Q: Why the proposition 65 warning? Handle? What do you shark what to use to sharpen? Thank you!

I don't know what a proposition 65 warning is..... If you are referring to the red handle, you find it comes in handy if you drop it in the jungle (or the lawn). I sharpen with a diamond hone from Harbor Freight.

Q: is this full tang

Typically machetes don't have tangs get the Ontario if you want a better carbon steel I don't really care for this one so much.

Q: que dureza tiene este mahete

La dureza es relativa a su uso normal de un machete. Hay que tener cuidado, porque tiene mucho filo.

Question 1

Is it already sharpened?

Accepted Answer

No machete comes 'sharpened'... They come with a rudimentary bevel that you hone into the edge you want.   For soft woods and bush, you develop and edge that is, say, 15 degrees.  For hardwoods and thick saplings you develop and edge that has an angle of 25  degrees or even steeper.   If the steel is of low quality, you have to go with a steep edge regardless of what you are cutting.   The Corona is carbon steel and is of excellent quality.   I use it in the tropics on mostly soft stuff so I have a very thin, tapered edge that is very very sharp.  I've used a lot of machetes over the years and I swear by these.   They are not pretty and, yes, the edge needs to be developed.  That said, you have to keep any machete sharp.  Start with a fine, mill-bastard file going with the edge.  Make sure you maintain the angle you wish to develop.  Lots of YouTube vids on how to sharpen.  Once you have the angle you want, use a  small, <$20 diamond sharpening stone (fine grit) to finish.   You'll use the sharpening stone for lots of other stuff, too so it's not just for the machete.   Good luck
