Machete Billhook Sickle Knife for Yard Work Machete for Cutting Trees Machetes Sickle Heavy Duty Machete for clearing Brush Garden Tools AxeConstruction Blade Outdoor……

It's the knife/cleaver I always wanted, it's heavy, sharp and sturdy . Love it

Once you really sharpen it it will cut through anything

Smaller but mighty, I am happy with this portable knife

Well made. Smaller than i was expecting. Pictures do not properly show size. They always use someone with small hands using or displaying item so that it looks larger than it actually is.

Heavy but works. Looks good too

Machete is a little crude, with sharp edges on the rear of the blade. Back edge is also cheaply painted, and is flaking, not sure of its chemical content, so wouldn't advise cutting any meat with it.The "forging marks" appear painted with a pattern, versus natural highlights from the forging process itself.My next steps before I use it, is to remove all the paint on surfaces, and remove the sharp edges from the back.

Best Billhook for the bucks you can find. I would carry me through the apocalypse, or a long untended back yard with equal confidence. Keep a few different handle lengths handy and it becomes a real multi-purpose limb hacker. Rends green tumble weeds well. can get through those thick roots to.And rough and tumble looking from the start, won't be afraid to get it messy.

Right out of the box I was impressed with the heft this thing has! The mounting portion is about 1/8 inch thick. This is no light weight piece of junk. Nope! I just picked up a handle from the local farmer's supply store and mounted this hook blade to it and went out to some large weeds around the edge of the yard. The weight is perfect and before I knew it, the thing had cut down a sapling about 3/4 in dia in on fell swoop! I declared it to be my favorite yard tool purchase of the year and put it in a proper place of respect on the shop!I would like to add that the pin that came with it is fine if you have the means to melt the raw end into a button but it looks like it's stainless so, I just used 1\8" steel round stock and forged it into a rivet. A cotter pin would have worked and so would have a bolt but I didn't want that much slop in a tool that's going to see as much use as this thing will at my house. You will also need to drill holes straight through it with a carbide tip bit if you want to overkill mounting it to a handle like I did. I also drilled through the solid sides of the collar and did not use the hole in the split. I did not want it to work it's way open over time.In no way am I taking stars away from this because I had to do some work to mount it properly to a handle. The workmanship is top notch and will last a lifetime. It's worth putting in the extra effort. If you want plug-and-play, it will be cheaply made and that's not what I wanted at all. This is perfect!
