This Machete is AMAZING!! This blade is sharper than my new Ka-Bar Utility Knife! The sheath is great but you do need to be careful when insert or drawing out since the blade is so sharp it will cut anything in its way. The handle has a very nice feel to it and has amazing grip, even with sweat drenched hands. This blade is cumbersome but great things come in big packages, deal with it. This machete could most likely take a head clean off with one swift stroke. I believe this knife is too beautiful to cut down trees. I will be using it as a self-defense weapon and use it to cut down people. Best $45 purchase I've ever made. BUY KA-BAR OVER ANY OTHER KUKRI BLADE!!

This is the best damn tree and brush trimming tool I've ever seen..!! It fits my hand as if I'd designed it for myself. Balance is blade heavy and perfect for heavy duty work. Works better than a hatchet. It keeps an edge better than any other machete-type blade I've owned.. Plus, this Ka-Bar blade could easily double as a combat weapon without modifications. Frankly I've been a Cold Steel guy for decades, Buck blades back when they had good steel decades ago. While I still like Cold Steel blades, I'll certainly take a look at Ka-Bar products after this. Forget the cheap machetes and get something that WORKS..!!!!! This Ka-Bar Machete Kukri Model 1249 really works..!!

It is the best machete I have ever used. I love the balance. I have been able to use it for clearing brush and bataning wood. Worth the Money!!!!

This thing preforms as advertised, it has a good edge which it holds quite well, and it will go through branches up to about 3/4" like they aren't even there. I got it through a 3" limb with some work. I also got it to split that same branch using a baton.
My main criticism is the sheath, it looks, and feels cheap, it slides around on my belt a lot, and the snaps make a lot of noise when they aren't fastened. However, when it comes to keeping the knife inside until you want it out, it does it's job well. I will also say that the blade has a textured coating on it to make it non-reflective; I don't like this, you can't use it to make a spark and it creates drag on the blade, particularly when splitting wood. I would prefer a smooth finish even if it makes it shiny, thats what mud is for, after all.

This knife is alot lighter than I expected, but it is built well and functional.
