What blade is best for cutting through branches, vines, and other annoying overgrowths?
Biggest knife I have still struggles to cut though vines or anything with fiber, so I'm trying to figure out if it would be best to buy a machete, kukri, hatchet, or something else.

Quoted By:

when it comes to this kind of thing you really cant beat a billhook or machete. kurkis are expensive, heavy gimmicks and hatchets are inept at cutting anything below 2" in diameter. good brands for machetes include Tramontina, OKC, Gavillan de Incolma, and Fiskars. the only billhooks i have ever used have been either a locally-made no name or Fiskars, both being good.

Condor makes a stainless steel parang machete...it's probably the best chopper on the market. I have the non stainless version and I have to do maintenance on it even when not using it because I live in a very wet environment...i still love mine and use it all the feking time.

In my opinion, Condors are far too expensive for what they are, being machetes. an $80 condor is gonna do exactly the same stuff as a $20 Tramontina.

Tramontane doesn't make a parang style and they don't make stainless. An 80dollar condor will last forever and requitre much less attention. You get what you pay for.

The condor is hands down a better chopper than the other two...again, I just wish it was stainless.

I didn't realize telling the truth was trolling--I manage a lot of forests and by manage I mean remove invasive species, clean up trash, and leave everything else alone.
The only people that claim to be "rural" but need a weed wacker are boomers who move in, cut down everything around the house and plant grass and other non native species.
You're mad because I'm right.

I dint care enough about the opinions of zoomer nitwits larping about “forest management” to be mad. I’ve got acres of land and a ton of blackberries/weeds to clear, I’m not going to use a hand tool for that, sorry if that upsets you pumpkin.

But I’m guessing you’re referring to being on a sheriff’s work crew for shoplifting or a dui or something. Clean it up.

this shits the way to go, shares a battery with all my other tools including my qt chainsaw, while it's annoying to monkey around for miles with both, it's well worth it. I already spend most my days chopping firewood, I really don't wanna chop more than I need to.
belt hatchet helps a lot too.

It's a parang and it cuts better than the longer ones by far. I bought it because it fit in my gardening kit and now it's all I use.

you're a parasite reinforcing your delusions; there was never an argument. You're just coming up with cope after cope for the fact that you don't know anything about forests or trees or land managment and you have other boomers that watch as much TV as you do saying the same retardation--is that what you're arguing about?

But I want to hear more about your manicured lawn in your "rural" homestead? I want to hear about how you keep killing the deciduous trees (totally ignoring canopy trees) and wounder why you have "weeds"

come now, this is what you're reduced too? Tired used memes? you're more pathetic than I could have imagined.

maybe that's more /diy/ but if you're clearing trails often then you simply need power tools.

Depends on the trail
Most of the trails around me are game trails until you get into the national forest/national park. You can easily clear the game trails and improve them into walking trails with hand tools--nothing fancy. The park guys use chainsaws because they're dealing with 2 to 4 foot trees falling across a trails or building bridges.
