The only thing I dislike about this knife (blade 33cm) is the price. However, you pay for quality and a little more :) I do not know what Mr thinks I have, however, taken the test during unpacking and an A4 sheet easily cut into strips. The special Barong form, it is not a bolo, as used in some services on behalf, despite by location Direction force the machete is always firmly in hand and can be used without tiring at läöngeren work. In addition, the rubber grip is very well done and is perfectly in the hand. And yes, it's more fun to limbing so than with ordinary garden tools)
