Review: Comes super dull, but worth the sharpening - Cuts through 1in. sassafras in 1 or 2 blows, clears everything else. Recommend a 30 degree edge for durability. Review: The big’n - This is a nice machete. I bought it because it’s super long and I wanted to be ridiculous, but it is really great quality. I might trim down the scales a bit to make it fit my hand better. Very good machete especially for the price. ## Features - 28" (71cm) actual blade length - 2.25mm thick carbon steel blade is strong and durable (45-52 HRC) - 5" (127mm) handle is made of solid beech wood - Turn-back grip for better gripping power - Ideal for cutting green vegetation and as an all-purpose utility tool ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07J6S53GG | | Best Sellers Rank | #387,113 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #226 in Gardening Machetes | | Blade Length | 28 Inches | | Blade Material | Carbon Steel | | Brand | BOTARO | | Customer Reviews | 3.4 3.4 out of 5 stars (20) | | Hand Orientation | Left | | Handle Material | Beech,Steel,Wood,Wood Handle | | Style | Leather | | UPC | 816255024926 | ## Product Details - **Blade Length:** 28 Inches - **Blade Material:** Carbon Steel - **Brand:** BOTARO - **Handle Material:** Beech,Steel,Wood,Wood Handle - **Style:** Leather ## Images ![17-CROC28-W 28" Martindale Machete Wood Handle, with Leather Sheath - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51xMXKOO9tL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comes super dull, but worth the sharpening *by H***Z on March 18, 2021* Cuts through 1in. sassafras in 1 or 2 blows, clears everything else. Recommend a 30 degree edge for durability. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The big’n *by J***N on March 24, 2021* This is a nice machete. I bought it because it’s super long and I wanted to be ridiculous, but it is really great quality. I might trim down the scales a bit to make it fit my hand better. Very good machete especially for the price. ### ⭐⭐ Would of been my new favorate machete if it didnt deflect off the dry thicker stuff an BEND *by J***N on April 3, 2023* I was in search of a long machete, 28 inch blade is the top of the line I really cant find longer, Real length is 27 and 1/4th inches BTW I measures it .75 off, To me personally that gives me even a bigger reason to go with the SITEPRO Brand machete its 24 inches I measured it and its exact so this one is only 3 and 1/4th inches longer than the sitepro but the price is 61 usd with tax sitepro coming to 39 with tax. That said I wanted it reliable an durable, It came in a bit bent to the left side an with normal use out brush clearing the issue had gotten worse, The handle comes blocky as usual with this price range you sand it down to your liking I sanded mine down quiet a bit and used some wilson grip wraps, The edge will require a bit of belt sanding work/ You can do it with a file but it will take awhile, I had tested it on a few live limbs, Drying/dead limbs as summer is coming an in the pnw the heat strokes where bad the last couple summers so stuff starts to dry up, That said I dont want to have to worry about my blade bending if it deflects off due to the steel profile an it being able to bend way to much for a machete, When you strike down with force it could deflect into another derection causing you to strike whatever you are striking with the side of the machete an that quick deflection, strike will cause a bad bend, So folks this one is a no go I opted for the SITEPRO 24 INCH BLADE machete with seath for only $39 with tax to the door, and that one is a winner came straight an going thru bush is maintained true going thru thicker stuff, Will be posting a review on that one. Quick recap/ Summary dont get this machete the the steel they use for this has way to much bend. ## Frequently Bought Together - BOTARO 17-CROC28-W 28" Martindale Machete Wood Handle, with Leather Sheath - 360 Degree Prism, Total Station Prism, 360 Degree Universal Prism Lens Triangular Glass Prism for Surveying Ranging, Total Station Surveying Equipment - Cordless Power Drill Set, 21V Electric Drill Driver Kit with Battery and Fast Charger, 2 Variable Speed Control, 3/8-Inch Keyless Chuck and 24+1 Torque Setting with LED Light for Metal Surfaces,Wood --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/89308221-17-croc28-w-28-martindale-machete-wood-handle-with-leather](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/89308221-17-croc28-w-28-martindale-machete-wood-handle-with-leather) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
