CAMILLUS CARNIVORE MAXX 2.0 23" Durable 420 Stainless Steel Titanium Bonded Hunting Hiking Camping Survival Machete with Protective Molded Sheath

I've owned 2 of these. The smaller one and the bigger one. For the price, it's a great blade. The sheath is good quality. It comes very sharp and ready to use. It really is a great tool. However, personally, I have since let go of both and moved away from integrated multi tool designs. For example. I would love this machete more without the saw back so that I can just baton the wood I'm chopping. Also, the saw doesn't work like a handsaw/pruning saw would. It's too thick and the tones aren't long/sharp enough to really be efficient. It works more like a wood file. Which sucks on anything wet. It just clogs the teeth. So, it's not great for getting through any large diameter logs as sell defense if you wanted to mutilate and not sever it may be great for that. But the saw back as a functionally efficient tool is subpar at best. The hook is good for grabbing a taller limb to pull down and hack, and the chisel is great for bushcraft. If you want a good machete for machete work, get a machete that is JUST a machete. If you want a bad a** self defense weapon get it, can alsys piont the tip for stabbing. If you want to do camp stuff and bushcraft with an OVERSIZED cumbersome blade, get it. It's a great quality product. However, I would get the tool you need for the specific job and this one as a multi function style doesn't do any one of those jobs efficiently. That's how I'd best describe it. It's a great quality product. For doing blade stuff. It's NOT a good TOOL for actual work. Terrible saw. Ok machete. Ok chisel. And I can use a long branch to grab a branch to chop. So the hook is irrelevant. But yeah, awesome quality product. Feels great in your hand. Is well made. Average functionally at best. Five stars because it is a nice hunk of metal for the price. If you want TOOL(S) get the real deal single one for what you need. Otherwise, efficiency tanks. And for this application, efficiency is key.

Large, well made, saw blade is very sharp. Kydex sheath. This thing is huge.

Excellent craftsmanship and heavy duty.

Excellent blade weight for clearing. the blade back grooves are very dangerous and useless, i had to grind them down. Its a knife and must be sharpened accordingly. Sheath only snaps at one part, the other snap does not reach to close.

As chonky as the machete is, it handles stupidly well...., the sharpness is fine for a machete, a finer grind will just make your edge weaker. Chopped through a ehh 5" diameter branch in like 60 whacks, 30 or so, those were off the mark so pretty damn good. The gut hook I haven't found a use for yet, it chops through the thorn bushes overtaking my back yard like butter. So yay. Things massive, I'm sad I can't just strap it to my backpack and carry it around everywhere. I may buy a smaller one to do just that lol.

This is a very stout machete/knives that works well for palm fron trimming.

Easy to handle, great quality, nice item

So, I like the handle and it has a nice weight. It's not very sharp, but that's easy enough to correct. I have two complaints and the first one is my own fault for not realizing it ahead of time. I thought it would be great to have one tool that chops and saws! It was only when I tried it out that I realized the flaw in this thinking... You can't put any pressure on the back of the saw, because it's a blade. And it's difficult to push on the back of the blade when splitting wood because it's a saw, lol. (It can be done, carefully. There is a small area at the end of the saw side without teeth.) My biggest issue is with the saw. The teeth aren't flared out like a cross cut saw, and the blade side is just as wide as the saw side. So, once you saw about a half inch deep, the blade starts to stick in the kerf. And the deeper you go, the worse it gets. You end up having to saw a little ways and then chop a wedge out, saw some more, chop some more, etc...

Ça c'est du solide! C'est massif et c'est fait pour les gros travaux, ça se sent quand tu la tiens dans ta main!

I have yet to use this, but it is very sharp. Only complaint was that one of the straps needed to stretched a little to fit around the handle. But it's a secondary one so not even necessary.
