Very nice 2 handed machete shaped like a Katana. Came very sharp, not shaving sharp, but still very sharp!! Will come in handy this spring for trimming down tall grasses around the house.

Cool sword/machete - very sharp - good display or work piece

For the money, it's perfect! Very sharp and actually durable

This thing is huge and super solid. Overtextured grip gives great purchase even with gloves. Solid sheath. Great quality, great price!

This machete is a beast! Came paper cutting sharp out of the box. The edge is ground straight. There is a small bur on the edge and I stropped it off and now it's shaving sharp! Cuts water bottles ,pool noodles and rolles straw mats like butter. I haven't tried it on wood yet. I lucked out I believe and got one made in South Africa and not China.

Sharp and looks like it will take some punishment. Looking for a different sheath though

I bought this with much skepticism… After training with it for 6+ months, I would feel completely comfortable using this tool to defend my life. If only it came both a better saya/scabbard…

I recently purchased both the tactical katana machete and tactical wakizashi machete. Several years ago I purchased the previous model the two handed katana machete and was excited to purchase the newer model. When it first arrived I was excited and immediately impressed with the katana size and style. Very cool. Then I used it! The scabbard is cheesy and worthless!!! It is the same scabbard as the old model except the put a hole in the top. It’s probably an inch or more too wide for the blade so it’s sloppy inside it, even though the new blade is narrower closer to a real katana the scabbard is still made for the wider blade, the strap is worthless not even close to usable. The katana is completely redesigned from the previous version the two handed katana machete, but the scabbard didn’t change except a hole at the top. Next the handle. The day after I received it in the mail I went out weed cutting. The raised fake ray skin handle is very hard on the hands, gloves are a must! Near the hilt is a raised part that will rub a blister on my right forearm finger after using for a short period of time.

Glad you have this. BUT, I wish it was clean, white steel, and, long handle with wakizashi blade. I had to cut it down to size myself. And, plan to sand off the black coating some time in the future.

I gave it 3 stars because it's awesome but cheap. When fully sharpened anything it touches is falling on the floor. Is very cheaply made but durable. I'd take on a pack of coyotes with it no problem
