True suvival machete
Review by Alishia N.

This survival tool is very similar to my Dad's World War II folding Air Crew 'bail-out" survival machete(in picture) .
Although the SP8 is NOT a folder they share comparable quality,length tweight. Neither is a true 'swing wildly' jungle palm branches type machete.
SP-8 is more of a do-all tool knife/hatchet/dig/pry device.
The sawback IS NOT a 'notching blade' or a wood saw.
Its design with wide kerf is for batoning which keeps baton stick from bouncing back or forth during blade batoning technique. Secondarily it serves to hack out of aluminum skin such as aircraft or thin boat skin. You use a hack/slice motion.
I use mine to prune suckers off my apple trees (and daughter LOL!) and splitting kindling off logs
I also take when on canoe trips or remote van camping or ATVing (to heavy for backpacking).
Much more useful the axe/hatchet.
If you want a true military grade tool
For most shtf situations. This is it!
I find the sheath to be of great quality and mount options too

Nice and heavy weight, not sure why some people are upset with the thick saw back and say it doesn't really work, it works great! Great as a meat tenderizer! You could break arm bones by smashing them with it too, or flip it around and hack into the bones. Over all, I think I'd survive with it lol

Nothing to dislike about this beast. Bought it for chopping small to medium sized branches for kindling when camping at my vacation property. If you are expecting something thin and spindly, look elsewhere. Looks like a good 1/4" thick at the spine, tapering gradually to the edge. This means lots of chunky goodness behind the blade edge and while that extra weight can be felt when in hand, it means this is ideal for batoning and splitting larger pieces of wood. Seems well balanced and well made. IMO this is a stellar value for your dollar.

I wish I could give this thing 6 stars. I have beat this thing up pretty hard and it is still standing strong. It has handled everything I've used it for out at every campsite, hike, yard work,etc. Totally worth the very low price

I was suprised when I opened this up - its quite heavy.
there is significant feedback in the handle if you chop in the middle of the blade - it chops best when you use the blade close to the tip.
handle fits my hands very well (Large sized glove) - came sharp enough to remove arm hair.
its a very thick bevel, thicker than an axe. I'm going to reprofile it to a convex edge so it chops better.
sheath is your standard form OKC - nylon/cordura. not fantastic...but not terrible either.

I was looking for a field tool for all around work. Something that if I did not have a saw and an axe could work.
A longer curved blade has never stood up to chopping. This did!!
Ergonomics, I think I would like it longer. It holds an edge but I also think it dulls quicker than I would like.
Overall, I am satisfied with this product.

Just got my machete.
It's fantastic with really good weight to it.
Only reason I didn't give a 5 star is that it could be sharpened a bit more. Other than that, I think it'll be a great buy.

Chop Chop
Review by Warren N.

I feel like I could cut down the whole world with this thing.
But really, it's a great blade. Heavy head but easy to swing, tears through vines and small brush with ease. Need to chop some branches or small trees? I plowed through 1 1/2" - 2" trees with 4-5 good swings a piece. Tore my thumb up (blisters) under the gloves, but I needed to develop some working man hands anyway.
