Schrade Delta Class Decimate Kukri 20.75in with 14.5in 3Cr13 Steel Blade and Non-Slip Grip for Outdoor Survival, Camping, and Bushcraft

If you are in need of an outdoor/camping machete, this is one to have! It is built like a tank, the blade was quite sharp when received, the handle is very comfortable for my large hands & it lessens the shocks when cutting into wood. To me it is more of a very large camp knife than a machete but it sure can perform that duty quite well. If I was lost in the outdoors and this is the only blade that I have, I would not feel too bad, I can make shelter, make spears, clean & dress game & it would be a good protection tool! I have several Schrade products in my collection and all are of great quality & at decent prices to boot! I highly recommend this blade even if the only outdoors you may venture into is your backyard, if needed it will do it's job.

The blade isn’t bad and the weight is fine. I’m returning because I was duped. I looked for an American made machete type knife. I have an old Kabar kukri that I found 15 years ago and wanted something similar as. Shrade used the bait and switch. Says made in America in description but package says made in China. So it’s going back. And Shrade lost a customer. Another bummer was the black coating on the blade as the picture shows a silver unpainted blade. Not what I wanted

I was really skeptical about this blade until I saw PreparedMind101's review of it on YouTube. SO I decided to get one and see for myself. I can always use a good machete, right? And there were lots of good reviews on it, so why not? WOW, am I one HAPPY CAMPER! (Literally). I already have an SCHF9 and then saw the PM101 review of the SCHF42. Both of those blades had blown me away and the fact that they both complimented each other so well for my needs, I thought, "What else could I possibly want if I was stranded and had to build a shelter for myself or my family?" That was when I realized that as good as the F9 and F42 were, they were not the best blades for chopping really thick pieces of wood, for a raft or a substantial, long lasting shelter. But I wanted something not as bulky or heavy as an axe. I was even looking at a Smatchet like Matt Graham carries, but the F9 could already fill that mold for the most part. Then, I get a large box from Amazon much sooner than I expected and inside... This SCHBOLO goes above and beyond what a machete, or hatchet can do and it does it well. The handle feels awesome. Comfortable and grippy with no hot spots. I would have no problem digging out a canoe or bashing tent stakes with the flat of this monster blade. It's big, it's heavy, (but not bulky or difficult to wield) and it's tough. The weight does all the work so it's much better than a typical machete. Perfectly suited to the chopping and slashing I need it for. And SHARP! Keeps an edge very well so far. It sliced paper right out of the box and for some reason, the front part of the blade is magnetic! Great for picking up nails, etc... and then pounding them in with the flat of the blade if I have nothing else at hand. I would have absolutely no problem getting to day 21 on "Naked & Afraid" with this puppy, (but I won't subject you to the horror of that vision.) This is one helluva CHOPPER that's for sure. No vibration, or bending. If you want a machete on steroids, then this is exactly what you need. Now, the sheath... I've seen a lot of bad talk about it and I can't speak for earlier issues of this blade, but mine came not only with the long strap, but it also has two loops on the back that have what I assume are leg straps with quick release buckles. These can also be used to attach to your pack. Also included are the diamond sharpener and Ferro rod. The Ferro rod also now has a 90 degree piece of thick steel attached for scraping sparks and it works great. Yes, the sheath is nylon but it seems to be well made and should last at least long enough for me to get a kydex system made for it. The swivel clips holding the strap onto the sheath will probably fail quickly, but a few loops of paracord should take care of that. It's not the best sheath but it is far from the worst, especially compared with the crappy sheaths you get with machetes. The sharpener and Ferro rod make up for any shortcomings as far as I'm concerned. You can keep the SCHBOLO sharp, cut a bunch of stuff down and then set it on fire to dispose of it in one handy package. Like I said... this blade rocks! WHAT ELSE could you possibly need? I will be adding to this review if anything comes up, so check back down the road. Oh, and I have decided to name her "SCHBOOPIE" as I think another Family Guy fan might have named theirs also. For my hard earned money, Schrade has become THE BEST VALUE under $50 in the survival/woodcraft field today. BUY IT! You will love it! "SCHBOOPIE!"

I was super excited to recieve my Schrade Bolo and at first I was not dissapointed at all. First of all the good. The blade itself is fantastic. It is heavy with a nice thick spine and takes and keeps an edge very well. The grip is superb. I am very happy with the knife itself. It has replaced both my machette and small tomahawk in my camping pack. Now for the bad and the only reason I did not rate it five stars. The sheath the knife came with just misses the mark. It could be great right out of the box, but it wasn't until I made modifications to the sheath. The very first thing that I did was to add a leather belt loop to the sheath. Now I know it is a very large knife, but I needed the option to carry it on my belt encase I don't want to strap it to my pack. That wasn't such a big deal because I knew it didn't come with a belt loop. The major problem that I had, and perhaps it is just a fluke was the fact that about the fourth time I slung the knife over my back, long before I had an opportunity to get it in the woods mind you, the bottom plastic attachment point for the sling broke completely in half. There was no tension on the straps other than the knife itself. I'm just glad it didn't happen out in the bush. I fixed that problem by adding a paracord loop through the attachment point on the bottom of the sheath. As a matter of fact I cut the upper plastic fastener off and added paracord there as well. Other than those two issues the sheath is very good. The pouch that came attached to the sheath with the sharpening stone and ferocium rod is a great plus. I was actually able to fit one of my homemade fire starting "inferno's" in the pouch, plus with some adjustments to the pouches straps i was able to attach a significant amount of paracord as well.

This Machete works just fine for clearing small brush and other heavy tasks in the bush. The factory edge on this 3Cr13 stainless steel blade lasts quite a long time between sharpening. The rubberized handle is very comfortable for chopping and absorbing any shock. The only negative comment that I have for this handle is It's a little soft, so it is not as tough as a TPE or Micarta so the trade off is comfort for durability. Overall, this machete has an attractive design and rugged performance and seems built to last.

Great product

schickes teil,leider recht stumpf und deshalb "nur" 4 sterne,der Diamantschärfer und Firestarter sind auch recht billig,aber funktionieren,die Scheide ist ganz ordentlich

I received a doll black not mirror machete and the bag that contains the diamond sharpening tool and the fire starter flint was not there. The machete looked alike but is not the real one as the handle is different juste look at the pictures. I am mad 😠 I rarely give bad review as i prefer to leave good one to good iteims and ignore the bad one but this one is horrible so i had to warn peoples. Dont buy it unless you dont care for cheep look alike. Mpfff...

Perfect for batonning, chopping and processing firewood for use in a small pack-stove. Arrived quickly, completely satisfied.
