Survival Machete with Sheath for Cutting Trees, for Yard Work and for Bushcrafting Machetes Sickle Heavy Duty Machete for clearing Brush Garden Tools Construction Blade

I searched long and hard to make sure I would find what I wanted. This machete/cleaver has a really nice heft. It is a single piece of steel, and the blade is nearly 1/4" thick at the widest point. It is heavy. It is not a knife, but the blade is very sharp, and the weight makes it ideal for chopping as well as cutting. The handle is made of wood and a little rough, but still nice. The sheath is leather and decent, although because of the weight, I wish it had a tie-loop at the end to make carrying it easier. For the price, I cannot think of a nicer blade.

I do a lot of camping and backpacking. I have brought this machete with me on both. When you are in the backwoods and are able to start fires for your nighttime cooking or just normal warmth and enjoyment, it is important to have the means to obtain usable wood for the fire. There are many ways to do that, and a machete is just one of them. It is my preferred method. I do have compact thumb tree saws and foldable saws that work great as well, but having a large blade is useful in many other ways too. This machete is compact in comparison to others and has a great heavy-duty sheath that snaps at the handle and the side for great slip out protection and security. It fits great in my hands and feels comfortable when I use it. The spine is thick and extremely useful for whacking with another piece of wood for splitting logs down for medium sized kindling. The blade is and came out of the box super sharp. Stick into a good-sized piece of wood so you can make feather sticks, hack at branches on snags, or even use it to cut food for dinner. It is the right size for any job you might have while enjoying nature at your own pace.

Very well made machete

This chopper really surprised me. Heavy, solid construction. Be careful. Razor, and I mean razor sharp out of the box. I haven't used it in the field yet, but just curious tried to shave my arm. It literally shaves. This will be a major part of my hunting/survival gear. I may buy another one.

Pleasantly surprised

Perfect weight, razor sharp, hefty blade will hack whatever you're swinging at. Handle is compact with excellent ergonomics, allows a firm grip and great control. Also very comfortable, with a fine finish; perfectly smooth with plenty of texture. The sheath is of fair quality, well made design and excellent craftsmanship, not the style I prefer but will definitely last.

Excellent knife. Design is sturdy and aesthetically pleasing. Seems to be well balanced.

Aside from the description text vs pics being WRONG with wight and thickness.... I can say the "Silver" version knife I received is 1 lb 2.6 oz or 1.16 lbs or 527 g in weight, 3.96 mm thick at the spine of the knife, and cuts a piece of newspaper very easily meaning it is VERY sharp out of the box! Could not be happier unless it was just a bit heavier (more than 1.16 lbs would be much better) and thicker (5 mm+ would be better). The leather sheath appears to be decent and should hold up ok. I see no weakness in the snaps and the leather is thick. The handle is wood, not plastic and it is not cracked or splintered. Overall I very pleased with what I received and as a new item I have no 'complaints' in what I have, but it has not been used yet either.
