Review: Wicked Cool!!! - I have been wanting this Hibben Machete for a loooong time. I was a bit cautious which is why it's taken me so long to purchase it. It arrived yesterday and what can I say other than 'AWESOME'. This item looks EXACTLY as pictured, is EXTREMELY sturdy, and fits perfectly in hand. Like others have mentioned, not 'razor sharp' but sure sharp as hell. Run it across an Arkansas stone once or twice and you have an edge sharp enough to split the hairs on a nats butt. The sheath is very nice, bit of a tight fit though. While I like the leather lanyard and thigh tie, I'll be replacing those with paracord, just because I don't want them breaking at a moment I need them the most. Like others mentioned, the blade does say 'CHINA' on one side, I however am not so bothered by that as others are. Based on what I see in my hand, I have every reason to believe this thing will last a life time and hold an edge long enough to do any job I put before it. Isn't that all a blade is supposed to do? HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ITEM TO ANYONE!!!!
Review: HAIR SHAVING SHARP! - This thing belongs in a museum it looks so nice! The wood handle is beautiful, the edge it came with will DEFINITELY do the job! Sheath is good quality too! Would I trust this in the combat zone? You better believe it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Biggest, Baddest Kid On The Block!!
*by B***7 on August 30, 2012*

This is absolutely, positively, the most Bad-Ass "Machete" I've ever used. It's not a machete in the classic sense. You would never use this to clear light brush, grasses, lots of fast swings. It is quite heavy. This is an amazing chopper. It works like a giant axe. I cut through a 16 inch tree stump in about 20 swings. I broke down 8 large branches from an aspen tree in a matter of minutes. I could definitely see using this as a "combat" machete. Some other reviewers have commented on the quality, or lack there of. Mine came razor sharp out of the box. Slicing paper in mid-air razor sharp. After extended use outdoors, it has maintained its edge. I have not had to sharpen it yet. The handle is comfortable, and attached firmly. The sheath is made of real leather and fits the blade perfectly, it might not be the sturdiest, most well-made, but it works fine. I want to order one of these for everyone I know. It looks Bad-Ass! Feels Bad-Ass in your hand! And Chops like a Mo-Fo! I'm just waiting for the price to go back down.
