Review: Quality working machete - This company started making machetes in a small blacksmith shop in Brazil in 1911. That provenance is shown in the simple and practical functionality of this machete. I have an 18 inch Tramontina machete with a wooden handle that works well in tight areas. This 24" machete is front weighted and can reach out and touch some gnarly brush and saplings. It is a working machete. The very tip and first 4" of the blade are unsharpened in a traditional fashion to limit injury. I suggest leaving it that way. The handle is molded plastic with a bit of texturing on it. It functions well for all but the largest hands. One gripe is the flat cut off at the end of the handle. It's a bit uncomfortable but can be rounded off with a flat file. The blade is maybe 3-5mm and flexes some but is controllable. It sharpens up nicely and a few drops of oil will keep it rust free for years. A classic working machete at a bargain price. Highly recommended. (note- no sheath is included with this machete.)
Review: poor mans brush hog - Workhorse. Clears thorny berries like a hot knife through butter when swung proper. slammed into a few small stumps and even got it good and stuck and slowly pulled it out and no warping. used it like a hoe to chop short weeds blade in the dirt a lot. I like that the blade handles abuse very well. I hit a cinder block hiding in the brush and damage was minimal. Even after hitting rocks and stumps this blade is worked but still not ready for me to sharpen up. basically functions almost like a weedwacker except for tight edging but hoping the 18in one i got on order will do fence work.... this bigger one couldnt get enough room to chop against overgrowth on a fence. taped the handle and added a short lanyard also as suggested for safety. muuuch better than the coghlans piece of crap I used to have

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good steel, but the handle needs some work
*by S***R on June 29, 2012*

Previously, I have only tried out the wooden-handles Tramontina machetes. They are made with exceptionally good steel. They take a better edge than I've been able to get on other machetes, and they hold it better. The Tramontina steel is markedly better than that used in the Cold Steel machetes, or even US-made Ontario machetes. The biggest problem with the wood-handled machetes is the handle. The plastic-handled one I tried is much the same. The handles is slippery, and yet also abrades the hand when in use. I don't know hoe they managed that. With the wooden-handled model, a little sanding makes the handle much more comfortable to use. I would think that a little hockey tape or something similar would really help the plastic-handled machete. The handle shape is a little uncomfortable in use. It digs into my hand when I am chopping vines and such. It needs a little padding. The plastic handle does at least have a lanyard hole, which is a useful feature, and is not found on the wooden-handled version. If I needed a lanyard hole, I'd consider this machete, but otherwise I'd go with the wooden handle. It is more comfortable to use and easier to hold onto. The blade appears to be slightly superior on this model than on the wooden-handled model. It has a real ricasso, rather than just a section at the bottom that looks like somebody forgot to sharpen it. That is more attractive, and also lets you see, at a glance, where the cutting edge starts. You'll use that part of the edge down near the handle for more delicate cutting tasks, like maybe peeling fruit. The machete is a camping and survival tool, and it must be useful for many different kinds of jobs. As on the wooden-handled machete, this one arrived without a good edge on it. It could have been used to clear brush, but it cuts much better with a sharper edge. A few minutes with a file put a good working edge on it. As with other Tramontinas, the construction is a little sloppy and the edge was uneven. After filing, I found that there was a short section in the middle of the blade that was just as dull as before. It took several more minutes to even out the edge and get it sharp all the way down. The machete cut well and held its edge. No surprise there, as Tramontina makes about the best machete blades you'll find, without spending hundreds on a custom machete. For temperate zones, I have found the Cold Steel Magnum Kukri machete will outperform any other I've tried, including the Tramontinas. The Tramontina steel is superior, but the blade shape of the magnum Kukri performs beautifully. If you are sold on a latin-style machete, then Tramontina is the best, but for cutting the denser plants we have in the US, the latin-style blade shape is inefficient. If Tramontina would start offering a kukri-style blade in the US, it would probably be the best factory-produced machete available in the history of the world.
