You don't see many brush knives like that here, though few people do use these. Takes a six inch replaceable blade. I bought one at a garage sale for $4 once but never really used it much.



Usually we just use the chainsaw. Hard on the back and the equipment, bending over and cutting endless little shmucky overgrowth close to the ground, but it is fast. Always end up catching the dirt and hitting rocks. Kind of annoying work. Kills the lower back.

(But not today. Another rain out. )

Thanks for your answer.The vesuri is like a "falx" against trees.Its light and has a quite powerfull blow becouse the sharpened edge is the inner one,but i bet its too slow for a pros to use.You guys really have hard job.My unckle Who had A farm and some forest aswell also always curzed his back pains.Long back and cutting down trees just dont mix.
