That little hole is the lanyard hole, just in the wrong part of the handle. Zombie-Go-Boom tested this out, was barely able to damage a zombie head, and one of the crew was able to bend the blade with their bare hands.
I used this machete today to try cutting some over growth over my driveway. It was all just small branches under 3/4 inch and some vines. I gave up on this machete. It was like trying to chop through a tractor tire with a gummy worm. I pulled out my old half rusted machete I got from a yard sale 20 years ago and it made short work of the over growth even though it was pretty dull.
If you are using it for any length of time, thats actually a bonus... I have a couple of extra thick stainless steel machetes f(or acidic woods/ brush clearance...) They are NO fun if you need to use them for a few hours on a job. ounces make pounds... and pounds matter when you're swinging.
Just got one good weight not to heavy not to light the case is crap... and the hole in the hadle is for a lanyard and yes you have to sharpen it when you get it for 5 bucks best deal in Walmart......

If you want to know if a blade is useful, try openly carrying it around town and see if anyone notices.🤣
For a cheap blade not too bad. But I’d spend more and get a good one.
Very handy for the money … I believe that hole maybe to hang it in a shed ? Maybe I’m wrong
I thought maybe it was for a lanyard. It looks like it has enough rivets to hold the handle on.
Worked for Jason Voorhees. He knew a lot. Just passing along.
This is actually a really good blade
This is interesting..I once used one of these in a pinch.

It's for "cigarettes" so you don't burn your lips

Bamboo?
Japanese knot weed. Bamboo's ugly step sister. Nasty stuff. Parts of it, at certain stages, are edible though; so there's that.
It looks very lightweight.

Is it a great blade? No.
Is it better than having no blade at all? Yes.
Can you do much better if can afford it? Also yes.
this man does not know how to use machete.
Made.a.video by making a bush knife out of it.
Put it to the test and came out good.
I think you would have done better just swinging a shovel man

Wrap the handle in hockey tape.Machetes are supposed to be light for all day work.They flex to cut though vines ect.Sheath is junk.Great for $5
Have you ever used one before???? Because it doesn't seem like it...😅😅😅
Guilty as charged lol
