  - One heck of a nice cleaver. Mine arrived hair splitting sharp. I like the Toxic Green grips and it also comes with a set of black. I put the black set on my Baconmaker, as it was wearing off color brown. I asked Kabar to make sure mine was hair splitting sharp and it arrived just as I requested. Love the pebble grain texture on the scales, makes for a slip-free grip. I give this cleaver 5 stars.

  - For $50, this hunk of steel is a steal. . Got 3 of these for my boys, so they can have a good chopper. I was surprised how sharp they were. To be honest, I was expecting to have to do some work on the blade. The sheath was the only thing that needs some work, but I'm not putting 4 stars just for the sheath. . Solid piece of camping gear.

  - I got this knife for Christmas and I absolutely love it!! Everything about it is perfect: full tang, the weight, Made In USA, etc. Well done KA-BAR, Well Done!

  - This is a good deal. Very sharp. Nice balance. The sheath is also excellent. You can carry many additional things in the sheath, perfect for surviving the apocalypse.

  - Hell of a chopper. Came razor sharp took it outside and tried it on some green trees about 2 or 3 inches around. Ate through them like it was angry no blade damage and still sharp. Comfortable in the hand despite the weight the thing is built like a tank you would have to put in some real work to damage it appreciably. You'll know if you miss what you swing at with all that weight but thats inevitable for something built so sturdily.

  - Absolute beast of a knife for the clearance price! Box clearly says "Knife made in USA," and the sheath is surprisingly good quality; it's a semi-rigid sheath with a plastic liner. The Bad- it's heavy. Yes, that's all I can come up with and I'm a massive, yet not wealthy, knife snob. I suppose if I need to or should leave constructive criticism, the free knife is much smaller than it's dimensions had me expecting and the handle will HAVE TO be wrapped. It's tiny. Absolutely nothing some paracord can't fix or, if I get bored/fidgety I may try to make a set of scales for it out of some white ash that's otherwise firewood. And it's made in China. But c'mon, it's a free knife and the chopper alone is worth full price as it is! The Good- IT. IS. A. BEAST!! It makes a standard machete feel like a toy, it's shaving sharp out of the box, and leaves me absolutely NO doubt it would cleave the ever-living *insert your favorite word here* out of anything in it's path but still manages to feel balanced, controllable, and nowhere near as forward-heavy as I had expected. It feels awesome in my hands! While not exceptionally "beefy," my hands outstretched are large; almost 9 3/4" from pinky to thumb and the handle does NOT feel small. Not one bit. In fact, it almost feels on the large side (likely because I'm used to 'normal-sized' knives, but my EDCs are a Gerber 06 Tanto and a full Ka-Bar. For reference, to me, the former seems good and steady in my hand, the latter is just about perfect by production knife standards). Handle-wise, I will figure out what form of Paracord wrist lanyard feels best/works best/gets caught up the least (you don't want to lose your trip on this mid-swing. You just don't) and call it good. I'm no expert, but I have been fiddling, working with, and customizing my own kit for a little over 25 years now. I've sold or traded (or had stolen) almost as many as I still own from Swiss Army to Cutco kitchen knives to other Ka-Bar products to Gerbers to CRKTs to more random, generic, hit and miss quality. THIS chopper is now my #1 go-to if/when I want more , hands down.han my Ka-Bar. Especially considering their clearance price, that it comes with an extra set of black scales (and mounting hardware!), and everything green can either be easily dyed, scraped and hidden with a partial re-coating, be engraved over, or is already on the back side of the sheath, if you want a zombie killer/bug-out bag/or large carry knife, I would recommend graciously parting with your already-depreciating currency and buy one before they sell out!

  - Must have received one with poor heat treat. Blade edge deformed severely with light batoning. Meh…

  - For $45 this blade is a deal. The 1095 Cro-Van steel it's made of isn't the greatest steel, but it's not the worst either. It'll rust really easy, but they've covered this issue by coating the steel so rust SHOULDN'T be an issue now just watch moisture on the edge. It has a good weight feel in the hands & it comes very sharp. This steel should hold a decent edge & sharpen easily. It's got a good amount of material in the blade so chopping & hacking with this is a breeze.

  - I give this one high marks as an all-around chopper. I've used this blade for cutting parasite vines off of trees and clearing trail overgrowth and it does the job well on green wood up to calibers of 3-4" at which point my arbor chainsaw takes over. If I could only have one of the three current Ka-Bar clearance priced choppers this would be the one to buy. It's a great value at this low price. Takes and holds a shaving quality edge. Wish the scabbard was more MOLLE friendly.

  - I have used A LOT of different machete-style knives over the past 20 years, and I gotta say hands down this is the nicest one. It fits well in the hand, regardless of the size of your hand. It really feels like a very high quality blade, you won't be disappointed. Can't say enough good things about it.

  - I purchased the Zomstro for my husband for Christmas. He LOVES it! The weight is impressive. It has a thick tang with a nice pommel which fits the hand ergonomically. Feels really comfortable and solid to hold in the hand. This is a very heavy knife with a thick tang and everything about it feels solid. My husband collects knives, and he doesn't have anything like this. I chose it because it's a unique shape, and the green is kinda novel. I think this will appreciate in value over time if Ka Bar makes them for a limited time. I'm not sure if that's the plan, but I think so. It comes with black scales as well, in case you want to swap them out. It also came with a large canvas sheath, and a small skeleton knife. Pretty good deal.
