Knives EXPAT Jaraca Kukri Machete - Cordura Sheath - Walnut Wood Handle

This handle is quite possibly the worst handle of any knife I have ever owned. And time will tell if them choosing wood was a good idea, I think it might have been a bad idea. Pinches and my hands are pretty avg. Where the handle comes down to keep from slipping back or forward it is sharp and crowded. I dont know if I want to take an angle grinder to this of just use it sparingly. The Sheath is ok, but I am not too excited about its ease of use and durability. I have not used it much but the steel seems more than capable and if not ESEE's warranty keeps me warm at night.

Risked it after so many mediocre reviews and I’m sure glad I did! I have size M/L hands and the handle felt perfect! The kukri gave razor sharp, but still at w/ an angle that kept it sharp even after some blunt impacts to a dry hard coconut. The sheath is simple and direct. I like that there is no Velcro. Very light weight. Well worth the money.

Actually it does not feel like a kukri Hold it by the very end and maybe kinda but not really.

It lacks the fit and finish of other esee products, I feel like I'm just paying for the name. Not to mention the sheath

The feel of the knife is good But not sharp. Wood handle cheap and rivited. If you could buy scales for it or have already a Micarta handle on it, it would be a1000 times better. Sheath is junk.

Quality machete. Only worried about warranty, called ESEE and they gave confirmation - same as those made in US, lifetime etc.

I have a Onterio kukri ($48 no complaints, no longer available) This is basically rebranded same kukri for$130. I have four esee knives no complaints. I hoped the warranty is justas good on this one. But the esee’s brand logo is no where to be found on the product. Makes me wonder.

put profit over quality
