The SM18B Survival Machete Bayonet© was designed to be a Survival Challenge Tool, (SCT). A SCT is a tool that you bring on a Survival Adventure and only allow yourself to bring 1 tool, (or knife or limited gear); as to increase the challenge and to get more proficient using only that one tool.

Progressive saw tooth spine. (Another Original Panacea X Innovation). Smaller saw teeth near the handle allow for more precision saw work to be done. (Example: shorten a bow drill spindle). Larger teeth allow cutting larger branches or trees more efficiently. Panacea X saw teeth are sharpened, we have the best performing saw back machete in the industry. The teeth on the SM18B are “set” so that the kerf is wider than the blade which reduces binding. Sawing with a good saw is more efficient, energy wise, than chopping.
