Snake Eye TacticalFull-Tang Fixed Blade Machete w/Sheath Outdoors Hunting Camping Fishing (10-18BK)

I've used it for a couple weeks now, several times a week, for maybe half an hour, and I've never been let down.Some people say it's too heavy, but it's only a little heavier than my last machete and I've never been fatigued by it. I cleared maybe half a mile so far through thick brush. It was flawless with anything from tall grass to saplings maybe two inches wide.One of the best things about this machete is the quality of the blade. There's stainless steel, high carbon steel, and then high carbon stainless steel, each with different qualities. I don't have time to explain the differences but this blade seems to be high carbon stainless steel due to how it keeps it's edge, it's weight, and how it never rusts.Due to my terrain, the blade has bounced off a couple hidden rocks when clearing low brush (causing me to wince each time). This has resulted in some dents, but nothing major, and definitely not taking anything away from the blade's effectiveness.I did use the saw-edge a couple times and was very pleased with it. It's actually a very well forged, well serrated saw that goes through solid oak pretty quickly. Every time I use it sawdust goes EVERYWHERE, but that just shows how effective it is.The only drawback is the handle. I got a few blisters due to how the plastic is moulded - blisters which I never got with my old machete, knives, shovel, or axe, despite hours of use with each. I got similar blisters with a hatchet I used for a while, so I guess it's just normal with a new tool. Still a 5 star tool.

I like the length and weight compared to other machetes I have. The plastic handles and cheap sheaths are the main issues that I see. This is one you can carry and use if needed. This is the one I will use to clear out stubborn brush in the yard.

Grow cauliflower and broccoli (cabbage if you like it) in your garden. The plants get huge, 3 feet tall, 3 feet wide. Harvest the cauliflower and broccoli and use your machete to chop up the plants. Chop them up really good. Till the chopped up plants into the soil for soil prep for your spring planting. Excellent way to condition soil organically.

This is a very good blade for the money. I sanded off and blacked out country of origin as I didn't want to see it. The snake was fine for me. The sheath was OK, except the snap closer is too short, although it does work if you move the handle to thinnest part.I always smooth the rough cut blade bevel. This machete was sharp, except the last half inch of the cut, but that part is not used so it does not matter much.Box was damaged in shipment and of coarse it was on the pointy end. The blade was OK, thank goodness.This is worth the money.

Man is this the sharpest the best,

It’s super dull. It’s not sharp at all. It’s also made in China. Big surprise. Amazon really needs to list the origin country of all products clearly at the top of the specs. This is like a movie replica prop it’s so dull.

awesome craft. Sturdy
