I've had it for a couple of weeks now. Got it on sale on Amazon for $25 - which I could not pass up (normal price is $45). If it goes on sale again I will buy a couple more.
The weather was nice enough today that I tried it out.
I think it is the best machete type blade I have so far.
I have a CS Magnum Kukri which I think is one of the worst.
The Kabar Kukri was the best I had, but I think this CRKT HalfAChance is better. Has slightly better balance, sharp and swings well enough to cut even light grass, but works about as well as the Kabar on saplings, suckers and limbs. I think the handle could be a bit larger, but I have large hands and I wear gloves when working in the brush. It handles briars better than the Kabar.
