Took it out in the Alaska bush and it handled everything like a champ, devil clubs, salmonberries, and decent sized branches. Hours of use and the edge stayed razor sharp with excellent retention. The weight is perfect, and the layered canvas handle feels amazing in my hands. Worth every penny. Review: Great Machete if you are willing to put a little into it - I used my belt sander to make the spine 90 degrees, used a leather strop with compound, this thing shaves hair off my arm, sharper than some of my knives, this is a great machete. Handle is very comfortable and you can get a wicked edge on this thing. The sheath does not hold the machete in and is potentially unsafe without modification. I added some additional leather straps with snaps to hold it in but you may want to upgrade this isn’t the future, would be nice is Esee modified this to address this. Update: i found this to be easier to use with smaller branches than a hatchet, edge stays. Razor sharp and does not roll. Excellent knife, my $200 fixed blades stay in their sheath while this thing works! Unbelievable! ## Features - Overall Length: 18.18", Blade Length: 12.38", Maximum Thickness: .094" - Blade Steel: 1075 Carbon, Rockwell Hardness 54-56, - Weight (Blade Only): 15.5 Oz, 20 Oz (With Sheath), Sheath: Canvas, Right Hand, Handle: Micarta - Mid-Sized Blade That Can Be Strapped To a Pack or Thrown In a Vehicle - Excellent Size For Light Chopping To Heavy Work ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B084D4NS1X | | Best Sellers Rank | #175,249 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #116 in Gardening Machetes | | Blade Length | 12.38 Inches | | Blade Material Type | 1075 Carbon | | Brand Name | ESEE | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (190) | | Hand Orientation | Right | | Handle Material | Black canvas micarta | | Item Dimensions L x W | 18.18"L x 4.5"W | | Item Weight | 15.5 Ounces | | Manufacturer | ESEE | | Product Style | Expat | | UPC | 811328025602 | ## Product Details - **Blade Length:** 12.38 Inches - **Blade Material:** 1075 Carbon - **Brand:** ESEE - **Handle Material:** Black canvas micarta - **Style:** Expat ## Images ![ESEE EXPAT Darien Machete with Nylon Sheath by ESEE Knives - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717EQg9Xt6L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this machete shipped in an official esee box with stickers? mine arrived without a box, stickers, or any esee collateral. is this normal?** A: The Darien is shipped from the factory in a polybag. The machetes from the ESEE Expat line ship in polybags instead of the boxes that the ESEE Knives ship in. **Q: Is this covered under esees lifetime no questions asked warranty?** A: I checked Esee's website and it does have the no questions asked warranty. **Q: Is this a real esee product? made buy esee?** A: No it is NOT. Very misleading product...With that said, I have been using mine for a while now and it does work well, once you get an edge put on it. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ESEE EXPAT Darien Machete with Nylon Sheath, best machete for Alaska bush adventures *by J***8 on January 5, 2026* Hands down the best machete I’ve ever owned.

Unbelievable! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice machete, sheath is loose. *by J***Z on September 10, 2024* I bought this for a hiking trip in the Appalachian mountains this weekend. It didn't get a ton of use, but was handy when it did. It feels great in hand, swings easily, and made short work of branches and thorny vines. It rained on the trip, and the blade and sheath got soaked. There was some rust on the blade the next morning, but it was very easy to clean off. The sheath does not hold the blade snug, even with the strap. In fact the strap seems to do nothing. I cut my thumb picking the sheath and blade up when the blade slid out a couple of inches. It can be avoided if very careful, but I feel the snap strap should be more secure. I like the machete enough that I ordered a custom Kydex sheath for it though. ## Frequently Bought Together - ESEE EXPAT Darien Machete with Nylon Sheath by ESEE Knives - ESEE Authentic JUNGLAS Survival Knife, Kydex Sheath, MOLLE Backing - Work Sharp Guided Field Sharpener, Compact Travel Hunting Knife Sharpener Tool --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/203133450-esee-expat-darien-machete-with-nylon-sheath-by-esee-knives](https://www.desertcart.us/products/203133450-esee-expat-darien-machete-with-nylon-sheath-by-esee-knives) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
