Available in 13" and 18" sizes, it offers rust resistance, long-lasting sharpness, and a secure grip designed to minimize fatigue, backed by a limited lifetime warranty. ## Description Product Description SOGFARI 13" or 18" MACHETE KNIVES SOGfari machetes are crafted to be reliable, multipurpose tools for anyone venturing into the outdoors. Each machete is equipped with a durable, high-carbon stainless steel blade, carefully constructed to maintain sharpness and resist corrosion in the face of tough conditions. Adding to its utility, the spine of the blade features a built-in sawback with sharp, aggressive teeth, allowing users to saw through branches, saplings, and even harder materials without needing to switch tools. This combination of a slicing blade and a sawback makes the SOGfari machete an efficient choice for any cutting or sawing task that outdoor work demands. The handle of each SOGfari machete is crafted from high-quality Kraton, a rugged and comfortable material that offers an enhanced, non-slip grip for confident control during use. The handle's design is carefully textured and ergonomically shaped to reduce hand fatigue, which is particularly important for prolonged tasks like clearing brush, cutting firewood, or building shelter. For added convenience, the handle is outfitted with lanyard holes, allowing for easy attachment of a lanyard to keep the machete secure and within reach at all times. From the Manufacturer These machetes are exciting additions to the SOG family. Machetes are one of the more useful edged tools in the world. They have cleared brush, and blazed trails, have chopped wood, made shelters, harvested crops, prepared meals, hunted and protected. Careful attention has been given to the SOGFari to make sure that the weight was right and the handles were comfortable for extended use. Whip them through the air and hear them sing. We've added a real working saw on the back of the blades with teeth that cut deep. Extended out of the back of the handle is a spiked tang for pounding and scraping. There are even holes in the handle to mount lanyards. Review: SOGfari machete.. one of my favorite items i own - The SOG 18" machete exceded all of my expectations. Its factory edge was very sharp, but not razor. (When i say very sharp, i mean REALLY sharp, just not the sharpest possible.) When i took it out of the package i had the immediate desire to test it out. It shred the card board bow to pieces. However i may also add that it is not of entire importance for a machete to be RAZOR sharp. other SOG products that i have purchased were sharper with the factory edge, perhaps with the price difference and the purpose of the item. I slightly ajusted the edge with one of those small yellow smiths brand sharpeners (can be found at walmart for about $3 dollars,) on the ceramic side, and its razor sharp now. I dont completely recomend using the same sharpener only becuase its quite cheap, and sog knives should all be professionaly sharpened, becuase of the price.. but me being the person that i am, i am too impatient to send it in and wait for it to come back, or even spend the extra bills when i could be saving those on a new edition to my collection. A razor edge is my prefrence for all my knives. all of the SOG products i have purchased are Magnificent in quality and never let me down. Honestly, before you leave to look at cheaper products so you can buy more for your money, WAIT. I just want to tell you that cheap generic or poorly made knives are NOT worth it. If you dont have enough money for a better product from companies like Benchmade, SOG, Spyderco, Ontario Knife Company, or Kershaw, then dont waste your money on something that will dull or be damaged very quickly. Better knives are worth the extra money and the difference is an inevitable experince. Trust me on this one. If youre really anxious, and just need to buy something because your money is burning a hole in your pocket, purchase a good gerber knife. Still a higher quality knife company, but it saves you a lot of money and it is a good start if you like to collect knives and such like i do. Review: I've put this machete through it's paces and it is GREAT! - I have read alot of bad reviews about this machete and can only assume either a bad series of them that came out or people who don't have the hand strength to hold it right. I took this machete into the woods along with my father, brother and a few friends who were all toting chainsaws. We were clearing lanes for deer hunting, and by the end of it, they were all prepped to order this machete. This thing is light and incredibly strong, and has a comfortable handle that provides for great grip even at the end of a long day. Though, I would have to agree that the sheath leaves something to be desired. I've cleared entire sections of our 120+ acre property with this machete alone, having only to yield to the chainsaws on really big stuff(4+ inches). I have used it through 2 separate 2 day sessions swinging this thing for 6+ hours a day, and I am not dissapointed. I cut down what amounts to hundreds of saplings and limbed hundreds of more old-growth trees. I have just purchased another one as well as the 13" version and will leave both with my sister, who lives full-time on the property, because she was in awe at the efficiency at which I could clear trails and lanes. On the first day of use, in an attempt to take down a large tree at the base, I did manage to put a slight bend\nick in the blade face, because I didn't swing hard enough to make it through in the first hit, and I came through at a strange angle. Two minutes with a hammer and concrete garage floor fixed that, and I haven't had another issue since. This will be a permanent addition to my woodland toolbox. Now I just lash it to my ATV any time I'm out in the woods. ## Features - 18" MACHETE - Equipped with a robust saw on the back of the blade, SOGfari machetes are designed for ultimate versatility and rugged outdoor use; the 13" steel machete is more compact and easier to handle for shorter, controlled movements - STAINLESS STEEL - The blade itself is crafted from high carbon stainless steel, delivering long-lasting sharpness, resilience to wear, and resistance to rust and corrosion, even in challenging environments - DUAL-FUNCTION SAWBACK SPINE - The dual-function sawback spine allows users to switch from chopping or slicing to sawing through tougher materials like branches, making these machetes ideal for both precision tasks and heavy-duty clearing - TEXTURED HANDLE - The machete's handle is carefully textured and contoured for a secure, comfortable grip, ensuring stability during prolonged use, even in wet or muddy conditions; perfect for minimizing hand fatigue while maximizing control and safety - SOGFARI SERIES - SOGfari machetes are the go-to tools for survival, exploration, and adventure, perfectly suited for tasks such as trail clearing, campsite preparation, and even emergency survival situations ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0038A3VF0 | | Best Sellers Rank | #293,988 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #34,774 in Hunting Equipment | | Blade Length | 18 inches | | Blade Material | Alloy Steel | | Blade Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Brand | SOG | | Brand Name | SOG | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,536 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00729857992596 | | Hand Orientation | Right | | Handle Material | Kraton | | Included Components | SogFari Machete 24 inch | | Item Dimensions L x W | 24"L x 2.5"W | | Item Type Name | hunting-saws-and-machetes | | Item Weight | 15.7 ounces | | Manufacturer | SOG Specialty Knives & Tools | | Manufacturer Part Number | MC02-N | | Model Number | MC02-N | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Product Style | 18" Machete | | Style | 18" Machete | | UPC | 729857992596 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Limited lifetime warranty | ## Product Details - **Blade Length:** 18 inches - **Blade Material:** Alloy Steel - **Brand:** SOG - **Handle Material:** Kraton - **Style:** 18" Machete ## Images ![Sogfari 13" or 18" Stainless Steel Survival Machete Knives | Saw on The Back of The Blade, Textured Handle, Nylon Sheath - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51X4ffzJdNL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does the sheath have a belt loop?** A: Yes it does. It uses thin nylon and you probably want to use a 2 inch belt on it. Not supper strong.. **Q: Is it durable the hole thing and the blade** A: It absolutely is. Handle, blade, even the case/sheath is fairly durable. I hunt in northorn PA and use this frequently to clear paths through mountain laurel. Excellent tool. **Q: What is the quality of the blade?** A: The blade seems to be of high quality. The saw edge is very sharp. It is not flimsy like others I have owned. I actually have two of these. **Q: Would it cut off an arm with ease? Or big chunky legs?** A: It comes from the factory with a decent edge but in order to get the results you are looking for a good sharpening will have you amputation ready. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ SOGfari machete.. one of my favorite items i own *by J***S on January 11, 2011* The SOG 18" machete exceded all of my expectations.

Just sayin... *by K***R on June 16, 2018* Just purchased this machete, and at 1st impression, I like it. I own other SOG knives and love them (PUP). Very good quality knives IMHO. This machete doesn't equal my other SOGs IMO, but it didn't cost as much either. For the money, I think it is a very good buy in it's price point. It is sharp out of the box, but I took a couple swipes at it with a diamond fine stone and in a few seconds, got it even sharper. Yes, I have seen some of the video reviews that resulted in chunks, and bends of the edge. However, all those were chopping freaking trees down with it. Way over what a machete is designed for. They are designed to clear brush and weeds (small under 1" diameter branches maybe). If you want to chop trees down, maybe buy a hatchet per it's design for that, and not judge a machete against an hatchet's purpose? I think this will serve me just fine. The handle shape if fine, but as stated in other reviews, a bit thin for my hands. But I wrapped it in para-cord, and that thickened up the blade and fits just fine in my hand, and provided a better grip, along with a wrist lanyard. Is this the best machete? Probably not. There are probably much better ones at much more cost, but for under $20, I think this may be the best in it's price point. I will add to this review after some use. But I don't think you can go wrong for a low cost utility blade. ## Frequently Bought Together - SOG Sogfari 13" or 18" Stainless Steel Survival Machete Knives | Saw on The Back of The Blade, Textured Handle, Nylon Sheath - SOG Sogfari Kukri 13" Stainless Steel Survival Machete Knife | Saw on the Back of the Blade, Textured Handle, Nylon Sheath - SOG Entrenching Tool- 18.25 Inch Folding Survival Shovel with Wood Saw Edge and Tactical Shovel Carry Case- Black (F08-N) --- ## 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.us/products/3103573-sogfari-13-or-18-stainless-steel-survival-machete-knives-saw](https://www.desertcart.us/products/3103573-sogfari-13-or-18-stainless-steel-survival-machete-knives-saw) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-05*
