Expected this to be a fun, durable, Bush tanto. It is.
The guard is of the same steel as the blade and is sized so my hands ( male xl glove size ) can choke up in a pinch. Chopping, stripping, and carving a jo staff was pleasant. Easy to sharpen, decent edge retention.
Will cut grasses, vines, thorny crrraaaap, small green wood to about an inch or so depending on skill.
Grip and sheath are marginal and easy to customize. Here is my padded oversize grip, my belt loop mod is far too sleazy to share, regrets.
If bow or black powder hog hunting would not turn down one of these although not a first pick, not too shabby.
Vibration from chopping is no joke unless you electric, duct tape, paracord, then Wilson over grip. Then it's all good.
If new to swinging short swords and long knives please respect this blade. Cheap and thin but a serious cutting blade.
Not a perfect factory sharpening job, but a very good one and easy to bring to Zen.
The yellow tape on haft also helps mute handle shock for me and the lanyard helps me chop accurately.

Hoja de buen tamaño , algo mas grande que los Bowies o cuchillos grandes .
Buen filo y todavía se le puede sacar más con unas pasaditas en el afilador , quedando de miedo.
La funda viene como se muestra en los videos de youtube, que para mi gusto fue la mejor opción, (no es la de la imagen )
El mango es de plástico y para algunos puede ser molesto en su agarre , (no es mi caso ) pero se puede mejorar bastante con una cinta willson o alguna otra de su conveniencia.
EXTREMELY SHARP!!!! - take extra precaution when handling!! from what I've seen of the model i received, does well as light - medium brush machete as well as a quick and light home defence tool. All tools loose micro levels of durability on every strike - nothing is perfect, but this "tanto-chete" holds a decent edge after multiple uses.
Would put in the side of my camping/survival bag - would recommend to any looking for a cheap but reliable piece, might grab another one myself lol.
Una mezza katana machete davvero bella da tenere in mano, il filo non è male, ma si può ravvivare senza problemi, io l'ho fatto, adesso è un rasoio.
Acciaio al carbonio 1055 niente male, ed è un Hidden Tang, Spessore lama: 2.80mm.
Lunghezza totale 50cm.
Da vetrina o da lavoro, a voi la scelta, fodero in Cor-Ex sheath molto resistente.
Manico molto solido in Polypropylene, bella presa, ottima la guardia in stile katana.
Ad un prezzo cosi basso è un affare, per chi ama le cose esagerate non se lo deve far sfuggire!!!
Soddisfatto moltissimo e lo consiglio.
