Cold Steel Barong Machete
The Barong is common throughout all of Southeast Asia. Often used as an agricultural tool, it is also a popular blade style within the Filipino martial arts.
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 at Cold Steel, including the company President Lynn C. Thompson are practitioners of the Filipino Martial Arts and have great admiration for the Barong. Cold Steel were proud to release this new interpretation of the classic Barong to Cold Steel's modern Machete offering.
