Traditional Machete for Outdoor Gear and Gardening Supplies – ONCT5

Comfortable grip, thick blade, sharp. Quality traditional machete. Been cool if it came with sheath or scabbard.

The machetes were perfect. good thick blade and a sturdy handle.

Will come in okay shape for it being a discontinued machete. You can tell it’s been sitting around for awhile, the handle was dusty, and blade scratched up a bit but all in all, okay shape.

I don’t usually write reviews because I’m not getting paid for it so who cares. But I need you guys to hear this. Honestly I’ve owned a bunch of machetes through the years. I like the concept but wasn’t ever really wow’d by them. Well this ain’t no Walmart machete made in China BS. This is the REAL deal. Heavy, heavy duty. Long. I wrestled with the price, with which length to get, this or the 18 inch. I’d get this one all over again. Feels so good to hold and sturdy in the hand. Absolutely devastating to whatever branch or lumber you are swinging it at. I jinxed myself telling my wife the edge wasn’t all that sharp. But it’s nasty. Jagged and sturdy edge. I ran my middle finger over it and immediately blood started sprouting out. Don’t let that working edge fool you. Overall, this will be a forgiving and dependable companion for a lifetime. I use the length to hell move logs around on the fire without getting burned....all kinda stuff. It’s my buddy. GET IT! The math on the price adds up if you have prime because of shipping costs.

I've been a land surveyor for 20 years, and the OKC 22" is the go-to machete for many of us. We clear brush all the time, and this machete is one of the most durable I've seen. Under continuous use it will last years, but with enough accidental dings like clipping fences with it etc, the blade will weaken over time and most likely split. You definitely get your money's worth until that day happens though. I've only broken a couple in 20 years... It's far more common to lose them lol. Great product.

I love the heavy weight, sturdy, and sharp aspects it uses to chop through the brush. Side swipes work good on the blackberry vines like a samurai blade yet it is heavy enough to chop through heavier limbs very well. The biggest problem it is perhaps too heavy at times. It takes a good arm to swing this hard for very long one handed. Two hands work good to help fight fatigue but you end up swing it more like a samurai than Indiana Jones would like. A longer handle would help to hold onto it better, especially with two handed use.

I have owned several machetes and have always found them to be handy for a variety of tasks. This is by far the most expensive one I've ever purchased, and certainly the best quality. I knew ahead of time that I would have to sharpen it -- no problem. However, I do have a problem with the handle. It's solid, yes, but I find it to be very non-ergonomic. Every blow results in the machete twisting in my grip, which means I'm not controlling the action at all. This is a dangerous situation, especial given the heft of this blade and the momentum involved. This is a blader that should have a well contoured grip and it doesn't. I would've expected a better grip for the price. Like I said, sharpening the blade - expected. Replacing the grip? Not expected. I've never made a custom grip before, but I'm about to learn how to do it...

I’m extremely disappointed in this product. I had such high hopes for this machete. For the price I was expecting a heavy duty hardened machete but it’s honestly worse than the $20 Gerber machete I got at Walmart. After a few hours of use on saplings and vines the blade was duller than a butter knife with multiple gouges in the steel. I had to sharpen it the after the first use just to get a second use out of it. Hate seeing this from American made companies.

Arrived sharp, great quality and very happy with it.
