Hook-Bladed Camping Tools

The Woodman’s Pal Machete Prepares You for the Forest

— October 18, 2012 — Lifestyle
The Woodman’s Pal Machete is a multi-tool that will make any outdoorsman proud. The hook blade is capable of cutting through branches up to 1.5” in diameter in a single blow. Made from carbon steel, the blade measure at 10.5” and is attached to an ash hardwood handle that is comfortable to grip. A nylon wrist strap is secured to the end of the handle to make it easy to carry around with you, and hard to fly out of your hand and into someone else’s head.

The Woodsman’s Pal Machete will appeal to people who love to go camping in the wild expanse. It will also appeal to people who think they may want to be the next bad guy in a slasher film. Whatever your reason, this blade should do the job pretty well.
