An excellent hard use steel, 1095 is a primary choice for camping and larger fixed blade knives for it's extreme toughness and ability to hold an edge. Corrosion resistance is very limited with this steel, most blades come with a coating to prevent premature rusting.

Half my order, but Great Quality
Finally received my Ontario 6145 Military Jungle Machete 18” Blade, Polymer Handle through the mail. I got off to a difficult start by combining my order with a plastic sheath. It seems the plastic sheath’s are back ordered until Dooms Day. Finally; I agreed to a “partial” order and got my blade. I am very satisfied with the quality of grip to metal fitting and heavy parkerized coating on the blade. The machete was sharp as any knife in my collection right out of the packing. Very happy for that. Excellent blade for the money. Now I have to craft a sheath out of old aluminum down spout until my Surplus plastic sheath comes in. I found another supplier for a bit more money. I plan to buy another 18” machete for my brother later in the summer.

Pros: Overall Quality, Finish, Weight, Blade Material
Cons: None
Exactly the quality one should expect from the Ontario military issue machete. Most important to me was the excellent service from KnifeCenter.

KICK ASS
This thing is pretty much tough as nails. It came duller than any blade I've ever received from an online purchase. I took a lawn mowing file to it, and then I took a lawn mowing file to it, and then I took a lawn mowing file to it, and then I took a lawn mowing file to it, etc.... I ended up using a bench stone (which is a stone wheel on a motor that is fixed to a bench). The file was NOT doing the job at all and didn't make a dent in it what so ever, the steel was just too tough, but the bench stone made short work of it, to say the least. FYI it does not come with a sheath, you will need to order one separately. I bought this as an X-mas gift for my brother and I could not fathom gifting a dull blade
