MACHETES FAQS
- Where did the machete come from?
Broad-bladed, heavy fixed blade knives have been used in cultures all over the world for thousands of years. Today’s machetes have their beginnings in ancient Greek kopis, the falchion of the Medieval Ages and the dao of Chinese tradition. - What’s a machete used for?
A machete acts as both a knife and an axe, making it one of the most versatile knives you can own. Whether you have a chopping task or a cutting task, the machete will take care of it in no time at all. - What are the characteristics of a machete?
Although machetes have as many different designs as there are cultures in the world, the basic characteristics are the same. They have a wide, full-tang blade with handle scales attached to a tang and they’re from 12” to 18” in overall length. - What should I look for when shopping for a machete?
The most important thing to look for in a machete is what shape of blade will best suit your needs. Different blade profiles are better for specific tasks like cutting and slicing or chopping and hacking. - What’s the best kind of handle for a machete?
You’ll find machetes with both wooden and plastic handles, and both are fine. The most important thing to consider is how much of a slip-free grip does the handle provide. Look for textured and grooved grips.

Just arrived and I love it. Had it engraved which looks fantastic. The handle gives superb grip with the balance of the blade. It's rather sharp out of the box but it could stand to use more for razor sharpness. I got mine on a $10 deal but it's still worth every penny at regular price. If this is your type of knife you must buy one.

Review of: Combat Commander Thrax Gladius / Gladiator Sword
- Roddy
I once reviewed this knife about four years ago (the review is still there). I still have the same one I bought. Since I bought it, I've put it through some tough work, which was what I wanted it for. Guys, I can still shave the hair on my arms with it, yet it hacks into just about anything I do with it. When I need something to pair with the chainsaw for clearing and downing trees, I have this knife there. It's been four years and I still turn to this knife when I need something of this heft. It is simply fantastic.
Review of: Gil Hibben IV Combat Machete Knife
- Paul
Even though this is nominally a machete, it is in fact a far better sword than anything else in it's class. It is better made and more comfortable to use than the other well known gladius made by that other famous discount sword/knife company. It is a better sword than any of the other 'real' swords I own that are 8 times the price of this one. The 1065 steel holds a better edge, and the blade is resilient, but not whippy. Everything is straight and solid. If you are on the fence about this, know that for the money, you will be getting a sword/machete far exceeding the small investment you are making.
