great all around machete!
I purchased this and received it ONLY 2 DAYS LATER and i made the purchase late on the 24th i received it early the 26th!!!

Out of the box I was a little disappointed with the grip it felt cheap but after a couple hours of hard use the blade held its edge great and the grip now feels extremely solid. I think it was because i was used to a wooden grip.

This is a great machete I highly recommend it

Arrived much faster than expected (2 days). It's nice and lightweight, perfect length. Good quality steel. Definately needs to be sharpened but I'm sure that comes with the territory. Looks like it will last a lifetime. No complaints with plastic handle. Quite comfortable.

Kudos to this seller (cutleryusa). Highly impressed with your order processing and shipping times!

5.0 out of 5 stars I'd pay way more for cold steel, but I didn't., July 12, 2010

Longer than a knife and shorter than a sword, this is your average size machete. The steel is strong and springy, and despite my abuse it has yet to show any bending like most machetes would get. I'm a martial artist, so I decided to practice my cuts with it on some tree limbs that fell in my backyard and was pretty pleased. If you're looking to chop down a tree, it'll be some tiresome work and you'll just dull your blade (I hacked at some thick stuff to test how deep it would cut)but if you want to take down foliage and branches, you'll feel like a lawn-care samurai. The handle is one of my favorite features, because you can tell by the look and the feel that they cared to fashion a good handle on a great blade. And while I doubt most people would care to throw a machete as a weapon, I've had a great deal of fun sticking this thing in a tree from a short distance, so you can see the tip is nice and sharp and the blade won't snap or permanently bend like the competition. All my machetes are going to be Cold Steel brand from here on out.
