Well, picked it up. Yeah, you can tell it was made by the hands of Chinese children, but for $12 I guess I can't complain. About the only gripe I have right now is that the etched numbers are a bit hard for me to see. Another damn task where I have to have my reading glasses handy.
On a side note, their machetes were on sale for $5, so I figured, what the heck. :) The blade is bendy like a saw blade, and I already completely ripped the sheath because the serrated side of the blade shredded it the first time I drew the machete, but it might be fun for whacking brush around the house. Looks like it will saw small branches just fine too.
