Who here has abused a marbles scout, black camo, or black machete before. I want to buy one to test it out but ive heard some people say that the handles crack or come loose easily and wanted to know if this is true. If the handles are good however i plan on taking on camping expeditions

The handles are effectively the same as those on Imacasa machetes, which is some form of pine-like conifer. Nothing special but it gets the job done effectively. In some cases the grain orientation and an overly tightened handle rivet combine to make a crack in the handle, but otherwise they're typically fine.
