Spent the last 5 days battling thick as gently caress non-grape-producing grapevines with a Ryobi chain saw and a lovely Harbor Freight machete. Really got tired of them choking the life out of the trees, although some were thick enough to qualify as trees themselves.

Must have that killing machine on a stick the OP is showcasing, as a few trees look like they're sporting dreads now.

Also, pro-tier machete recommendations welcome, I need something ready to rock out of the box, I can't wait for granpappy to perfect one and will it to me.

It's called an ax.

Get the biggest one you can comfortably swing one handed.

I took out a bunch of english ivy with a Grass Gator steel blade head on my weedwacker.



Best machetes are Tramontina. High carbon steel, reasonably priced, none of this internet ninja fat guy chopping up some ham bullshit.


I got this - needed some touch up out of the box, but is solid as hell.

I have that machete and can confirm that it owns.

I swear to god though if I go over to someones house and they don't own a whetstone or a file and their expensive tools are now dull as gently caress I'm going to sharpen it up and murder them.

Also idiots that own an axe but have no idea how to swing it. Murder.

Discuss your recent pointy and sharp or blunt and heavy tools that double as a slayer of men and lesser creatures should the situation call for it in addition to what it was originally designed for.

For instance, I bought a Fiskars pruning saw to lop off some girthy and cumbersome tree limbs before the main trees split and collapse under their own weight. The thing is FANTASTIC and now I can live out my inner lumberjack. Considering emptying my wallet on a dozen axes and machetes so I can be some lovely hippie slasher movie villian. Then maybe a shiny huge gently caress-off chainsaw. Gotta have one of those eventually.

Feel free to laugh at me for having to deal with bradford flowering pear trees

What other tools of the trade do you have for dealing with plants and the occasional animal that dares venture onto your property, goons?

Looked at those briefly, but everything was labeled a boy's ax, the implication being that I am not exactly Dan'l Boone and they're right, but still, humor us insecure entry level morons a bit, AxCo Marketing Dept.

Real answer: This knife is forged from one piece of steel. I have a couple and have beat the poo poo out of them. The handle is hollow so you can mount it on a stick if you want to make a spearhead.

That thing may be a chinese knockoff but I've got a couple and they kick rear end. I've made wooden anime weapons for cosplaying friends and have another at my job where I regularly cut steel/aluminum/bolts and sharpen blades and whatnot. I even used it on a 1/2 inch thick piece of raw stainless steel to cut out a machine part. I love those cheap blue ones.
