BYXKIFISH BYX Co Kingfisher Machete

How often do you get more than you paid for? This, dare I say sword, is one of those times. OK, the badish... The handle is comically big, and the trigger grip part, while good in the thrust, is annoying. The wooden handle is OK, and between the two I bought, fairly consistent. Parts of it are a little sharp, but easily tamed with some sand paper. Now for the good. The balance is crazy good. It handles well in the hand. The weird shape is likely the result of wanting a distal taper, but being limited in the pseudo-machete form. Thick blade in the back, thin out front will do the trick. I haven't cut with it, but I look forward to it. On, on that, it comes dull. Condor, who I hear makes these, has done of the sharpest blades from a factory I have ever purchased. This is not one of those blades. I'm guessing it's cuz it's not theirs. This isn't a bad thing, however. It'll let tinkerers like me mess with sharpening it my self. The integral guard and... Sword catcher?... Are suitable, and likely further aid to the balance. This sword / machete does what is designed to do perfectly.

You get what you pay for and then some with this. Granted, you will not get a cover or scabbard for the price and the design overall is very roughly finished. But if you need a sword that will take a beating and is a good weight with solid edge, you won't beat this price point

This Sword/Machete its....Frickin Insanely good, as a tool it works phenomenally in getting rid of brush, the long blade length and balance and weight make it exceptionally good at removing high limbs, and takes out the need for having a heavy saw zaw when your high in a tree affecting your balance, now as a sword, it works also insanely well, this blade can cut through virtually anything save for plate armor and the nice double edge half point makes this thing crazy good for thrust, literally the blade wants to thrust lol (i literatally plunged this thing through a dart board with very little effort lol)when its in your hand, very lively feeling blade, the 2 drawbacks now, it doesnt come with a sheath however i made one for it outta leather, took about2 hours, and the blade comes fairly dull however it sharpens up very easily and once its sharpened look the heck out, this thing is a beast of a sword and is practically a messer only wider, perhaps a breites Messer would be a better term, but overall this thing gets a 5 outta 5 and i plan on buying a few more of these

This is a very cool looking machete, it slices very well, is balanced really well, and comes as sharp as you would expect a machete to come. Touchup of the edge was very easy, and it takes a keen edge with very minimal effort, handle scales are not a perfect fit but are way more than sufficient and a 100% functional. Overall this is a great machete, with more than enough cool points to spare.

Very pleased with the Kingfisher.
