Get a file and sharpen it.

If I buy something it should come out the box ready to use.

Those plastic handles chew into your hands after a few hours of whacking. It also feels like hitting a baseball with the end of the bat when you catch something wrong. My Gerber was $50 or something and well worth it. Much better steel

I use a cane knife.

Even most of the "good" machetes don't come sharpened. You have to sharpen them yourself. I have a "heavy machete" from Cold Steel. I had to sharpen that one too. If you have a belt grinder, it would be fast and easy.

The Bear Grills ones are pretty sharp and have a nice handle.
