ODENWOLF W Machete - Survival Machete Full Tang with Sheath - Strong D2 Steel Knife Machete for Cutting Trees, for Yard Work, and for Bushcrafting and Big Tactical Knife with TPE-Handle

The design of the knife is excellent. It has thick blade stock and should hold up well for tough use. The extra long handle and weight help with easy of chopping. The edge right out of the box was quite sharp, paper cutting sharp but not hair shaving sharp. I stropped it on a green compounded leather belt and it is now hair shaving sharp. I will most likely not chop branches with it because I also carry a folding saw. Batoning should be just fine. This knife is great for camping and preparing food, cutting meat and chopping a whole chicken in half. It is also great for bush craft. An 2 inches section of the blade close to the handle is sharpened at a steeper angle for super sharp cutting purpose such as feathering a stick or anything require precision cutting. Most other machetes are made of thin flimsy sheet metal but this one is made of D2 steel and the blade is thick and strong. The sheath is a very good fit and of proper retention for holding the knife but also allows for easy withdrawal. I like plastic sheath over leather sheath for outdoor knife so I don't need to worry about whatever nature throws at you, rain, water, dirt and abuse. I highly recommend this knife.

This blade is a UNIT. It’s huge, well built, durable and stylish. It’s got quite the heft to it which will help in its ability to chop thru brush, branches or zombies. Odenwolf has a large selection of knives to fit any of your needs. What a great product. Buy with confidence.

Beautiful craftsmanship, comfortable handle, really sharp and nicely packaged. Not just for bushwhacking but also great for cutting watermelon and other difficult to cut items (e.g., cantaloupe, rutabaga/ turnips). Great buy.

Note QUITE long enough to machete. But it will chop small stuff decentlyThis thing is a BEAST. Its absurdly thick.The weird hand and a half handle didn't leave me anywhere to comfortably put my hand, but the handle is easily carved to fix that. The plastic could be a BIT more rubbery. Its good where its checkered but kinda slick where it's flat.I'm not crazy about the differential edge but that still probably even out with enough sharpening.

This knife is very well built. Thick and on the heavy duty side. Great for camping or a hiking pack. D2 is a little tuff to sharpen but a quality stone will make the difference. I'd highly recommend and will be buying couple more for our rescue teams.

Chews through oak, pine, etc. Extremely sharp so be careful but holy crap this thing is amazing.

I love it. I use it in my garden. It cuts wonderfully for vegetables with the thick stalks.

Good quality
