garry johnson: More a big Knife than a Machete but a really nice Knife all the same. Strongly made and finished with good balance and swing and very flexible in its use. Chop, cut and baton all in one Knife. Although other reviewers weren't too happy with the sheath i thought it was okay. Does the job. Because of its size it wont take the place of my Tramontina for general work around the property so will probably land up chopping meat and vegetables. Quartered a large pumpkin beautifully. Yeah this is a real neat Knife perfect for someone with a small property or bush walking as the one Knife can do everything you need. Very happy with my Gerber Versafix.

Morgan coston: Had to sharpen it when it got it but wow. Small enough to cut your steak with. Chops small soft wood trees down with ease. For a super long hike where every pound matters I'll take this over a hatchet . It can serve multiple purposes.

Kenneth Hall: Careful when taking it out of the packaging, it is very sharp as I found out to my cost. A very slight brush against my thumb as I eased it from its packaging caused me grief which needed a dressing.. I used it immediately to chop up dried bamboo for composting, it did the job well.

MissourianMissourian: First day out of the box...

Sheath is junk. I'm sure most of you expected that. I did too. Ballistic nylon is just to give you something to put it in.

Steel is 3CR13...which...while nothing to write home about...gets the job done.

Heat treat on the product I received is excellent.

Chopped on some seasoned American Elm and...while it took some doing...it did get it done. Tried to baton the five inch Elm but couldn't. No surprise there. American Elm is all but unsplittable...but the blade didn't break, chip or take a permanent bend even though the cross grain of the Elm did stress the blade out of shape it snapped right back after it was removed. I would not have attempted this with the Pro.

The "baton gimping" is pretty worthless on a six inch round as it disappears onto the round almost immediately.

If batoning big rounds is important to you, this is not for you. The tip profile all but guarantees your batoning mallet is going to glance right off on anything over four inches.

Two, three and four inch stuff it sings right through. It would likely do five inch splittable wood well too.

Personally, I've never batoned a piece of...

Amazon Customer: A good bush knife, could be a bit heavier. It did chop 1.5” dia. Brush with ease and sharpened easily. Good quality.

Katrina: A nice weight not too heavy but not too light, nice grippy handle, durable, good for hacking all the things

Jason R.: Bought this just to baton firewood while camping. Because of the price I figured that if it didn't work it won't be a big loss. And I definitely wasn't expecting much. But, once I start chopping up wood for the fire I was very surprised. This knife made quick work of the wood and in no time I had the kindling for the bonfire. The only downside is that it's made in china

Heiland Hoff: I don't expect to use my longer machetes again. This one chops just as well, due to forward-heavy design, and it is much easier to lug around on my belt all day.

vnoyes96: Probably not the greatest steel, but still a great tool all around. I have used it a lot since I purchased it, and it has done everything I have needed it to. The weight distribution is fantastic so it chops through things as well or better than things twice the size. Some reviews I read mentioned that it is difficult to sharpen, but I disagree. It is obviously different to sharpen, due to the unique blade shape, but really not hard. You will get plenty of practice too because it doesn't hold the greatest edge, but when you get a good edge on it, you can chop, baton, feather stick, etc.
