Product Description
Our 284 Premium Model Woodman's Pal did not and still does not go unnoticed by the U.S. Military. This model was standard issued from the early part of World War II through Desert Storm. G.I's and the U.S. Army Signal Corp relied heavily on the Woodman's Pal for land clearing operations. At the time of the Vietnam War, the Woodman's Pal was designated the "Survival Tool, Type IV" and was issued in air crew survival kits. Gripped as either an axe or a machete, the Woodman's Pal can clear trails and brush, and perform the tasks of many tools such as machetes, axes, hatchets, trimming saws, pruning scissors, knives, bow saws, and sometimes even chain saws. With one Woodman's Pal, you can trim bushes and small trees, prune, clear or blaze trails, clear brush from lines, remove unwanted growth and build shelters or duck blinds. As All-American as you can get, Woodman's Pal tools are formed from the highest-grade American steel, melded with the best American ash wood. Enthusiastic Pennsylvania craftsmen do all manufacturing of the Woodman's Pal. Their precision and attention to detail are proof of their commitment to our USA Pride an motto: Build it once, Build it right.

By Christopher D. Kahle
Though the price is high for a machete, this tool is worth every penny if you have the means. I used it the first day I received it, and having never used a Woodman's Pal before, I was able to clear my entire back yard (approx. 1/4 acre) of thorny brambles and small saplings within 30 minutes. It would easily have taken twice as long and resulted in much frustration and many scratches and thorn gouges with a regular machete.The genius of the design is in the sickle hook on the back of the blade. It not only cuts quite well itself, but brush and debris can be quickly and (most importantly) safely pulled out and thrown aside in one motion -- without bending over and grappling with your work (all the while holding a sharp blade in one hand if you haven't already dropped it in frustration).It makes the clearing of brush and saplings almost enjoyable and absolutely faster and safer. Attention to detail is an understatement when referring to the design of the Woodman's Pal. You'll know what I mean when you see one up close. From the blunted safety edges to the inward curve of the main blade to the bevel grind on the sickle edge, this is a "thinking mans" machete. It is very well made and nicely balanced so it's not tiresome to use. The leather-wrapped handle and "cutlass style" hand guard is a nice touch too, but like everything else on this blade, serves a purpose. The leather prevents slippage while the guard protects your hands and knuckles as well as secures the machete in your hand. It looks nice too. If you take it camping with you, don't be surprised if folks at the campground take notice.

Woodman's Pal?
By J. T. Gettys
Great catalog for this item, very expensive but sounded great. Found it to be pretty ordinary. Doesn't cut brush anywhere nearly as well as portrayed. Should have bought the twenty dollar machete.
