Its just a machete , ex philipines , hand made , I think its a repurposed leafsrping .
I seen a few people mentioning similar knives but very rarely positively , tho Ive never had an issue with mine , and the flogging its taken I think if it were going to fail , it would have .
It is only a stick tang job , but it hasnt let me down , I batoned my kindling all winter with it so far , it gets the branches I feed to my goat , it clears the weeds so I can get to the river bank to fish .... my wife calls it my friend .
