Kama set usage
"The Kama set cuts through the toughest grounds, digs up roots and dirt clods and works divinely, thanks to the person that suggests to keep them in oil to prevent rusting, so I found a cylinder that holds about a quart and a half oil that I dip them into to keep them rust free and looking pristine."
Pretty good
"For the price these Kama are pretty good. The blades are very sharp and decent. The only thing I’m a bit concerned about is the wooden handles, they are very light in my opinion and can be compared to broom handle sticks. They could be a bit more heavier and stout. Don’t know how well the handles would hold up if you had to use these Kama for self defense, but the blades I have no doubt. For the money they are a good deal."
Good Blades
"Just so people know they are a type of Carbon steel not stainless! They are a deferentially heat treated Carbon steel! That's why they have the burn marks on the steel and why they get so sharp. They will rust or stain if you don't take care of them. I can't say for sure but I'm assuming they're 1095 or similar white steel or maybe even super blue. Overall they are good blades I wish I could get a knife of this quality for this price."
I ordered these 6 days
"I ordered these 6 days ago. The reason that I'm writing this review is because I've only been using these for 4 hours and on of them bent at the tip... twice. I had to hammer the tips out so that they were usable again. Definitely worth 10 dollars, but the kind of disappointed me."
Mixed feelings
"I have really mixed feelings about this set...my initial reaction was disapoint because these things are super light. The one decal peeled off my first time handling them and showed that the blade only goes about 2 inches into the very light wood handles. But then I remembered they only cost less than $5 a piece. They are razor sharp...literally takes the hair off my arm in one swipe. They are very interesting wall hangers or honestly feel like they would be very useful cutting down tall grass without having to go through the trouble of plugging in a trimmer as some other reviews stated. Utility over weaponry...mini sickle rather than a ninja weapon (I know ninjas repurposed farming implements but they had to be more heavy duty than this). For self defense...they are visually very intimidating but if it comes to blows you better land the first blow because they might shatter after that. In short....pretty neat."
great tool!
"Got these for pruning tall grass in my garden. They work excellent, as these things are incredibly sharp, and surprisingly durable. They admittedly look like they wouldn't hold up well, but I've use these on a very regular basis in my garden for a year and a half and I prefer to use them over any of my other sickles or shears. The blades are well-seated in the handle, as I'm not easy on these blades, and there is not any play in them after all the times I've used them. My only complaint is not a complaint really: you have to oil the blades because they are carbon steel and will rust easily, but I don't mind this as I prefer carbon steel blades because of their superior sharpness to stainless. Great item."
Kama Set
"Good deal for the money, if you get them like I did, $10 for the set. This is my first experience with Kama's so I have no point of comparison but for $10 + postage for the set? Great deal. Very sharp. Be careful. I removed the sticker immediately, not sure what that sticker is about? I then painted mine flat black. They look bad a** now. VERY sharp, I cut myself while painting one of them. If you're looking for bulletproof, beat against a tree toughness, look elsewhere. If you want a good deal for the money. Here you go"
Homemade
"I don't quite understand why these are top rated. If I hadn't gotten them on sale for half price and free shipping, I would be very disappointed. The blades are nothing more than thick, stamped sheet metal that has a very sharp edge ground on them and wedged into a light weight, cut off dowel. There is also a paper sticker with tape holding it on and a mysterious #6 painted on each handle. Display would be the only use for these, but at $20, plus shipping the recommendation is definitely a NO. BudK has much, much better merchandise for that amount and less."
Razors
"The wood used is a somewhat soft wood for this application. the blades seem well connected though. The blades are rather thin and I am not sure what type of steel they are constructed from, but it has a good spring temper and heat treated. They are absurdly sharp. With out exaggeration, these are shaving sharp. Shaving is not a recommended use for these, but it did work well with my beard hair."
