The LT Wright Overland Machete is a handcrafted clearing tool built to take a beating. Its 12 inch blade is made from 1075 carbon steel, chosen for maximum toughness and impact resistance while staying easy to sharpen in the field. An ample 6.5 inch handle gives you comfort and control even with the largest hands or while wearing gloves, with handle slabs locked down by fisheye bolts and epoxy, plus front and rear lanyard tubes that double as a hand loop or a lashing point. A unique two stage patina finish helps resist tarnishing and rust, and we have to admit it looks pretty cool too.
Measuring approximately 19 inches overall with a full exposed tang built from 3/32 inch carbon steel stock, the Overland Machete is convex ground for a durable, hard working edge that keeps chopping when lesser edges would roll. Our guide to knife steels covers what makes 1075 a great choice for impact tools, and the convex edge touches up quickly with basic sharpening supplies. Whether you are clearing briars, bramble, bamboo, or small saplings, this may be the perfect tool for the job.
Carrying it is comfortable and practical thanks to the included kydex sheath, which will not attract or retain moisture and allows for fast, easy deployment. It carries the same hand built quality as every LT Wright fixed blade knife, proudly made in Wintersville, Ohio and backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
