But don’t overlook some old technology in a slasher - this one is sixty years old that I know about and I can remember my Dad using it back then
I carry it in my trapping pack everywhere I go - gorse, vines, ponga ferns, bracken fern, small trees - they don’t argue with this tool - the blade shape pulls a vine towards you - I just had the original handle out and re-seated it about 25mm deeper - but might be a bit heavy for longer hunting trips
