Customers are mixed about the sharpness of the sword. Some mention that it comes sharp, it sharpens easily with a bastard file or canoe stone, and it cuts really well. However, others say that it didn't come sharp, was not sharpened up to the tip, and was quite dull when they first got it.

"...Can't wait to take it out into the woods.Came nice and sharp but has to be honed.Very sturdy tool at a great price...." Read more

"...Not a huge deal… you could use a file as well. Anyway, it cuts really well especially with the wider front...." Read more

"...This bolo makes quick, easy work out of vegetation up to branches around 1-1.5” and although sub-optimal, will work on things as soft as grasses...." Read more

"...minutes to touch up the edge with the Lansky puck now and she is dangerously sharp, so a sheath of some kind is essential." Read more

"...The handle is still tight. Great for such a cheap tool." Read more

"You'll need to shape the edge up on it, but it has a lot of value. Untold numbers of them working across the jungles everyday...." Read more

25 customers mention23 positive2 negative

Customers like the weight of the sword. They mention it's nicely weighted, with a forward heavy, and choppy blade. The tool is light enough not to fatigue them, and has good weight distribution. Some say it'll work for light duty and is easy to carry in a back pack.

"...The Bolo style machete gives you a little extra weight at the end of the blade, which really helps when chopping the woody type of brush I have here..." Read more

"...I really enjoy balance between reach and compactness and the forward heavy, “choppy” blade. The blade is easy to sharpen yet holds an edge decently...." Read more

"...The bolo design makes these a surprisingly good chopper. The light weight means they are fast enough for light brush...." Read more

"Nice weight and heft with that bulge at the end of the blade that gives a short Machete a little more go power...." Read more

12 customers mention12 positive0 negative

"...Weight, balance, speed is perfect for chopping small wood and clearing bushes. Buy one, you won't regret" Read more

"...The blade is nicely balanced and the relatively short length seems to concentrate the force of a swing...." Read more

33 customers mention22 positive11 negative

Customers are mixed about the fit of the sword. Some mention that it's really comfy for their hands, easy to hold onto, and has good ergonomics. However, others say that it is too small and thin. The tang is full length but not full width of the handle, and the sword will not fit in a standard sheath. The wood handle is big and blocky.

"...which didn't take longer than 10 minutes, and now I find it effortlessly comfortable!..." Read more

"...So 10/10The wood handle is big and blocky also meant to be finished but it is nice wood and well made.So the answer to the question...." Read more

13 customers mention4 positive9 negative

Customers are mixed about the thickness of the bolo machete. Some mention that it's thick, sharp, and has a good handle, while others say that it could be thicker and the steel is weak.

"...When it came to me, it had a thin clear poly coating on it from the factory, and a sticker on the blade...." Read more

"...I didn't think it would bite so deep, as it is a pretty thin blade, but the shape seems to help it out some...." Read more

"The blade is thin and will slice through stuff easily. I used this machete extensively this summer and the blade handled it all...." Read more

"...The blade could be thicker though." Read more

15 customers mention3 positive12 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the edge of the sword. They mention that it comes completely blunted, unevenly ground, and unfinished. Some say that the tip is completely flat and square.

"...all the way to the handle, scratches all over the blade, and there isn't even an edge on the belly of the tip edge..." Read more

"...The handle had a bunch of splinters in it when I got it. I sanded it down for about 30 seconds and then it was fine though...." Read more

"Gave it 3 stars because the edge came COMPLETELY blunted, I knew I was gonna have to sharpen it but I didn't know I was going to have to basically..." Read more

"...This is a workhorse, not a show piece. It does what it has to, keeps an edge, and you can't ask for a better price...." Read more

This is a serious tool that will last a lifetime with the right care!
Tramontina machetes are one of the classics for a reason, they are extremely popular all over the world!This 14" Bolo style Tramontina machete with 1070 carbon steel and a hardwood handle, lives up to the hype. Listen guys, it's going to be a little on the rough and unfinished side when you get it, but don't despair! That's actually quite a fine thing, because these tools are meant to be finished to the owners' specifications and needs.The Bolo style machete gives you a little extra weight at the end of the blade, which really helps when chopping the woody type of brush I have here in the northeast of the US. I also have a 12" and a 14" Latin style machete from them, all are great, but this 14" Bolo is my favorite for chopping through thick woody vines and small saplings and getting really close to the ground, she takes a beating and keeps her composure!!! If you're debating between the Bolo and Latin style just get both and try them out because I think they both have pros and cons!I received this machete really fast and I am very pleased with the quality! When it came to me, it had a thin clear poly coating on it from the factory, and a sticker on the blade. I removed the sticker with some blade oil, and spent some intimate time with a bastard file and a Lansky puck to put a hair-shaving edge on her. I plan to remove the poly on the blade at some point with some steel wool and acetone, and then do a force patina on it, but I am in no rush yet! Just some ideas on how you can personalize her! :)The tip will come to you unground, so if you want to put a pointy tip on her you're going to need to do that yourself - but I didn't go that far. I sharpened the entire blade up until the last inch on the tip which I left a little thicker so it can withstand chopping and whacking near/into the dirt when cutting up vines and brush.This blade is 1070 carbon steel as mentioned elsewhere on the internet and it's a good, serviceable material for the purpose of the tool. It isn't difficult to sharpen, but it retains an edge respectably well! It's not quite as hard as Imacasa machete steel, if you are comparing the two brands (they use 1075 I believe)The wooden handle on this machete comes pretty rough and blocky, which is on purpose so you can carve or sand it to your preferred grip. I am a lady with medium sized hands and I shaved off and sanded the handle right away, which didn't take longer than 10 minutes, and now I find it effortlessly comfortable!It only took me the first day I had this tool to fine tune it to my needs and it's been great since!I have been using this machete to chop out invasive plants in my garden and other such yardwork, and I find it a joy to swing and chop through the brush with this baby! I could do it all day, one of the benefits of this shorter 14" length is that the tool is light enough not to fatigue you, also the geometry of the blade allows the heavy front end to chop without any extra effort. She goes through thick brush like it's butter!I paired this machete with the Marbles 14" bolo style sheath, which is serviceable for now. It only takes me a couple minutes to touch up the edge with the Lansky puck now and she is dangerously sharp, so a sheath of some kind is essential.
