ELI Machete – Hand-Forged Jungle Blade Inspired by Survival Cinema

The ELI Machete by Everest Forge brings cinematic legend into real-world functionality. Inspired by the iconic machete carried in the film, this blade is not a replica—it’s a fully operational survival tool forged for the field. Crafted by hand in Nepal from reclaimed 5160 high carbon spring steel, it’s designed to perform where it matters most: deep in the jungle, in the wild, or wherever survival demands a serious blade.

This 18-inch blade features a bold profile with a slightly forward curve that maximizes chopping efficiency. The water-tempered edge ensures durability and sharpness, while the carbon steel handle core is tightly wrapped in leather for a firm grip—even during heavy swings. With a full tang construction and a leather-wrapped wooden scabbard, this machete is built for strength, balance, and battle-ready aesthetics.

Whether you're a bushcrafter, outdoorsman, or a collector of film-inspired weapons with real forging, the ELI Machete is a piece that stands apart—functional, fearless, and forged for survival.
