Martindale Jungle Machete with Wood Handle 450mm Crocodile Blade Heavy Duty Outdoor Brush Clearing

The Martindale Machette Jungle with Wood Handle #14 450mm is a purpose-built jungle tool engineered for serious outdoor work. Known for the iconic Crocodile blade, this machete blends precision engineering with a lightweight, balanced feel that clears brush and secures trails with confidence.

Precision blade design for power and control

The Crocodile blade is crafted from hot rolled British Steel at Martindale’s own mill, delivering a dependable edge with every chop. Its tapered strip section optimizes weight distribution, enhancing chopping and cutting performance so you can work longer with less fatigue. Each face of the blade features three grooves that actively aid removal from sapwood, keeping your cut clean and reducing snagging in dense branches. These grooves extend to the tang, forming a mechanical lock with the handle for dependable, all-in-one integrity during demanding tasks.

Durable, comfortable handling

The Jungle machete combines a straight 450mm (18") blade with a robust wooden handle crafted from German beech. The handle is cross-sawn and steel riveted, delivering a secure grip and exceptional stability even in slippery or sweaty conditions. This thoughtful construction translates to a tool that feels natural in the hand, giving you precise control when guiding cuts through tangled vegetation.
