Grass Machete

[Street Samurai1978]

Anybody know if the loose blade/handle problem was fixed on the grass machetes? I know it won't come out of the handle but the idea of a loose blade is still a little disconcerting.

Supposedly they addressed the issue and it shouldn't be a problem anymore. Even if it is, KB will fix it.

Mine got loose, but I popped out the retaining pin and poured epoxy down the handle, put it all back together. Left it sit for a couple days and it is better than new. Love this thing. It eats through wood. Goes hand in hand with my chainsaw for limbing after I cut up the big stuff.

Did the same thing with mine. Love the Grass Machete.

Considering some people are still finding grass machetes with loose handles, has anyone considered taking the handle off, shortening the forward end a little, and making a crossguard for it?

Gotta get me one! I've been hearing about the greatness of the grass machete for a long time. I think it was moose that I first mentioned it.
