TOPS Knives Steel Eagle 111A Tanto Point Knife vs CRKT Onion HalfaChance Parang Fixed Blade Knife

Why four stars? Because off the bat I know the velcro of the sheath isn't large or sticky after a month. I'll change if I'm proven wrong, but that was the only real problem with the previous knife..

I would replace the grip, but the grip is riveted; not screwed. I would only buy another if the grip was updated, or replaceable. I will update this review after I put the blade to work.

Handle is way to small for the heavy blade. When I first picked it up, I felt I could pry open a tank with it. Definitely should use a lanyard. I use one over the wrist and thumb to hold it in place

Let's see what CRKT thinks. UPDATE: I've heard from CRKT and at this point they agree to send me a new one! If it all pans out, I'll post a new update. At this point, I'm updating to 2 stars until I have a final verdict. UPDATE: They sent me a new knife no questions asked

This is a beast of a blade. I have 0 complaints except for the sheath. The nylon sheath is absolute grabage an thats why I took one star off. But! You don't buy a knife for its sheath

I have gone through larger limbs as well with more work. The sheath holds well, but the snaps don’t hug it way to tight. It just does go over the handle, it does grip the runner well just wish it was a little more secure. It’s not uncomfortable on my side either while I’m working

Love the a Heavy weight and feel of the blade. It is real thick and can chop tiny trees down. The saw back is amazing and great for cutting. The handle feels a little cheap but still holds,the blade firm

Love the weight, great chopper, best I have, my go to. Have 42 acres, lots of maintenance. Use at my lake house. Had 3 places on edge roll over

This knife, exceeded my expectations - it's a wonderful piece of equipment! It was worth every dollar and I'd buy it again! Way to go Tops Knives!

It was decently sharp upon arrival but wore down quickly. I touch up the blade with a whetstone after every use to maintain a good edge. It’s a little heavy but if you intend to use it for breaking down thicker material than the weight is a must to hold up to that sort of impact. Overall for the price it’s not bad just watch out for the handle coming loose

Decent black nylon sheath that I would judge to be 600 denier cordura with a sharpening stone pouch. I would highly recommend attaching a paracord wrist lanyard; as a wet hand and heavy knife may decide to fly around the campsite. You wont be disappointed!

Good construction and arrived fairly sharp (I sharpened it further to my liking). I'm not a big fan of the curved handle design personally, but this was the first time I tried one and can see how it could appeal to others. Quality sheath too. Overall a good machete
