I recently picked up a new machete by Lansky and put it through some testing. This machete came in the wilderness pack which included a nylon sheath, and the dual grit sharpening puck. The blade on this machete is made of 1095 high carbon steel featuring a full tang handle, blade measuring 14 inches long, durable hand guard, tempered blade, ABS handle, and a safety lanyard to put around your wrist just incase your hand lets go. The puck features a course and a medium grit side to it. Use the course side to take out any damaged areas of the blade and then use the medium grit side to bring up a nice sharp finished edge. When not using the machete you have a nice nylon sheath that fits on to most belts. I thought the length of the machete might be a bit long to have hanging down at my side, but found that it did not bother me at all. The saw back on this machete is no gimmick either as it easily sawed through material I put it up against. I was very surprised at the the chopping capabilities of this machete as you will wittiness in the video review. Clearing a path with the Lansky machete was very easy. Grass, brush, larger sticks and branches did not slow this machete down one bit. Over all I would rate this machete 9/10, to get the full 10 I would like to se the production of this machete in North America. I know that any time I go camping or just trekking around the woods I will be taking the Lansky machete with me.
