*** Pros / Cons ***
+ Quality materials at a very affordable cost
+ Very light, agile blade
+ Cuts extremely well, even tough materials
- Cheap plastic handle with uncomfortable molding lines
*** Verdict ***
This has become one of our favorite blades, with amazing quality for the price. It has been through some serious abuse and has held up remarkably well. As a light saber and bushcraft / survival / camping machete this works very well, and it can be used as a budget sword for practicing edge alignment when cutting light targets.
Really the only thing that drags it down a little is how cheap the handle feels. The polypropylene is perfectly sturdy though, and for the money I'd rather have a high quality blade than a fancy hilt.
Definitely recommended!
