Jacob A
From the manufacturer
One tool, many applications

The design allows you to use the tool for a lot of household as well as professional uses including chopping wood, making shelters, harvesting crops, preparing meals, hunting and protecting.
Ergonomically designed for perfect grip and better use
Using a Machete comes with its own risk which if not held and handled well can lead to accidents. Hence, to ensure a safety, utmost care has been given to the construction of the Machete. The weight is checked for a better swing and the handles are comfortable and extended spiked tang is good for pounding and scraping.

I took this machete into the woods along with my father, brother and a few friends who were all toting chainsaws. We were clearing lanes for deer hunting, and by the end of it, they were all prepped to order this machete.
This thing is light and incredibly strong, and has a comfortable handle that provides for great grip even at the end of a long day. Though, I would have to agree that the sheath leaves something to be desired.
I've cleared entire sections of our 120+ acre property with this machete alone, having only to yield to the chainsaws on really big stuff(4+ inches).
I have used it through 2 separate 2 day sessions swinging this thing for 6+ hours a day, and I am not dissapointed. I cut down what amounts to hundreds of saplings and limbed hundreds of more old-growth trees.
I have just purchased another one as well as the 13" version and will leave both with my sister, who lives full-time on the property, because she was in awe at the efficiency at which I could clear trails and lanes.
On the first day of use, in an attempt to take down a large tree at the base, I did manage to put a slight bend\nick in the blade face, because I didn't swing hard enough to make it through in the first hit, and I came through at a strange angle. Two minutes with a hammer and concrete garage floor fixed that, and I haven't had another issue since.
This will be a permanent addition to my woodland toolbox. Now I just lash it to my ATV any time I'm out in the woods.
I have some nasty blackberries to knock down. Now I have the tool to do it. The machete arrived in retail bubble wrap, blade and case side by side in the hard plastic package. On opening the packaging, I confirmed that the black metal blade was sharp. Razor
sharp in 2 regions, sharp in 2 and 4. The blade is full tang inside a nicely crafted molded hard plastic grip. The balance is excellent, about 4" in front of the handle as center. It swings easily and the grip on the handle is firm.
The saw tooth side is sharpened, and comes with a (packaging) blade cover on the saw tooth side. I plan to keep it for covering the saw side when not in use., and during arm landing in MA.
The nylon case is adequate, I will find some other belt attachment system if I need to carry it.
I rate this blade 9 /10 - Buy it.
Old hater quotes are from early production runs. I can smell that the metallurgy is good... joking a little...

- le fil est un peu fragile et devra certainement être refait au fur et a mesure de l'usage;
- le poids est un avantage pour ce travail mais pour un travail de longue alène cela risque de devenir fatigant.
C'est un bon article en général avec un pris tout à fait admissible.
Pros:
1. This thing is tough. I don't think you could break it under any normal application.
2. One piece handle is comfortable enough and has a non slip texture.
3. Stainless steel blade won't rust and is less brittle than high carbon steel
4. Saw tooth back has offset teeth for faster and easier cutting.
Cons:
1. Kind of nit picking here but the sheath is made of nylon, not leather. Not surprising at this price point and I'm not even sure that leather would be better but it's the one main area that just seemed OK and not great. I'd love it if they offered a deluxe sheath for an added cost.
