Ontario Knife Company Traditional Machete for Outdoor Gear and Gardening Supplies – ONCT5

It is a superior quality product however it is extremely nose heavy.

Super high quality a serious large sharp rigid machete, not the flimsy "survival" units all hencho en china, this is legit.

Over all it is a good tool. I used it to clear some bamboo of the property. I with they included a sheath with it. The handle is not the most comfortable but feels sturdy and will probably last a long time. So far it has taken about 4 hours of heavy use and feels like a very good quality implement.

Comfortable grip, thick blade, sharp. Quality traditional machete. Been cool if it came with sheath or scabbard.

I don’t usually write reviews because I’m not getting paid for it so who cares. But I need you guys to hear this. Honestly I’ve owned a bunch of machetes through the years. I like the concept but wasn’t ever really wow’d by them. Well this ain’t no Walmart machete made in China BS. This is the REAL deal. Heavy, heavy duty. Long. I wrestled with the price, with which length to get, this or the 18 inch. I’d get this one all over again. Feels so good to hold and sturdy in the hand. Absolutely devastating to whatever branch or lumber you are swinging it at. I jinxed myself telling my wife the edge wasn’t all that sharp. But it’s nasty. Jagged and sturdy edge. I ran my middle finger over it and immediately blood started sprouting out. Don’t let that working edge fool you. Overall, this will be a forgiving and dependable companion for a lifetime. I use the length to hell move logs around on the fire without getting burned....all kinda stuff. It’s my buddy. GET IT! The math on the price adds up if you have prime because of shipping costs.

I've been a land surveyor for 20 years, and the OKC 22" is the go-to machete for many of us. We clear brush all the time, and this machete is one of the most durable I've seen. Under continuous use it will last years, but with enough accidental dings like clipping fences with it etc, the blade will weaken over time and most likely split. You definitely get your money's worth until that day happens though. I've only broken a couple in 20 years... It's far more common to lose them lol. Great product.

I have owned several machetes and have always found them to be handy for a variety of tasks. This is by far the most expensive one I've ever purchased, and certainly the best quality. I knew ahead of time that I would have to sharpen it -- no problem. However, I do have a problem with the handle. It's solid, yes, but I find it to be very non-ergonomic. Every blow results in the machete twisting in my grip, which means I'm not controlling the action at all. This is a dangerous situation, especial given the heft of this blade and the momentum involved. This is a blader that should have a well contoured grip and it doesn't. I would've expected a better grip for the price. Like I said, sharpening the blade - expected. Replacing the grip? Not expected. I've never made a custom grip before, but I'm about to learn how to do it...

The machetes were perfect. good thick blade and a sturdy handle.

Arrived sharp, great quality and very happy with it.
