I bought one of these off Amazon after I saw one online and then read about them on blade forums.
bought from Red's Gear on Amazon.
1. The thing ain't so bad. The blade/grip angle is neat and really helps with cutting. The blade seems to be sharpened differently in certain areas. The tip is somewhat sharp while the area closer to the handle is sharper.
2. The sheath is a piece of junk. I do leather work, so I'll probably build a new one for it or rehab the one that came with it since the fasteners are really the culprit in the quality dept. It's cordura(tm), so it's light, and that's good. Just needs better rivets and closures.
For camping where a big fire is needed or limbing trees, or whatever else you'd use a machete for, it's a pretty good tool.
I'm going on a backpacking trip this weekend, so if anyone is interested I'll update this after I see how it does in camp.
