Spartan Blades Machai Black 1095 Black Micarta Silver Line Fixed Blade SBSL002BKBK

In Greek mythology, the Machai were the daemons (spirits) of battle and combat. A fitting name for this heavyweight, recurve blade the Machai is a powerful chopper and would make a devastating battle tool. A full tang construction and strategic handle design provide for a forward balance in the hand while the ergonomic, textured canvas Micarta handle offers a confident grip when wet or dry. This version of the Machai comes with a blade of black powder coated, 1095 carbon steel with black Canvas Micarta handles and molded polymer sheath.

Brand new, direct from Spartan Blades, USA.

Blade: Made of 3/16 inch thick, 1095CV carbon steel, the recurved profile of the Machai is equipped with a high saber grind that offers powerful cutting performance and durability with a forward-weighted design that delivers powerful and efficient chopping performance. Finished with a durable, black powder coating the blade gains some corrosion resistance as well as being discreetly non-reflective. A jimped thumb ramp and forward finger choil offer excellent security and control when gripping close to the blade for slicing or precision chopping.

Handle: Mounted to the full tang blade with black oxide stainless hardware are dual black Canvas Micarta handle scales that have been contoured for comfort and milled with crosshatch pattern which enhances traction in the hand for a secure grip in adverse conditions. A neutral design makes the knife fast in the hand and comfortable in a variety of grip positions with a dual choil design that gives the option to grip close to the blade for control or toward the subtly flared pommel end for more leverage when chopping. A generous hole is provided for lanyard attachment.

Sheath: Carries via an injection molded sheath with active retention thumb lever and drop loop.

1095 CV High Carbon Steel: Based on 1095 carbon steel with the addition of small amounts of V, Mo, Ni, Cr. 1095CV or 1095 CroVan offers improved wear resistance and toughness compared to 1095, this steel is non-stainless and requires care to prevent corrosion.
