REAT Machetes for Yard Work, Camping and Bushcraft
These are the long blades of the catalogue, made for trimming bushes, cutting trees back from a fence or trail and opening up a campsite. All of them are 420 stainless steel, most are full tang, and grips run from orange or green rubber to wood and cord wrap. Black is the default finish, with blue and green options for anyone who wants to spot the tool in the grass.
Length is the choice that matters most, and it is not always the number in the name. The 15- to 24-inch models are named for their blade, while the 26- and 27-inch cord-wrapped machetes are named for overall length and carry a 15-inch blade. Pick by how much reach the job needs and how much room there is to swing.

What to compare before buying a machete
Blade length versus overall length
A 26.5-inch machete in this line has the same 15-inch blade as the 15-inch green model, plus a 7-inch handle. The 24-inch and 25.5-inch machetes reach further than any of the cord-wrapped 26- and 27-inch ones. Measure the edge you need, not the box.
Saw back or plain chopping edge
The 16- and 17-inch saw models put teeth on the spine, so a branch too thick to chop cleanly can be sawn through without a second tool. The longer 19-, 24-, 25.5- and blue 27-inch models combine machete, knife and saw blade functions. A plain 17-inch blade suits brush where sawing is rare.
Grip material in wet or hot hands
Non-slip rubber on the 15-, 16-, 17- and 24-inch models holds well when hands sweat or the handle is damp. Cord wrap on the 25.5-inch and the 26- and 27-inch machetes is light and gives a textured hold. The 19-inch model pairs a wood handle with a leather sheath for a more traditional feel.
Which mid-length REAT machete to choose
Light trimming and a bright handle
The 15-inch model with a green rubber no-slip handle is the shortest in the family and suits bushes, light yard work and camp chores. It also makes a practical gift for anyone who spends weekends outdoors.

The 17-inch full tang machete with a saw handles both chopping and sawing, so limbs along a fence line can be cleared in one pass. Its ergonomic no-slip handle helps over a long session.

The plain 17-inch full tang machete in black has a non-slip rubber handle and is a mid-length choice for garden work, bushcraft and cutting trees back from a path.

At 19 inches, the wood-handled model adds two inches over the 17-inch pair and comes with a leather sheath. It suits campsite clearing and yard work where a longer stroke helps.
