I was a little hesitant to spend this much for a machete. I usually get the Tramontinas with the spring steel on the cheap. They have served me well. But I liked the steel and the micarta handle so I pulled the trigger. Just got it today and I'm glad I did. The balance just slightly forward and is perfect for a weapon as well as a chopper . I'm a big fan of micarta and the handle is comfortable and grippy. I have not cut with it yet, but I know that is not a problem. If these come up at this price again I will get another.

I think this is a better deal and you can get a rothco nylon sheath (also on Amazon) for just about half the price (with shipping and tax) as this machete. It's made of the same material and is the same quality exactly just 4 inches shorter. https://www.amazon.com/Ontario-Knife-Company-Retail-Machete/dp/B000MF7LK0/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1490705170&sr=1-1&keywords=ontario+12+in+machete

bitheadAfter researching the machete I posted further, I have to agree the blades are quite different in materials used. The machete I posted is made out of inferio 1095 carbon and the handle, without question, is shittier. That being said, what's the difference in purpose between the two machetes? They both are machetes, both have 3mm thick blades (as far as I can tell) and both are long enough to be used to whack away pushes and strong enough to break open coconuts (the fruit I would be tackling enthusiastically with either).

Is this more expensive than the last drop? I don't remember, but the last drop was 2 weeks ago.

m0arpheusit's a few dollars cheaper now. I think price was 69.99 at it's lowest plus 7 for shipping, so you save 3 dollars this time.

Avatar used it as their logo... I lost all faith in the movie once I saw that.

Is it me, or is the tip different than the normal Ontario bushcraft machete?
This one is more pointed, the point is more "upswept".
Are the photos manipulated? Or is the blade configuration in fact different?

I'm going for it. I'm going to order the rothco 18 in molle sheath

The plastic insert does NOT cover the tip, so if you put it in all the way, it's going to cut a hole in it. It's suggested to purchase this guy

Mod it (hack? What?) And swap out the plastic insert with it.
And that's what I'm going to do.
Cheers!

ontario supplies the regular version of the bushcraft machete with a sheath specifically for this knife. I just can't find the sheath sold by itself from any online dealer. I like how the description suggests to use it as a self defense weapon...I didn't think it needed to be stated so obviously, but yes.

Please specify if this comes with a sheath so I can order one before the machete arrives if it's without sheath.

Yea, no problem - I was just letting you know incase you were shopping around, a lot of machetes aren't sold with sheaths. Mine sits in the garage on a nail- but Rothco makes a good nylon machete sheath.

ISKGarage nail is not a good place for a bushcraft machete :) It has to be on one's hip, so can you please elaborate on which particular sheath fits this blade?
