Barong Machete – Hand-Forged Jungle Leaf Blade for Survival and Outdoor Use

The Barong Machete is a powerful and historically inspired leaf-bladed tool forged for real use in dense environments. Based on traditional Southeast Asian jungle weapons, this machete offers a broad belly for deep cuts, a sharp single edge for slicing, and excellent weight-forward balance for aggressive chopping.

Hand-forged from tough 5160 spring steel and water-tempered for resilience, this blade combines heritage form with modern durability. The compact 14-inch blade delivers excellent chopping performance without compromising control, while its sharpened edge makes quick work of thick vegetation, small limbs, or camp prep. The full tang construction ensures long-lasting strength.

The contoured rosewood handle is shaped for a natural grip with excellent reach, secured by steel rivets for strength. A custom-fitted scabbard—crafted from wood and wrapped in genuine leather—offers protection and portability, whether you're trekking through the jungle or setting up basecamp.
