It explicitly discusses the features and factors that make the machete one of a kind. nothing that won't come out when i sharpen.īottom line: it does what i need it to do, but i probably would've been better served with an actual machete. The Camillus Carnivore Review is a guide to describe perfection. the blade hit the saw blade a few times, and has a couple deformation as a result.

The only time i actually managed to mark up or damage the edge, was while hacking my saw free after it got bound up in oak tree. the whole package is just a puzzling hodgepodge of features. The chisel tip (double beveled, so it's not really a chisel tip), the straight cutting edge, bone saw, and gut hook don't add up to something that i would want to process game with. which leads me to the thing that really puzzles me about this tool: what is this thing actually made for? camillus calls the saw a "bone" saw, so that explains the poor performance in wood. Missing a picture of the saw in use, but it's a predictably poor cutter. just more awkward to use (for me).Īlso, the hard plastic handle is both uncomfortable and slippery.Įdge retention is actually really, really good. it's not much less efficient than a hatchet. I've used it a few times to clear downed trees from trails, or cut small trees in my way. it easily has the sharpest spine of any knife/striker i own.īelt carry is a ridiculous proposition. the only use i've had for it is striking a ferro rod. My son uses it a lot for "survival" challenges that he does while i'm at work. It comes in a nylon belt sheath, with this bizarre little companion knife.

I wanted something cheap, and i needed that day, so i headed to walmart. I decided recently i needed a lightweight machete to clear trails on the mountain in order to haul firewood out of the forest.
