Disappointed
The machete is very nice looking, felt good in the hand and had a very nice sheath to keep it in. But the first day I used it, it snapped in half after about 5 minutes. I suppose for the price point you can't complain, but I am disappointed that I did'nt get more use out of it. I will look into warranty now and perhaps this one just had a flaw. I will update if anything noteworthy happens.UPDATE- I'm changing my rating to 4 stars for now. Amazon couldn't do anything for me because it had been more than 30 days from purchase. But they did direct me to contact SOG which I did. Within minutes of sending them an email they responded and said they would send me a replacement. WOW! Great customer service. If the new machete performs I will change my rating to 5 stars.
