This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
Explorer Wood, Satin machete designed for tasks requiring strength, precision and durability - from brush work to camp operations. Martinez Albainox used 3Cr13MoV stainless steel in this model, which provides corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening in the field. Blade with a classic straight profile and large cutting surface can effectively handle cutting branches, reeds and other vegetation obstacles. Satin finish improves protective properties and reduces light reflections. The full tang design increases rigidity and reliability even under hard impacts. The whole is complemented by a handle made of wood, designed for a secure, safe grip - even with gloves and in wet conditions. Included is a black nylon sheath, for convenient carrying and quick access to the tool. This is a versatile and durable solution for users looking for a reliable machete for outdoor, survival or technical use.
3Cr13MoV is a martensitic chromium steel that has been enriched with molybdenum (Mo) and vanadium (V) to improve its performance properties. The typical chemical composition includes about 0.26-0.35% carbon (C), 12.5-14.5% chromium (Cr), 0.4-0.6% molybdenum (Mo) and 0.1-0.2% vanadium (V). The addition of chromium provides corrosion resistance, while molybdenum increases hardenability, high-temperature strength and resistance to pitting corrosion. Vanadium contributes to the hardness, wear resistance and fine grain structure of the steel. 3Cr13MoV is used for knives (often found in folding knives and hunting knives), medical tools and other applications where a good combination of corrosion resistance, hardness and strength is required. It is an improved version of 3Cr13 steel, offering better sharpness retention and overall durability.
Blade - Straight Back type made of 3Cr13MoV stainless steel, which provides resistance to moisture and ease of sharpening in field conditions. Satin finish improves mechanical resistance and prevents light reflections. The straight profile and low flat grind promote dynamic cutting and increase efficiency when working with thicker vegetation while maintaining a long cutting edge. The long cutting edge allows for wide sweeps, and the blade's robust geometry translates into efficiency in tasks that require a lot of force. The full tang design ensures the stability of the entire tool and eliminates the risk of breakage at the connection points.
Handle - is made of natural wood, which offers low weight, durability and good grip. Ergonomic profiling makes it easier to control the tool, even during prolonged work in difficult conditions. The surface structure reduces the risk of slipping from the hand. The simple, one-piece design promotes quick cleaning and maintenance, with no unnecessary wear parts. It comes with a sheath made of durable nylon, designed to carry the machete safely at the belt or in field gear. It's designed for users who value functionality, durability and readiness in all conditions.
