• The bonus on-hit damage does not benefit from  life steal.

Strategy

• The life steal that the Hunter's Machete provides is more useful on champions with high base attack damage such as Maokai, Warwick, or Jax rather than on Elise, Amumu, or Evelynn.

Trivia

• Hunter's Machete, Hunter's Talisman, and its upgrades are the only non-consumable items that grant no direct stats.
• Hunter's Machete is an alternative to the Hunter's Talisman to start in the jungle.
• Tooth and Nail reference the eponymous expression.
