Colombian Military Surplus Assorted Machetes, 5 Pack, New

A very cool grab bag of very solid blades. As advertised, popular Latin brands with very nice high carbon steel. Worth it.

These machetes will need a lot of sharpening before they will cut brush very well but overall this is a great deal. Overall quality is good. The grips could use some sanding as well. These have a lot of potential.

Wow! They’re very well made. All 5 came sharpened. Some reviews say they weren’t. I’ll probably give a couple of them to a friend. Can’t beat the price.

A great deal - it's difficult to find any REAL surplus these days, everything is poor quality chinese knock-offs. I got a nice selection of styles, with two wood handles, and the rest plastic, but the plastic seems to be of good quality. They're not super sharp, I will touch up the blades, but machetes usually aren't super sharp, since you are hacking with them a thin edge wouldn't hold up anyway. I live in the desert, and I'm always trimming cactus and other prickly plants. These are perfect for that, snips just don't make it. I may buy another set to give as gifts.

Of the five machetes, four looked like possible Columbian military surplus, the fifth was made by Truper. The four surplus ones are actually fairly nice with good wooden handles. My only complaint is that these have zero edge, it's more of a bevel. It will take you days to sharpen these with a stone or some such. I'm going to have to pay someone to grind these down before I can actually use them. If you don't have access to a grinder, you might want to look at something else. Judging by how difficult they are to sharpen, it seems to be decent steel. And I think they will be just fine once they are sharpened. It's still a good buy. Just know you're gonna have to work for these

Very nice for the price. I just wanted them to cut small trees down. I ordered a 2nd set for my son. If I had to say a con the handles need some work. I put a wrap on my handles for grip. Over all great look and price

Nice for the money! I took one star because I only received four blades. They did refund what the cost of one would have been but I would rather have the the fifth blade. They all need sharpening.

Fantastic group of machetes! Well made and perfect
