Its a great blade. Used it a few times. The one thing I got to say negative about the jungle master is that the rope likes to come off the handle. So before using it, I would retie it around the handle before use

I have not used this one. I returned it and bought the Condor El Salvador machete. It costs more but the quality is excellent. It is definitely worth the money. Hope this helps.

The Randall RAT 4 is an excellent choice. Similar in price, I think a little less. Currently there is an Ontario version, which is decent, but Randall is the original designer. I also really like the KaBar Becker line. The BK 16 is very close in comparison and cheaper. The Beckers are easier to sharpen, however they have to be cared for to prevent corrosion. And your absolute cheapest, is gonna be a Mora. They can be had for $20ish. Or more depending on quality and sheath options. They are a good cheap blade. But very susceptible to rust. If you have more questions I am happy to answer as best as I can. These arent armchair opinions either. I own or have friends who own, and we use them in the woods.

Condor knife would be my next choice for the price. You can't go wrong with the mora BB. It gives you a sharpener & ferro rod

It's a little short but would rank above a hunting knife but below a regular 20 to 24" machete. The Condor Tool and Knife Parang Machete 17.5-Inch would be better if you wanted the rigid blade a Parang Machete offers, instead of the flimsy machete type choppers. I have guns myself so any knives are for actual work and not zombie killing. I like serviceable, easy to sharpen knives with handles I can repair. There's no telling how long a zombie event will last but I'm assuming we will be in the dark ages at least 2 generations. Bear Grylls will be the first turned, in his hotel room.....don't trust him.

It's good for cutting down medium branches of trees every other weekend. This is not a machete for big ass tree branches or working hard everyday.

mine is pretty tough; the very tip snapped off before i even got it, but that's just going to happen with that kind of point. it really is a budget Gladius though, not a Machete. it is not for chopping at all, it is a penetrator. The bulging to the sides at the end is actually somewhat exaggerated based on mine. I love it, but it is not a pioneer tool.

Trust me the Benchmade is the best EDC you can purchase. It will last longer than any other knife and the quality is unsurpassed.

The sword I purchased is nice quality. The blade came semi-sharp, I sharpened it and it took a nice edge. I notice no wear or loss of integrity after using it for cuts. The tang (full) is still pretty sturdy, looks well made to me. If your's is not of the same quality I would contact them about it.

Also you may want to consider a fighting knife or knives. Easier to handle and you have a better chance of NOT getting it stuck in a wall. Lol

It's honestly about the same size as a hatchet and not terribly different from a hatchet. It's going to out chop and generally out perform something like the fiskars x7, but only because it has more leverage and weight. This is a good tool, if the only thing you plan to do is chop, hammer and kill. It's pretty bad at splitting, not designed for it. If your only concern is its chopping ability, this will out do anything in the under $40 price bracket. If you want to do other things for the same price, get a husquvarna or something.

If you're serious about this excursion, get a real knife. I love my Leatherman, but it's not very useful in the wilderness. The saw takes forever to go through a 1-inch stick and the knife can't be batoned so if you were planing on using it for anything like that, look elsewhere. Although I do recommend having a multitool at all times because you never know when it's gonna come in handy.

ken onion blur would be close to the top for overall usage around 60 dollars .. i read the blade forum and other reviews

The blade on the Bolo Machete is 2mm. I have found it to be a good chopping tool and is quite capable of taking down 2" thick saplings and larger with no problem. It has a good spring temper to it.

If you want a good value edc blade with assisted opening and a safety I highly recommend the SOG Mini Aegis. Great blade also light will never know it's there

This is a machete and as such it is not too flimsy, but if what you want is a real sword you'll then need to spend accordingly. This is more than just serviceable.

This knife will take whatever you can throw at it. It is part of my edc however if its a camp knife that your looking for in this price range you might want to look at the Condor tool and knifes Rodan its a well built knife intended for bushcraft
