Zombie Go Boom Wasteland Gladius experience?

I just wanted to mention that the Cold Steel option no longer exists. Apparently, Cold Steel was buying these in Africa in an unfinished state and sharpening these in house.

I own the cold steel gladius machete I've chopped some hellashious things in my back yard just to see what it would do. I did snap about a 2-3 centimeter off the tip but a file took care of that I don't have that needle needle needle point it had but I pierce Boston butts and lops the head off a goat just as easily as my kukri machete. I would trust it in a home defense situation moreso because of the dual edge even if they grabbed the blade a stout pull or push would make their hands all but useless. Anyways sen the united cutlery one in academy been curious to do a head to head but need info on how to post pictures let alone vids .

Are the CS Gladius still that bad without an edge and a blunt tip ?
