The machete's overall length is 435 mm and weight is 450 g. Does the machete blade spine have a saw? Yes. The spine features a saw-toothed section approximately 210 mm long, suitable for sawing smaller trees and branches or making notches. Can the back saw be used while the machete is in the sheath? Yes. The Kydex sheath is designed so that the smooth cutting edge remains covered, but the saw on the spine can be used. Before starting work, ensure the tool is fully and securely fixed in the sheath. What steel is the MachBlade W1 made of? The blade is made of Alleima 12C27 stainless steel. The manufacturer-specified hardness of 47–50 HRC helps maintain impact resistance and reduce brittleness for a long blade. Is the MachBlade W1 suitable for felling trees? The machete is suitable for removing brush, branches, and smaller trees. For felling thicker trees or splitting logs, a dedicated saw or axe should be used. Can the machete be used as an axe? The MachBlade is suitable for controlled chopping and brush removal, but should not be used as a heavy splitting axe. The blade should also not be used as a pry bar, chisel, awl, or screwdriver. Is the Kydex sheath included in the set? Yes. The set includes a Kydex sheath with a belt clip, 15 attachment holes, and a nylon attachment strap. How should the EKA MachBlade W1 machete be maintained? After use, the blade should be cleaned and thoroughly dried. To improve corrosion resistance, a thin layer of oil can be applied to the blade. According to the manufacturer, the Kydex sheath can be washed by hand or in a dishwasher. When is the EKA MachBlade W1 Orange the right choice? The MachBlade W1 is suitable if you need a long-bladed tool for removing brush, grass, and thinner branches, but also want to use the back saw. It is a practical choice for clearing trails, building a camp or shelter, and for lighter maintenance work around a country house. The EKA AxeBlade W1 is a better choice if your main tasks are short, forceful chopping or splitting smaller wood pieces. The CordBlade W9 or Nordic W12 are better suited for precise cutting tasks and food preparation. For thicker branches and trees, a specialized saw is safer and more effective. Expert recommendation The MachBlade W1 is most useful in situations where the work varies: first removing brush, then sawing a branch, and finally preparing tent pegs or kindling. The 450-gram weight makes the machete light enough to carry for extended periods, but controlled movements should be used when chopping. The lightweight construction does not replace an axe with a heavy head and long handle. Before striking, make sure there are no people, animals, or equipment in the direction or range of the tool's movement. Wear closed shoes, gloves, and preferably safety glasses. If the handle is wet or icy, clean it before continuing. When using the back saw, always keep the smooth cutting edge securely in the sheath and check its fixation. Sharpen the machete following the original approximately 20-degree angle and avoid overheating the blade. Machete with a long blade and back saw for outdoor work The EKA MachBlade W1 Orange combines a 310 mm cutting blade, approximately 210 mm back saw, grippy rubber handle, and versatile Kydex sheath. It is a practical tool for hiking, hunting camps, and country house equipment when you need to perform cutting, chopping, and sawing tasks with a single tool.
