REAT Ninja Sword with Sheath, 26" Fantasy Full Tang Desgin,440 Stainless Steel Blade with Black Coating,Non-silp Cord-Wrapped Handle,Real Swrods for Adults (Black)

This knife looks more like a short sword than a machete. If you're looking for something that looks nice and something to put in your collection this could be a good addition for you. But I find that it's not very functional for chopping and that's what I was hoping to get it for. It is Very light easy to swing. When mine came it was not as sharp as I would like but that's easily taken care of. I'm not a big fan of the the handle although it does have a full tang. The corded handle seemed to turn and twist in my hand as I tried to use it. My son and I went out and tried to use it too cut a few small branches(more twigs then branches) to trim them back in to shape. And we both had the same problem every time we swung the machete it would turn sideways on us before we ever reach the cutting surface. which I found a little bit dangerous and it would bounce off instead of cutting. It looks nice and is made of good steel. The sheath fits the knife well I don't know how well snaps will hold and how durable the strap that goes around your shoulder will be but it does work well to keep a sharp knife away from you when you're carrying it.

This machete is really stylish and functional. I kept meaning to get one as I have a ton of briar bushes on the property and hate getting near them. This lets you stay an arms length away while chopping them up. Do yourself a favor and swipe away from your body so no accidents happen! The blade is sharp and the rope wrapped handle is easy to grip. I was making good progress chopping old and new briars. I will keep this in the arsenal for just this purpose.

Excellent. I read some not so positive reviews, but I still wanted to buy it. Most of the negative points are things you can see on the picture. The item is great, but you need to have some clear expectations. First, it's not a machete for heavy work. Actually, I wouldn't use it to cut thick wood either. Second, as a sword, it's not well balanced. That is, if you want to judge it as a regular sword. But again, that is also you can expect from just looking at the picture. Given these points, I still give it five stars because it feels well made and it's something cool and different. I don't agree it's only for decoration. Cutting fruits or other things in the air with it is really fun.
