Woodsmans Pal?

[Animalguy]

My son works on a survey crew and wants to try a Woodsmans Pal.
Anyone knows who carries one?

I got one a few years ago via amazon. I would look at the version that does not have the hand guard. Guard is fine if you are using the long blade gets in the way if you are using the hook. Overall is pretty good, better than a machete in my opinion. Combined with a brush axe you can clear some shooting lanes.

I love mine and use it around the house all the time. Mine does not have the handguard, the steel is easy to keep sharp. They usually have a few in stock at Cabelas in Acworth.

When I was surveying we carried a long handled brush axe, an army surplus machete, and a flat bladed shovel.

That fancy blade looks too hard too sharpen IMO. Gotta keep em sharp. They dull quick workin in the dirt..

As others stated, the handguard is in the way. Otherwise it is a fine tool. Made in America.

Wood handled version, Leather sheath. Hook & Blade, sharpen easily w/ a file. Nice weight to the blade. Easy to carry.

I like using one of these. They work great. Cheap too.

My Dad uses his on his deer lease and complained about the unsharpened portion at the end of the main blade. It may be an issue for you, it may not.

You are so right. It was awkward @ first, till I figured out the blade was not sharp all the way. It was easily sharpened & only took a few minutes. GR8 tool to have.
