Ontario 18 In Sawback Machete

OKC 18 Inch Sawback Machete

Dual-Purpose Power. Built for the Backcountry.

The OKC 18 Inch Sawback Machete is a rugged, military-inspired cutting tool designed for serious outdoor work. Manufactured by Ontario Knife Company, this heavy-duty machete combines powerful brush-clearing performance with the added functionality of a sawback spine for tackling tougher tasks in the field.

Featuring an 18-inch straight edge blade, this machete delivers efficient chopping and slicing performance for vines, thick brush, and trail clearing. The sawback spine adds versatility, allowing you to handle light sawing tasks when needed. Crafted from durable 1095 high-carbon steel with a corrosion-resistant black zinc phosphate finish, the blade is built for toughness, edge retention, and long-lasting field reliability.

The high-impact polymer handle provides a secure, comfortable grip during extended work sessions, while the full-length design offers excellent reach and cutting power. Trusted for decades and built to U.S. military specifications, the OKC Sawback Machete is ready for demanding outdoor conditions.

Strong, versatile, and field-proven—this machete is built to handle serious trail work.
