Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

After sanding the black paint away, the machete performs better than my condors. It's made great, but there's one problem. Otherwise though, it's very sturdy.

This cold steel's a keeper though. Pleased with my purchase and this shopping exp.

You know your wrist will roll when you get to choppin. The roughness of the grip shouldn't hurt anybody with sense. Wear gloves or wrap the handle to avoid hotspots during extended use.

Nice sheath. Doesn't feel cumbersome to wear throughout the day. Wish it were set up also for molle attachment.

Cons

In 2018 this apparently comes unsharpened, whereas in the past evidently they were sold sharpened. Came very dull out of the box. They seem to spend their money on hype instead of steel.

Highlights

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Quality

Steel seems to be a good mix of soft for durable and hard for edge retention.

Length is perfect, sheath it’s vastly improved.

So i ran it through my sharp makers for about 15 minutes and it wore off the coating but the blade is still not real sharp.

The steel on these is top flight, and i once watched a "test to failure" torture test on these and it took unreal abuse before failure.

Price

This thing has been a dream for the price.

Until then, this is a great value on what feels so far like a very nice, versatile machete.

It's a $30 blade folks, don't expect $400 dollar steel.

Not a huge deal, they came off with a ceramic sharpener and a few minutes.

Shipping

The product arrived in a timely manner and the fit/finish were good.

Competitiveness

But it is far nicer than the cheapo machete you buy at the local farm store.
