CAMILLUS CARNIVORE Inject 18" machete

Best gardening tool I own. Saw is terrific, digs hard soil better than a trowel, great at hacking down plants. Every machete I own is longer, thinner, and more flexible than this, so as just a machete it’s ok. But as a “big” knife it’s awesome. Thick blade, digs and chisels in a way normal machetes can not. Good weight and grip, way better quality than the price suggests. The saw is near having an actual limb saw with you. Doesn’t have the length or balance of 3’ machete but it will still chop and clear. I’ve cleared small maple trees (4-5” branches) with it pretty easy. Stays sharp, I sharpen it with my standard sharpener as needed. The smaller knife is super sharp, the handle is set up to easily make it a spear head, decent field knife. Have used it for skinning and cleaning, not quite what other knives gives you but in a pinch it’s great. Will probably never use it as a spear heads but for me it stays in the handle pretty well and is a nice addition. Overall this is a big solid heavy knife with a great saw, nice smaller knife, and the sheath is also higher quality. I use and abuse this knife with out issue and have for some time now. You want a 3-4’ flexible jungle clearing machete this isn’t it. You want a 18” giant survival knife this is it.

It came within a week of ordering it (super fast). The sheath is a nice plastic, so it will hold up over time unlike nylon sheaths. The Machete is Good quality and met expectations and surpassed them. The blade isn't AS sharp as I would like but after I sharpen it that won't be an issue at all. The little knife slides into the handle and clicks in for storage. The knife was sharp. So no need to be sharpening it more than the way it came. So all in all I give it a 9/10. Would have been a 10/10 if the Machete was super sharp. Worth every cent, nice balance in weight as well! Comfortable grip! Gonna buy the bigger 23" version as well.

I submitted a return for this, because the blade wasn't razor sharp. But, since I was outside playing with my daughter, I decided to torture test it. To my surprise, this machéte destroyed everything I used it on, including a 4_in diameter hardwood branch. Afterwards, the blade is still straight as an arrow, with just a few barely noticeable nicks. The digging point works incredibly well. You wouldn't need a shovel on a camping trip. The saw works relatively well. It's just tough going because the handle is made for chopping on the blade side. Make no mistake, this isn't a jungle machéte. It's made for camping in North American hardwoods & pine forests. So far, it excels at its intended use. The small knife in the handle sheath is nice for opening beers! I'm sure it would work well as a spear tip. I opened up the paracord and looped the small knife rear opening to the full tang rear of the machéte. Time will tell if the little knife cuts through the rubber handle. If so, I'll update the review. I'll also update the more I use it. The sheath and retention straps are superb. Hopefully the rivets are decent quality. I had to return the 1st order, because the package was busted, and the sheath hard plastic was cracked. The package was still busted on my replacement, but the sheath was okay. All I need now is a way to sharpen this tough, titanium bonded stainless steel.

This thing is very sharp, especially the back saw teeth, be careful on a back swing. It is also sturdy, you can feel the quality in the weight. The only reason for the four instead of five star rating is the handle, I just wish it was a bit thicker. I have larger size hands, and the handle just feels a bit thin to me. I would like more handle to feel I have better control of this very sharp weapon. Be careful drawing it out of sheath, the blade is so sharp that the nylon loops are in danger of getting cut by the blade when you draw it from the sheath. By the way the sheath is good quality hard plastic.

It's excellent for clearing brush, the saw is good for small branches, and it stays sharp. The handle feels a little slippery when wet, but with self adhesive bandages and a lanyard loop it's not a problem. I guess my one other complaint is I wish they sold a replacement for the small bottle opener knife in the pommel. Overall the actual knife itself is amazing so no complaints there! It's stood up to some abuse so it's very durable, it's lightweight enough to carry, but hefty enough to do some light chopping. It's also very well balanced which is sort of a plus and a minus so that's why it doesn't really count as a complaint for me personally. And if you're wondering what I mean by that it makes it a very versatile knife not just a machete. However it doesn't really have that forward heft that it needs for heavy chopping so don't expect to be cutting down any trees bigger than your bicep! It's possible though if you don't have another tool like an axe or a folding saw (and all afternoon to spend) trust me I speak from experience!

Love CAMILLUS products. Have multiple of their other machetes and knives. I ordered this product and they mistakenly sent me the CAMILLUS X. Got in touch with them. They were very easy and a pleasure to work with. Got everything handled and taken care of. Will be doing business with them again!

SO, I moved to a farm from the big city. The first thing I was sure I would need is a knife that in any other location would get me arrested or recruited by Ninjas. I bought this thing, and it it's sturdy and sharp. It has great weight to it, the carrying sheath is solid so you don’t feel like you are going to stab yourself when you try to put it up. I have used it to cut rope, even gone after some branches with it and it’s still sharp. I feel like red neck Conan out there when I pull this thing out, and the Nope Ropes that dwell on the property are vanishing quickly. I can’t wait until winter when I can put on a trench coat and go Boondocks Highlander out here on some serpents.

Promises to last a long time under heavy use. Rust resistance seems to hold as does the edge.

El tamaño es adecuado para traerlo en la mochila. Dándole un poco de filo corta lo que sea que ocupes en el monte. La sierra muy bien con los cortes que puedes hacer.

Ich fang mal an der Scheide an, die Scheide selbst ist solide, die Gürtelschlaufe ist jedoch mit dem Verschlussriemen vernäht, was es sehr schwer macht sie am Gürtel zu tragen. Der Griff: ist erstmal recht gut zu Handeln, mir persönlich aber etwas zu schmal, was das nutzen als Hackmesser für Kleinholz /Anzündholz sehr unangenehm machen dürfte. Die Säge habe ich noch nicht getestet, sie fühlt sich aber sehr scharf an, sollte recht solide funktionieren. Sie Klinge selbst ist wie für ein Haumesser üblich zwar scharf, aber nicht extrem scharf, wirkt aber auch sehr leicht, ein Härtetest bleibt noch aus. Das kleine Messer im Griff ist extrem scharf, sehr kompakt und eignet sich durch das Paracord das integriert ist durchaus als Imprvisierte speerspitze oder dergleichen. für unter 40 Euro ist es eine sehr gutes Haumesser, zumindest vom ersten Eindruck her, man sollte aber für den Preis nicht ein Weltwunder erwarten. Update am 26.03.2021: das kleine Messerchen im Griff klappert ein wenig beim arbeiten mit harten Materialien (Gut getrocknetes Holz) sonst leistet das Messer hervorragende Arbeit.

Good steel. Good packaging. I like that the little blade fits into the machete's handle. As advertised. I enjoy the rigid sheath as well.

Tja, diese Machete liegt sehr gut in meiner Hand und ist doch ganz ordentlich ausbalanciert. Auffällig ist, daß sie wirklich sehr scharf ist und das gilt ebenso für die Säge (man muß wirklich aufpassen, wenn sie aus der Scheide zieht) ! Die doppelte Sicherung sorgt für den Griff sorgt dafür, daß man sie wohl kaum verlieren kann. Die Scheide gefällt mir ebenfalls sehr gut, sehr robuster Hartkunststoff, den ich auch von anderen Messern schon kenne. Das kleine 2. Messer ist eher niedlich und läßt sich erst gebrauchen, wenn man die zusätzliche Kordel-Schlaufe an der Grifföse öffnet. Die Gürtelhalterung ist zwar so lang wie der Griff, läßt sich aber effektiv aber nur für ca 3-4 breite Gürtel verwenden, da ungeschickterweise die obere Griffsicherung mit der Kordel verbunden ist. Alles in allem ein tolles Produkt -da auch noch titanbeschichtet- für multiple Einsätze auch zum graben und andere Aktionen bis hin zur maximalen self defense ...

excelente, y rapido me llego. saludos
