Colombian Military Surplus Assorted Machetes, 5 Pack, New

A great deal - it's difficult to find any REAL surplus these days, everything is poor quality chinese knock-offs. I got a nice selection of styles, with two wood handles, and the rest plastic, but the plastic seems to be of good quality. They're not super sharp, I will touch up the blades, but machetes usually aren't super sharp, since you are hacking with them a thin edge wouldn't hold up anyway. I live in the desert, and I'm always trimming cactus and other prickly plants. These are perfect for that, snips just don't make it. I may buy another set to give as gifts.

Nice for the money! I took one star because I only received four blades. They did refund what the cost of one would have been but I would rather have the the fifth blade. They all need sharpening.

Fantastic group of machetes! Well made and perfect

Very nice for the price. I just wanted them to cut small trees down. I ordered a 2nd set for my son. If I had to say a con the handles need some work. I put a wrap on my handles for grip. Over all great look and price

Of the five machetes, four looked like possible Columbian military surplus, the fifth was made by Truper. The four surplus ones are actually fairly nice with good wooden handles. My only complaint is that these have zero edge, it's more of a bevel. It will take you days to sharpen these with a stone or some such. I'm going to have to pay someone to grind these down before I can actually use them. If you don't have access to a grinder, you might want to look at something else. Judging by how difficult they are to sharpen, it seems to be decent steel. And I think they will be just fine once they are sharpened. It's still a good buy. Just know you're gonna have to work for these

Holy poop these are great, especially for the price. I love that they're a random assortment. Dont be upset that they're not very sharp. They're not supposed to be. It's a machete not a straight razor. The only downside is that I finished all my yard work before I saw them. Found some stuff to hack at anyways and they cut great. I love the giant icing spreader looking one.

Got these so my friends could help clear thickets and bushes around property. Exact what I needed. Enough for everyone and no excuses not to help.

Wow! They’re very well made. All 5 came sharpened. Some reviews say they weren’t. I’ll probably give a couple of them to a friend. Can’t beat the price.
