Fiskars Machete Saw, Tempered Steel Blade, One-Handed Grip Handle with Secured Wrist Lanyard, 18 Inches

This machete is great . The blade is strong , the saw is good and the price is a bargain . I usually don't write reviews , but I had to give this two thumbs up

I told my wife I got this to help chop down the overgrown foliage in the back 40. It does work for that, but in all honesty, I got it because I thought it would make a great weapon for the zombie apocalypse. Given how easily it slices through tree branches though, I have no doubt it can be just as effective—if not more so—in severing the heads of the recently undead from their reanimated corpses. Will I ever find out? Who knows? But if you read in the news about a bored middle-aged man from the suburbs going on a decapitation spree with a machete, you can probably assume I got tired of waiting.

Nice feel but does not come sharp. The saw on the back looks a little menacing but is a pretty handy feature for brush. Snapped right at the second sawtooth on some I guess hardy Virginia thorny vines. The blade is still in good shape but dull and not useful anymore. Will check with Fiskars on the lifetime warranty and update here.

Wear gloves long use would def create blisters. But that is true with most hand tools of this type. The grip is a good design (ergonomic)

I’ve been buying Fiskars garden tools for many years, and they are the best. The quality is excellent, and they have a lifetime replacement warranty if something does break. You can’t go wrong with this brand!

This is a lower mid tier machete and the price matches. It may, in fact, be slightly cheaper than the quality of the product.Swings? Yes.Saws? Kinda.Cuts? Mostly.Sharpening the blade may improve your experience. I intend to do that at some point.The only major drawback besides its relatively blunt edge and slick rubber handle is the blade wobbles in a way that makes me concerned it will throw the blade at some point. This flaw makes me hesitant to sharpen the blade due to the threat of turning the blade into a projectile at any moment.That said, it has done what I purchased it to do: cut high brush in order to carve a trail to my favorite fishing holes.

1st, doesn't everyone require a machete in their collection of tools?2nd, if you have brush to battle, this is for you.3rd, need a birthday gift for a friend? This is a great idea at a fair price. You will never forget your first machete.

It's a Fiskar machete and the product delivered exactly what I expected. It would be nicer if they offered a sheath but it does everything I'd ask from a machete.
