Oh wow. I've never had that happen to mine. My first machete I bought when I was 16. The GI model. So far I've not had any issues with the handle. Have you tried their machetes with the molded handles with hard? I have two of those also. I actually like those molded handles better.
Part of the problem is that I let my daughters chop firewood with it while camping and they hit a log repeatedly in a non-perpendicular stroke, inducing handle vibration...which backed out half of one of the press-fit handle rivets. The paracord in the pic below looks like it would prevent this from happening but all I had on hand before we left was tennis racquet grip wrap.
