Machete, 16.7" Machete for Cutting Trees Heavy Duty, 3Cr13 Stainless Steel Full Tang with Nylon Sheath, Great for Clearing Brush, Survival, Camping and Outdoor

The steel was too brittle on mine. I bought it to chop down some live, soft bamboo thickets, and within minutes the blade had chipped. Just about anything slices through that bamboo, so I cannot understand why it would chip a machete.BUT, the seller contacted me after my review and gave me a refund. That takes the risk out of buying from them.

Doing some gardening in my back yard and needing something compact and sharp.the length is perfect. Other machetes are just too long for what i needed it.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:sheath is cheap but overall the blade is nice. came sharp and i mean sharp. but on the tip either its meant to be dull with a blade look or it was skipped during sharpening process. its a good size for hiking, camping, hunting, or in my case landscaping, does sit nice on the hip while walking or sitting on the mower. one other thing i didnt like about this product was the handle feels off in my hands. the curve in the handle should have been moved up a bit for a better grip in my opinion.

Very sharp. Well made. Good value.

Very sharp, cut at an angle for clean smooth cuts not recommended for chopping. Slices easily through my 4” thick palm fronds with one swing. Perfect amount of weight.

You get what you pay for. The handle on the one shipped to me was half raw wood no oil at all. You can look at this blade and tell it’s cheap and will rust easily. Returning this. The sheath is a cheap as it can be and you will not be able to resecure it once you open the snap.

Looks like it solid construction and dos the job cutting back trails that are blocked by brush.

Used this for a three day weekend more than I want to admit but it held up great and kept an edge.... I would purchase again
