How To machetes use in woody , North-American brush.
网页Dec 13, 2023. #3. I used to make a machete specifically for this called the Fell Beast. They were made from .110 or .125 thick stock, so much heavier than a true machete but still only weighed about 23 ounces. I made them from 52100, AEBL, and 3V and kept the edges in the 58-60RC range to deal with hardwoods. After using one for years, I really ...
Best machete/blade for sapling removal? | BladeForums.com
网页2015年1月20日 · It bites deep, going straight through almost anything 2" in diameter or smaller in one chop. The bigger Grasso Bolo II and III are like US made Khukuris. If you don't want to spend $200 on the Bark River, Tops makes micarta handled machetes (10" 0.170 thick or 16" .230 thick) that come with great sheaths for $75 or so.
If you have a good machete, what's the point of having a large …
网页2011年11月7日 · Let's say that you have a proven mid-size, all purpose machete (anywhere from 12" to 18") that has a nice convexed edge, and can serve as a great wood chopper as well as clearing brush, and can also handle food prep and game processing tasks. I personally have a 14" Condor Golok (the one with the …
Best Machete? - BladeForums.com
网页2022年5月22日 · I jist finished clearing up a cottonwood blowover and that stuff cuts like grass, just thick. I feel like clearing cattails and reeds is tougher than the cottonwood, but eventually it gets thick enough that the machete needs to be set aside for a different tool. Great for taking the small braches off quickly to make sticks and logs to be hauled ...

网页2020年10月6日 · Moorhaus D2 Machete 60-62 HRC $100.00.25" spine 11.5" Blade 17.5" over all length Its getting harder to find this one right now and I'm not necessarily sold on it.

Best jungle clearing blade? - BladeForums.com
网页Apr 26, 2017. #2. I chose the 1311 because it is closer to a machete, though it would probably clear better with a FFG. The BB13 needs a higher bevel to be effective and I can see the back fin of the Huck Fin getting stuck in brush. Not …
Best budget machete - BladeForums.com
网页2019年10月12日 · I like the 14" bolo and the 12" Latin style for a general purpose carrying, and the 22-24" Latin Style for brush cutting. The Trams can be modified easily--they also have good spring steel that holds an edge quite well, takes abuse, and is the right weight/thickness for clearing brush. The edge should be profiled to suit the intended usage.
Sandviks (Bush Axes) actually useful? - BladeForums.com
网页May 9, 2014. #2. Yes, I've used them. They do work well on small to mid-sized brush. But heavy impacts on larger brush knock the blades loose. I never found a situation where a good machete didn't work better. Some of my co-workers like the brush axe because the blades are interchangeable.
Recommendation? Best tool for Blackberry? - BladeForums.com
网页2018年1月26日 · Wear gloves but if you're careful few thorns will get to your hands. A lanyard on the machete is great if it's sized right. If it's too long a couple twists will shorten it. I like to keep a slightly loose grip, it's less tiring and the machete changes direction faster and easier. Sharp! Sharp!
Ka-Bar Black Cutlass Machete or Kershaw Camp 10?
网页2013年3月4日 · Don't know anything about the Kershaw Camp 10. Of the two that you mention, I'd go with the Cutlass machete. The kershaw is actually much more of a large knife, and while large knives can chop, they're not very good at "clearing brush". That said, for clearing briars I'd be looking for something with more reach anyway.
