Budget-priced machetes will almost always require extra work on your part in order to make them usable. When considering a budget-priced machete ($20 or less), there are three main factors to consider.

1) Do you need a sheath? If so, can you make or acquire a sheath of sufficient quality?

2) Can you replace, re-finish, or effectively wrap the handle of the machete, to make it usable?

3) Are you able to put an edge onto the machete by hand or by machine, or have access to someone who can do so?
