Not that impressed to be honest. I’d rather have a decent machete and a small ax. One of them does it all but not real great at any of it. A Kaiser blade works good for thicker brush and briars IMO.

I have a pattern drawn up for something similar I'm going to pound out here whenever I get to it. Wide, thick blade, broad at the tip but not squared off. Stacked leather handle with a D-guard. MAGA
