Review: This is the one you're looking for. - This is near perfect, especially for the price. I've used a parang before, but the ones I've seen are either too thin/not full-tang, or too heavy. I've had a Brazilian machete I've used for years, but the edge rolled easily, the handle necessitated gloves, and it didn't hold an edge (even when it wasn't rolling). I have been looking for a capable machete to trim back thick saplings, tall grasses, and trim trees. I'll start with the pros: The d-guard protects your hands/knuckles, gives a firm grip, and is just the right size (I have slightly larger hands, so some handles are too small). The edge holds up very well, the black stays in the blade, no rolling, easy to sharpen, and it came razor sharp. It has a traditional apple seed shaped edge, so it holds up well when chopping or cutting while taking minimal effort to resharpen. The sheeth fits snuggly, doesn't add much weight, and secures well to the handle with a snap. 18 inches is the right length for most people and it's not heavy when you're swinging it. Cons: there's really just one thing, the handle material is way too smooth. I think I'm going to take a file or heat to it and add some texture. Final verdict: even at 3 times the price, this would be a great buy. Review: Nice! - Good Machete! I wrapped my own Paracord wrapping on the handle for extra grip. It's perfect in size & weight for my use, light enough to swing a lot, heavy enough to get the job done! I was a little skeptical about the handle when ordering but when it arrived, I had no more concerns, it's good. It comes already pretty darn sharp, but I touched it up on a wet stone, Oh yeah, and it holds a good edge! ## Features - Blade length: 18 inch - Overall length: 23 5/8 inch - Steel/material: 1055 carbon steel with black baked-on anti rust matte finish ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07B3WVK5T | | Best Sellers Rank | #312,466 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #468 in Martial Arts Swords | | Blade Length | 24 Inches | | Blade Material Type | Carbon Steel | | Brand Name | Cold Steel | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (68) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00705442018384 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Polypropylene | | Included Components | Machete, Sheath | | Item Dimensions L x W | 25.5"L x 3.75"W | | Item Type Name | Cold Steel, Machete, 18" Latin D-Guard with Sheath, Boxed | | Item Weight | 1.1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | GSM LLC | | Manufacturer Part Number | 97AD18S | | Model Number | 97AD18S | | Product Style | Latin D-Guard Machete - 18" | | UPC | 705442018384 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 2 Year Manufacturer | ## Product Details - **Blade Length:** 24 Inches - **Blade Material:** Carbon Steel - **Brand:** Cold Steel - **Handle Material:** Polypropylene - **Style:** Latin D-Guard Machete - 18" ## Images ![Cold Steel Latin D-Guard Machete 18" - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61z40QtnwbL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is the one you're looking for. *by N***Y on July 25, 2025* This is near perfect, especially for the price.

It's perfect in size & weight for my use, light enough to swing a lot, heavy enough to get the job done! I was a little skeptical about the handle when ordering but when it arrived, I had no more concerns, it's good.

I've cut down trees and thick brush with this without issue. Low maintenance blade. Sheath does it's job. Hand guard protects you significantly from debris, thorns or any over striking. Good weight. It won't fatigue you, but will cut very well. Is thin enough to do precision work near siding. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cold Steel Latin D-Guard Machete 18" - Rothco GI Type Plastic Machete Sheath Cover --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/105516472-cold-steel-latin-d-guard-machete-18](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/105516472-cold-steel-latin-d-guard-machete-18) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
