The sheer cutting potential harnessed within the ATC’s extra wide blade just has to be seen to be believed! Worn either slung over the shoulder or across the back in its weight-distributing carry sheath, the ATC is surprisingly comfortable even when carried for extended periods of time. Following exhaustive field tests, we found the ATC to be a stalwart hunting and wilderness survival companion. Much more than just a machete, and the next best thing to an axe, it packed astonishing chopping power into an easy to carry package, delivering superb performance. Review: Better than expected, awesome value - This arrived on time, in sturdy if not excessive packaging. The product is outstanding, exactly as pictured and the edge is of course a bit rough. With some work the edge is quite nice, it took less than 10 minutes to make this one workable. The sheath is plain and simple, with a few clips to keep the tool secure and not much else going for it. The Chopper is heavy and long, these two qualities equate to a sturdy tool. In terms of value, this was 10 bucks cheaper than the Kopis from the same company, both are well worth the price. I plan to buy more Cold Steel and recommend that you check this bad boy out. Be safe, this item has only one purpose and that is to DESTROY. If you are not safe it will touch someone. Review: "Some Folks Call It A Sling Blade" - Cold steel all terrain chopper. I ordered this prior to making a discovery that did not settle well with me. I had other comments on the subject but deleted them since it really does not matter. What matters is my action and behavior. People are going to hunt and people are going to eat what they kill. Most hunters kill much more humanely than the people that provide bacon on your plate. As much as I like the quality of cold steel items, I cannot continue to buy from a company where the president..aka Lynn Thompson,,,, enjoys killing leopards and hippos. All the time posting images with a poop eating grin next to the dead once beautiful living creature. I do not support trophy hunting. Period. So this will be my last cold steel item. It was somewhat sharp but I touched it up to a utilitarian edge. As heavy as this thing is not much more is needed. In my opinion only. I had some tree limb trimming to do and it cut through fine and clean. One still needs a little technique but that is easily learned. One handed swings are doable but it is not a balanced katana so I find two hands much more effective. It is a beast and a solid one at that. Reminds of sling blade wicked and would split a head or take a good bone breaking slice out of your leg if you missed. Be a fitting piece for the movie...you know the one. One of the lines goes like this. Doyle: What'cha doin' with that lawn mower blade Karl? Karl: I aim to kill you with it. ## Features - Incredibly tough with the weight-forward balance necessary to chop through vines, saplings, brush and even small trees - Sharp blade and point offers a multitude of survival and bushcraft capabilities - Tough full-tang steel construction and a tough polypropylene handle for a safe, secure grip - Made of tough and durable 1055 Carbon Steel with black baked-on anti-rust matte finish for extra protection - Includes a durable Cor-Ex sheath for added safety and carrying convenience; Dimensions: 16 in blade length, 6 in handle length, 2. 8 mm blade thickness, 22. 8 oz weight - Type: Machete - Steel: 1055 Carbon Steel w/ Black Baked on Anti Rust Matte Finish - Includes sheath ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BD54NRM | | Best Sellers Rank | #24,606 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #11 in Gardening Machetes | | Blade Length | 54.6 centimeters | | Blade Material | Carbon Steel | | Blade Material Type | Carbon Steel | | Brand | Cold Steel | | Brand Name | Cold Steel | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 384 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00705442010838 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Polypropylene | | Included Components | Machete, Sheath | | Item Dimensions L x W | 36"L x 5.6"W | | Item Type Name | Machete | | Item Weight | 8 ounces | | Manufacturer | GSM LLC | | Manufacturer Part Number | 97TMSTS | | Model Number | CSMCHTE | | Number of Items | 2 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Product Style | All Terrain Chopper | | Style | All Terrain Chopper | | UPC | 705442010838 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Knives & Blades: We stand behind our products 100%.

It is overkill for light stuff and you can wear yourself out if a lighter machete would do the same job. It came with a good working sharpness out of the box. In my experience, you don't want an overly sharp, thin edge on heavy machetes as the edge will chip cutting into larger diameter deadwood. The ATC machete is long, heavy and has space on handle for two hands to use. The long handle is nice for this reason when chopping larger diameter branches and trees and because it gives you extra reach. It is not an ax or a chainsaw but its weight and reach are an asset. I cleared a blackberry/black locust thicket with it and though it was a workout, it did the job that otherwise would have required a brush-cutter, machete and axe. I put black cotton friction tape on the hand grip as it does get slick from sweat, though not excessively so. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cold Steel 97TMSTS Machete, All Terrain Chopper w/Sheath, One Size - Cold Steel All Purpose Tactical Machete with Sheath, Great for Clearing Brush, Survival, Camping and Outdoor Activities, Garden & Camp Machete, One Size - Cold Steel All Purpose Tactical Machete with Sheath, Great for Clearing Brush, Survival, Camping and Outdoor Activities, Thai Machete, One Size --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/3401423-cold-steel-all-purpose-tactical-machete-with-sheath](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/3401423-cold-steel-all-purpose-tactical-machete-with-sheath) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-08-30*
