Cold Steel breathes new life into a classic knife used by British and American special forces during World War II and called the
Smatchet.
Famed for its countless exploits in the trenches, the rubble-strewn streets and the thick jungle, it carved out a reputation for
fierce effectiveness that still echoes today.
A knife that gained much of its notoriety in the hellish melee of trench warfare, the smatchet was all about function. Its flat,
heavy blade struck fear into the enemy and provided a distinct psychological edge to the wielder. Just holding a smatchet
instilled confidence and a grim determination. Its very name became a byword for guts, glory and bravery.
Cold Steel's modern interpretation of this true military classic features the same instantly recognizable broad, false-edged
spear-point blade with the addition of a strong steel-reinforced guard and a contoured, comfortable handle made of weather-proof,
virtually unbreakable polypropylene and completed by a generous lanyard hole.
A formidable tool that can only be described as part machete, part short sword, Cold Steel's smatchet is fully sharpened and
coated with a rust-resistant matte finish that is baked onto the 1055 high carbon steel blade for extra durability.
Affordable, strong and reliable, the smatchet comes with a sturdy Cor-Ex™ sheath.
