Product Description

There'll be no TV cameras where you're using this machete.

There are knives you see on survival shows. Then there’s the real deal. With a generous sized blade, comfortable handle and reinforced nylon sheath this is the survival machete to use when the only thing you’ll be cutting to is your destination.

The Chanceinhell is a beefy fixed blade survival machete designed by award-winning custom knife-maker Ken Onion of Kaneohe, HI to be tough, strong, and work like an ox. A thick, carbon steel blade has a black powder coat that is durable in extreme environments. Built for hard use, it’s easy to sharpen after you've put the finishing touches on your handmade hotel in the woods.

Half the battle in any survival situation is with your own physical exhaustion. To combat that, the double injection molded handle is ergonomically designed to reduce hand fatigue and features multiple lanyard holes for varied grip options. The result is more efficient cutting action that’ll make thick brush R.I.P.

This machete includes a reinforced nylon sheath with a unique velcro belt loop system that can be changed between two positions: dangling or snug against the belt. An extra paracord fob comes laced onto the sheath for emergencies or lashing this machete to a pack, truck, or pack mule.

The Chanceinhell is the knife to grab for ensuring your own survival or that of a few Hollywood actors who are in over their heads.

It’s......ok : ( See update
First of all, if I’d done better research, I would have seen that it is a VERY light weight machete. My bad; that’s on me.Secondly, the design and ergonomics of this CRKT product are outstanding. The angle of the blade is perfect. The handle is extremely comfortable. ( Could stand for the handle to be larger. I’m 6’4” and the handle is a tad small for me. That shouldn’t be a detractor held against CRKT )I really wish the blade was much thicker. As hard on woods tools as I am, I can see me breaking it. I just need to break down and get the El Chete from Tops.Anyway, awesome design, too light for what I need it for. I’ll give it to one of my sons when they’re old enough.Just my limited two cents. Hope this helps someone. : )Update: I was wrong about this blade. I’ve been carrying it more and more because I didn’t care about damaging it; because I didn’t really like it, if that makes any sense?What I originally hated about this blade, it’s light build, has turned out to be an EXTREME plus! I really don’t even realize it’s on my belt until I need it. It really is handy.No, it’s not as versatile as my Condor heavy duty kukri, but for most walks in our woods it is actually very convenient without the excess weight and because of the decent price you’re not afraid of abusing it. I still wish the handle was larger.Sometimes it is good to be wrong. Lol. Anywho, I hope this helps someone. : )
