Steel Machete
How to clean and care for a machete?
I recently bought a 20 ince steel machete from a army surplus store. It works great for clearing through any vegetation, but I am new to using a machete, and I do not know how to properly care for it. What is the best way to clean it and get ride of dirt, etc.? Thank you
What kind of oil do I use for it
Oil – light motor oil for the metal and mineral oil for the handle.
Even after washing and drying, steel tool heads are still susceptible to rust when exposed to oxygen. In fact, as a general rule, the better the grade of steel used, the more vulnerable it is to rusting. So, considering the high cost of quality gardening tools, it just makes sense to keep rusting to a minimum.

Cold Steel Kukri Machete $14.69 Cold Steel Machete Kukri, There’s no single edged weapon that can out-chop or out-cut a good Kukri. Of course it’s true that the best Kukris, like the LTC and Gurkha models, can be somewhat expensive. While those “thoroughbreds” perform extraordinarily well for the money that they cost, it sometimes seems that what’s required is a good, inexpensive, “workhorse” model. The Kukri Machete IS that … |
