Designed by Trace Rinaldi, the 16.5″ Armageddon isn’t a true machete, but could easily be used as one. The idea behind this knife was a cross between a machete and large camp knife. Most machetes have a thin blade not meant for heavy cutting, but the Armageddon has 1/4″ thick 1095 high carbon blade with a flat-ground recurve shape to handle bigger jobs. It has Micarta handle scales and a ideal shape for a firm grip on tough jobs and an index choil for choking up on the blade for other more delicate tasks. Includes a durable ballistic nylon sheath with buckled exterior pocket. No matter what you call it, the Armageddon can handle any task you put it to. Made in the USA!
