Description
The Barong is common throughout all of Southeast Asia. Often used as an agricultural tool, it is also known as a savagely effective implement of warfare.
A popular blade style within the Filipino martial arts, the Barong has a fearsome reputation for inflicting massive wounds and deep slashing cuts.
The Barong also makes an excellent bushcraft tool. Cleaving vines and branches with ease. Its classically shaped down-turned polypropylene handle anchors the blade in the hand and helps to resist centrifugal forces when making a hard chopping or slashing strokes.
Its beautifully curved 18 inch leaf shaped blade is made from 1055 Carbon Steel with a baked on, matte black finish to aid in rust resistance, and each Barong comes complete with a Cor-Ex sheath for ease of carry and convenience of use.
Many of the employees here at Cold Steel, including our company President Lynn C. Thompson are practitioners of the Filipino Martial Arts and have great admiration for the Barong. We are proud to release this new interpretation of the classic Barong to our modern tactical Machete offerings.

Description
The shining star of many of our recent performance tests, our new All Terrain Chopper will out-cut many Machetes, and even put some swords to shame! The sheer cutting power harnessed within the All Terrain Chopper's big, wide, slant-tipped, fully sharpened blade has to be seen to be believed! A well-placed swipe from this powerhouse of a machete will lay waste to almost any obstacle the wilderness may lay before you. Worn either slung over the shoulder or across the back in its weight-distributing carry sheath, the All Terrain Chopper is surprisingly comfortable even when worn for extended periods of time.
Several of our crew members put our carry sheath to the test by wearing the All Terrain Chopper all day while working in our warehouse, training in our gym and going about their usual daily activities. Despite the size and heft of this Machete, all reported back that they found the All Terrain Chopper very easy to wear and that they quickly forgot they were even carrying it!Exhaustively field tested in Australia by Lynn C. Thompson the All Terrain Chopper proved to be a stalwart hunting and wilderness survival companion. More than just a machete, and the next best thing to an axe, it packed astonishing chopping power into an easy to carry package.
A great addition to a load out, the All Terrain Chopper delivers superb performance when you need it.
