Sports reviews of Standard Issue 18 inch Military Machete

Customer Review: Excellant Machete
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

This machete by Ontario Knife Company is a well made, durable machete. I first saw one of these when my Reserve unit was deployed to Honduras in the 1980's. I liked my issue machete enough to go purchase one. While my jungle trimming days are past, there are still enough tree limbs and branches about the yard that this item makes short work off. It's light, yet hefty enough - if that makes any sense - to plow through 2" tree branches if wielded with strength. I have had one for 25 years now. I have the plastic issue sheath, which I prefer to the canvas ones more commonly seen now. I prefer the real thing and this is it. Not some 'GI Style' knockoff that may look the part, but won't hold up in battle against those branches.
