SOG SOGfari Tanto Machete

Today we have a great tool that can be used fro camping, hiking, or just about any outdoor adventure. It is a brand new tool from SOG and its called the SOGfari Tanto Machete. The length of the blade is 10" and it features a textured rubber grip that feels very nice in the hand. SOG already makes a regular SOGfari machete but this is the first time they have created a tanto version of the machete. Here is a close up look at this cool machete:

As you can see, it has a really cool look to it. After using it for a few weeks now, I have been very impressed with the sharpness of the blade for an extended period of time. It comes very sharp out of the package and holds an edge very well. I see no signs of dulling after many uses. Here are some links where you can go to check out more specifications of this compact but powerful tool:



Thanks for checking out today's product and check back in the near future for even more outdoor products!
