Bush Machete

I just bought my first house, which is awesome, but it’s unfortunately surrounded by Japanese arrowroot (kudzu). That’s alright; I may not have a lot of money for the best tools out there, but I had $23, along with hopes and dreams, to buy this tool. Right out of the box, the blade is quite solid but a bit dull—not the worst edge, but it could definitely use sharpening. I used one of those cheap knife sharpeners, and it worked great; the edge holds pretty well. In these reviews, you’ll see complaints about the handle breaking, so here’s the truth: this machete is a garden tool meant for cutting light brush and vines. It is not meant to be used as a maul, an axe, or a weapon. Basically, as long as you’re not trying to split wood, cut trees, or attack White People in Europe, it’s going to function exactly as designed without breaking.

I purchased the Hooyman Bush Machete. Only had it for a few, I'm a scrawny old granny, at first thought it looked too big for me to handle, but it did great, well balanced. Sharpens easily, long lasting edge. Best handle, comfortable and grips great even when wet. I only use the sheath for a little while carrying it through the yard as to not scare my nosy neighbor whom have wild imagination. I haven't tried to use sheath on belt or for long periods of time, but, it looks and feels sturdy enough to use for those purposes. WEAR EYE PROTECTION!! I used machete mostly to chop up corn stocks for mulch (worked perfectly), sticks for bundling (pick-up), whacked grapevines out of the trees. Cut some small firewood, Chopped comfrey and nettle for fertilizer tea. There was no struggle using and work was done quickly. Worked great, easiest if the wood is green. Also very helpful for releasing stress by chopping the SH out of overgrowth. : D even .

Very awesome machete. Great ruberized handle, awesome sharp blade, great product. I love the sheath too. The weight is very nice, swings heavy in a good way. Very good value for the money i paid for it. It looks nice and it can be used for a lot of things, very versatile.

Wanted to trim volunteer limns on our oak tress. Excellent weight and balance. Swings well into small limbs and cuts. Sharp and easy to sharpen.

One of these helped me get control of my invasive weeds. Cut them back a few times over a month or two and cover the ground with edta herbicide (not roundup) and black cloth over winter. I wish my neighbors would do that.

It is excellent for camping purpose

It worked well for a while. The steel blade is not very hard and received some dents and digs on it after its first use. For it to be usable I had to sharpen about every other use, which negated me from wanting to use… handle was at least comfortable enough. When blade was sharp I was easily able to chop through thick weeds, some thumb sized twigs and vines. Will buy a better more expensive brand next time.

I used this a few times after I bought it and it was ok. I used it all day in the yard today and it was amazing. Handle grip is excellent. Heft and thickness of the blade prevents a light strike or serious vibration in your hand/arm. It is sharp and takes care of business from bushes to felled pine tree limbs. I was totally impressed with this machete. Sorry it took so long for the review but it took spring before I got out and used it. Would buy again if needed but the way it’s made if I buy again it will be a gift. Very impressed with the quality for the price.

se ve bien rapido servicio!!

I normally use it to chop obstacles on the road or to clean around the house when it's been raining for too long and the grass is too tall. It is also amazingly easy to cut down thick trunks.

I just received my Hooyman camping bush machete, and it looks exactly like it did in the ads. Good non-slip grip, full body tang, good weight, and for the price you can't go wrong. I would definitely recommend this product to any camper.

これから暫く物騒な時期になりそうなので、護身用に購入。適度に重く 刃の厚さもあり 握りやすくいい感じです。 只家の外で持ち歩くと、銃刀法違反になるので気負付けましょう。

A great little tool. It stays attached to my ATV and it is regularly exposed to the elements. It has absolutely zero signs of corrosion and is going strong.
