The 12 Survivors Machete is seriously robust and sharp. The blade has a thickness of almost a 1/4 inch at its thickest edge and feels sturdy enough to hack through even the densest of foliage. Made of 420J2 stainless steel, it's super corrosion resistant and can fend off rust even in humid conditions. Its full-tang grip is covered with paracord, making it even more useful in survival situations. However, 420J2 is not known for being a great blade steel due to its poor edge retention, so it'll require a lot of sharpening in the long run.

Pros: Solid build, sharp blade, access to paracord
Cons: Questionable edge retention, paracord grip can be slippery, nylon sheath
