⚙️ Hardware Setup, Adjustments & FAQs

❓ My machete's handle feels a bit loose, is this normal? cfg_01
Check for visible screws on the handle. If present, tighten them carefully. If the handle is molded directly onto the blade tang, some slight flex might be normal, but avoid forcing the handle at extreme angles.
