How To Use
-
Chopping & Slicing: Grip the molded handle firmly near the base and swing in a fluid, angled downward arc to slice through vines, vegetation, and small limbs.
-
Clearing Brush: Maintain a steady rhythm while clearing thick underbrush, allowing the weight of the 18-inch high-carbon steel blade to carry the stroke.
-
Maintenance & Storage: Clean the high-carbon steel blade thoroughly after field use, dry immediately, and apply a light coat of gun oil or mineral oil to prevent surface rust.
