Kukri Machetes

Machetes for Gardening, Bushcraft and Outdoor Use

Garden Machetes

A garden machete is one of the most practical tools you can own for clearing overgrown areas, cutting back hedges, and managing thick vegetation. Unlike secateurs or loppers, a gardening machete handles dense brambles, ivy, and woody stems in a single pass. We stock garden machetes with blade lengths from 30cm up to 55cm, all with ergonomic handles designed to reduce hand fatigue during extended use. If you are looking for a machete for gardening that can handle everything from light pruning through to clearing neglected plots, this collection has you covered. Our gardening machetes ship from the UK and are legal to purchase for legitimate use.

Bushcraft and Survival Machetes

For outdoor use beyond the garden, our bushcraft machetes are built for trail clearing, camp setup, wood processing, and general survival tasks. A bushcraft machete needs to be tough enough to handle repetitive chopping without losing its edge, and light enough to carry on a hike without adding unnecessary weight. We carry carbon steel and stainless steel options across a range of blade profiles. Kukri style blades are weighted forward for heavier chopping, while straight blade machetes give more control for finer cuts. If you are after a survival machete for camping, hiking, or bushcraft trips in the UK, browse the collection above and check the blade specs on each product page.

Blade Styles and Materials

Every machete in this collection is built from either high carbon steel or stainless steel. Carbon steel holds a sharper edge and is easier to resharpen in the field, but needs oiling to prevent rust. Stainless steel requires less maintenance and resists corrosion, making it a better choice for wet conditions. Blade shapes vary from the classic straight machete through to kukri, bolo, and parang profiles, each designed for different cutting tasks. Handles are wrapped rubber, moulded polymer, or wood depending on the model, all designed for a secure grip in wet or dry conditions.
