Es un cuchillo muy bonito me estuvo encantando ✨❤️ buen material

This is a very fun unique blade! The build quality is quite excellent, and it comes more than sharp enough for the type of heavy duty work it's said to be meant for.The box this comes in has no other lettering than what appears in my photo. I think it says something about sakura, but it's likely random lettering for the Japanese vibe, nothing deeper than that.The description says this is high carbon steel, and one of the product images says this is 62±2 HRC. Without the disclosure of what exact steel this is, I am highly skeptical of this hardness claim though. The amount of steel in this blade is too high for such hardness to be affordable. However, I don't really care. I got this blade with these doubts in mind, and expecting what will probably more be HRC 56-58, something great for chopping, and just fun to have around.It's a bit smaller and far heavier than I'd want for a machete. Those are usually a fair bit longer and made of thinner lighter steel, so you can whack at brush all day long. Your arm will drop off your body if you try whacking for very long with this blade. However, as a chopper, it does extremely well. The weight is good, light enough to handle the downwards motion with control, and heavy enough to really add its own bite with its own inertia.With a dozen or so heavy hits into some framing lumber, this did very well. Deep cuts and no sign of damage to the blade edge. I do expect to eventually get nicks and dings and even minor rolling over time as I use this as a beater blade, occasionally sharpening it as needed.The original asking price is reasonable but I'd be more comfortable with it if real details about this steel were disclosed.

The media could not be loaded. Absolutely impressed with the Freelander Japanese Style High Carbon Steel Machete! The blade is razor-sharp, well-balanced, and perfect for heavy-duty tasks. The red sandalwood handle feels amazing in hand, and the craftsmanship is top-notch. Ideal for camping, hiking, and yard work — durable, stylish, and built to last!

Le doy un 3 1/2 por que le falto filoSi tiene un buen peso

This is a beautifully designed small sized machete/cleaver. The full tang German steel blade comes nice and sharp and it's a good hard steel. The handle as well as the sheath are both made out of nicely finished red sandalwood. This is a good sized tool to carry sheathed on my hip. This feels almost like a big cleaver, it works good at chopping through all sorts of stuff.

This Japanese-style machete is impressive! It looks so cool, I really don't want to go whacking down any vines or anything with it at all! Its very hefty and the back of the blade is very thick, adding quite a bit of power to the swing. It feels nice in my hand and is fairly well balanced. The scabbard is a nice touch, too. The blade itself is very sharp... I'm more than satisfied with my order. Price is well worth it, and it's not even that expensive. 10/10, highly recommend (for a display piece!). Although, if you aren't putting it on display or anything like that, it would work well as a cosplay weapon or even as a, dare I say, functional machete...

This Japanese-style machete feels like a blend of elegance and toughness. The red sandalwood handle has a smooth, comfortable grip, and the full tang blade is thick enough to tackle branches, vines, and even small logs.The leather sheath is sturdy, making it safe to carry on hikes or camping trips. It slides out easily when you need it but stays secure otherwise.It’s sharp right out of the box and holds its edge well after repeated use. Definitely a tool you’d keep in your outdoor kit.
