The Cojang Jungle Machete is based on the research into Sumatran designs by Joe Flowers. Interested in the Klewang and Cojang style swords and tools, a replica was finally tracked down from a rare antiques dealer in San Francisco. This turn of the century piece was designed for a full tang version. The result is an extremely well functioning lightweight machete. The field testing came back with excellent results. The Cojang Jungle Machete starts out with a 6 mm tapered blade, 20 inches long, that thins out to just under 2 mms at the tip with a huge distal taper making it extremely lightweight. Instead of the Horn style blade, we opted for a full tang handle that uses the traditional projection at the end of the handle to incorporate an exposed lanyard, while adhering to aesthetic tradition of this legendary blade.
