this government-issue machete measures about 23 1/4 inches.

Using this machete is quite easy. Just grip the plastic handle firmly and swing it to cut through grass, small branches, or weeds. When using it in the jungle, be careful of hidden obstacles. For backyard projects, make sure to clear the area first. As for maintenance, after each use, clean the blade with a dry cloth to prevent rust. You can also apply a thin layer of oil to the blade for extra protection. Store it in a dry place, and keep it out of reach of children.
