100% handmade in the UK - The Chopra Machete Darth was designed to limb trees, make camp, clear trails and process wood. 

 

The Chopra Darth features a Black smooth blade coating with a choice of either:

A.) dark green paper Richlite Handles paired with OD G10 Liners, or

B.) black coyote camo pattern Richlite with blood red G10 liners.

 

The Chopra Darth has the heft and blade geometry to fell a multiple-trunk Hazel with ease.

 

It's upswept cutting edge keeps the weight raised and better balanced throughout a swing. The forward weighted blade gives a significant chop – biting deep into hard wood and removing branches with ease.

 

The Chopra Darth replaces the need for a hatchet and cleaver when out in the bush. 

 

This spine shape has three major advantages over other machete designs:

 

1. The weight is where you want it - right over the blade 'belly' where most leverage and balance will be concentrated in a downward chop.

2. Batoning has a level platform to strike. This reduces the chance of wayward swings deflecting off the spine.

3. Draw cuts provide enough blade for a secure grip with the supporting hand.

 

The Chopra Darth features a primary sabre grind and finished on a linishing machine to limit pinching and aid deep cuts.

 

it's made from CS80 Carbon spring steel for fast and effective sharpening and great edge retention. It will need sharpening from time to time and in CS80 this is easily achieved.*

 

The ergonomic sculpted handle is a handsome combination of functional modern and traditional SE Asian shapes.
 
The handle butt curves and swells to provide a comfortable and safe handle, giving hours of blister-free use. The handle length is extended to allow for extra leverage chops.
 
The 'choked-up' forward grip with generous finger guard and unique ridges on the front of the thumb rise give amazing control for detailed work. Whilst the mid-grip is a perfect compromise of power and dexterity.
 
The finger guard has been carefully designed. It is separated from the choil to avoid the index finger accidentally slipping onto the cutting edge. A concern when swinging a machete or larger knife for an extended period.
 
It is a skeletonised full tang construction offering weight saving for extended use and peace of mind when using this tool day in day out for serious work.

 

  • Each Chopra is individually numbered and features our founding designer's initials.
  • This blade is covered by our limited lifetime warranty.
  • Please note this coating is not impervious to wear and will show it's branch-battle-scars.
  • *As a carbon steel, you will need to keep your blade well cared for by keeping it dry and protected from rust.
  • We recommend using a light machine oil or Steel Guard Lubricating Cloth. After use, simply wipe off any dirt then wipe with the oiled cloth to keep the steel gleaming. The black coating does help keep this blade more resistant to corrosion than the plain steel variants.
