The Machai from Spartan Blades gets it's name from the Machai of Greek mythology, the spirits of battle and combat. In an effort to live up to such a name, the Machai is purpose built for tactical use. It's got a long and thick blade made of 1095 Cro-Van steel with a deep recurve and a saber grind, so you can chop with all your might with this knife, and it will just ask for more.
