Warivo Handmade D2 Kukri Machete Knife with Leather Sheath - Fixed Full Tang Steel Blade Machete for Cutting Trees Heavy Duty for Clearing Brush, Yard Work, Gardening, Camping and Hiking

I’m more than happy with this one. The sheath strap was high for my liking. So I modified the sheath and I understood why it came with an extra snap instantly. I was not expecting the sheath to be usable. Shoot, after treating the leather and lowering the strap, I couldn’t be happier. For the blade itself, after hitting it with the strop the thing is as sharp can be. The handle needs smoothing out but elbow grease is to be expected at this price. The snaps say the state of Oklahoma on them? Overall excellent.

Great for chopping

This is a finely crafted knife. I am a collector also and this my first Kuri knife. I tred out the sharpness on paper and was impressed. I got the knife tha has an enclosed handle which is nicely made. The steel seems fine and is sharp. The sheath with this model has a good lock up situation with the snap in the proper location. I have been looking at thses knives all over the industry and this company appears to be about the best value for the buck. I am oversll pleased with the knife and can recommend it for purchase

The only thing about this that's like a Kukri is the shape, I have 3 15" Kukri from Nepal that I've bought over the years and there are some differences.• This is claimed to be hand-made but I have my doubts. The fit and finish it too good. The box it comes in, however, does appear to be handmade.• It is too light to be practical for much serious bushwhacking. It only weighs about 13 oz. compared to the 26 oz. of my other Kukris. For around the yard work, it may be fine.• It's claimed to be D2 steel. With no markings, that would be hard to verify.• The blade is about ½ the thickness of my Kukris, about 1/8", and I wouldn't feel comfortable on doing some serious hacking.• The handle looks nice but I have a feeling it would get slippery when wet so keep that in mind.Not that this is a bad knife but it wasn't right for me so I sent it back. I did pick up another similar knife from, what appears to be the same knife-maker (same packaging and sheath) that will ride with me in the car. It's a few ounces heavier but still not what I'd bring camping. The handle does get slick when wet so I wrapped it with some skateboard tape. As for the D2 steel in these knives, I was not impressed with the edge retention but maybe I'm rougher on knives than some other may be. YMMV

bought this for gardening, yeah its over the top, but i am a knife guy and we go for metal over praticality any day. i cant be sure its D2, but i feels like it, still sharp and no rust.

I own all kinds of knives, from pocket to hunting knives and pretty much everything else in between. The very first Kukri I purchased was pretty much a paperweight, it wouldn't hold an edge, it was more decoration than anything else. For that reason, it still sits in a box with all the other forgotten knives. This Kukri is by far not that knife. So, when the box comes in, please don't judge the knife just yet. I saw the plain brown cardboard box and instantly went back years to my previous experience. Anyway, I opened the box, there was cheesy plastic wrapping over everything, my thoughts are fading again but I kept going. Finally, with all the plastic gone I got down to the knife and sheath (talk about it shortly), pulled the knife from the sheath and the sky opened, lights shined, and angels began singing (OK, not really, but you get the idea), here was the Kukri I have always been waiting for. The first thing you will notice is the fit and finish of the full Tang and Pakkawod Handle combo. Then as the blade is pulled from the sheath it only gets better, absolute beautiful work. All the grind lines are straight and parallel, this is something you would expect from a Master Bladesmith. The edge is SHARP, and polished, which allows for smooth, snag free cuts. For the size of the knife, you would think heavy, not here. For a blade length of almost 9", this knife is very well balanced, you could swing this thing all day long and your wrists will be fine. I have a medium sized hand that fits the handle well with a little room to spare before the swell at the end. Extra-large hands my not do so well here but don't let that stop you from trying it out. On the heel of the knife there is a loop for a strap or tether which is pointed so it can be used as a "glass breaker" in an emergency. Now the sheath. Yes, it is leather, it does have nice stamp work and stain on it which gives it an "old school" look to it. The stitching is done by hand, not a machine, but the fit and finish here could be refined a bit more based on the quality of the knife construction. Regardless, this IS a knife worth owning, and KUDOS to the craftsman that worked so hard to create it. Enjoy and don't cut any fingers off.

The steel is thick and pretty tough. Some of the reviews had me worried but I decided to get 1 anyway and I wasn't disappointed. Great working knife. Chops very well. The weight is where its supposed to be. Retains the edge well. Feels very nice in the hand. Fits great. Not made for small hands. Definitely worth the money

Blade came nice and sharp. Good weight and handle was the best part with being comfortable with the heft of the blade. Only issues which are big for me is the sheath is breaking at the leather stamping around the edge and is incredibly thin for a knife sheath. Also the blade is noticeably bent to the right when in hand. Would have given 2 1/2 stars cause this is posted as a handmade blade not a stamp and ship. Only redemption for this knife is the handle, Feels solid with no play and fits perfectly in my hand. Don't hate the knife but don't love it either. Gonna keep for camping but I'm afraid to trying with any other outdoor activities. (Edit: dropped down to 1 star cause I finally used it and the metal the blade is made from is too soft. Used the spine on spark rod and the spin had dents and gouges)
