Thread: Machete

lopping shears..handles about 2 foot long are heaps easier than a machete..... but its all swings n roundabouts...for crown fern and skinny sticks a hookfern slasher is VERY hard to beat..the trick is to use it forwards,cutting upwards so blade enguages stems and pulls into them as going up,Vs swinging down,they bend and dont cut as well.
gorse is a barstard full stop....loppers beats a machete but nothing beats a chainsaw....
