A forward‑balanced chopping and combat blade inspired by the battle daemons of Greek mythology.

Named after the Machai—the fierce spirits of battle in ancient Greek lore—this KA‑BAR fixed blade is engineered for raw chopping power and field‑ready durability. Crafted in Olean, NY, the Machai features a 6.625" recurved blade made from 1095 Cro‑Van steel, delivering exceptional toughness and edge stability. The flat grind and forward‑weighted geometry amplify chopping efficiency, making it a formidable tool for combat, outdoor tasks, and heavy‑duty utility work.

A black powder coat protects the blade from corrosion and glare, while CE Canvas Micarta scales (available in black or green) provide a secure, confident grip in all conditions. Designed by Iovito, the Machai offers full‑tang strength, balanced handling, and the rugged reliability expected from KA‑BAR’s American‑made lineup.
