Breeden Derecho by APOC – Fallout Series Hybrid Sword/Machete
Price:
$169.99
When you need one tool that chops, hacks, slices and thrusts, the Breeden Derecho answers. The 18.25" (46.36 cm) 1075 carbon-steel blade carries enough forward weight to bite deeply, yet the overall package stays nimble at about 1 lb 15 oz (0.88 kg). The atypical, reinforced tip geometry excels in penetrating tougher targets while the full-tang construction keeps things bombproof. The handle’s pierced black canvas Micarta scales over APOC Red G10 liners mimic a tsuka-ito pattern for traction, and the smoothed spine and liners keep hot spots at bay during extended work. A lanyard hole adds retention options. The included scabbard uses a MOLLE-compatible Kydex throat/locket on a fiberglass shaft for secure, versatile carry in the field.
Large choppers that straddle sword and machete roles have long served explorers and soldiers—from Latin American machetes to Asian dha and katana-inspired field blades. The Derecho draws on that heritage and folds in modern materials, echoing Japanese lines in its handle geometry and blade profile while embracing the pragmatic, apocalyptic functionality APOC is known for.
