Review: Excellent Bargin - This review will be quick. In short you can not go wrong with this machete for the money. It does not come razor sharp but mine had a really good working edge. It was fairly easy to put a razor sharp edge on it. However the tip of the machete was difficult to put a sharp edge on it. This machete does not have the build quality of a higher end machete but with a little work it can be a gem. Also it does not come with a sheath. I bought the sheath for the 18 inch Cold Steel Latin Machete which works well for this machete. The reason I gave it 5 stars is simply because it is well worth every penny I spend on it. One final note, yes, it does machete task quite well. Review: 18" is the perfect length for this machete. - I love this machete. I bought it in 22" as well and prefer the 18" length blade. These are legendary tools that get the job done. I've been trimming a monster hedge and vine that ruined the roof on a shed that was built too close to my property line way before my time. This machete cuts through thin or thick vegetation and never complains, nor has it broken like other machetes costing over double the price of the Tramontina. I put hockey grip tape on my handles for extra grip and comfort. ## Features - Perfect purchase for a gift - Great craftmanship - A must buy item ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0050KM3SW | | Best Sellers Rank | #47,481 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #22 in Gardening Machetes | | Blade Length | 18 inches | | Blade Material | Carbon Steel | | Blade Material Type | Carbon Steel | | Brand | Tramontina | | Brand Name | Tramontina | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 312 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00016017054608 | | Hand Orientation | Right | | Handle Material | Polypropylene (PP) | | Included Components | TT518 | | Item Dimensions L x W | 17.99"L x 2.83"W | | Item Length | 59.3 centimeters | | Item Type Name | Machete | | Item Weight | 400 g | | Manufacturer | StealStreet (Home) | | Manufacturer Part Number | TT518 | | Model Number | SS-BRK-TT518 | | Product Style | 18 inches | | Style | 18 inches | | UPC | 016017054608 | ## Product Details - **Blade Length:** 18 Inches - **Blade Material:** Carbon Steel - **Brand:** Tramontina - **Handle Material:** Polypropylene (PP) - **Style:** 18 inches ## Images ![Machete, Carbon Steel, Polypropylene Handle - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51wgJvKcbLL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Bargin *by J***E on January 20, 2014* This review will be quick.

I bought it in 22" as well and prefer the 18" length blade. These are legendary tools that get the job done. I've been trimming a monster hedge and vine that ruined the roof on a shed that was built too close to my property line way before my time. This machete cuts through thin or thick vegetation and never complains, nor has it broken like other machetes costing over double the price of the Tramontina. I put hockey grip tape on my handles for extra grip and comfort. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good steel, but the handle needs some work *by S***R on June 29, 2012* Previously, I have only tried out the wooden-handles Tramontina machetes. They are made with exceptionally good steel. They take a better edge than I've been able to get on other machetes, and they hold it better. The Tramontina steel is markedly better than that used in the Cold Steel machetes, or even US-made Ontario machetes. The biggest problem with the wood-handled machetes is the handle. The plastic-handled one I tried is much the same. The handles is slippery, and yet also abrades the hand when in use. I don't know hoe they managed that. With the wooden-handled model, a little sanding makes the handle much more comfortable to use. I would think that a little hockey tape or something similar would really help the plastic-handled machete. The handle shape is a little uncomfortable in use. It digs into my hand when I am chopping vines and such. It needs a little padding. The plastic handle does at least have a lanyard hole, which is a useful feature, and is not found on the wooden-handled version. If I needed a lanyard hole, I'd consider this machete, but otherwise I'd go with the wooden handle. It is more comfortable to use and easier to hold onto. The blade appears to be slightly superior on this model than on the wooden-handled model. It has a real ricasso, rather than just a section at the bottom that looks like somebody forgot to sharpen it. That is more attractive, and also lets you see, at a glance, where the cutting edge starts. You'll use that part of the edge down near the handle for more delicate cutting tasks, like maybe peeling fruit. The machete is a camping and survival tool, and it must be useful for many different kinds of jobs. As on the wooden-handled machete, this one arrived without a good edge on it. It could have been used to clear brush, but it cuts much better with a sharper edge. A few minutes with a file put a good working edge on it. As with other Tramontinas, the construction is a little sloppy and the edge was uneven. After filing, I found that there was a short section in the middle of the blade that was just as dull as before. It took several more minutes to even out the edge and get it sharp all the way down. The machete cut well and held its edge. No surprise there, as Tramontina makes about the best machete blades you'll find, without spending hundreds on a custom machete. For temperate zones, I have found the Cold Steel Magnum Kukri machete will outperform any other I've tried, including the Tramontinas. The Tramontina steel is superior, but the blade shape of the magnum Kukri performs beautifully. If you are sold on a latin-style machete, then Tramontina is the best, but for cutting the denser plants we have in the US, the latin-style blade shape is inefficient. If Tramontina would start offering a kukri-style blade in the US, it would probably be the best factory-produced machete available in the history of the world. ## Frequently Bought Together - Tramontina Machete, Carbon Steel, Polypropylene Handle - Tramontina Bolo Machete - Smith’s 50582 Axe & Machete Sharpener - Axe, Machete, Hatchet, & Mower Tools - Large Handle w/ Finger Guard - Handheld Manual - Replaceable Carbide Blades - Wire-Bristled Cleaning Brush - Durable --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/5255097-machete-carbon-steel-polypropylene-handle](https://www.desertcart.be/products/5255097-machete-carbon-steel-polypropylene-handle) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-07-25*
