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.

Would you get for the price I was impressed. I wish they had sheets with them but not that big a deal. My goal was really just for a 12-inch one which I got and very happy with the other ones are all just a bonus. The blades were kind of wavy if you're fanatical about that but other than that they cut well and are solid machetes.

all of them will have terrible blades when they arrive, however for the price they aren't terrible. the grips on the wooden ones are pretty bad and will hurt when swung, but overall they could be worse for the price.

Can’t speak to what others are receiving but I got a good assortment for $35. Distal taper on these blades. Always a plus. My understanding is they come butter-knife dull from the factory and it’s expected to sharpen them with a file. As long as this is the expectation, and you know these are rough basic tools, but good for what they are quality and cost wise, the product is satisfactory.

I was really impressed with the quality once it arrived. These are pretty badass!

Some nice machetes of different sizes and shapes. They appear the be as advertised, Columbian military surplus. I kept 2 I liked the best and gave the rest to friends who camp here in Southern California. They were much appreciative. The metal is a mixed bag but all up to par. They do need sharpening, which I made a day of.

Great quality, balanced and weight works well for me ,hiking , hunting,and camping must have.
