        Ok for what you pay
        For less than 25 dollars, my expectations were low. Not impressed with it but not overly disappointed. Guessing these are UK approved since they stop grinding/shaping the edge about an inch from the tip. Wasn’t overly sharp out of the sheath. Took about 5 minutes on the belt grinder with 220-440 grit belts to get it well enough. Internet searches show these might be 1070 steel. Harness of the steel is about 53 hrc. Even a spring steel should be over 55 hrc so not sure why these are low on the harness. Could be better but holds an edge decently and make s it easy to sharpen. Handle is small/short for me, so the heel will end up rubbing a blister into my palm. The shape feels good until you start swinging it. IE gloves are a must. Honestly the lack of bevel and edge to the tip wasn’t the worst for me since I can fix that. The low HRC is the bigger disappointment since you’ll be spending more time keeping a good edge on it if you’re using it a lot. Did hack up some brush with it after sharpening, and did well. Cutting through 1” or less did ok. If you know how to sharpen them and don’t need to stab or poke something with it, then not a bad choice. The lack of usable tip, small handle and lower HRc makes 3 star on the review for me. It’s not bad. If they had an option for 3.5 I’d go with that. The crazy part is the edge bevel and grind was surprisingly good, not sure why they stopped and inch from the tip. Complete bevel, slightly longer handle and better heat treat and it would be a big box store 5 star. For what you’re paying, probably the best choice there.

          Useless
          The machete was not sharp at all. It may have been able to do what I needed it to do (berry bush removal and head pruning), but I'll never know. I swung at this tiny limb 3 times and this is all the machete did. Should it have been as described, this may be a different review. Sadly returned.

            This is the Real Tramontina - Made in Brazil
            A common complaint about Tramontina Machetes purchased from Jeff's "Jungle" site, is that they are unbranded and likely knock-offs. The one I purchased from Home Depot is a Genuine Tramontina. It has a nice edge, and I was able to easily finish it to a very sharp edge with a mill file. It also comes with a sheath, unlike the one from "Jungle." Great find at Home Depot at a great price, too. (If you are new to Machetes, do yourself a favor by viewing some safety videos on "utube.")

              Great machete!
              Good value, very sharp, I’ve cut down a few small trees with it and it is holding up great for being only 20 bucks. I would greatly recommend it!

                Surprising Quality
                I thought it might be impossible to find a good machete at this price, however this one is incredible. It has a perfect weight and balance and it is sharp. I cut down small trees with this thing yesterday as well as any hatchet and it remained sharp. This thing could be dangerous if you’re not careful. It could definitely take your leg off. Be sure to always swing left to downward right or right to downward left. Do not swing straight down because if you hit your leg it will be amputated.
