Bought this for protection. It feels nice in the hand. Like the saw back. The price was great for what i need. I feel like the blade is pretty thin. So Im going to keep it and Im glad I have one cant beat the price but I wouldn't buy again Id spend a little more.Updated 10/26/17 to 4 Stars used it in the backyard cutting branches of firewood . Worked great. Still feels the blade it a little weak but for the price its AWESOME

First it's sharp, sturdy, handle is fine but could be more comfortable. Fair weight for what it is. Short but useful for small projects while hiking, etc.But come on, SOG - the sheath is ridiculous. Difficult to get the blade in and out of it. the velcro should wrap around the end of the handle also to keep it from sliding up - right now it just slides up and the sharp blade stops it from sliding more. would be so easy to make the velcro strap just a bit longer and hold it down. It helped to…

I purchased this after borrowing a slightly longer Sogfari machete from a neighbor. The serrated end is great for cutting through roots. My husband uses the smooth end to clear small areas of brush and gave that function a thumbs up too!

Amazingly good quality and heft for the price. Bought one as a gift, and just couldn't resist buying one for myself even though I am not planning a jungle visit for a while : )

Great quality, blade feels great, it is sturdy and looks like it can take some hard work. Weight feels perfect too. The sheath is good for the price. Bought it principally because of the size, so I can put it easily inside a backpack for certain outdoor purposes. If any complaint I will update my review.

Not very good for brush because it's a chopper. Almost fully functional as a long machete in that respect. The blade may not be suitable for carving.

My brother in-law bought me a Sogfari Machete for my birthday last year. It's great and all, but sometimes I need to move quickly you know? If I'm scavenging for supplies in an unknown town, I don't need to be weighed down with a giant machete. Enter the SOG Machete 10 inch Knife. It's got plenty of heft to take out a couple zombies outside the pharmacy, and it doesn't weigh me down on my sprint back to base camp. Win.

It's nice and the price is reasonable, the handle is a bit awkward and it's not the most balanced tool but you can make it work

I like this better than the Gerber Gator Combo BackPack Axe I bought. Now I just leave that axe in the truck. For me in SoCal this is a much more useful tool that the camp axe. Check YouTube. This thing can chop thru a modestly thick branch (2+ inch) by using alternating 45 degree chops pointed inward at each other towards a central plane. This weighs a bit less too! 1 Lbs with the Sheath on.

I am very pleased with all of my SOG blades. I give 4 stars only because i prefer the feel of my SOG Kukri, not because there is anything wrong with this blade. In my honest opinion, regarding any negative reviews, some people may not understand the use of specific blades and are not using them properly. Before you give any item a bad review, perhaps you could put a little effort into ensuring that you are using said item the way it was intended. Thank you!

Actually purchased this machete to remove some bushes from my backyard. It was put through it paces over two day of major yard work and still held an edge. Definitely worth the money.

This is an excellent well made and balanced 10 inch machete. I've used it to hack away 1 inch diameter tree limbs , arms off of cactus, and to clear away weeds and small bushes. Saw back works but is not my first choice to saw away tree limbs. The machete held up very well and only needed moderate sharpening after the job was done. Made from 3Cr13 stainless steel in a Tanto saw back blade design with full tang which extends out through the base of the handle into a saw tooth pommel, which may…

Love these knives! Versatile, intimidating, lightweight, comfortable to handle, and inexpensive. After receiving the first one, I immediately ordered three more. I keep one in every vehicle and in the house. As you can probably guess, I didn't get them for clearing fields, and I wouldn't recommend them for that purpose. They don't have the length or weight to serve the brush-clearing role of a traditional machete, so use the saw side if you need to cut down a tree. ;)

SOGfari is a great buy. Used in Smokey mountains hiking and batoning wood. Woods as a tree chopper, wood splitter, and a machete. I chopped several trees down, split 50+ logs in half, and made lots of shavings from the wood to start the fires. It still has an edge that’s not shaving sharp, but will easily cut skin if ran across blade with no pressure. I really beat this tool up. I was impressed.

great knife, quite sharp out of the box, It penetrated about 3/4-1" into the short side of a 2x4 with minimal effort for short strike(no wind up). the sheath is lacking(but adequate) expected that for the price. Nice balance, little blade heavy, expected from a machete, but it prob helps with the cutting action.

It is an OK play machete for looks but no practical use I bought it to replace a machete I used to cut small branch's around my property but this one is no good for that kind of stuff more of a weapon or for looks.

Extremely sharp for a machete! Small but very effective on tree clinging vines. High quality with a nice sheath. Very versatile.

I would say that this is a nice machete. It's the right size that you can use it for a lot more things then just a machete. The handle is rubber and the holes on the image are big enough to rap paracord around it. Overall very pleased and I think you will be too.

This is the knife that makes me want to throw all my other survival blades away. Strong quality, full tang, heavy enough for chop and hacking and sharp as hell. Its basically a mini machete. My only gripe is the scabbard could have been designed better. It tends to stick a little when sheathing and unsheathing.

Got this at a good price due to limited supply, down to $16 from the usual $25-$30 price range. (FYI, you can find this at Dicks for around $24 usually). Good compact size, sheath seems nice, tested great on sharpness right out of the box. A++
