Hooyman Bush Machete with Heavy Duty Construction, Ergonomic No-Slip Handle and Belt Sheath for Gardening, Land Management, Bushcraft, Hunting and Outdoor , Black/Green

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.

Very good grip and blade. Feels solid and is very sharp. Thumbs up on this purchase.

Length as stated. Chopped through 3” vine with ease, 3 chops. Took no chips, dings, knicks to the blade. Blade felt sharp, but had trouble cutting small objects, so need’s Sharpened. Loved the length, sturdiness, blade craftsmanship, material. Only issue, large hands and handle is too short. When I chop, swing, end/tip of handle rolls up/down in palm making a blister in center of palm. Also, shirt handle makes it unsafe, with a tendency to slip out of handle. No secure hand bind to keep on wrist if it does slip too. Despite that, it is great, sharpen. However, I hope they increase handle length, if I were to use more than an hour.

It is excellent for camping purpose

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.

Initial impression is that this is a quality product. I can see how the green rubber grips might come out over time, but looks good out of box. The sheath also seems quality built with 5 rivets along the length. Tough plastic liner inside the sheath. Loop with a snap above the guard will keep the blade in place. The belt loop allows about a 2 inch belt and is fastened with snaps, so you don't have to take your belt off to remove the sheath. I look forward to using this on clearing some paths through undergrowth. The weight feels just right for having heft without excess.

The Hooyman Bush Machete boasts heavy-duty construction and an ergonomic no-slip handle, making it feel robust and reliable in hand. However, there are a couple of areas where this product could use some improvement. First, the machete came pretty dull out of the box. I expected it to be sharper, ready for immediate use. Having to sharpen it right away was a bit disappointing. Second, I feel a wrist strap should be included for safety concerns. Given the nature of this tool, a wrist strap would provide added security and prevent potential accidents during heavy use. Overall, the Hooyman Bush Machete is a solid tool with good potential. If it came sharper and included a wrist strap, it would be much closer to perfect.

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 .

se ve bien rapido servicio!!

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.

Heavy and good. Not really sharp but that’s okay.

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.
