In No Way Can This Be Considered A Cutting Tool July 4, 2008

I bought this so my son could have a cheap machete.
It is cheap but it is not a machete. This is a dangerous piece of flimsy metal designed to injure the wielder. Plants laugh at this pathetic impostor and I highly recommend you never look at this page again.
I'm serious... I took one swing with this thing and knew I would never use it. It has no balance, no feel, no blade, and I could break it if I wanted to.
For your own good click the 'back button' on your browser and step away from this "machete".
The worst machette I have ever owned. April 20, 2006

To call this a bad machette would be to generous. It is more accurately described as a machette shaped object.
As other have noted the blade is thin, too flexible, easily rusts, and fails to hold an edge. The handle is poorly made and mine had sharp edges where the handle halves were joined. If you use it without wearing gloves this "tool" will do more dammage to your hand than to the target vegetation.
Th sheath material is 1 step above paper. Technically it will hold the machette on your belt. But if you draw the machette with anything other than utmost care you will cut the sheath.
I can't believe a company with a valuable name like Coleman would put their brand on this embarassing piece of garbage.
It looks useful, but only from a distance January 2, 2006

This tool will not take an edge, either with a grinder or a file. It is very flexible so that the energy of a blow goes into flexing the blade rather than cutting stems, which has undesirable consequences for your hand. If you are looking for a useful tool, keep looking.

These Coleman machetes are essentially useless. They are so lightweight and flexible, I don't know what they intended them to be used for. They will cut some weeds, but they won't cut through brush or any woody plants thicker than maybe 1/2 inch. I have used a few of these, as they are the most commonly available at the hardware stores where I live. They also rust badly.
You're much better off with an Ontario Knife machete, or another better machete.
