Highlights
Quality
Perfect size, perfect weight, good blade to chop a pig into pieces on a table with just arm movement and not back/ hip movements.
It has a really sturdy and great feel in your hand.
Have a total of 12 hours on it and no bends or knicks on the blades and still crazy sharp.
Also, the strap only lasted a week for me before it caught on some briars and got really frayed.
Price
I'm rating this item 5 stars because well it was 21 dollars, and it is definitely worth the money.
Great blade for the price, much bigger than a knife, smaller than a machete, handy and useful.
It's a lot of blade for the money.
Packaging/appearance
Has a very secure cover for the blade, so it's safe to pack inside or outside of the backpack.
I gave this as a christmas gift and it was a huge hit!
I plan to pack it on my hikes for protection or survival.
Competitiveness
It is probably better than the regular machetes i used to use when i lived in trinidad and tobago.
