This is a very fine machete. I really appreciate the forward weight of the blade to make light work of heavy brush. The longer length also saves your lower back. I have used this model for 20+ years in camping and rural residential work. I live on the North East coast of Florida. Very subtropical, with lots of heavy vines and palmetto plants. You may want to perform a fine sharpening touch to the blade. Another option would be to finish and water seal the handle.

The length of this machete is good for helping to save your back, but its weight may well kill your upper forearm for a while.
I bought this machete for work I do with an invasive exotic plant company in south Florida. I needed something long and light enough to mow down stands of young Melaleuca trees, but heavy enough for smaller hardwoods and briars, and yet nimble enough to pick out seedlings hiding around the trunks of native trees and shrubs.
If you need a tool to clear smaller areas, but you don’t want to go as far as a brush axe (Kaiser blade, sling blade, etc.), I can recommend this machete. I might suggest also putting an extra coat of varnish on the handle after perhaps an additional sanding. I also put an edge on part of the back of the blade tip hooking/cutting small growth in tight spaces.
