I use this sword as a Workhorse. Carving walking and four wheeler trails. Will cut saplings Limbs and sticker bushes with minimal effort. And for a larger obstacles two hand operation are is recommended. Striking a solid larger object could leave your hand stinging I believe this is due to the blades thickness other than that there is no other setbacks I see what this high quality very useful tool to me. It does hold a very nice Edge. When I received it it seem to be not quite fully sharpened so I had to finish the process an edge has held up very nicely mineral sharpening needed.

Good overall function and quality. A person has to remember they are buying a machete, not an actual battle ready sword. For the $$ its another winner from cold steel

For a good price, this is a great practice Katana, good for martial arts practice, and light chopping, this sword/ machete is a good value, before you step up to a more expensive sword.
