I need machete to cut coconut on regular basis. Is this machete designed for such thing?

I used it to chop down an apple tree, so a coconut (or durian) should be no problem. Just beware the sharpness, and be sure to stabilize the coconut so that it doesn't roll.

I believe so. Its short enough for controlled swings, heavy enough with weight forward to cleave thru outer shell w/o much difficulty.

Hmm. Haven't tried that yet, but I can tell you that this is one, well-made, tough machete. I would imagine that it would have no problem with coconuts. Good heft, well balanced, and very sturdy.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, I think Amazon carries a model of Gallager's "Sledge-O-Matic" which should handle those coconuts. Or try the "Acme" company........

Its pretty heavy to use to hack thru bushes.I bought one for my son and I since we both loved the movie.but if I was going to buy a machete for use I would get a gerber or sog machete.

Absolutely. However, the head weight of a Latin style machette, parang and bolo machete make these the better candidates.

Absolutely, it's just a mini chainsaw on a pole so whatever you can reach you can cut. I have personally found it a very useful tool for general trimming around the house !

It is a "made in China" short machete. The blade has 14" length. I could say that could be used to cut coconuts.I use it to trim small trees

After Christmas, I used it to chop through a 5" dia Christmas Tree trunk, swinging as hard as I could. The machete did not bend - the trunk did cut. It took several swings - which is proably why people don't use machetes to chop logs.

yes except were there cord cutter is near the end. This not your average knife , you you can chop, dig, pry ,saw with it and probably fight with it in close quarters very effectively. I have dug with it and chopped small limbs. It is thick enough to split small logs using another piece of wood as hammer.

It does. The handle is quite beefy. Overall it is a nice machete. Needs a little love on the blade but is somewhere around 3/16 thick.

Yes. This is a blade for regular use when a larger instrument would not be practical. I have used similar blades during long treks and it functions well. It would not serve for building shelter, or defense. Not a general purpose knife, though. Too small.

No, you have to buy it seperaty. And for note, I still use this machete, and it works wonderfully.

after fourty plus years as a machinist,, all i can say about the 'machete' is it is a piece of crap if it is made of high carbon steel,, i would question thier metalurgy...too limber, two light weight to do ANY work at alland totally wortless it is a toy at best... i need to get a decent bolo knife to replace the one that someone lifted from me....

Yes, the blade is designed for universal fit and cuts wonderful. I have been using mine all summer and it chops the grass up very fine.

Yes, I tried it the other day on a young coconut and it worked perfectly. I could get the whole half out in one piece.

Dear Raul, We are glad to hear from you. First thing this machine we making for House hold use. If you want to use this machine for a industrial purpose " Yes". Only thing you have to give enough brake time (10-20 minutes) after every 10 coconut grate.You feel little bit hot on the coconut shredder body part , That is ok. And you need couple of extra blades also , that we are selling through amazon. If you have more question feel free to ask. Thanks Gitachi engineering inc

The blade isn't "sharp". It's molded to be thinner in certain spots to get in between the coconut and shell easier. So I don't think it would ever become less effective. Also it was much sturdier than I had expected it would be. The blade doesn't bend like if you have used a butter knife in the past. I was very impressed and my 15 year old has even started taking my coconuts and eating them after using the tool on them! He used to wait for me to get all the meat out, because with a butter knife it is a long process.

Yes but it is recommended to purchase a better on. The blade provided does not last long.
