Tools and Hardware Reviews of SOG Specialty Knives and Tools MC-02 18-Inch SOGfari Machete
Customer Review: Great Buy
Summary: 4 Stars
First impression. Arrived in a sealed clear plastic case showing both the machete and case. I was a little disappointed with how sharp the blade was. It had a edge but I expected better from SOG. It was easily corrected with a few quick passes of my knife sharpener. I tested out the saw back edge and found it to be effective but I was able to make it better with my dremel. This would probly not be necessary for most but afterward it cut with ease. The handel has convient holes for a lanyard. I made mine out of some 550 para cord easily purchased from a surplus store. The case has a nice nylon strap edging that is double stiched on all the seams. I had a few problems with extracting the blade from the case because of the extra reinforment around the case opening. The saw edge would catch on the nylon. So I trimmed it back and melted the nylon with a lighter to keep it from fraying. I also added two water drain holes at the bottom with a soldering iron. My only real disappointment with the case is that the upper end of the sheathing covers up 2/3rds of the handle. So when you go to extract the blade you have to pull with your pinkie and ring fingers or else you are also grabbing the case.
Field use. Spent 6 hours cutting thick wild briers and pine branches. The handle offers a good grip that offered a firm purchase even with dirty sweaty hands. It was easy to use without being overly tiring to swing. With the resharpened blade it would easily slice throught 3 inch pine limbs with one swing. Blade held it edge and remained straight even with my less than perfact strikes. The finish also held up very well and cleaned easily afterward. I did not have any issues with the pommel striker getting in the way.
Overall it is a excellent purchase for the money. I would most definatly recommend purchasing and I might even buy a second just to have. The only real issue that is not easily corrected is the sheath covering up most of the handle.
