They make saws, shovels, garden clippers, tree pruners\u2014you name it\u2014and their Corona Clipper machetes are among the more popular items in their product line. I\u2019ve used them extensively and found them to be exactly the right tool for certain tasks. For other tasks, not so much.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes the Corona machete a tough one to review. The thing is, we tend to ask a lot of our machetes. We often want a tool that can clear brush, but also cut down trees and split logs. To be perfectly frank, that\u2019s not what machetes are for. There are other tools for that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I say this because if you buy a Corona Clipper expecting to hack through arm-thick tree trunks, you\u2019ll find it lacking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cBut if you buy it with the intent of clearing out brush and weeds\u2014which, again, is it\u2019s intended use\u2014then you\u2019ll find it to be just the right tool for that job.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_b14f46-3c > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(#kt-layout-id_b14f46-3c >

two sizes: 18\u201d and 22\u201d. I chose the 18\u201d model, and have found it to be just right for my needs. The 18\u201d measurement, by the way, refers only to the blade length. If you include the handle, the machete measures just a hair over 23 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This machete has a pretty thin blade, just about 1\/16\u201d at the spine. It also has some significant bend and flex to it. These could be viewed as negatives, but they bring me back to a point that I\u2019m probably going to end up making a few times in this review. That point is: this is a good machete for what it is. A thin, agile blade is what you want for bushwhacking through weeds and underbrush.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t know the exact makeup of the blade steel. It definitely has some decent carbon content, and the blade is heat tempered to give it extra strength and longevity while maintaining flexibility. A lot of machetes have softer steel and are not hardened, so this is nice to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Note: Buy The Right Model<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The model reviewed here is the MA60061 with an 18\u2033 blade.

I wouldn\u2019t go so far as to say it\u2019s honed to perfection\u2014to be honest, the factory grind is a bit uneven\u2014but it\u2019s sharp enough to use right away if you want to. Personally, I\u2019d run it over with a file to get a keener edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever the makeup of the steel may be, I must give the Corona credit for being easy to sharpen. It takes an edge nicely, which is important because despite the tempered steel, a machete like this will dull with natural wear-and-tear, so you\u2019ll want to sharpen it

of hard plastic with a rubberized grip. It\u2019s well contoured for an average-sized hand, and the rubber (actually a rubber-like plastic called Santoprene) makes it comfortable as well as slip-resistant, even under wet conditions. The handle has a built-in hand stop, which also helps keep it firmly in your hand and minimizes slipping. There\u2019s a lanyard hole at the rear end of the grip.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The handle is made up of two pieces, which are clamped around the blade and held together with steel rivets. It\u2019s a sturdy design, but there is a bit of a seam where the two parts meet, and you can feel it in your hand.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I actually sanded the handle of mine down just a bit to avoid getting blisters from the seams during heavy use (you could also tape the handle, or just wear gloves, which is probably a good idea anyway).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>One thing I love is that the blade has a full tang that extends all the way through the handle and provides good balance and stability.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_16d9e5-5e > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(#kt-layout-id_16d9e5-5e > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}#kt-layout-id_16d9e5-5e > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var( --global-kb-row-default-top, 25px );padding-bottom:var( --global-kb-row-default-bottom, 25px );padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}#kt-layout-id_16d9e5-5e > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){#kt-layout-id_16d9e5-5e > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){#kt-layout-id_16d9e5-5e > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-rowlayout alignnone\"><div id=\"kt-layout-id_16d9e5-5e\" class=\"kt-row-layout-inner kt-layout-id_16d9e5-5e\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-gutter-default kt-v-gutter-default kt-row-valign-top kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-m-colapse-left-to-right kt-mobile-layout-row\"><style>.kadence-column_84f999-92 > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;}.kadence-column_84f999-92 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_84f999-92 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_84f999-92 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_84f999-92 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_84f999-92 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_84f999-92 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_84f999-92{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_84f999-92 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_84f999-92 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column inner-column-1 kadence-column_84f999-92\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.kb-image_af1efe-8b.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .kb-image_af1efe-8b .kb-image-is-ratio-size{max-width:800px;width:100%;}.wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image_af1efe-8b.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image_af1efe-8b .kb-image-is-ratio-size{align-self:unset;}.kb-image_af1efe-8b figure{max-width:800px;}.kb-image_af1efe-8b .image-is-svg, .kb-image_af1efe-8b .image-is-svg img{width:100%;}.kb-image_af1efe-8b .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_af1efe-8b\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full kb-image-is-ratio-size\"><div class=\"kb-is-ratio-image kb-image-ratio-land43\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/corona-machete-blade-sharpness.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-5171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/corona-machete-blade-sharpness.jpg 600w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/corona-machete-blade-sharpness-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/corona-machete-blade-sharpness-500x333.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/div><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Using the Corona Machete<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The 18\u201d Corona Clipper is perfect for clearing overgrown trails, cutting down vines, and getting rid of unwanted brush. I\u2019ve taken it with me on some trail maintenance treks and found it to be an ideal trail buddy. There\u2019s a place on my property where the woods are constantly trying to take back the yard, and this machete always comes with me when it\u2019s time to hack down all the new vines and saplings that pop up back there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>These are the kinds of situations in which the Corona shines. The thinness and flexibility of the blade, along with its easy-to-sharpen edge, make it an ideal tool for this kind of light-duty work.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need to cut through anything bigger around than your wrist, this isn\u2019t really the right tool. It can be done with a series of V-cuts\u2014I\u2019ve definitely used the Corona this way to get through some thicker, woody vines\u2014but you\u2019re better off using a good hatchet, or a blade like the Kershaw Camp Knife.

18\u201d Corona Clipper is really a top-notch product in its price range.<\/strong>&nbsp;I\u2019ve seen these things go on sale as low as $10, which is kind of crazy when you consider what you\u2019re getting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could definitely pay much more and get a more versatile, high-end machete. And if that\u2019s what you need, then by all means do so. But if you\u2019re looking for an affordable machete that handles light-duty work like a champ, then you\u2019ll have a hard time finding a better deal than the Corona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4
