I've used it a couple of times. No issues, it's worked as expected. Content with the purchase.

it is what it is

There is not much to dislike every one knows these are military grade items BUT it seems to me that the coating seems not to be as good as the last Ontario machete I bought several years ago . I have owed several over the last 40 years

Handle was not in line with tang.

So after a few swings it was clear this will cut my palm I'm this condition. Ontario Knife Company has plummeted in quality. This first machete I purchased was good, very good. This one is new and it's just not the same quality. Probably my last Ontario Knife purchase because the last few items have been pretty terrible in the finished quality

Too heavy and dull

Very well made. Has very nice weight. Only wish they made a bolo style. Other than that, I highly recommend this machete.

What a Machete

Review by Adron M. 6/1/22

Excellent quality for a low price. Made right here in the USA. Comes sharp right of the box made out of 1095 Carbon Steel. It is heavier that other machetes but that’s ok.

Great tool

I have put well over 100hrs of work on mine and it’s still singing. I use it to chop at roots and take limbs off trees. Be extra careful with this bad boy if you haven’t swung a ton of machete in your past life.

Tank of a Machete!

This is a (thicck) high carbon steel machete that holds edge. Can be easily modified.

Not recommend.

Review by Dallis B. 4/2/22

Not the best construction. Blade is not sharp. Disappointed.

Great machete

Review by Syrina A. 3/26/22

Great machete. Nice and solid. Won’t bend like cheap machetes from hardware store. The only thing that surprised me was how dull it was when it arrived. The bur on the edge was really bad to one side. Quick fix if you know how to use a stone, but I hoped the factory would’ve put a decent edge on it.
