Surplus Colombian Military Assorted Machete Knives, 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.

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.

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

First, you get a bunch for not a lot of money. That's something. But several were not sharpened. Like really not at all. More edge on some butter knives. When I did sharpen a couple, they held an edge about like a cut pop can. Hmmm. My kids enjoy whacking on brush that needs cleared with these, so they have their place, but it's not a "great deal" iMHO. Will keep them around for kids to whack with, but I'm still looking for a tool to do a man's job.... none of these fit that bill...
