Beyond the obvious cool factor this knife is extremely useful. It chops like a light hatchet, whacks like a machete and can even do light carving and cutting chores. The handle is A+ for comfort and grip. The double front and rear lanyard holes give you options for attachments. Some reviews ding the plastic sheath but I find it more than adequate and very light weight to boot. I paracord wrapped a mora knife and sheath to the outside of this giving me a total cutting tool setup on my belt. After a big wind storm I processed a 15' long 6" thick tree branch that came down in my back yard. Just used a corona folding saw to cut into short lengths and batoned all the wood using the kershaw camp 10. Knife was still paper cutting sharp afterwards. Great value...and did I mention cool!

Works great for processing wood.Safer than a hatchet. Just right for splitting fat lighter. The handle gets a bit harsh after extended use as it's deeply serrated. An easy fix using the wrap that is used on tennis rackets. Connect yourself to this knife using a lanyard. There are two holes on the handle to facilitate your choice of tie. I plan on purchasing one for my son.

Weather camping, working, or surviving this is the perfect machete. It arch's forward just a hare for power through cutting. The handle fits your hand like a glove and does not slip even while sweating. The back of the blade is around a 1/4 inch thick and comes factory SHARP. Not too heavy to tire you out but good weight for cutting power. Price verses quality is great.

very good so far, havent had any trouble with the steel (65mn) which i have little experience with. the mystery steel is a concern for the long run, they should have gone with 1075, or 5160, but for the price and overall quality, fit and finish this is quite a deal. who knows maybe this steel will be amazing. great chopper, and can carve quite well also.

These are well made quality large knives and considering the price point you can not go wrong. This single item can replace the need to carry a large sheath knife as well as a small hatchet; if carry too much weight in the field is a concern. I recommend you back this knife up with a small quality made folding lock blade knife, the small knife will compliment the larger knife and the two knives will serve to meet all of your needs, including clearing brush, making a shelter, defending yourself, cutting a sandwich and cleaning small game and fish. I utilize several of these knives of various lengths depending on the task at hand. A MUST for every survivalist.
