How many of you guys use a machete for woods work - hacking vines, trails, killing venomous flying rattleheadedcoppermoccasins, slicing apples for your grandchild?

If so, which do you like and use/

Black handle Ontario Knife. We've got several. Work well, along with loppers and a pole saw for brush clearing. If our pole saw breaks, we just return it to Lowe's and say it was defective whistle

Technically not a machete but I keep a Gerber Gator in the truck. Take it any time I'm in the woods piddlin.

I've heard this was possible.

I have an old one my grandfather had made from a leaf spring of an old farm truck. Needs a new handle now so it is not in use. Had a little billhook built into it that was sharpened also, great for grabbing vines and cutting by pulling when you couldn't slash.

I keep a basic cheap Gerber machete in the truck.

I really want a Kukuri or Barong style in a really good steel. Think they are cool.

I do. guys at the hunting club love using loppers for trail trimming. ill never understand that. I can work circles around a pair of loppers with a lot less effort. my machetes are 29" and if you know how to sharpen them, you can make quick work out of limbing roads.

Yeah, I keep two machetes in the truck and one in the car.

IMACASA 15 INCH HOOKED CANE KNIFE/MACHETE. Use one and you'll never go back to a regular machete.

Keep one in my truck. Gets used a lot.


Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.

My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

I've got a Gerber gator and i hate it i bought it when they first came out and it's the biggest pile of junk. I've seen angry beavers chew trees faster then this thing can club a small limb off. Every time I give it so someone to use and intentionally leave it in their truck it gets returned usually following the words "hey you left your snazzy butter knife in my truck the other day"

The ultimate "machete" for trimbing limbs and brush is a cane knife. More weight forward in the blade than a traditional machete

Got one I picked up at a surplus store years ago. Can't remember the last time I used it.

Several machetes of various sizes and configurations here at the house, and a Trucker's Friend in my truck.

I've got one that has a hook on the end, and tapers our to a very wide blade the closer to the end it gets. Don't know who made it, it's old. When it's sharp, I can clear out lanes in a hurry.

That sounds like a cane knife
