Description
CS97BTMS: 97BTMS Tanto Machete
Cold Steel
Cold Steel has prototyped a whole host of different short bladed Machete shapes over the years, but the Tanto remains one of the best they've tested. Although the "Americanized Tanto" is known primarily for its combative application, it also makes an excellent multi-purpose bushcraft blade. In their tests the Tanto Machete cut and pierced exceptionally well while remaining tough enough to endure hard use. Its solid full-tang construction and hard wearing weather-resistant polypropylene handle only add to its durability and functionality.

Pros: None
Cons: Blade Material, Finish, Blade Sharpness
Horrible quality
Cold steel used to be a quality product but they should be ashamed of the fit and finish on this product. The entire edge has a horrible burr. No appreciable edge to speak of. So disappointed.

Best buy
I own several cs machetes this is the first one that did not require considerable time with a stone to clean up and deburr the edge also the sheath was far better than average for a working machete out of the box it is money well spent
