Question: Where is the point of balance of this machete?
Document: The balance point is nearly a fourth of the way up the blade from the handle. Good for heavy chopping and strikes. If you want something with finesse, this is not it. All in all, I highly recommend. This is as much sword as it is machete. Only reason I gave it four stars is because of the extremely late arrival with shipping.
I suppose this balance point is to increase the chopping power.The Bad-Cold Steel usually had pretty good factory edges but when I got mine in it had one of the fattest burrs I've ever seen in my life. It did come off with a little work from my sharpening stone so its not really too bad but I think it was worth mentioning. This is actually the only really bad thing I have to say about it. *Edit (10/10/13)After using this machete some more around the yard and whatnot I find that its hard to do repetitive swings with it.
Many a blackberry bush gave its life in defense of its young on that day.First Impressions:The point of balance on the cutlass is at around a third of the blade up from the guard, so it's quite top-heavy. The machete feels heavy in general as well. I would not consider this a sword-the Cold Steel Cutlass Machete is definitely a machete. It does one thing well, and that's chop. I was not impressed with the look of the weapon. It's ugly as sin.Comparisons:Now, to take on the brigade of evil blackberry brigands, I had several other tools with me to compare to the CS Cutlass Machete.
I haven't tried using it to baton wood or anything heavy duty like that because I don't think its really suited to tasks like that due to length.The Okay-Sheath is okay. The tip of it is reinforced with some hard plastic. The weird thing about it is that the plastic bits at the bottom only sandwich the nylon part of the sheath, its not like a cap which I imagine would lend more reinforcement. The material of the sheath is overall a fairly good quality. Like someone else said, the sheath is not curved like the image seems to portray, its straight, if that bothers you at all; I really don't mind.-The balance of the thing is kind of funny because the balance point is a bit far from my handle for my liking but I don't own many long machetes so maybe its just my preference.
The blade is long and you know that you have a piece of steel in your hand. My only complaint if you want to call it that is that the grip is a little slick for my taste so I will either rough it up a little or wrap it to fix that. The fricking label WAS on the blade. I always hate that BUT the WD-40 trick worked like a charm.It is what it is with no pretensions. They may call it a machete but it's balance and feel say it is a cutlass.
I had an old $10 machete I bought at a flea market ten years ago, a cheap Gerber machete, an ancient single-bitted axe for use on the biggest branches and a small hatchet. So I was able to see how the Cutlass stacked up against other machetes and hacking tools.As I said, this machete is top-heavy. I would definitely say it feels sturdy, however. With the balance so far forward, using it was much more tiring than my two cheaper machetes. I was also surprised with its cutting power.
So it's no big deal. Could have been a big deal though, so just be cautious.) But, anyways, I pulled the sword out and from first sight you can tell this thing is a SOLID! tool. Very well built, sleek, great handle, great machete balance, a couple inches up from the handle, and VERY sharp out of the box. The sheath is nice, functional, holds the blade tight. I was thrilled to say the least... So I went out and did some yard work (after a 10 hour work day in construction) that's how eager I was to try this thing...  Well I trimmed the headges all around my house and hacked away at a massive amount of Kudzu vines, which have takin over a lot of yards in my neighborhood.
The Cold Steel Cutlass Machete is a very impressive cutter. It is more than a machete in that it has a steel reinforced hand guard and is thicker than most machetes you find in this price range. It is a little less than a sword in that it isn't as thick as an average "sword" would be, nor is it made of the same steel as one. I sharpened the back of the clip point to aid in cutting on the return swing but that is just my preference; it is fine without that.
The machete has a nice heft, is thick and feels great to swing. Came extremely sharp. Was disappointed with the black finish though. Came with some scratches and nicks to the finish. Tried oiling the blade with some RemOil and discovered the paint was coming off to a degree on the rag. At this point I said screw it and went out to home depot and bought a can of paint stripper. Nasty, strong stuff (use well ventilated and with rubber gloves, it will irriate/burn your skin!)
This thing is fun! What can I say about it.. Well, the blade is definitely longer than most machetes I already own, this makes it handle a bit differently than your 13inch Kukri machete, or the 18 inch Bowie machete. It isn't compact for hiking or anything like that, but it would be fun to tear through unwanted overgrowth in the backyard. Remember to sharpen the blade a bit, and don't forget the oil. This is the 1055 carbon steel, it can rust.At one point a bought a couple of coconuts at the store and took one outside to test the blade out.
Answer: yes
