Fiskars 9 in. Steel Billhook Saw Machete, Black/Orange

I like Fiskars. This is no exception. I'm quite sure that this will last a long time, as long as it's used properly and taken care of properly. NOTHING lasts if not used properly! This is a machete/pruning tool not an axe or prying device. Small branches, briars, cat tail reeds and ornamental grasses. NOT Fire wood or large trees. Small sassafrass, yes. This is sharp right out of the package. You can use this for many purposes but keep in mind that this is a thin blade not a hatchet. This should last longer than you think. The only problem you might have, is sharpening the hook blade. This is a very good tool for the trail,garden,around the house and in the field. SgtWall USMC

this is an excellent alternative to a camping machete and a folding saw.

Much shorter than a standard machete blade, but weighted to give power to shorter strokes. You can't beat a 24" blade for overall chopping, but this delivers power in confined spaces. It took about 15 minutes to get the "feel" of the proper swing. After that, very easy to work with.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has been fantastic for all of the overgrowth in my yard. We've had copious amounts of rain for the last 6 weeks and because of that everything has flourished. I've started taking my yard back and went to take down some pokeberry plants that had a pretty thick stalk, this sliced through them effortlessly. I was able to get weeds and clear spaces close to our air conditioning unit and other normally hard to reach places. Very impressed. The included sheath was also amazing. I have no worries about accidentally cutting myself when not in use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband loves this billhook saw. He loves that the saw is so sharp and makes maintenance in the yard very easy. The handle and grip is comfortable and easy to handle. The saw also holds up well to the weather and doesn't rust.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I JUST TRIED OUT MY FISKARS BILLHOOKSAW TO CUT DOWN MY DEAD ROSE BUSH. IT DID A GREAT JOB. IT COMES WITH A CASE TOO COVER IT TOO. IT IS A VERY HIGH QUALITY CUTTING TOOL FOR YOUR YARD NEEDS. I WILL TELL ALL MY FRIENDS ABOUT IT. ITS A GREAT PRODUCT.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This works really good. I am 46 and I have had shoulder surgery. This isn't heavy. When I need something done I can use this saw and do it my self. I works on small branches and weeds. I recommend. No design? Made of great quality metal and had a great handle for grip.

The machete blade is nice and sharp. The saw part is not. I found the hook to be more useful than I anticipated. Sturdy and comes with a nice case.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this to cut a bunch of weeds that were just too thick for a push mower or weed eater Requires good old elbow grease but works very well. It chops thick stalks. Saws small branches, roots and limbs. Is ergonomically friendly for the hands. Come with a protective sheath to store or carry safely. This is sharp so wear proper protection. Would reccomend as an addition to other yard tools as part of your yard/hedge cleaning.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This saw is much larger than it seemed in photos. It's heavy duty and robust. The machete side is extremely sharp, so the thick canvas sleeve is great to keep it safe and protect from injury when not using. As for the saw side, the teeth are coarser, and the blade is quite thick. I prefer a much thinner blade for trimming tree branches. Overall, it's a solid product, and would be great for maintaining densely wooded or overgrown plants. I'm not sure how useful it is going to be for a more manicured yard and ornamental landscaping.
