Cold Steel Tactical Machete: Ideal for Brush Clearing, Survival, Camping, and Outdoor Activities

The Barong, originating from Southeast Asia, has a dual role as both an agricultural tool and a formidable weapon in times of conflict. It holds a prominent position in Filipino Martial Culture and continues to be utilized by Martial Artists today.

Featuring a gracefully curved 18-inch leaf-shaped blade, the Barong is not only a symbol of strength but also serves as a practical bushcraft tool, effortlessly cutting through vines and branches. The traditional down-turned polypropylene handle adds to its appeal, ensuring a secure grip and stability when executing powerful chopping or slashing movements.

Crafted from resilient 1055 Carbon Steel, the Barong is further enhanced with a black baked-on anti-rust matte finish for increased durability. It comes complete with a Cor-Ex sheath for convenient carry and ease of use.

At Cold Steel, many of our team members, including company President Lynn C. Thompson, have a deep appreciation for the Barong and its significance in the martial arts world. We are excited to offer our modern interpretation of this classic blade as part of our tactical Machete collection.
