Amazon has gotten bad about letting bootleggers on their platform but I have one of those & everything about it screams that its a Cold Steel. Besides that those things are already so cheap it really wouldnt be worth much to bootleg them. Thats my 2 cents anyway.
I have a lot of cold steel knives. I get them from Amazon, the knife center and blade HQ. I never once got a bootleg knife from Amazon from what I understand it is possible but you can tell the difference if you look closely the one you have is definitely a real cold steel. I have the same one from the knife center.
I think your machete is legit, I don’t think it’s a fake. People are quick to call things fake these days. Fake gear usually stands out like a sore thumb. Awesome reviews on this and the Tramontinas. I enjoy using machetes too.
Been watching this dude for a while. He is legit ,and he just said he listened to Nirvana. He is touched by the coolness! He is a fellow knife bro too! I hope he keeps making more vids.
lol this is such a stupid machete! if you wanna chop get an axe, if you want to clear brush get any other way lighter machete, or a sling blade, or a billhook
