Jungle Hunter Machete with Sheath

I don’t like this item,,, I LOVE IT!!! It’s absolutely perfect! If you want a machete what IS a machete, you can’t do no better than this. The handle, the weight, the blade. Everything is put together as good as possible. It’s like a piece of art. Every time I see it I pick it up and admire it. First day, I cut my hand twice (mild). This is what a machete should be

There was some cactus in my yard that needed to be cut back. After waiting six months for my husband to cut it ( he said he would ) I determined that I would do it myself. I looked on the shelf at all the trimmers and cutters that I had used before when dealing with cactus. Every cut has to be made carefully and even using extreme caution I always find cactus stuck in my fingers, arms, hair and places I will not mention. Then I remembered I had "Zombie Killer" and had never used it. I figured WTF I will give it a chance. I removed the sheath carefully and really looked at the knife. With the sharp blade I just knew it was the right tool for cactus chopping. Then I sent the dogs to the house and did exactly what you would expect of a slightly chubby middle aged woman. I held the blade high above my head and said " There can be only one" and then sang the entire Highlander them song including the guitar portion. Even though it was a clear day and no sign of lightning I could feel the power pulsing in the blade. I chopped the crap out of the cactus, broke a pot, took a chunk out of a fence post and removed a tree limb in the matter on minutes. It was .... awesome. It not only made the job much, much easier I didn't end up cactus jabbed. Even hitting the pot twice it did not chip the blade. I have used it several times in the yard. Each time I complete my task and I feel a great sense of accomplishment. I also feel more powerful. I am considering carrying it with me all the time, maybe finding a stylish way to attach it to my handbag. I am buying one for my husband. Zombie Killer is all mine. You should get one too.

This is the story, as I wrote it a year ago:I’d known for years that raccoons used the area under my landlord’s old, junker car, which lay covered in tarps at the bottom of our long, steep driveway, as a hideout. I generally take a live-and-let-live attitude toward urban wildlife (except coyotes), and I never considered raccoons to be dangerous. Well, last night when I let Chase (my dog, a whippet, who is not at all ferocious) out to pee around 8pm, I heard him yelp and saw him sprinting toward me, with the raccoon chasing him! I thought it would stop when it saw me and I started yelling, but it clearly had no fear of humans and ran right past me and kept after Chase. It knocked him off his feet and suddenly they were both rolling in a ball, cartoon-style, and I could see it was as big as him, and he weighs 45 pounds! He was yelping and crying and just trying to escape. I was screaming and grabbing the raccoon’s tail and fur to try and pull it away, but it was not fazed. I didn’t think quickly enough to grab a rock, and I didn’t have shoes, so my hands were literally my only weapons. I tried unsuccessfully to grab one of the raccoon's legs to twist it and possibly break it, which is all I could think of to do. Unfortunately, I don’t think I did much damage to the raccoon, because it ignored me. Then my boyfriend ran out and also started yelling and kicking at it, and it finally seemed to realize that it was 3 against 1… it ran under a car and continued hissing and snarling at us. Chase ran back inside as soon as he got free, and I followed to make sure he was okay. By then all my neighbors had come outside, and they said the raccoon had escaped across the street.Luckily Chase has only minor flesh wounds (although he’s pretty stiff and sore this morning) and is up-to-date on all his shots, and we’ll call Animal Control today to hopefully come trap/kill the raccoon if it’s still in its usual spot or can otherwise be found. But I wanted to share the story to say that if you know of a raccoon lair, it’s probably best to call Animal Control* and get them out of there rather than let them be, because they can be very dangerous, especially if you have small children or animals. I know they will definitely kill outdoor cats, and if Chase had been smaller — or a human toddler — it could have killed him too. It was *that* big and vicious.TIME JUMP TO PRESENT DAY: After this happened, I bought the United Cutlery Savage Jungle Hunter machete for protection in case the raccoon came back, and I can now say that we never saw the raccoon again. That was over a year ago, so my only conclusion can be that the sight of my carrying the machete as I took Chase out to pee every night clearly terrified the raccoon so much that he has stayed far away from our house ever since. Five stars!

So, honestly, too many zombie and apocalypse movies lead me to purchase this machete. Received it last night and went in the back yard to chop back some overgrowth and test it. Here is what I saw:It's a wonderful machete.It's strong. It chopped 1" to 1 1/2" branches without flexing like some other machetes I've bought. It just hacked right through them. And when I accidentally hit the tree stump or the dirt, same thing. No flexing.It is very sharp out of the box. I'm just a normal dude. I can sharpen my pocket knife half way descent, but I can't sharpen anything that sharp.The handle is comfortable while using. Which I was a bit surprised about because the handle looks like it's molded for a hand much larger than mine. I have normal guy hands, for a guy that does not work with his hands much, and the molded handle is just too large for me. When I started using it though, my grip slid up just a bit and I found it was really comfortable. Somewhere between two hundred and three hundred swings, with no gloves, and my hand is fine, where usually I would have rubbed the skin off in a spot.The back of the machete looks like it is a saw. It is not. Tried it anyway on a tree stump, nothing. Just for looks.The look has an intimidation factor. Because, let's face it, in some kind of apocolyptic situation people tend to lose their minds. We've all seen the movies. Well, when you pull this out that crazy dude is going to move on to the easier target just because it looks intimidating.So there, if the handle was better molded for my hand I would give this machete 5 stars, but as is, 4.5 stars.

It came already sharp and it nice solid build. the blade is thicker than other machetes and let me tell you it works great. I was cutting down tree limbs and small trees that were at least 2 or 3 inches thick with one swipe of the blade. This ideal for backyard brush removal . The handle is good with a no slip grip ,it fit perfectly in my hand. It's a great deal for the price.

Great experience

It's an awesome looking machete knife that my son picked out to give to my son on law for Christmas. He saw it and said it's like a forged in fire multi talented machete. He is 8 and loves the show does my son in law. Got it with no problems on packaging or time. Price you can't get the quality workmanship, variety of blades, sharpness, handle, and weight with stability like this, any cheaper than what they offer it for or you just might find yourself begging for help to cut a wet noodle. You won't be disappointed, unless you cut yourself!!!

Works great.
