Review: Most versatile machete - Excellet garden machete and brush axe! I've been using a Fiskars Brush Axe for years, and it is one of the best tools for clearing vines, tall grasses, chopping, and trail clearing. This new Machete Axe has the familiar hawkbill/billhook shape of the Brush Axe, but with more cutting area and a longer, heavier length. I've already used it to prune trees, and the chisel tip is great for cutting off new growth and chopping roots. The hooked shape is the absolute best for small branches and vines, it bites, holds, and severs with surgical precision. I have not used it as an axe yet, but the heft at the end of the blade should make it easy to use without carrying a separate hatchet. It is fairly heavy and has a large grip area for one- or two-handed use. The included sheath is excellent, however it does not have a belt loop or clip, and you have to unsnap the hilt and peel the velcro down the length to remove the tool. Definitely recommended over a standard machete for gardening. It's a little bulky for hiking, but I'll be giving it a try soon. Hard to top the Brush Axe, and I'm not saying it did, but it's up there and a great tool for the right job. In response to those who docked stars because it's not sharp enough: if you own any axes, machetes, or knives (yes kitchen knives as well), you WILL need to know how sharpening works. There are many ways to do it, from v-blade knife sharpeners, to sharpening rods, stones, leather strops, cotton wheels, and belt sanders. Most commercially-produced blades aside from boxcutters and razors do not come as sharp as they can get. Probably to keep from getting damaged in packaging and transit or from cutting the inexperienced owner. Every machete I've ever bought has been arguably "dull," which is NORMAL. Not everybody wants a 2 foot long straight razor. Some people will use it more for chopping hard wood, some for tall grasses. If this is not sharp enough for your liking, SHARPEN IT. It's not hard, and if it shipped sharp, you'd have to resharpen it after a little use anyway. Review: Awesome for small trees & briars. - This is a great yard work tool. It is NOT a great hiking/expedition tool. PROS: The undercut of the axe-head is great to use a kind of bush-hook; if you keep it sharp, you can use a hook-and-pull motion to make quick work of briars (even the hard, woody, mature ones). The extra heft at the end makes it easy to hack through 2-3 inch softwood tree trunks & woody vines/shrubs (willows, cottonwoods, dogwood, grapevine, poison ivy, virginia creeper, etc are all no problem) with just a single blow using only one hand. I use a downward motion, one-handed, to shave 1-1.5 inch branches off the trunks of old overgrown oaks to make it easy to walk/mow under them. Oak branches between 2-3 inches can be done 2-handed, but anything over that can cause bending. Holding it with both hands and using a little extra effort & muscle, I've gone through a few 3-4 inch hackberry trees in 2-3 well-placed blows, but doing so repeatedly does cause some minor bending (which can be fixed using a shop vice). The handle is the best I've used (comparing to Gerber, Ontario, Galivan, etc) both in terms of grip (one-handed and 2-handed are both excellent) and for avoiding blisters after hours of sweaty use. CONS: It is *not* so great for trekking through dense growth; that is, if your goal is rapid forward movement, going from point-A to point-B through a thicket, this is NOT the machete you want. For all the virtues of the axe-like head and the undercut/bush-hook, these features also make it easy to get tangled in vegetation as you move along. Reading other reviews, I noticed that a lot of people mentioned that it arrives quite dull; this is true. Out of the package, it is as dull as a spoon. I don't know why Fiskers would do this, but it definitely is not "ready to go" straight out of the package -- you will need to sharpen it before using. ## Features - IDEAL MACHETE AXE: Heavy duty machete axe or camping axe with a hardened steel axe blade for faster, more powerful chopping and splitting; Sharpened blade curve for efficient pull-cuts; Sharpened tip for push-cutting and chiseling - MAXIMUM POWER AND PRECISION: Survival machete with rust-resistant and low-friction blade coating designed to glide through tough materials with speed and efficiency; Comfortable, performance handle is textured for boosted power and control - LONG-LASTING AND RELIABLE: Tactical machete with hardened, steel blades stay sharp through heavy use and provide excellent durability for lasting value; ; Ideal for clearing thick brush, chopping roots, cutting branches, palms, and more - QUALITY TOOLS: Heavy Duty Machete designed to help you embrace the outdoors, Fiskars machetes make a great splitting axe and are equipped with smart technologies and award-winning, ergonomic features that make it easier to tackle outdoor tasks - INCLUDES: One 18-inch Fiskars Axe Machete designed for one-handed use; with Nylon Sheath; Backed by a lifetime warranty ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B019EXCS2Q | | Best Sellers Rank | #73,170 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #38 in Gardening Machetes | | Blade Length | 18 inches | | Blade Material | Nylon | | Blade Material Type | Nylon | | Brand | Fiskars | | Brand Name | Fiskars | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,400 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00046561802363 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Nylon | | Included Components | Fiskars Machete Axe | | Item Dimensions L x W | 31.5"L x 7.43"W | | Item Highlight | For Cutting Tree Branches, Roots, & Palms, Machete Knife with Blade Curve & Sharp Tip & Rust-Resistant Low-Friction Coating | | Item Type Name | Machete Axe | | Item Weight | 2.6 pounds | | Manufacturer | Fiskars | | Manufacturer Part Number | 385101 | | Model Number | 385101-1002 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Product Style | Machete Knife | | Style | Machete Knife | | UPC | 309277144432 046561802363 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Lifetime warranty | ## Product Details - **Blade Length:** 18 inches - **Blade Material:** Nylon - **Brand:** Fiskars - **Handle Material:** Nylon - **Style:** Machete Knife ## Images ![Fiskars 28" Heavy-Duty Machete Axe for Yard Work & Garden with Sheath - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61rz+u9B-iL.jpg) ![Fiskars 28" Heavy-Duty Machete Axe for Yard Work & Garden with Sheath - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91xYcMT9iQL.jpg) ![Fiskars 28" Heavy-Duty Machete Axe for Yard Work & Garden with Sheath - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71hkzQPj+bL.jpg) ![Fiskars 28" Heavy-Duty Machete Axe for Yard Work & Garden with Sheath - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81xxX+MbuSL.jpg) ![Fiskars 28" Heavy-Duty Machete Axe for Yard Work & Garden with Sheath - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81J04HWwapL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: what is the country of origin?** A: It’s made in China, as I expected. Generally, if a product doesn’t explicitly say it’s made in the USA, it’s not. **Q: Where is it manufactured?** A: China like most things these days unfortunately. But it does have a nice feel in your hands. **Q: Does hook and hook side blade cut stems and is it sharpened (or sharpenable)?** A: yes, hook and hook side blade come sharpened, but can be resharpened if you don't like the type of edge they put on it. **Q: Where is it made?** A: I can’t find any markings indicating where it was made. The Fiskars brand is from Finland, however I don’t know if it was made there. Sorry, I wish I could be of more help. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Most versatile machete *by C***C on June 21, 2016* Excellet garden machete and brush axe!

BUY THIS FISKARS MACHETTE AXE! *by A***R on April 6, 2024* This machette axe is the most amazing brush, vine and limb clearing tool, ever! If you need a solid tool for clearing brush, limbs and vines, DO NOT HESITATE, purchase this Fiskars machette axe. I'm sure it's not recommended, nor do I care, but I was clearing small tree limbs, up to 3" on trees, in a single smooth swipe. I was also able to slice through thick vines and even thin vines of bittersweet growth, that was very abundant. The grip is amazingly comfortable for me, at just over 6' and large size gloves, the handle absorbs the impact extremely well, leaving virtually no fatigue, if you know how to propely swing and use a machette. With both hands or just one, it has an extremely effective slice and weight distribution. The added axe head, can be very useful as well. I cleared an area 1200 square feet or bigger in a matter of a couple hours, taking my sweet time and not overworking myself... I'm too old for that anymore. I considered making a video for this product review, I liked it so much. I've never used a machette with the strength, sharpness, erconomics and longevity of handling ease. I'm the MOST skeptical person, you'll ever meet. I do not write reviews. My personal recommendation, is basically a guarantee, you will not be disappointed. Thank you for your time. ## Frequently Bought Together - Fiskars Machete Knife, Machete For Cutting Trees, Heavy Duty, 18-Inch Bushcraft Axe Branch Cutter with Rust-Resistant and Low-Friction Blade Coating and Nylon Sheath - Fiskars Axe and Knife Blade Sharpener - Outdoor and Backyard Tools - Black - Fiskars Machete Saw, Tempered Steel Blade, One-Handed Grip Handle with Secured Wrist Lanyard, 18 Inches --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/23787731-fiskars-28-heavy-duty-machete-axe-for-yard-work-garden](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/23787731-fiskars-28-heavy-duty-machete-axe-for-yard-work-garden) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-09-19*
