Chhuri Machete – Black Finish Hand-Forged Outdoor Blade for Bushcraft and Survival

The Chhuri Machete is a powerful, no-nonsense outdoor tool forged for real survival work. Built with a broad cutting edge and solid full tang handle, this machete is ready to tackle the toughest wilderness tasks — from clearing dense vegetation to chopping wood, cutting meat or bone, and trail carving. Inspired by traditional Nepali field tools, this design is both time-tested and purpose-built.

Hand-forged in Nepal using 5160 high carbon steel recycled from truck leaf springs, the blade undergoes differential tempering to ensure a hard, razor-sharp edge with a resilient spine. The black finish not only adds rugged appeal but also provides rust resistance in humid, wet, or jungle environments. The machete is field-tested and comes sharpened for immediate use.

The 6-inch full tang handle is fitted with contoured rosewood scales and reinforced by three copper rivets. Unlike weaker rat-tail constructions, this flat tang design provides maximum strength and control. Balanced weight distribution ensures smooth swings and efficiency even during extended fieldwork. It includes a hand-stitched yak leather scabbard with a cottonwood core for secure storage and carry.
