Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Great for light-moderate cutting in closer spaces - grasses, blackberries, up to finger-thick * plants with no trouble. This blade is lightweight and has a balance i have dreamed of.

The bang for buck on this machete is outstanding. Love the company.



Cons

Poorly made. Needs to be sharpened. Once sharpened it starts to rust after washing. Loose handle manufacturing defect.
