Had for about a year and zero issues. Handle is holding up fine and doesn't slip badly when a little wet.Cuts cleanly through brush and small branches.

Holds an edge and takes an edge well. I've cut down trees and thick brush with this without issue. Low maintenance blade. Sheath does it's job. Hand guard protects you significantly from debris, thorns or any over striking. Good weight. It won't fatigue you, but will cut very well. Is thin enough to do precision work near siding.

Good Machete! I wrapped my own Paracord wrapping on the handle for extra grip. It's perfect in size & weight for my use, light enough to swing a lot, heavy enough to get the job done! I was a little skeptical about the handle when ordering but when it arrived, I had no more concerns, it's good. It comes already pretty darn sharp, but I touched it up on a wet stone, Oh yeah, and it holds a good edge!

So I thought I was getting a halfway decent machete from central America that was used in combat (based on reviews). Not only did I get a machete that is so dull, it wouldn't even chop a dandelion...but it is made in China (as of this review, nowhere does it mention made in China). Shipping label is 'Ohio knife tool" and yet invoice is "whole9yard USA llc."

Cold Steel makes very good blades. This machete is so well made and useful. Nothing fancy at all... plastic handle with guard. Works. Very good to have around the house. I have been using it cut up Amazon delivery boxes to fit in my recycling bin lol.

This is the second Cold Steel product I've purchased for myself. The fourth I've bought over-all. my EDC is their mini-tac tanto. I loved the quality so I gifted one to a friend. I also got their XL Voyager Tanto for a friend who lives on a Caribbean Island. Then I bought this. Living in a major city my home defense options are limited. Over a decade ago I was a student of Grand Master Federico Lazo, so I know a thing or two about Kali/Arnis, so figured I'd make use of it. This baby is a beauty. Quality construction. Straight blade. Full tang that even goes around the whole guard(nice protection against blunt objects an if you're cutting brush. The odds of needing it to fend of a sword are minimal these days. lol). Full black color to keep it from being easily spotted in dim light. Absolutely perfect.My only complaint is that the hand grip is not textured. It feels slippery. I purchased some bat tape to correct this, inexpensive and excellent solution. I do wish that Cold Steel had put the same textured plastic that I have on my mini-tac tanto. But I suppose some people do find that to be too rough, so bat tape is an adequate solution.All in all, I love it, and it's an absolute bargain given it's price range. I could've spent twice as much and not gotten a tool with even half the quality. IMO go for the reputable brand, buy a tool from a nobody and you're going to end up regretting it.Edit: I put some Rawlings bat tape made a world of difference on the handle's grip. I highly recommend adding bat tape.

Good machete, very sharp. Also sharpens up nicely on a bench grinder with fine stones.Using it in pine and oak forest here.The 18 inch length is ideal as it will help you avoid accidental hits if you over swing. Also the D guard is EXCELLENT in case you are fatigued, but the best advice for that is stop cutting when you get tired as this blade will open you up easily.And it's PERFECT against snakes.
