    Gerber? Expensive but I'm told they tend to keep their edge OK. Otherwise you could try what the Air Cav did in Vietnam and run a line of det cord down. Not exactly the most neighbour friendly approach but bloody quick.

    I use a khukri for clearing hard to get in places. Have a generic one gifted by a friend. Tora blades does decent light ones, take a look. Will last a lifetime and more.

    Det cord won't touch manuka. We tried. What does work weighs upwards of 15 tonnes though...

    Try this one, @XR500 - mine clearance done rapidly. Basically a sock of high explosive towed across a minefield by a rocket. What's not to love?
