Anyone have experience with this product? I have a need for something like this where I hunt. The standard machete is just to light. Would like to have something with a little more heft for building ground blinds and cutting shooting lanes in high grass. The Woodsman's Pal has a long history but I have never seen on up close and personal. Thanks for your help.

I've owned one for years--good tool.

I have one and I think it was worth the investment.  It's a good tool and made in the USA, to boot.

They look good.  A well made (not cheapo) kukhri is also a great tool for doing those very things you suggested.  Sharp, not light weight, curved to make cutting easier.

I just got a Ka Bar Parangatang - excellent steel, it's got heft but well balanced, and it's also American made.  I like the Woodsman's Pal, but would rather take the Parang.

The briar hook makes this tool for me.  Does wonders on greenbriar and other aggravating little vines--one little yank works better than lots of chopping.

Good tool, I've used mine for 3 seasons and have no complaints

Hmmm... I could see where that would be just the ticket for trimming trails to my stands, etc.  Seems like the Long Reach model might work best?
Might have to add that to Santa's list this year!

Very well designed tool. I have used mine hard for years and it has held up fine.

I believe it originally made its mark in WWII....good stuff.

I did a review on the Woodmans Pal (thats the correct spelling) on my website. I have one handy always. AWESOME tool when building blinds, etc. It works exactly as it should, and is pretty much indestructible.

I got one a few years ago. Got my wife to buy it for me for Christmas. The tool was awkward at best. Mostly it was just painful. The dull blade and hook gave me quite a few whip-lashed ears trying to hack through brush or saplings. The cutting edge doesn't go all the way to the tip. The curve and out of balance weight made it unwieldy. It's laying in the shed somewhere unused. I saw it recently. The leather handle is covered in mold.
I have cheapo machete that is much more useful.
