The Cold Steel Latin D-Guard Machete (brand part no. CS97AD18S) is a hybrid machete that combines the cutting power of Cold Steel’s Latin Machete with the hand protection of their Cutlass Machete. Built for use anywhere from the jungle to the farm, its non-slip, hard-wearing polypropylene handle and 65Mn steel blade are engineered to hold up in almost any environment. A thick, solid steel tang runs completely through the D-ring guard, giving a safe and secure grip during hard chopping, and the handle is fully encased in tough, weatherproof, injection-molded polypropylene that won’t crack or degrade with repeated exposure to the elements.
