Fiskars Machete Saw, Gifts for Dad, Tempered Steel Blade and Lanyard, 18", Black

This is my second one a buy. Still have the first one I bought two year ago, Using it almost every day still working fine. I bought another one in case there is a shortage is supply bc of tariffs etc , cannot live without it, totally recommend it.

Sturdy grip and sharp; made quick work of a stubborn thistle patch before they became a stick-to-you problem. Doesn’t come with a sheath so storing a long sharp item like this can be a problem. The saw blade side wasn’t much use on these plants but machete edge worked great.

I bought this to cut brush and small tree branches. I am a 71 year old woman with a small hand, and the handle is a little bit too thick for my taste. When I used it to saw some small tree branches, it was very effective. I sawed through a 3" branch with relative ease. I chopped some tall weeds with the blade and it worked very well. The packaging is very annoying: freeing the machete from the packaging was rather difficult.

this machete is very well made , with a comfortable handle ,safety lanyard ,saw back ,and a very sharp cutting edge that stays sharp . the blade is made of hardened steel . it is lighter than the one it replaced , i ordered a GI style plastic molded sheath after i used it for safety ,it is to sharp on both sides to carry it bare . also my old one had a black handle and if you laid it down or dropped it was hard to see ,this one is highly visible with safety orange on the over sized handle .i bought this item ,like it ,and i would recommend this fiskars product

I've been waiting on a chance to use this before I reviewed it. Today, after weedeating, I used it to trim some tiny off shoots on our trees and cut poison ivy vines. The vines were a good 1 inch in diameter and required the saw side. It was perfectly up to the task. I had sharpened the smooth side but it cut through the offshoots to clean up the tree like butter.The lanyard around the wrist feels nice and it's weighted quite well. It feels good and sturdy in the hand. I'm a woman, 5'4" and the length felt great. I came back to review it and was surprised at the low cost! If you have an established yard, you might not need it. But having cleared this piece of land only a year ago, I find it very handy for the larger weeds and small bushes trying to take over my backyard.I purchased the fiskars axe sharpener with this and it works great as well. Three light pulls and this was insanely sharp. Great value here.

Well made, light but sturdy. I wish it had come with a sheath. Not terribly sharp out of the box, I use it to cut back fragomera reeds on my property, and it needs frequent sharpening

Wear gloves long use would def create blisters. But that is true with most hand tools of this type. The grip is a good design (ergonomic)

This machete is great . The blade is strong , the saw is good and the price is a bargain . I usually don't write reviews , but I had to give this two thumbs up
