Features
- 18-Inch 1095 Carbon Steel Blade — Full-length chopping blade built from tough 1095 high-carbon steel for serious edge retention and impact resistance.

Chops blackberry vines with no troubleBought this to clear a mess of blackberry vines and small saplings behind my shed and it didnt take long to see it was gonna do the JOB. 18 inches of 1095 steel and it still shaves hair after I ran a file over it a few times. The weight does most of the work, you just let it swing and it bites deep on green wood. Only thing is the edge came a little rough out of the box, not terrible but I touched it up before really using it hard. The handle is fine but gets slick once your hands are sweaty in July, I ended up wrapping mine with hockey tape. For the money I dont think you can beat it, and I keep it in the truck now for trimming when I'm out at the property.
Steel takes and holds a good edge,18 inch blade has enough weight to chop branches up to your wrist
Edge needed a touch up right out of the box
Grip gets slick when your hands sweat
