“Kukri Machete.”

I looked at machetes on Amazon a few months ago and didn't get one. Think it would be good for cutting down some small, light weight limbs/vines that grow over into my garden from the neighbor's side. Such a device is also good for lopping off heads of zombies.

What kind/brand do you suggest? I don't want to have to get a loan at the bank to buy it.

Sorry, but I haven’t studied the subject. I only know what it is called because I was looking at them awhile back. Some were very expensive, several hundred dollars, but I doubt that you would need an expensive tool/weapon.

What I have is an old Machete that I have owned for over 40 years and I don’t even remember where I got it. I have used it for knocking down Canadian bull-weed and wild blackberry brush.

That's what I use mine for.

A knife that you can beat the crap out of without care?

$9.97. I own two. They’ve taken significant abuse and are still just fine.

I have a couple of the Ontario Knife Co. machetes. one from a mil-surp place posted above (USCav) and a much older same model. The U.S. issue models are simple but very solid. Best tool for limbing small trees and light brush cutting.

Any Tractor Supply is going to have a selection too.
