Ka-Bar Cutlass Machete

Ka-Bar Cutlass Machete

The Ka-bar Cutlass Machete is a high performance machete made by Ka-Bar. Ka-Bar produced the Cutlass to fill the void of a large blade that is bigger than a fixed blade knife but smaller than a traditional full-sized machete. With the included Cordura/Leather sheath, you can carry the Cutlass into the field where it will serve you well for all of your cutting and chopping needs.

<p>Beautiful & Badass Blade; Sad Sheath!</p>
Review by Kenneth X.
<p>How could Ka-Bar associate this terribly cheap Sheath with such an awesome blade?!!? Pro's: I really like the blade! Great design, balance & quality.. (so far) .. Sharp- like get to work on something or combat ready Sharp! Such a nice looking machete, blade, knife!!! The handle Rules, seriously.. in feel, comfort, grip, size & look!.. Even the Sheath looks good, but!<br /><br />Con's: seriously cheap, terrible quality Sheath for a blade that is really Sharp. I'm torn: because this is a really nice blade & such a ridiculous & cheap *ss Sheath, scabbard!.. Ugh!</p>

<p>Weight is just right for medium chopper</p>
Review by Abram H.
<p>My measured weight is slightly over 18oz. My heavy choppers are condors at 22 - 24oz and 19". I needed this smaller, lighter chopper which also has a sharp tip. It's a versatile knife not too heavy and not too long. Unless you need a dedicated chopper, this is perfect. It came very sharp out of the box. For the price, the sheath is excellent.</p>

Review by Peyton H.
<p>Even if you already own a machete, you don't own one like this Ka-Bar.  It has its place in any tool lineup, and you will immediately realize that the first time you pick it up.</p>

<p>GREAT CAMPING MACHETE!</p>
Review by Jaylynn L.
<p>This KA BAR Machete cutless is great for camping. Sharp and a massive chopper, I wish it was Made in the USA (Taiwan) but a truly great machete. Very strong, durable and perfect grip handle. GREAT KNIFE!!!</p>

<p>Very Good</p>
Review by Romell F.
<p>This machete is very good. From what I could tell with a strong magnet it is full tang. The blade feels sturdy and it's weighted toward the from which helps with swinging it. Only complaints are the blisters that probably only came from not wearing gloves in the garden and the fact that I had to retouch the finish after heavy use.</p>

<p>Pretty sturdy knife that chops well</p>
Review by Nannette R.
<p>Pretty solid knife. Done a lot of chopping with it and batoning and it has done well. Not sure what some of the reviewers did to theirs that made them break unless they had defects because mine has taken normal abuse just fine. If I were looking for a good chopper, though, I’d go with the Kabar kukri. That thing is a BEAST of a chopper.</p>

<p>Very good machete for the price, but the blade can fail.</p>
Review by Allissa X.
<p>I was very happy with this machete, the balance an wheight distribution of the blade is great for chopping, it has a really good bite and the handle is very comfortable. Unfortunately, after a couple of weeks of usage clearing tree branches, it looks like the metal failed and got a big chip in the blade. Probably there was a defect in the metal of my product. Very dissapointed.</p>

<p>BEAST- omniblade</p>
Review by Diane P.
<p>I have abused this blade like crazy, but it doesn't budge.<br />The edge on this thing is relentless. Corrosion resistance is very high. Ergonomics is a 12/10.<br /><br />I'm 5'10" and 165, mildly athletic- I can swing this thing all day with good force. Hooks right into your palm and puts all that force into the curve of the blade. One of the best purchases I have ever made as an outdoor handyman and a camper. Trim trunks, dissect branches, split firewood (batoning)<br /><br />Never cleaned or sharpened in 6 years, edge barely even shows it.</p>

<p>Good balance, stout feel, great grip</p>
Review by Anastacia Z.
<p>I ordered it and the next thing I know UPS is delivering it, so it came super quick. It has good weight, a good grip that should fit most hands, and is very sharp. Also has a loop on the end of the sheath for a leg tie and lanyard hole in the handle. I think this machete is going to perform as well as one that I paid more for.<br />UPDATE: I used the cutlass to trim small limbs and baton 6 inch X foot long green oak logs yesterday and the blade cut through everything smoothly. I think if used properly it will last a long time. It retained a sharp edge, only honed it before putting it up. The paint didn't wear off, I just wiped it down and it looks like new.</p>

<p>Great machete... Until the blade began to break into pieces.</p>
Review by Janiel J.
<p>Bought this machete after numerous reviews of machetes and was convinced that this was it. However, after 3 uses within a span of about 1.5 month, I was shocked to realise that the blade had large breakaways along the edge. My guess is that this was a manufacturing defect, and I'm not sure how to go about getting a refund/replacement considering that the return window is over...</p>

<p>TOUGH AS NAILS !!!!</p>
Review by Blas E.
<p>I have beat the living hell outta this blade, and its tough as nails ! I don't understand some of these reviews, the only way youre gonna damage this beast is by totally abusing it. ( chopping on rocks, concrete or brick perhaps ) This is a military grade knife with a great sheath ! End of story ! I would easily go into battle with this Machete with all confidence....highly recommended....5 STARS !!!!!</p>
