Choosing Sustainability

This blade is much more robust than the grass blades. It is a heavy duty blade, 60mm wide. It is capable of cutting most woody plants up to 1cm in diameter, or bigger, depending on the species; but it is not recommended for grass. Typically used to work in areas where there are small saplings, fruit tree or thorn suckers, or weeds with woody stems. Care must be taken to keep the blade sharp, since heavy use of a blunt blade on tough material could damage the snath. The blade length is 50cm.

Some people refer to this blade as a fern blade as it is the one most like those used in the bush clearing days of NZ. Others call it a ditch blade- for similar reasons,  one like this was used to clear ditches. (and this one could be used for both those jobs).
