USMC Marine Kukri with Sheath | 11 1/2" Stainless Steel Blade | Rubberized Handle with "Marine Force Recon" Medallion | Oversized Metal Guard | Includes Nylon Belt Sheath | 16 1/2" Overall Length

I was bummed that I'd have to wait 2 weeks to see this beauty. Low and behold I come home from work to find a priority mail 3 day marked box. I was estatic. I really appreciate the haste. The blade turned out to be well worth the price paid. Good comfortable grip, a fine edge, and a surprisingly as advertised size. The sheath looks pretty standard, but for $26 I really dont care. Quality product.

This is a high quality knife. I thought that it would be the typical machete type of pewter blade which does not hold a edge. This has a steel blade and is very impressive to look at and hold. Mine is very sharp right out of the box. Two of these would look fantastic hanging as crossed swords in the finest of living rooms. The published description of this item on Amazon does not do it justice.

I have had it for about a month and the first thing I did once I had received it in the mail was check the sharpness and I found myself pleased with it nice and sharp. After that, I put it on my belt and practiced pulling it out, (which I found unconfortable when doing so with it on my left hip) but when i had it on my right hip it came out with ease, so if you're right handed this might not suite you, unless you can get used to it. So I went out snowshoeing with it in my pack and once I pulled it out, making a trail was easy, it was a succesful trip in the outdoors. Its shorter than some machetes, but fits in a day pack or something perfectly. The only complaint about it that I have is that the snap that holds it into the shealth tore off after a week of use, that downed my day, but other than that, great machete I'm still well pleased with it and have no regrets of perchasing it.

I'll start with it is awesome looking. However it is not sharp out of the box. The serrations are. After running it through about two times through my lansky sharpener to put a usable edge on it - it is an amazing tool. Primarily for hacking and sawing. Very sturdy construction. I have zero complaints.

My only "what on Earth?" moment was when pulling it from the supplied sheath the first few times. The large teeth on the spine of the knife face "the wrong way" (by my reckoning) and each one gets caught on the hem of the sheath on the way out, unless or until you learn to draw it properly. Once you do know how to draw it properly, this might be one of the only general-purpose camping utility knives you'll ever need to own. Cosmetically, it's a bit blah, and even looks a bit cheap, but that blade is sharp as a laser, and very well balanced indeed, and that cheap-looking handle is surprisingly comfortable. I haven't yet cut down a tree with it, but frankly I'd like my odds if I had to.

Just received this today. Guess I should have read ALL of the comments, as I was quite annoyed to see that the sheath is left-handed. The knife does not rattle (yet?) out of the box. The blade isn't dull, but it could have been sharper. The serrations at the top-front and bottom-rear are sharp! I'm not keen on drawing this thing with my left hand, then transferring to my right hand. I have not taken it out to swing at anything yet. When I do, I'll post an update.

I was able to take this out of a fishing/camping trip. Low and behold brush needed cut and held up to any punishment i could give to it. As long as you don't mind small up keep (cleaning after use and sharpen) then this is a good buy

I like this machete. It's not as hardened as I would have liked. Can be sharpened easily. The sheaf is made of nylon and it tears easily. The samp on also fall off easily from the sheaf. Feels goon on the hand and cuts limbs well.

I used this while battoning wood and it worked like a charm. Then I process said wood into various smaller sized bits in order to build a fire with. It stayed sharp the whole entire time. Knife doesn't come all that sharp, however, and I sharpened it myself prior to going camping with it. Despite the rather gaudy design and etching, this is a good knife/machete.

Gefällt mir sehr gut, schneide ist allerdings nicht scharf. Die Säge ist ganz gut geschärft. Liegt gut in der Hand und macht auch sonst einen sehr guten Eindruck.

Produkt super verpackt und die klinge ein wahrer augen schmauss, super belastbar und sitzt super in der hand. aber ein punkt abzug bei den scheiden rand wo das parier die scheide berührt habe ich bei der messer scheide eine schwachstelle gefunden und zwar beim heruasziehen bleibt der klingen rücken mit den zähnen hängen, allerdings stört mich das nicht sooo dramatisch weil ja eine scheide mit geliefert wird und anderer seits weil sie "nur" aus nylon ist, ich habe den stören fried weggeschnitten und abgeflämt und jetzt ist alles wie es sein sollte. ein punkt abziehen muss ich leider trotzdem

Hola, por desgracia la funda del machete no me sirve, soy derecho y la funda es para un zurdo. De ahí en fuera el machete es muy lindo, duradero y con diseño chulo.
