The officially licensed USMC Desert OPS Sawback Machete embodies the fighting spirit of the Marines with its rock-solid build and a reminder of the core values every Marine stands for running the length of the blade. The machete has a 17 3/10” stainless steel blade with an olive drab, matte finish and heavy-duty saw serrations running the length of the spine. Printed, in black, on the blade, are the words “Honor, Courage, Commitment.” The grippy handle has ridged ABS handle scales secured to the full tang with heavy-duty screws and an extended point pommel. The 24” overall sawback machete can be secured and carried in a tough and durable 600D nylon belt sheath with an adjustable shoulder strap.
