Looking for a trail/brush cutter of a thing (FOUND IT: Sugar Cane Machete)
I could use a tool like that here in Central Florida.

When you get it, please post a review of weight, balance, quality of steel and ability to hold an edge.

I have been thinking of doing the 3/4flap thing and making one out of a chainsaw bar, but since I can't do heat treat in my own shop, I'd really rather just buy one.

Thanks.

A

One I saw was likely closer to 30” overall length.

thinking the .gov issued it as well as the commercial market,,

Still looking around a bit now that I know what it is actually called.
I’ll let you all know which I decide on. Likely to hike again with the fella that has it this weekend so I’ll see if it has any markings on it.

looks like they're discontinued and can't seem to find any. Wonder if that blade started flying off sometimes Eek

I am going to say that is the exact tool there.

Likely discontinued for awhile as no one has it online.
