INTRODUCTION
When we say tactical machete, we mean the kind that we can use against an attacker as well as chop wood. So it has to be versatile, sharp, and durable.
Guess what…
We found it! This top ten best machete list has the tools that we found to be most useful and valuable in the wilderness.
We got to this conclusion by rummaging through the market and reading up on these products. Then after buying them, we inspected them as soon as we took them out of their boxes. Immediately, we took note of our observations.
Then…
We tried each one of them on paper, thin barks, ropes, and other light things we could find inside and outside our houses. But eventually, we brought them when we hiked, trekked, fished, and camped.
We had to know how they fared under pressure. So we used each of these machetes to chop, slice, cut, baton, dig, and others. Luckily, we never had to defend ourselves from bad guys or bears.
But that doesn’t mean we didn’t practice on dummies and dead trees.
And in the end…
We all have our favorites, our go-to tool, and ones that we want to keep as a backup. And we were able to find the best machete to add to our gear.
But that’s just for us. So, you need to read through this list to find the best machete for you!
Best Tactical Machete
Best Versatile Tactical Machete – Editor’s Choice Award
SOG SOGfari 18″ Machete MC02
Size – 24 x 2.5 x 0.75 inches
Blade Material – 420 stainless steel
Blade Type – Plain edge with saw back; Fixed blade
Weight – 15.7 oz
Manufacturer – SOG Specialty Knives & Tools
Overall Score:
94
The Bottom Line:
You’ll get everything done in no time with this versatile and sharp blade!Pros
- Affordable
- Multi-purpose
- Good edge retention
- Comfortable and secure grip
- Durable and sturdy blade
Cons
- Slightly unbalanced
- Might not be the best for heavy-duty tasks
Summary
Who doesn’t love a versatile tool? Our Editor’s Choice SOGfari 18-inch machete is exactly that!
Its blade has a plain edge and a serrated spine. Both are sharp and can retain their sharpness after several uses. I didn’t have to hone it as I did the others. And this design and durability allowed me to work easily around my backyard and the campsite.
Because of its size and weight…
I also use it as a survival machete. I just have to strap it on my back and bring it camping. My outdoor enthusiast friends loved it, too; now it’s our go-to machete.
We all agreed that it has one of the best handles we’ve tried. It never slipped out of my grasp, no matter how much I swung it. Of course, you have to be experienced to know how to swing it properly. But this handle has enough friction to add security to your grip.
However…
I’ve found reviews about this SOG machete saying it can’t cut. That made me wonder because I had no problems with the blade edge.
So I think that there’s a proper way to grip this machete.
Its blade length is longer than what I’d prefer for its weight. And that weight isn’t evenly distributed throughout the machete. You have to put in more strength and find the best way to swing it so you can cut something.
Also…
After trying it on different outdoor tasks, we figured this SOG machete wasn’t the best for cutting logs.
Chopping wood to make stakes and kindling would be easy with this. The serrated edge is great for sawing small to medium-sized logs too. But I had a hard time cutting trees with it.
But overall…
We got more than what we’ve bargained for. This SOG machete is so affordable that we didn’t expect it to be this high-quality!
Best Budget Tactical Machete – Best Value Award
Gerber Gear 30-001790 Gator Machete
Size – 25.7 x 2.1 x 6.1 inches
Blade Material – High-carbon stainless steel
Blade Type – Plain edge with saw back; Fixed blade
Weight – 2.09 lbs
Manufacturer – Gerber
Overall Score:
92
The Bottom Line:
Budget-friendly machetes don’t usually come in such quality!Pros
- Very affordable
- Comfortable and secure grip
- Sharp blade
- Balanced and easy to swing
- Multi-purpose
Cons
- Less durable blade
- Edge retention issues
Summary
We couldn’t pass up a super affordable machete. After all, there’s no harm in trying, right?
To our surprise…
This Gerber machete gave us more than we expected! We didn’t know that it could accomplish so much. From chopping wood to clearing bushes – I had a good time using this machete!
Its weight is also evenly distributed, so I had no problems swinging it around. I figured it would also come in handy in an animal attack. It’s long and light, which is perfect for defending myself. Luckily, I haven’t been in that situation yet.
Plus…
When this arrived, my friends and I were hanging out, planning our next trip. It was the perfect time to try it. And straight out of the box, this Gerber machete is sharp!
We tried it on the bushes in my backyard without any initial sharpening. And it slashed through like no one’s business!
But then…
I had to hone it right after. In just a few uses, the edge dulls out.
Now, I sharpen it at home when I take it to camp.
It’s also not the most durable. So we only use this on dry wood and the saw teeth on thin logs. Tree cutting isn’t one of its specialties.
Still…
We were impressed overall. From blade to rubber handle, the Gerber Gear Gator machete is comfortable and easy to use.
This comes at a cheap price, but it’s definitely not cheaply made! So, what else would be our Best Value award winner?
Best Tactical/Survival Machete With Carbon-Steel Blade – Top Pick Award
KA-BAR 2-1249-9 Kukri
Size – 21.97 x 4.88 x 2.36 inches
Blade Material – Carbon steel
Blade Type – Kukri; Fixed blade
Weight – 2 lbs
Manufacturer – Dreme Corp.
Overall Score:
92
The Bottom Line:
Don’t let this well-designed and versatile machete get away from you!Pros
- Multi-purpose
- Great build and design
- Durable and sturdy
- Sharp blade
- Secure and comfortable grip
Cons
- Expensive
- Prone to rust
- Edge retention issues
Summary
This Ka-Bar kukri machete is priced higher than other products, especially those we just discussed. But we don’t regret buying it!
Now, it’s our Top Pick award winner!
Its best quality is its blade. It’s made of durable carbon steel, which is why this machete is sturdy. Its hardness makes it great for heavy-duty tasks around camp – even cutting down small trees!
You may have to be careful with it, though. This blade material isn’t known for its rust resistance.
Especially since…
This Ka-Bar machete has a kukri blade. This blade type is one of our favorites because of its versatility.
The shape will allow you to chop wood, prepare food, slaughter game, dig trenches, build shelters, etc. It can pretty much do anything you can think of at camp!
Also…
It has a comfortable grip that’s designed for security. It won’t fall off your hand no matter how hard you swing – but you still have to be very careful when handling it.
The grip also makes it easy to sharpen. And mind you – you’re going to do that a lot. The Gerber Gator dulls out when you use it on large logs.
But overall…
There’s so much that you can do with the Gerber Gator. And it will last long even if you use it every week!
Best Durable Tactical Machete
Japanese NATA Tool – Machete
Size – 21 x 4.75 x 2.25 inches
Blade Material – Stainless steel
Blade Type – Tanto; Fixed blade
Weight – 2.2 lbs
Manufacturer – Barebones Living
Overall Score:
90
The Bottom Line:
Apparently, this manufacturer had been making durable machetes for years – and this proves it!Pros
- Multi-purpose
- Balanced weight distribution
- Durable overall build
- Sharp blade
- Good edge retention
Cons
- Expensive
- Not for heavy-duty tasks
- Slightly uncomfortable grip
Summary
This Japanese NATA tool has a unique squared blade shape. We were initially doubtful about it because it didn’t look like it could do much. Besides, we’re all used to pointed-tip blades.
Then, we used it. And…
We discovered that this Japanese NATA machete is durable enough to withstand most tasks in any weather. It’s not a tree-cutting tool, but it’s great for lighter chores like clearing brush or tall grass, making planks and kindling, stripping barks, etc.
But we were most impressed when we didn’t find any damage after several trips. It has scratches now, but there weren’t any dents or chips. And it’s one of the first machetes we’ve tried too!
We didn’t expect less from it, though. After all, it’s an expensive find.
Which is a bummer because…
Some of my buddies complained about the grip. They said that it’s slightly uncomfortable for the palms. And I agree because I always had to adjust my grip on it to prevent blisters.
But we all loved its wooden handle. It’s sturdy and has a finger groove for your index finger to anchor on. All these make the grip super secure, so you can confidently swing it. I know I did…
Another thing…
This Japanese NATA machete has a balanced weight distribution, adding to the ease of swinging. Even beginners – with proper practice and carefulness – would easily maximize this tool’s uses.
Add all that to its razor-sharp blade that doesn’t need honing too often, and you have a great survival machete!
Best Fine Edge Tactical Machete
Kilimanjaro BM21 Black 21-Inch Machete
Size – 18.5 x 3.9 x 1.4 inches
Blade Material – Stainless steel
Blade Type – Fine edge with serrated back; Fixed blade
Weight – 1.2 lbs
Manufacturer – Sportsman Supply, Inc.
Overall Score:
88
The Bottom Line:
If this machete can’t cut, I don’t know what can!Pros
- Relatively affordable
- Multi-purpose
- Comfortable and secure handle
- Sharp cutting edge
- Easy to sharpen
- Balanced weight distribution
Cons
- Less sharp serrated edge
- Edge retention issues
- Slightly less durable
Summary
Why do you need a tactical machete? To cut things, of course. And the Kilimanjaro machete superbly does that!
On the trail…
Making a clear track on the mountain was as easy as swinging this machete around.
I’m neither the biggest nor strongest in our group. But I led my buddies on a hike once and brought my Kilimanjaro with me.
I told everybody to stay back as I made us a trail to follow, and I did it in no time at all. Infact, it was exhausting, but seeing those branches and brushes fall in a single swipe was pretty satisfying.
In the end…
We made a new trail and a new campsite with an affordable machete. Sure, we had to hone it right after the trip. But it was easy, and once the sharpness is back, there’s no stopping the Kilimanjaro…
… from clearing brushes and making kindling, that is.
We tried to use the serrated spine to cut small logs too. But it wasn’t as sharp as the cutting edge. So I recommend this tool for lighter tasks only.
Also…
The overall build of Kilimanjaro is not as good as the others that we tried. Even at the same price point. The cheaper ones might even be better.
But we did a lot with it around the campsite. I even love using this in my backyard for chopping wood. My friends also borrow it because it’s balanced, easy to swing, and has a great grip.
So, overall…
The Kilimanjaro machete comes high up our recommendations. You’re going to love its long and light design.
Best Tactical/Survival Machete With Belt Sheath
Leopcito Machete Axe
Size – 11.81 x 3.74 x 1.46 inches
Blade Material – 420 stainless steel
Blade Type – Hatchet; Fixed blade
Weight – 15.7 oz
Manufacturer – Leopcito
Overall Score:
84
The Bottom Line:
Quality meets coolness with this hatchet-slash-machete!Pros
- Affordable
- Great for chopping large foods
- Compact and lightweight
- Balanced weight distribution
- Secure and comfortable grip
Cons
- Not for hardwood
- Less sharp blade
- Might be too short for some
- Less durable overall build
Summary
This full-tang machete looks so cool that we had to try it! Its patterned hatchet blade and belt sheath make a rugged-looking combination.
But that’s not all…
The Leopcito machete is my favorite when it comes to skinning wild game. Some of my buddies prefer small knives for food prep. But some of us are hunters and butchers. I’m one of the latter, and I must say we’re done with small knives.
Most of the time, we just want to get into it. Skin, dress, chop – all those stages with one big knife. And this Leopcito machete is just the right size.
Also…
Its size and weight make it a good addition to my camping gear. It doesn’t weigh me down, but it does the job.
Others might feel that a shorter machete can’t be as useful as your usual machete. If you like your tools long, then you might want to choose another one from this list.
But as for me…
I love how the Leopcito machete’s weight is evenly distributed throughout its short length. It gives me a balanced and more controlled swing.
The grip is so comfortable and secure in its finger grooves.
However…
It’s not the most durable machete in this pile. Its blade isn’t as sharp as others, either. I had to hone it every so often. And after a few trips, I found a tiny chip on the edge just before it met the handle.
But that was after I shaved oakwood, which is a no-no, according to the manufacturer. Still, it’s very handy in light survival tasks. And for an affordable machete – not bad!
Best Machete With Exquisite Finish
Woodman’s Pal 2.0 – Machete
Size – 19.06 x 7.44 x 2.91 inches
Blade Material – Steel
Blade Type – Plain edge plus hook; Fixed blade
Weight – 3.03 lbs
Manufacturer – Skyline Toolworks LLC
Overall Score:
86
The Bottom Line:
No need to worry about rust with one of the finest machetes ever created!Pros
- Looks cool and classy
- Versatile
- Durable and rust-resistant
- Easy to sharpen with good edge retention
- Secure grip with hilt and knuckle guard
- Durable and classy leather sheath
Cons
- Very expensive
- Uncomfortable grip
- Might be too heavy
- Less sharp
Summary
The Woodman’s Pal machete comes in either a leather or a hardwood handle. The wooden handle is less expensive, but we opted for the leather handle just to try it.
First of all…
This survival machete is expensive. Think four to five times our award winners. But its advantages are sky-high too! Now that’s out of the way…
The first thing we noticed was the uniquely designed high-carbon steel blade. It has a plain edge for cutting and slicing and an inwardly curved edge. This blade style is made for versatility.
We read the description and tried to use our Woodman’s Pal in everything they said it could do. Cutting, trimming, chopping, splitting, building, shoveling – we did those with ease!
Also…
It helps that the hilt and knuckle guard of the handle adds to the security of the grip. Although, it’s not as comfortable as I hoped. I was always close to blisters when I used the Woodman’s Pal.
I also had to exert more effort because it’s not that sharp, to begin with. That’s a little disappointing, considering the price we paid for this machete.
Not to mention…
It weighs more than our usual full-tang blade machete. But I guess that’s the price of durability. Woodman’s Pal has one of the most authentic and sturdy high-carbon steel we’ve seen. And its finish prevents it from rusting.
That’s why we’re so confident to bring this when we go fishing. It’s good for delicate food prep tasks too. And with proper cleaning before storage, this machete will last a lifetime!
And most of all…
It looks as expensive as its price, especially the leather sheath. Looks don’t matter more than utility when it comes to a machete. But it sure doesn’t hurt!
Best Quality Tactical Machete
Kershaw Camp 10 – Tan Machete
Size – 17.09 x 3.74 x 1.81 inches
Blade Material – 65Mn steel
Blade Type – Recurve; Fixed blade
Weight – 1.2 lbs
Manufacturer – Kershaw Sporting Goods
Overall Score:
84
The Bottom Line:
This machete shows consistent quality from handle to blade point!Pros
- Lightweight
- Durable overall build
- Durable and comfortable glass-filled nylon handle
- Sharp blade
- Good-quality build (finish, grind, etc.)
- Balanced weight distribution
Cons
- Expensive
- Not the best for delicate tasks
- Loose sheath
- Needs often honing
Summary
I’m telling you…
The Kershaw Camp 10 will impress you straight out of the box! No initial honing needed, no re-finish, no extra grinding, nothing. Simply take it out, and it’s ready to use.
The biggest problem about Kershaw Camp 10 is that it’s not that versatile. I can do lots of tasks with it, but I can do more with a cheap machete from this list.
So, light chores feel lighter with it, but not food prep because it’s too big. I would even classify this as a parang machete because of its blade style.
Still…
This has become one of my favorites because it’s easy to carry. Its size and weight are balanced, and it doesn’t feel bulky in my backpack.
Its nylon sheath is just okay in quality if a little loose. But what I like about it is that it’s lightweight and doesn’t add much to the overall weight of the machete.
But more importantly…
This is a durable tool!
My Kershaw Camp 10 withstood lots of chopping and batoning. I usually hone it after every trip, but besides the edge getting dull, I find no damage.
Best Tactical/Survival Machete With Long Handle
Cold Steel All-Purpose Tactical Machete with Sheath (Woodmans Pal 284)
Size – 41 x 4 x 2.4 inches
Blade Material – 1055 carbon steel
Blade Type – Straight Back blade, Thai sword-inspired; Fixed blade
Weight – 1.13 kg
Manufacturer – Cold Steel
Overall Score:
82
The Bottom Line:
If you’re to try a sword-like machete, it better be this Cold Steel one!Pros
- Relatively affordable
- Comfortable and secure grip
- Balanced weight distribution
- Easy to sharpen
- Good edge retention
- Rust-resistant
Cons
- Heavier and longer than other machetes
- Less durable blade
- Not for heavy nor delicate tasks
- Less sharp blade
Summary
To be honest…
I convinced my friends to try this Cold Steel machete to fuel my warrior fantasies. You can’t blame a guy for wanting a sword, right?
But we were surprised by how great it turned out!
Based on its affordable price…
We didn’t expect much from this Thai sword-inspired machete. But we were still disappointed by how careful we had to be when using it. After its first camping trip – with all the chopping and batoning – its carbon steel blades chipped off.
But it’s still sharp and useful even now. And even though we had to hone it before our first use – it was a little dull when it arrived – it retained its edge quite well.
Another thing…
My buddies don’t like its long blade and weight. Yes, it’s too long and heavy for a survival machete; I will not defend it. But it will surely defend me when I get attacked by a bear or something!
The best part there is that long blades will allow you to get as far from your opponent as possible while still causing them damage.
And this machete’s lengthy handle and balanced build make it easy to wield and swing. My friends just had to steer clear of my path when using it!
Best Tactical/Survival Machete With Rugged Sheath
Gerber Gear 31-002076N Gator Bolo Machete
Size – 2 x 6.5 x 28 inches
Blade Material – Carbon steel
Blade Type – Bolo; Fixed blade
Weight – 7.1 oz
Manufacturer – Gerber Legendary Blades
Overall Score:
80
The Bottom Line:
Strap this machete on your back or hang it on your belt loop without worry!Pros
- Relatively affordable
- Lightweight and balanced
- Durable handle and sheath
- Sharp blade
Cons
- Slightly uncomfortable and flimsy grip
- Poor edge retention
- Less durable blade
Summary
I was looking for a bowie machete to try. Instead, I found this Gerber bolo machete. Not exactly it, but close enough.
And to my surprise…
I liked this Gerber Gear machete better! Despite its size, it’s lighter than others, so it’s easy to swing. But it’s not made for splitting logs, especially the big ones.
I used this for rudimentary cutting jobs in my backyard and at the campsite, and I had no problems with it.
Except…
I have to hone it all the time. Its blade is sharp and sturdy so that it can chop in one swing. But also, after one use, it needs some sharpening.
But the edge doesn’t chip off if you’re careful, so that’s a good sign.
But most of all…
It has the best sheath of all the machetes at this price point.
I know that the sheath isn’t as important as the handle and the blade. But this is the thing that protects you when you carry the machete. And Gerber’s sheath does its job well.
I’m more comfortable strapping this thing to my belt than any other tool on this list. If that’s something you’re looking for, don’t pass this Gerber bolo machete up!
Why Trust Us?
We already have machetes in our gear. Also, we have survival knives, pocket knives, and whatnot. But we knew it was not complete without something we could use as a weapon. You just never know when the wild will turn against you.
That’s why…
My friends and I decided to get ourselves tactical machetes for when we were camping in unfamiliar territory.
But we weren’t going to commit to a machete just because it’s made of high-carbon steel. We had to see how it fares in the wild.
So, after testing it at home…
We went hiking and camping with one or two machetes in our bug-out bag. We did all sorts of chores with them and tried to see where their limits went. And our mission didn’t stop after one trip.
Weeks later, we talked about our experiences, made notes, and here we are! We finally finished this article which I hope will help you find the perfect addition to your gear…
Buyers Guide: How To Choose The Best Tactical Machete…
What are the different types of a tactical machete?
- Bowie machete – the blade is similar to a clip-point with a deep belly; made for self-defense.
- Kukri machete – the blade curves downward, almost like a boomerang, designed to fall fast on a target.
- Parang machetes – long blade with a pointed tip, wide middle, and fine end; designed for versatility.
- Latin machete – usually with a straight back blade; designed to have multiple purposes.
- Others.
Features to look out for:
- The best choice for chopping is something with a deep belly, like a large bowie knife or a panga knife.
- A parang machete has different uses in each part of its blade.
- Finger grooves, guard, and hilt gives a secure grip.
- The epoxy black powder coating of high-carbon steel blades will prevent rust and extend the machete’s lifespan.
- Even a long knife can do delicate tasks if it has a skinner tip.
- Tactical machete and specifications explained:
A tactical machete is a long, thick blade for combat or self-defense. But you can also use it in different camping chores when you’re in no imminent danger.
- Size – this is a factor of versatility and portability.
- Blade material – this is the biggest durability factor, and it affects the weight of the machete.
- Blade type – knowing this lets you know what kind of machete it is and where you can use it.

These are things to consider:
- A micarta handle (like linen, denim, or wooden handles) is comfortable to grip but is generally less durable.
- A nylon or polyester sheath is better for you, but a leather one is safer for your blade. You just have to choose which one’s more important!
- A thicker blade is more effective in its purposes, but you must consider if you can wield such added weight.
Tactical Machete Top Tips:
- Latin machetes might be common, but their design is timeless. It’s more versatile and tenacious than the modern styles we see in blades today.
- If your primary job is clearing brush, the best machete for you is one with a narrow blade that’s easier to swing.

Our Analysis, Comparisons & Test Results
Value for Money
Rich or poor alike, we all want the best value for our money. And let’s face it – expensive machetes aren’t always the best.
These survival machetes met most of our expectations based on their prices.
And those that exceeded them are…… none other than our Editor’s Choice SOGfari and Best Value Gerber Gear Gator machete. They prove that a cheap machete doesn’t have to be cheaply made!
Ease of Use
This metric is mostly defined by our first-hand experience.
Simply put, we judged the machetes by how tired we were after using them.
And the biggest factors of this metric are size, weight, balance, grip, and overall build.
We found out…
The machetes in this list are the easiest to use out of all we’ve tried. They’re portable and lightweight. They also have the most comfortable and secure grips.We saw those, especially in our Best Value Gerber Gear and Top Pick KA-BAR Kukri machetes!
Durability
This is where we didn’t compromise our standards. But we based our expectations on the prices of the machetes.
For Durability, we considered the blade material, handle, sheath, overall build, etc. And the real test was our experiences.
In the end…
These machetes proved to be rugged and tenacious. We subjected them to cutting, slicing, batoning, sawing, and all the things they were advertised to do. And we did those in different weather.They all came with minimal damage, especially our Editor’s Choice SOGfari, our Top Pick KA-BAR, the Japanese NATA tool, Woodman’s Pal, and the Kershaw Camp 10!
Sharpness
My friends and I think that this is the most important metric. After all, what are survival machetes good for if they can’t cut, right? So we had high hopes for these products in terms of Sharpness.
And surprisingly…
The affordable ones – Editor’s Choice SOGfari and Best Value Gerber Gear Gator – are the sharpest. They could cut through the paper test straight off the box. The others we had to hone before we could use them.
But the ones with the best edge retention are SOGfari, Japanese NATA, Woodman’s Pal, and Cold Steel.
Craftsmanship
There are lots of factors that affect the Craftsmanship metric. That includes the blade features like blade composition, blade shape, primary grind, and others. We looked at the handle and sheath too.
Also, we had to consider the overall look and design of the machete.
Overall…
We were impressed by the machetes that got to our top ten list. Special mention to Woodman’s Pal for that premium look and Leopcito for its patterned blade.But it’s our Top Pick KA-BAR Kukri that won this award!
Our Final Verdict: Best Tactical Machete
Overall…
SOGfari, Gerber Gear Gator, and KA-BAR Kukri made it to our top three. They’re all affordable, durable, and sharp machetes. No wonder they’re award winners!
But all the others have their strengths too. And hopefully, you found one or two that suit your specific needs…
Conclusion: Best Tactical Machete
There you go!
Fighting off bears, building shelters, and preparing food in the wild is more fun with a great machete. And what makes a great machete?
It has to be razor-sharp like the SOGfari, Gerber Gear Gator and Bolo, KA-BAR Kukri, Japanese NATA, and Kershaw machetes. Those will surely get the job done!
And also…
Your machete should withstand all that pounding and swinging that you do. In our experience, the SOGfari, KA-BAR Kukri, Japanese NATA, Woodman’s Pal, and Kershaw last long.
But you can go for the KA-BAR Kukri, Leopcito, or Woodman’s Pal. That’s if you’re looking for something that will make you look menacing but classy. No one’s judging you, don’t worry!
Whatever it is, buddy…… you won’t regret buying one of these machetes. So, get them, and we’ll see you in the wild!
