Vanguard Cleaver – Tactical Parang Machete by Everest Forge

The Vanguard Cleaver is a bold reimagining of the traditional parang machete—fused with modern tactical enhancements and functional design. Hand forged in Nepal by expert smiths, this full-tang machete is a combat-ready, brush-clearing powerhouse. Designed for serious outdoor users, survivalists, and those who demand more than tradition alone, this blade delivers heavy chopping performance with advanced control and edge retention.

Crafted from 5160 carbon steel reclaimed from truck leaf springs, the blade features a cleaver-style chopping profile, a spine-thick full tang, and a forward-weighted balance optimized for deep cuts. The polished 15-inch blade includes decorative weight-reducing holes and a guard-integrated ricasso, offering enhanced protection and better handling during high-impact tasks.

The ergonomic handle is carved from polished rosewood and shaped with finger grooves and a flared pommel for better grip retention. Secured with steel rivets and built into the tang, the handle ensures control even in wet or gloved conditions. A handcrafted scabbard made of cottonwood and wrapped in leather provides a secure fit for carry and storage. This is not just a cutting tool — it’s a statement piece and a reliable companion in the wild.
