ADVANTAGES
- AUSTRALIAN ROOTSThe BushMate was designed by Australian hunter Zobair Bary, drawing on the machete tradition behind Australian field and military tools. That background shaped a long blade made for real camp work: useful reach, purposeful balance and a handle built for sustained chopping.
- CHOPPING POWERExpert and user testing helped refine the blade geometry and balance. The 4.8 mm convex blade carries useful momentum into each cut, bites confidently into wood and supports a durable working edge—exactly why this is the harder-chopping BushMate.
- WHY CHOOSE THE CONVEXSee BushMate 420HC Scandi
- The AUS-8 Convex is the heavier BushMate. Its 4.8 mm blade carries more momentum into demanding cuts, while tough, corrosion-resistant AUS-8 is straightforward to maintain and resharpen. Prefer lighter, more precise woodworking? Compare the BushMate 420HC Scandi.
- BALANCED FOR REAL WORKThe extra blade mass does the work when cuts become demanding. BushMate’s carefully tuned balance helps turn that weight into useful chopping power, while the shaped walnut handle supports a secure, comfortable grip during sustained camp work.
- genuine sheathThe BushMate has a beautiful brown leather sheath with textured embossing.
The comfortable and ornate sheath stands out well from the plain sheaths of most machetes.
