I prefer the fiskars brush thinner. It has a short handle but the blade is like a small version of a kaiser blade.
As far as machetes go one of the best I had was a Collins with a 23" blade.

so much lighter than a bank blade of any kind. The smaller version I mentioned is not much heavier than a machete. The biggest mistake folks make is trying to compare the larger (36" - 40") versions to machete work. They will do different things a machete will not do, but will wear out a person because they are heavy and are two hand operations. That's the reason I get the 30" version. It can be used one handed for small stuff. Two hands and I can make waste of bigger stuff much faster than a machete (less work). I've put on some clinics (at work days at various clubs) before and sold these things for Council. If they would sponsor me, I would do a field day for all you machete guys with a money back guarantee if I didn't change your mind. But it's like my 7 year old not listening to me on how to hit a baseball. You got to use it correctly also. The hook side on the small one has a more pronounced curve, and it will get work done when you get the hang of it. One or two handed.

Bank blade...we've always call it a bush hook, or a bush axe. They're great for anything a machete would be useful for and most things a regular axe would be useful for.
For snakes, I prefer a Ruger SP101 with #9 shot.

Clem You can google them but I found a small bush hook that is about the length of an axe and a lot lighter than a full size one. I never go in the woods during the summer with out it. It's light and I carry it like a walking stick.
