Fiskars Machete Saw, Tempered Steel Blade, One-Handed Grip Handle with Secured Wrist Lanyard, 18 Inches

I've been waiting on a chance to use this before I reviewed it. Today, after weedeating, I used it to trim some tiny off shoots on our trees and cut poison ivy vines. The vines were a good 1 inch in diameter and required the saw side. It was perfectly up to the task. I had sharpened the smooth side but it cut through the offshoots to clean up the tree like butter.The lanyard around the wrist feels nice and it's weighted quite well. It feels good and sturdy in the hand. I'm a woman, 5'4" and the length felt great. I came back to review it and was surprised at the low cost! If you have an established yard, you might not need it. But having cleared this piece of land only a year ago, I find it very handy for the larger weeds and small bushes trying to take over my backyard.I purchased the fiskars axe sharpener with this and it works great as well. Three light pulls and this was insanely sharp. Great value here.

This machete is great . The blade is strong , the saw is good and the price is a bargain . I usually don't write reviews , but I had to give this two thumbs up

Nice feel but does not come sharp. The saw on the back looks a little menacing but is a pretty handy feature for brush. Snapped right at the second sawtooth on some I guess hardy Virginia thorny vines. The blade is still in good shape but dull and not useful anymore. Will check with Fiskars on the lifetime warranty and update here.

I told my wife I got this to help chop down the overgrown foliage in the back 40. It does work for that, but in all honesty, I got it because I thought it would make a great weapon for the zombie apocalypse. Given how easily it slices through tree branches though, I have no doubt it can be just as effective—if not more so—in severing the heads of the recently undead from their reanimated corpses. Will I ever find out? Who knows? But if you read in the news about a bored middle-aged man from the suburbs going on a decapitation spree with a machete, you can probably assume I got tired of waiting.

This is my second one a buy. Still have the first one I bought two year ago, Using it almost every day still working fine. I bought another one in case there is a shortage is supply bc of tariffs etc , cannot live without it, totally recommend it.

Well made, light but sturdy. I wish it had come with a sheath. Not terribly sharp out of the box, I use it to cut back fragomera reeds on my property, and it needs frequent sharpening

Wear gloves long use would def create blisters. But that is true with most hand tools of this type. The grip is a good design (ergonomic)

I’ve been buying Fiskars garden tools for many years, and they are the best. The quality is excellent, and they have a lifetime replacement warranty if something does break. You can’t go wrong with this brand!
