Overview
Brushy trails, fence lines and campsites are the working ground for the Cold Steel Axis, a short machete with a high carbon steel blade. One edge chops and the other saws, and a textured rubber handle gives a secure grip.
Two working edges on one short blade cover chopping and sawing, so a single tool handles light clearing and limb cutting. Reach is limited by the blade length, and warranty terms are only given as see manufacturer.
Who it's for
Backpacks, truck kits and yard clean-up bags suit a short machete that chops and saws. People who clear large open areas of tall growth want a longer blade.
Pros and cons
- Chopping and sawing edges on one blade
- High carbon steel blade
- Textured rubber grip for secure hold
- Nylon sheath included
- Short blade limits reach and sweep
- Warranty terms not listed
- Soft nylon sheath, not a hard scabbard
Performance notes
Chopping power comes from blade mass and swing speed, so a short, light blade bites best on small limbs and brush. The saw edge works with back and forth strokes through wood too thick to chop cleanly, and the textured rubber handle governs how securely it stays in hand through repeated swings.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Cold Steel Axis a full-size brush machete?
No. Its blade is 11 inches on an 18 inch overall length, so it works like a large knife on small limbs and brush, not a long blade for sweeping tall grass.
What is the saw edge on the Cold Steel Axis for?
The dual-edge blade is listed for chopping and sawing, so the saw edge handles wood that cuts more easily with strokes than with chops.
Is the Cold Steel Axis machete left-hand friendly?
Yes. The handle is listed as ambidextrous.
What warranty does the Cold Steel Axis have?
The listing only says see manufacturer, so check Cold Steel's own terms.
