Good tool, not so good weapon.
In some reviews I read about this machete the handle was a problem, it's not a problem it's just plain nasty. The handle is molded plastic and configured to imitate traditional Japanese wrap. The problem is that the area that is supposed to look like the top layer of the wrap is at least a quarter of an inch higher than the rest of the handle with square edges. After some thought I corrected the problem by using a craft saw to remove the excess material then smoothing the handle with a rasp and sand paper. The modification turned this into a very useful tool. It is NOT a sword it is a machete. It resembles the shape of a katana shape, but if you want a katana, this is not your best choice, if you need a machete then this is a good choice.

Happy birthday to me
Bought as a birthday gift to myself. Always wanted a sword. Received with on a small nick on the top side of the blade. Was not very sharp out of the box but that was fixed quickly with a 2 grit sharpener. It took an extremely sharp edge well. The grip is unique and will suite the sword well especially if wrapped. Overall happy with the purchase.

It’s a machete.
This is not a toy. Novelty, maybe. Testament that there’s a distinct possibility people should not consume alcoholic beverages and look around on Amazon, yes! But, there’s a little bit of an out for the next morning when you’re trying to have your coffee in peace and your spouse is like, “did you buy a sword. On Amazon?” “Mmmmmm, I bought a machete.” Good idea Coldsteel. See, sadly in modern society there’s not much of a need for swords. And think about how much of a ripoff that is from your childhood. Ninjas had swords. Knights had swords. Never heard any ninjas or nights complaining about taxes or the price of a gallon of gas (but I digress). By calling this a machete, Coldsteel has given a reasonable and articulable argument for every man to be able to own one. Overgrown bushes in the yard? Trim that with a machete. Gonna go down to the river to do a little fishing? Don’t forget the machete to cut the brush out the way at the shore. Yes, Coldsteel may very well have cleverly given an opening to a new era of people carrying around swords and we’d all be a little better for it. Quick delivery. Would buy from this seller again.

Not pudding day, but almost.
I recieved this item by mistake, instead of a ceramic pocket knife and some jerky. I am still waiting on my items, but as a bladesmith, I can say this: it would kill someone if ya stabbed 'em with it, which is all you can as from something so cheaply made.

Sharp as ex-girlfriend's tongue, but forever to get here...
Great product. Machete was in the factory packaging and extremely sharp. Shipping was very slow, slower in fact than any product I have ever gotten. I almost canceled the sale and bought from the manufacturer Cold Steel. Don't blame that on Cold Steel but the insane shipping system. Cold Steel products are some of the most dependable, sharpest, most proven overall on the market!
