SOG Phantom Strike Machete/HQ Edition

Had a decent edge and very sturdy. Functional and cut 3” in diameter tree limbs with ease.

It;s super cool and it is very functional. cuts through 2' scrub trees with ease.

Cool blade shaped to a fine tip very cool mashite will cut and kill

The SOG Machete itself is excellent sharp, solid and well finished. OTOH, the scabbard is okay, but on mine the retainer strap was put on upside down, and was therefore USELESS. So, I took a sharp knife to it and cut it loose, turned it over, and the snap button was too far back on the strap to reach the snap itself. Still USELESS, but not a deal breaker. SOG always builds quality edged tools, and I own several of them. The retention strap is essentially a "feel good" item, because the sheath fits like a glove, and is tight enough to hold the machete in place even if you are hanging upside down from something. Strongly recommend this machete and vendor!

My dad loved this as a gift. They said the handle is thick and the blade works well.

The machete is good to go but the sheath sucks. The retaining strap is stitched on backwards and to short to fit around the handle to hold it in. Also the belt loop is to narrow to fit an average size belt. However the Machete seems fine.

This thing is sharp, lightweight and bad a**

People need to be honest about items. This thing is all show. It looks like a bada$$ movie prop from Gladiator. If you actually hold it and apply the slightest bit of lateral pressure to the flat side of the blade it sounds and feels like it's going to explode. You can hear and feel the crackling in the plastic handle resonating from the blade. The blade is way too thin for the length of this machete and the hard plastic handle is terrible quality. I kind of feel like this thing is targeted for people that don't care about any of those things.
