Review: DO NOT HESISTATE. BUY THIS FISKARS MACHETTE AXE! - This machette axe is the most amazing brush, vine and limb clearing tool, ever! If you need a solid tool for clearing brush, limbs and vines, DO NOT HESITATE, purchase this Fiskars machette axe. I'm sure it's not recommended, nor do I care, but I was clearing small tree limbs, up to 3" on trees, in a single smooth swipe. I was also able to slice through thick vines and even thin vines of bittersweet growth, that was very abundant. The grip is amazingly comfortable for me, at just over 6' and large size gloves, the handle absorbs the impact extremely well, leaving virtually no fatigue, if you know how to propely swing and use a machette. With both hands or just one, it has an extremely effective slice and weight distribution. The added axe head, can be very useful as well. I cleared an area 1200 square feet or bigger in a matter of a couple hours, taking my sweet time and not overworking myself... I'm too old for that anymore. I considered making a video for this product review, I liked it so much. I've never used a machette with the strength, sharpness, erconomics and longevity of handling ease. I'm the MOST skeptical person, you'll ever meet. I do not write reviews. My personal recommendation, is basically a guarantee, you will not be disappointed. Thank you for your time.
Review: Most versatile machete - Excellet garden machete and brush axe! I've been using a Fiskars Brush Axe for years, and it is one of the best tools for clearing vines, tall grasses, chopping, and trail clearing. This new Machete Axe has the familiar hawkbill/billhook shape of the Brush Axe, but with more cutting area and a longer, heavier length. I've already used it to prune trees, and the chisel tip is great for cutting off new growth and chopping roots. The hooked shape is the absolute best for small branches and vines, it bites, holds, and severs with surgical precision. I have not used it as an axe yet, but the heft at the end of the blade should make it easy to use without carrying a separate hatchet. It is fairly heavy and has a large grip area for one- or two-handed use. The included sheath is excellent, however it does not have a belt loop or clip, and you have to unsnap the hilt and peel the velcro down the length to remove the tool. Definitely recommended over a standard machete for gardening. It's a little bulky for hiking, but I'll be giving it a try soon. Hard to top the Brush Axe, and I'm not saying it did, but it's up there and a great tool for the right job. In response to those who docked stars because it's not sharp enough: if you own any axes, machetes, or knives (yes kitchen knives as well), you WILL need to know how sharpening works. There are many ways to do it, from v-blade knife sharpeners, to sharpening rods, stones, leather strops, cotton wheels, and belt sanders. Most commercially-produced blades aside from boxcutters and razors do not come as sharp as they can get. Probably to keep from getting damaged in packaging and transit or from cutting the inexperienced owner. Every machete I've ever bought has been arguably "dull," which is NORMAL. Not everybody wants a 2 foot long straight razor. Some people will use it more for chopping hard wood, some for tall grasses. If this is not sharp enough for your liking, SHARPEN IT. It's not hard, and if it shipped sharp, you'd have to resharpen it after a little use anyway.

**Q: what is the country of origin?**
A: It’s made in China, as I expected. Generally, if a product doesn’t explicitly say it’s made in the USA, it’s not.

**Q: Where is it manufactured?**
A: China like most things these days unfortunately.  But it does have a nice feel in your hands.

**Q: Does hook and hook side blade cut stems and is it sharpened (or sharpenable)?**
A: yes, hook and hook side blade come sharpened, but can be resharpened if you don't like the type of edge they put on it.

**Q: Where is it made?**
A: I can’t find any markings indicating where it was made.  The Fiskars brand is from Finland, however I don’t know if it was made there.  Sorry, I wish I could be of more help.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.5 Star tool. Well made and useful. Great tool to install on tractor.
*by S***G on February 28, 2017*

Surprisingly well built and useful tool. Have all kinds of axes, hatchets, trimmers, etc used on the farm. Regular machete not all that useful. Been clearing overgrowth with lots of super evergreen swedish ivy, honey suckle, poison ivy and looking for a better tool. Use a tractor with grapples to clean the big stuff. Then use this to do the cleanup and cut vines from trees. Worked better than I thought. Pros Good length and great handle. Examining before use thought the blade was too thin, but it worked well and wasn't overly fatiguing to use.Sharpened before I used it, <5 minutes on belt grinder and finished with stone. Blade stays sharp and the forward weight of blade really can cut deep. The slight bill hook makes cutting vines and small limbs safe and effective. . Some vines were 3" think and took multiple strikes to cut through with the hatchet blade. The sheath is very well made. Good price point for a quality tool. Like the combination of edges and tools. Should last a long time. Cons Sheath has no belt loop. Not a problem for me. Pop riveted sheath to the canopy of the tractor to have it readily available. One hand can unsnap strap, rip the substantial velcro pocket open and remove the tool. Feel safe to carry tool this way. We mow with this little tractor so always handy for trimming. The tool is not sharp. All tools have to be sharpened and maintained so no big deal. Haven't found the saw blade section on the back that useful. -0.5 Star Unusual but useful tool to keep around. Makes quick work of smaller stuff and especially viney materials. Price was reasonable. MIght buy another for a 2nd tractor because it worked so well. Highly recommended. . This tool has been very handy for spring cleaning. 140 acre farm, mostly wooded. Pop riveted sheath to tractor ROPS canopy so always handy and safe to carry. Great for clearing small limbs or vines on roads, trails and fences. Chopping into the ground hitting rocks has dulled and slightly chipped blade but expected and easily resharpened. Bought a second one for another tractor. Unlike the the first one the blade came factory sharpened. Clearly could see were the blade coating had been ground to leave a fairly sharp edge..Required little effort to bring it to the sharpness that I like. Enjoying this new tool and like the results from using. Bought another to keep on the 4-wheeler. Fits nicely between the body and front rack. Very handy tool to clear face slappers on trails.
