Machado Hand-Sharpened Knife with Leather Sheath - Forged Multipurpose Meat Cleaver Butcher Kitchen Knife

I dont know the origins of this brand and if it is Chinese or Indian or European ( least likely, but Machado is knife in Portugese), but I like the full tang blade and overall balance. It cuts out of the box logs and trunks. Sharpness is adequate. The sheath is a cheap polyester one obviously considering the total price but one can always make his own custom sheath with high quality leather. Overall value for money if you do not want to splurge in high end cutlery brands or really expensive knifes for say a local trip necessarily but also quality for the customer. I think this brand is doing a good job in that regard, which is keeping customers happy. This is a good design and its way better than the stuff you can bu from outdoorsy brands like Coleman for instance. Not to be judgmental but I own several high end premium products and brands but once in a while I do appreciate the affordable quality range of products and this is one of them.

Likes:Blade strength: pretty damn good!Tang length: FullEdge retention after first use: Superb!Grip: Pretty comfortable 👌Weight: Good enough for chopping fire wood.Spine thickness: 3 mmSharpness: Decent, chopping knives don't have to be razor sharp!Dislikes:Sheath: Cheap quality, not meant for rough use. Its too thin to carry a knife of this sharpness. Also, the one I recieved was damaged. I believe it's a manufacturing issue, importer/ seller can't do much about it....Handle: Grip is good and sturdy, but I expected it to be wood, turned out to be plastic. I hope it will last long enough.

The blade is toooo good to be available at this price, its the right size and weight, the cover is toooo bad as it gets damaged by tge blade itself and is made up of very cheap quality material but its ignorable as the blade is hands down the best at this price range

This product is very good 👍🏻 I really like it the quality is very good packaging is also very good 😊

Beyond my expectation...size of the blade is reasonable but if it's double the thickness, it could have been a sturdy jungle knife, even then it can be used as a survible knife, sharpness fine, stainless steel, full tang which could be used to batton-chopping

The media could not be loaded. Pros :- Worth every penny.- Good weight for chopping firewood.- Sharp straight out of box.- Ergonomically good.- Great size for Campings & Treks. Chop wood or vegetables.- Looks Cool.CONS/ Would happily PAY More for these changes :- Sheath Sucks ( Please make a Strapable, heavy duty Sheath)- Better Quality Steel Needed ( This is good but wont stand for long, Would need extra care and sharpening after every trip)- Handle Comfort ( Could use Better solid handle)- Would love a black colour way of blade (Oxidation colour)This has the potential to become the next‘Kershaw - Camp 10’ Knife.Very happy overall. Just because the price is perfect.Do make a second gen of this knife.Would happily pay double the amount or even more.

SOLID BUILD. Heavy SS blade feels tough and does the job well. Handle’s high-quality plastic, but honestly feels sturdy and grippy. Good balance, no gimmicks. Just a reliable, well-made tool.

Perfectly made
