Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Woodsman's Pal since 1941

I'm a fan and hobbyist of bushcraft, and found this tool interesting.



Clic Pic to buy

I like them. Have had one for years. But then again, I like almost any kind of outdoor knife or pocket knife 🤠

They’re a great woodsman tool. I’ve got one and use it to trim back the “jungle”! The 1941 user manual is definitely un-PC!

I have one gifted to me from my father in law and I'm guessing mil surplus as most of the camping /hunting stuff he had he bought mid 50's to mid 60's. It has a steel sheath that's marked as a snow shovel.

I may dig it out of the backup F-250 tomorrow and post a pic. It cuts through blackberries very well.

Mine has the stacked leather handle. I haven’t seen too many others like it.

Had one that got swiped in a deer camp break in. I had other machetes that I thought did a better job, so wasn't a terrible loss.

I have kept one in my gear box in the back of my truck for over 20 years. It gets used frequently.

I’ve never used one, have other machetes I use a lot

Tag. Just because I've always thought these were a good tool. I do remember them being available as WW2 surplus a very long time ago.

Are you going to use it or is it just for coffee table discussions and kept in a dustproof glass case?

Dug my surplus Pal out of the truckbox. Victor model 480.

I have one.It usually is on my atv. I keep it my work truck now.

I have one, cheap machete works better!

I used one for a whole day clearing brush and limbs. Thought it was a pretty poor tool for much of anything and was ready to pitch it off in the river by the time we finished. Kukri is a far superior tool IMO.
