A first strike bends and rolls the blade as it strikes a small branch.

The razor is sharp as a sword. A razor that is sharp enough to use for shave. We ask that you not do so. I enjoyed how well it felt in my hand. The sheath felt durable and was easy enough to remove the blade from. It may only cost a few dollars, but it's well worth it if it holds up.

In a nutshell, In order to add a durable blade to my current bug out / survival bag, I knew a medium sized machete would come in handy. This brand has a very sturdy feel to it and I am happy with how it feels so secure in the holster that comes with it. The first thing I did was to test it out on some old wooden posts that we already had and I was impressed by how easily I could hack It appears the blades did show some wear after this, but to be truthful I think I just need to sharpen them more. A pre-release of it was made I have also oiled the blade so I will keep up with that to prevent rust.

The only part I do not like is that the button that stops the blade from falling out of the holster is not fully secure. Although it is not the end of the world, I would feel so much better if it closed.

It may have taken five minutes for the blade to chip after clearing small brush. My blade chipped two of the smaller ones before I even got through the larger ones. I used it on some saplings that needed to be cleared.

In the jungle, it is an essential tool. Having read about the quality of this machete, I crossed my fingers that it would be useful in Hawaii. This was a great experience for me! one of the best machetes you'll ever find! In addition to its solid feel, the handle and tang are also well balanced and the handle is just the right length and weight for my size, This is also a pre-release edition I sharpened it a lot, and it was extremely This purchase has been a great experience for me.

Despite its poor quality, the sheath is still a useful item. After just a few hours of using it on my belt, it cut all the way through to the edge-I was skeptical at first, but now I'm not so sure- When you draw it, it will have a side up at the top. In addition, the material of the plastic sheath is also substantially cut through. In addition to that, the bottom snaps of the sheath don't do a great job of holding it in place, which is not a problem if the top snap that goes around the handle of the blade is not extremely tight and is nearly impossible to snap together. The blade is really nice to me. My own kydex sheath will probably be made from this at some point, since this thing is terrible.

Despite my expectations, the knife appears strong and has a very sharp edge. I am impressed by its sheeth. My recommendation for this blade would be a resounding yes.

Very comfortable to hold in the hand, and a good amount of security. This is a razor sharp straight from the factory. You will not just find it floating out of your hand if it gets wet. I found it to be quite frightening. My mind easily wanders to the possibility of cutting myself without even noticing To test it, I actually shaved part of my arm hair to see if it worked. Razor produces a closer shave than the one I use to shave my beard. While this might be nice for shaving my neck, I won't try it! I am quite impressed with the yard work that you did to follow up. There was a light abuse there that it did not seem to notice, and it also stayed sharp.

The only complaint I have is that the sheath moves around when it's hanging from my belt. A tie down point near the bottom of the sheath might help resolve that issue. The blade is quite impressive from the outside and I would recommend it without a doubt.
