The Barong makes an excellent bushcraft tool. Cleaving vines and branches with ease. Its classically shaped down-turned polypropylene handle anchors the blade in the hand and helps to resist centrifugal forces when making a hard chopping or slashing strokes. The curved 18 inch leaf shaped blade is made of 1055 carbon steel with a baked on, matte black finish to aid in rust resistance, and each Barong comes with a Cor-Ex sheath for ease of carry and convenience of use.
