First I’m gonna say I’m not like the others who bought this machete, I don’t hack weeds, small trees or bushes. I bought this machete for the same reason I bought all of my machete’s for self defense and I love the look and feel of cold steel machete’s. With that said let me say that this is one nice machete. The weight, the feel, the presence of it is just perfect, and to add to that it came razor sharp and oiled up. If you’re thinking about getting this or any of the cold steel machete’s I highly recommend it. I have five so far and I’m ordering another five of the ones I don’t have yet.

Impressive size, nice edge, easy to hold, the sheath is actually well made for the material, has a back strap, the reviews on Youtube were accurate about this one. Cuts through brush and other materials with ease due to the size. For the price just to have one or if you really need it, or just collect, you will not be disappointed.

I chopped an 8 inch mulberry tree down quickly chopped it to bits, there was no effect to the blade or edge, looks brand new. This came sharp and stayed sharp. The sheath is great but the strap is crappy, I modified it to wear on my belt. I use this one handed, but, I am a large man. Very fun tool, looks great.

Cheesy plastic handle and a dull blade but it’s one hefty tool and I can get both hands on it without wearing gloves. My hands are pretty big. It took an edge well and slices through one inch willow with authority. I can cut enough willow to build a hasty shelter fast. I’ll mostly use this machete to clear paths through devils club and alder, the later being quite difficult to cut through. A quality folding saw is still a necessity in the alders. I hope the plastic handle fools me and holds up.

After a little elbow grease, to get an edge, this became an awesome machete. It came with a heavy burr to one side. I had a Gerber Gator machete and it didn't last two outings before the edge folded over in several spots. This one is a lot more substantial and has a far better grip. Gerber failed when I hit some hard cedar. This one hacks right through it. Don't waste your money on a Gerber...get a Cold Steel.

This is the best machete on the market for the price. Cold Steel has produced a quality product with this one. I did some research and this was one of the top machetes tried out by CBP personnel for destruction purposes.This bad boy came in the mail and I was impressed. All the other officers I work with like it too. It almost has a sword feel to it. Works best with both hands but well with single hand wielding as well. Sheath isn't bad, its nylon as expected and serves the purpose. This may not last for forever, but its affordable enough you can get another when and IF this one goes to crap. SO far, impressed with the product. I never leave 5 star reviews but this is one that warrants it.
