ナイロンのケースではなくて、アルミとプラの「サヤ」のセットが届きました。取り出しやすいので、使い勝手が良さそうです。

Performs very well.

L?acciaio della giapponese Silky è una garanzia, non sarà come quello delle Katane ma è certamente adatto per fare lavori gravosi in giardino e nella boscaglia bassa.ottimo anche il fodero in cordura ed il sistema di ritenzione.

Già provato. Lama notevole ed ergonomia perfetta. Forse un po’ caro; vedremo la durata.

I spend a lot of time cutting back invasive vegetation in the wetlands surrounding our Southwest Florida home. The Brazilian Pepper tree is a non native plant brought into Florida in the mid-1800's for use as an ornamental plant. Their bright red berries and brilliant green foliage are used frequently as Christmas decorations. However this tree is a member of the same family as poison ivy and can cause reactions to those with sensitive skin as well as respiratory problems for some people when the tree is blooming. These trees can grow up to 10 feet per year and their root systems and canopies expand so quickly that they rob the surrounding vegetation of both water and sunlight. They currently dominate about 700,000 acres of land in Florida.They also sprout limbs vertically and horizontally and create a very thick network of branches. I have often used a reciprocating saw (with green wood blade) and my Esee Lite Machete to attack the outside perimeter of these trees. But since the areas closest to the trunks are very tight, I couldn't get a full swing on my machete and had to look for a "chopper", something that this Silky Yoki excels at. I have several Silky saws (including folding saws and a pole saw) that are built better and last longer than just about any other saw that I've tried. So I thought that an investment in this chopper was a pretty safe bet.Machetes are designed for slashing with a full swing. Choppers are, well, made for short and abrupt (primarily) down strokes. Think about a butcher cutting up a side of beef. The weight is concentrated on a shorter blade and of course the blade itself has to be razor sharp. You should be able to achieve the same results with a chopper in a tight space with about the same effort that you'd use with a longer machete in a more open space. And I'm happy to report that the Silky Yoki Chopper performs as well as I expected it to.The grip is very comfortable, the blade holds an edge all day, and the brush hook on the end helps draw vegetation towards you for disposal. It comes with a hole in the blade for hanging and also a carrying case that matches. The blade is easily touched up with a butcher's steel as long as you follow the natural line and don't get too aggressive. Even if you do abuse the blade, replacements are available. This is a good tool to take with you when hiking, hunting, camping, or clearing brush. It would also make a pretty good defensive tool if you find yourself in a bad situation.
