AXES, HAMMERS AND MACHETES

A good axe is essential for outdoor enthusiasts in many situations. Whether it's setting up camp, building shelter or collecting firewood. Without a good tool, you may face an impossible task. Axes have been used for thousands of years for hard work and have evolved over time into true all-purpose tools.

A machete is a type of knife or tool used primarily for outdoor work, camping, survival or gardening. It is a short and strong knife with a fixed blade and an ergonomically shaped handle. Machetes usually have a wide blade and are made of strong steel, which ensures their durability and ability to perform heavy work. Machetes were originally developed in tropical America and have become known for their versatility and efficiency. In many countries, especially in tropical areas, machetes are still an important tool for many tasks. They can be used to remove brush and branches, cut down trees, clear paths and build shelters. There are many different types of machetes with different blade shapes and lengths. Some are designed for precision cutting, while others have a rather coarser blade that is suited for heavier work. Machetes often come with a protective sheath that allows for safe carrying and storage. Using a machete requires care and expertise. It is important to observe safety precautions, protect your hands and wear suitable protective equipment. It is also important to keep the blade in good condition and sharpen it regularly before using the machete.
