Kris Cutlery Combat Barong Heavy Machete Review
Published: 12 years ago
Best in 720HD
Blade Length: 14.5 inches
Type: Traditional leaf shaped barong
Steel: High Carbon
Weight: 1 pound 4 ounces
Handle: Hardwood with cord wrap
Sheath: Wood
Made In: Phillipines
Price: $130
This is an extremely heavy duty machete, more like a short sword. It does not flex. It is very well-balanced, but still allows for powerful chops. The traditional handle shape gives an excellent grip. The tang did not loosen in the handle at all, despite repeated hard chops into dense wood. The edge was very durable, it did not chip or dent. The tip is very strong and was not hurt by jamming it into hard wood.
