Some may call it a machete, some may call it a sword, still others may call it one intense knife. We call it the Reaper 11005 Meridio's Machete -- the ultimate in everyday carry, tactical machetes. Featuring an 18" double edge black oxide coated 420 steel blade and a nylon-reinforced molded handle, the Meridio's Machete stands up to all uses with the ruggedness and style of battles gone by.
