This is the tool to have: On a scale of 1-10 for useful hand
sickle-machete-parang, this rates a good 7.
The overall large size, weight, blade thickness and length make it superior
to many I have seen pictures of.
I think I will try to make some of these in my shop, probably out of
uniform thickness high speed or high carbon steel plate from circular
sawblades.
