SZCO Supplies 18.25" Full Tang Machete with Nylon Sheath – High-Carbon Stainless Steel Blade for Camping, Survival, and Outdoor Adventures

It is intimidating! Big, beautiful blade and has a really good heft to it. It came razor sharp and cuts like a monster. One inch thick branches were no problem. Bigger limbs took multiple blows but each swing was very productive. Made short work of 3 inch limb. However, the handle is most uncomfortable. Handle is too square. Edges are too sharp and I will definitely be working on it with a file/grinder as soon as I get time. Still, no stars taken away, cause it is a beauty! In terms of using for self-defense, post-apocalypse for instance, nobody is going to mess with you when you unsheath this thing. Definitely not a toy. Respect it at all times. It will sever anything that gets in its way. No joke..

Have a duty, very sharp..I'm a log truck driver, and besides driving the truck I am responsible for trimming my load of Vines and branches that may hit another car.That's where a good machete comes in handy, but I have to say that this one is the best I have ever owned, sharp and very sturdy

Not at all functional for camping, blade rolled on small 1" limb chop and after a few chops the blade cracked and broke.

I was using our kitchen cleaver to chop up branches and junk in the chicken pen, like banana trees. This knife is much better shaped and maybe even holds sharpness better. It can be sharpened with a regular knife sharpener. The price was very nice for the quality of the product. The handle could be a little friendlier. I worked for about 90 minutes and started to get a little feel of a blister building, but I chopped up four banana trees into 2-inch pieces, so that's pretty good. It is actually very nice for cutting down the actual 15 to 20-foot trees.

Good thick steel, kinda a pain to sharpen the first time, but once you've got your edge it'll cut through pretty good sized brush with relative ease

Tal como aparece en la descripciónLo recomiendo 100% 👍🏼

Love the way its made, not to big and not to small.

Very well made. Lots of craftsmanship. Very reasonably priced. The handle is beautiful but I might need to put some grip tape to make it more comfortable.
