I had one about 15 years ago and lost it. Most of the cheap, farm-store replacements I bought have been toys compared to the Ontario machete. I should have just ponied up the $20 and got a real tool.<br /><br />Please consider taking a few picture and adding a few words to your comment (who, what, how, where, when, why). I LOVE guest posts.<br /><br />-JoeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11578722269743102703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2350730829838285972.post-64303232808483367152013-12-20T14:12:41.711-08:002013-12-20T14:12:41.711-08:00We did a number of strategically placed clear cuts...We did a number of strategically placed clear cuts on small 1 to 2 acre sections. In a few of these clearcuts, we noticed an excellent crop of red oak seedlings coming up. Once they reached 12 - 15 ft, we released them by cutting out the hickory, maple, cherry and sassafras. Quick work was made of these competing trees with a simple Ontario machette. Good steel and holds an edge well but takes awhile to get the edge on. The response this past year was exceptional growth.Cisco Jobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18249132261605978662noreply@blogger.com
