When I got it, I took it out for a quick look because I didn’t have time to try it, and was shocked at how sharp it was. If fact, when I put it back in the sheath it cut right through all the stitches.
When I had a little time I went out to the wood pile to do a little chopping. I really didn’t think the nearly razor sharp edge would last, but after chopping through it few 1” branches, and whacking a bunch of chunks out of a chunk of maple I was pleasantly surprised to find the edge had held up, no nicks, or curled edges, and still as sharp as when I started. I’m not a knife thrower, but was able to throw it 8 -10’ into a long without much trouble.
Because of the size and flat shape, it will eventually find its way into my bug out bag.
It got 4 stars based on it could have had a better sheath, because it deserves one, and the para cord wrapped grip loosened up pretty quick when I started really chopping. That said it’s well worth the money to have in your bug out bag.

Edge is excellent. Actually cut through the seam of the sheath while opening. Looking forward to using it on my next hunting / camping trip.

Good quality blade, seems to fit exactly what I wanted, something small enough to fit in with a bugout bag, rather than a big bulky full size machete. Excellent edge on the blade, handle is wrapped in paracord, which is also useful in a shelter situation. Please see the Facebook post for more details! Recommended? Yes.

this is perfect size to take with you. it will hang easily from your belt or in backpack. nice and sharp from the beginning. used to cut some rope. the sheath keeps it well protected. .. I defiantly recommend this to and day hiker or even and overnighter..

Very verseitle and compact easy storeage and sharp
