The machete is very nice looking, felt good in the hand and had a very nice sheath to keep it in. But the first day I used it, it snapped in half after about 5 minutes. I suppose for the price point you can't complain, but I am disappointed that I did'nt get more use out of it. I will look into warranty now and perhaps this one just had a flaw. I will update if anything noteworthy happens.UPDATE- I'm changing my rating to 4 stars for now. Amazon couldn't do anything for me because it had been more than 30 days from purchase. But they did direct me to contact SOG which I did. Within minutes of sending them an email they responded and said they would send me a replacement. WOW! Great customer service. If the new machete performs I will change my rating to 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars SOGfari machete.. one of my favorite items i own
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2011
Verified Purchase
The SOG 18" machete exceded all of my expectations. Its factory edge was very sharp, but not razor. (When i say very sharp, i mean REALLY sharp, just not the sharpest possible.) When i took it out of the package i had the immediate desire to test it out. It shred the card board bow to pieces. However i may also add that it is not of entire importance for a machete to be RAZOR sharp. other SOG products that i have purchased were sharper with the factory edge, perhaps with the price difference and the purpose of the item. I slightly ajusted the edge with one of those small yellow smiths brand sharpeners (can be found at walmart for about $3 dollars,) on the ceramic side, and its razor sharp now. I dont completely recomend using the same sharpener only becuase its quite cheap, and sog knives should all be professionaly sharpened, becuase of the price.. but me being the person that i am, i am too impatient to send it in and wait for it to come back, or even spend the extra bills when i could be saving those on a new edition to my collection. A razor edge is my prefrence for all my knives. all of the SOG products i have purchased are Magnificent in quality and never let me down. Honestly, before you leave to look at cheaper products so you can buy more for your money, WAIT. I just want to tell you that cheap generic or poorly made knives are NOT worth it. If you dont have enough money for a better product from companies like Benchmade, SOG, Spyderco, Ontario Knife Company, or Kershaw, then dont waste your money on something that will dull or be damaged very quickly. Better knives are worth the extra money and the difference is an inevitable experince. Trust me on this one. If youre really anxious, and just need to buy something because your money is burning a hole in your pocket, purchase a good gerber knife. Still a higher quality knife company, but it saves you a lot of money and it is a good start if you like to collect knives and such like i do.

5.0 out of 5 stars I've put this machete through it's paces and it is GREAT!
Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2011
Verified Purchase
I have read alot of bad reviews about this machete and can only assume either a bad series of them that came out or people who don't have the hand strength to hold it right.

I took this machete into the woods along with my father, brother and a few friends who were all toting chainsaws. We were clearing lanes for deer hunting, and by the end of it, they were all prepped to order this machete.

This thing is light and incredibly strong, and has a comfortable handle that provides for great grip even at the end of a long day. Though, I would have to agree that the sheath leaves something to be desired.

I've cleared entire sections of our 120+ acre property with this machete alone, having only to yield to the chainsaws on really big stuff(4+ inches).

I have used it through 2 separate 2 day sessions swinging this thing for 6+ hours a day, and I am not dissapointed. I cut down what amounts to hundreds of saplings and limbed hundreds of more old-growth trees.

I have just purchased another one as well as the 13" version and will leave both with my sister, who lives full-time on the property, because she was in awe at the efficiency at which I could clear trails and lanes.

On the first day of use, in an attempt to take down a large tree at the base, I did manage to put a slight bend\nick in the blade face, because I didn't swing hard enough to make it through in the first hit, and I came through at a strange angle. Two minutes with a hammer and concrete garage floor fixed that, and I haven't had another issue since.

This will be a permanent addition to my woodland toolbox. Now I just lash it to my ATV any time I'm out in the woods.

5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive quality and utility - Buy it!
Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2016

This is an impressive blade.

I have some nasty blackberries to knock down. Now I have the tool to do it. The machete arrived in retail bubble wrap, blade and case side by side in the hard plastic package. On opening the packaging, I confirmed that the black metal blade was sharp. Razor
sharp in 2 regions, sharp in 2 and 4. The blade is full tang inside a nicely crafted molded hard plastic grip. The balance is excellent, about 4" in front of the handle as center. It swings easily and the grip on the handle is firm.

The saw tooth side is sharpened, and comes with a (packaging) blade cover on the saw tooth side. I plan to keep it for covering the saw side when not in use., and during arm landing in MA.

The nylon case is adequate, I will find some other belt attachment system if I need to carry it.
I rate this blade 9 /10 - Buy it.

Old hater quotes are from early production runs. I can smell that the metallurgy is good... joking a little...

Cet achat correspond bien à attente; toute fois:
- le fil est un peu fragile et devra certainement être refait au fur et a mesure de l'usage;
- le poids est un avantage pour ce travail mais pour un travail de longue alène cela risque de devenir fatigant.
C'est un bon article en général avec un pris tout à fait admissible.

5.0 out of 5 stars After trying several others, this is the one.
Reviewed in Canada on June 12, 2017
Verified Purchase
After trying several others, I've finally settled on this one. Seems like it's built to last, especially since the grip is injection molded right over the one piece blade. I can't see it ever coming loose and when you consider how machetes are used, durability is paramount. Now here is the trade off: Stainless vs carbon steel. I've had others made of high carbon steel which is going to hold an edge better than this stainless steel blade but frankly, I'm tired of pulling a rusted mess out of my sheath every time I want to use it. Vegetation tends to be damp where I am and that will inevitably rust up any high carbon steel blade. And that power coated finish they claim will act as corrosion protection is only going to last you through your first few cuts so this made my decision pretty easy. Yes, I may have to sharpen it a little more frequently but I'll gladly take that for the other benefits of stainless steel.
Pros:
1. This thing is tough. I don't think you could break it under any normal application.
2. One piece handle is comfortable enough and has a non slip texture.
3. Stainless steel blade won't rust and is less brittle than high carbon steel
4. Saw tooth back has offset teeth for faster and easier cutting.

Cons:
1. Kind of nit picking here but the sheath is made of nylon, not leather. Not surprising at this price point and I'm not even sure that leather would be better but it's the one main area that just seemed OK and not great. I'd love it if they offered a deluxe sheath for an added cost.
