The Kingfisher Machete | Hand Forged 21-Inch Jungle Blade with D-Guard  

The Kingfisher Machete is a rugged, purpose-built blade made for tough outdoor use. With a 21-inch unpolished high-carbon steel blade and a 7-inch rosewood handle featuring a protective D-guard, this machete is forged for real fieldwork—perfect for clearing brush, chopping wood, survival tasks, and heavy-duty bushcraft.

Hand-forged by the expert bladesmiths at Everest Forge, the Kingfisher Machete is crafted from 5160 leaf spring steel using traditional blacksmithing methods. Its full tang construction ensures strength and balance, while the raw, unpolished finish gives it a bold, utilitarian look. The D-guard provides extra hand protection and grip security during high-impact use.

It comes complete with a handmade scabbard crafted from cottonwood and wrapped in leather, offering traditional durability and ease of carry.
