Cold Steel CS-97TKMS: Tactical Katana Machete / 36.25" Overall / 24" Blade / 2.8Mm Thick

This is not a toy. Novelty, maybe. Testament that there’s a distinct possibility people should not consume alcoholic beverages and look around on Amazon, yes! But, there’s a little bit of an out for the next morning when you’re trying to have your coffee in peace and your spouse is like, “did you buy a sword. On Amazon?” “Mmmmmm, I bought a machete.” Good idea Coldsteel. See, sadly in modern society there’s not much of a need for swords. And think about how much of a ripoff that is from your childhood. Ninjas had swords. Knights had swords. Never heard any ninjas or nights complaining about taxes or the price of a gallon of gas (but I digress). By calling this a machete, Coldsteel has given a reasonable and articulable argument for every man to be able to own one. Overgrown bushes in the yard? Trim that with a machete. Gonna go down to the river to do a little fishing? Don’t forget the machete to cut the brush out the way at the shore. Yes, Coldsteel may very well have cleverly given an opening to a new era of people carrying around swords and we’d all be a little better for it. Quick delivery. Would buy from this seller again.

Bought as a birthday gift to myself. Always wanted a sword. Received with on a small nick on the top side of the blade. Was not very sharp out of the box but that was fixed quickly with a 2 grit sharpener. It took an extremely sharp edge well. The grip is unique and will suite the sword well especially if wrapped. Overall happy with the purchase.

I recieved this item by mistake, instead of a ceramic pocket knife and some jerky. I am still waiting on my items, but as a bladesmith, I can say this: it would kill someone if ya stabbed 'em with it, which is all you can as from something so cheaply made.

Better than I expected and super sharp. Recommend

Great product. Machete was in the factory packaging and extremely sharp. Shipping was very slow, slower in fact than any product I have ever gotten. I almost canceled the sale and bought from the manufacturer Cold Steel. Don't blame that on Cold Steel but the insane shipping system. Cold Steel products are some of the most dependable, sharpest, most proven overall on the market!

I seen peeps sayin its not sharp. They must have taken note of that because mine is very sharp

The media could not be loaded. It's really cool. It's more than I expected. Definitely the weight. And the sharpness. It's plenty of sharp for out of the box

comes very sharp out of the box, looks awesome, good value and seems sturdy. however the grip is not very good as it can be quite uncomfortable while swinging
