What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the cutting performance, describing the blade as sharp out of the box and cutting through thick branches and dense vegetation effortlessly. The heavy, well-balanced design delivers powerful cuts, and many note the blade maintains effectiveness after initial use. The ergonomic grip feels comfortable and secure even when wet or wearing gloves, reducing hand fatigue during extended use. The sheath offers sturdy construction with a secure snap closure, though some mention the retaining strap is too short and difficult to snap shut. A few report the blade dulls after heavy use, requiring resharpening. Overall, most customers consider it a reliable, well-built tool for serious yard work.

Your child may disappear for hours of old time fun
Would RecommendExcellent distraction for a teenage boy. He has enjoyed several hours of chopping brush. Even took down a sappling. The blade held up and the edge is still good. Sharp, no glinting and no chips.

I think it works
Would RecommendIt takes several swipes to cut, originally purchased to cut back banana trees but new growth was already coming up and the machete bounced off.
Verified Purchaser
Thank you for sharing your experience. Banana plants can be tricky. While they look woody, the stalks and new growth are very fibrous and springy, wh...
Beast of a machete
This thing is a beast. It’s very durable and can handle larger brush. The only downside is the handle to big and it likes to slide out of your hand.

Amazing must have!
This Machete is awesome! I’ve owned one for years now and it’s always been perfect for cutting tender and chunks of wood. The other reviewers are are probably trying to cut their toenails. Seriously it’s a great tool, it’s flexible and rigid at the same time.
From Fiskars
Too expensive for what it fails to deliver
Would Not RecommendLousy unsharp not good not ready for immediate use
The blade can be sharpened to restore its cutting performance and make it ready for immediate use.
It sucks don’t waste your money
It’s not sharpe enough, it barely works if at all
If the edge isn’t performing as expected, a few passes with a sharpening tool can help restore the blade.
Good Machete
Good machete. Have been using it to cut through some dense overgrowth around my home. Especially useful for cutting down bamboo and cutting through large patches of weeds and grass
Sounds like it’s handling tough jobs exactly as designed — the 8.5-in Composite Machete is great for clearing dense overgrowth, bamboo, and thick veg...
Dull Blade
Would Not RecommendI used the machete to clear overgrown Bermuda grass. The clearing was done more by force than by the blade. The tip was sharper than the rest, but that's not the part I used most. I accidentally hit my gloved hand 3 times. No harm was done. Two blows were glancing ones.
We appreciate the feedback—our blades are designed to stay sharp, but they may need a quick sharpening depending on the material being cut. Regular m...
First impressions matter, and it’s good to hear the build quality is already standing out. Hopefully it lives up to that promise once it gets some re...
